[0040] In order to further illustrate the present invention, the technical solution provided by the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but they should not be construed as limiting the protection scope of the present invention.

[0041] The composition of YPD solid culture medium is: 20 g / L glucose, 20 g / L peptone, 10 g / L yeast extract and 20 g / L agar.

[0042] The composition of YPD liquid culture medium is: 20 g / L glucose, 20 g / L peptone and 10 g / L yeast extract.

[0043] Medium 1 is a YPD liquid medium with a pH of 6.5. Medium 2 is a YPD liquid medium with a pH of 2.5, which is an acidic medium and the pH is adjusted using L-malic acid. Medium 3 is a YPD liquid medium with a pH of 2.3 and the pH is adjusted using L-malic acid.

[0044] Example 1 A method for high-throughput screening of acid-tolerant Saccharomyces cerevisiae, wherein the selection of acidic culture medium and the ultraviolet mutagenesis screening method are as follows: 1. Take the brewer's yeast BY4741 preserved in a glycerol tube, draw three lines on the YPD solid medium plate, and obtain a single colony after cultivation. Pick a single colony and inoculate it in a 250mL shake flask, where the liquid volume of YPD liquid medium is 30~50mL, and activate the strain. The inoculated shake flask is placed on a shaker and shaken at 30℃ and 220r / min. During the cultivation process, sterile sampling is performed every 2h.

[0045] All samples were tested by UV spectrophotometer at an absorbance of 600 nm. 600 The value was in the range of 0.2 to 1, and the UV spectrophotometer was zeroed with uninoculated YPD liquid culture medium during the test.

[0046] Until the OD of the sample is 600 When the value tends to be stable or shows a downward trend, stop sampling. With the sampling time as the horizontal axis, the actual optical density value (i.e. OD 600 Value) as the vertical axis, draw the growth curve, the growth curve is shown in Figure 1 ,according to Figure 1 It can be seen that the bacterial solution in the logarithmic phase was obtained after culturing for 10 to 16 hours. The OD of the bacterial solution in the logarithmic phase was 600 2~8.

[0047] 2. The activated Saccharomyces cerevisiae BY4741 was inoculated into acidic culture media with different pH values ​​(pH was adjusted using L-malic acid) at different inoculation rates, and the growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae BY4741 in acidic culture media with different pH values ​​was observed. Saccharomyces cerevisiae BY4741 grew very slowly in a culture medium with pH = 2.5 and did not grow in a culture medium with pH = 2.3.

[0048] 3. Ultraviolet mutagenesis: Saccharomyces cerevisiae BY4741 was cultured in YPD liquid medium for 14 hours to obtain a culture solution in the logarithmic phase; the culture solution in the logarithmic phase was centrifuged and the supernatant was discarded to obtain the bacteria. The bacteria were gradient diluted with physiological saline to obtain dilutions of different dilution multiples. 100 μL of the dilutions of different dilution multiples were spread on YPD solid medium plates, inverted and cultured at 30°C, and the dilution gradient was determined when the number of colonies was about 100-300 for subsequent experiments. The determined dilution gradient was 10 -4 .

[0049] Turn on the UV lamp to preheat for 30 minutes in advance, and take the dilution gradient of 10 -4 3mL of bacterial solution was placed in a 60mm diameter culture dish for UV treatment for 0s, 30s, 60s, 90s, 120s and 150s, and 3 parallel experiments were set for each treatment time. 100μL of the mutagenic bacterial solution was evenly spread on a YPD solid culture medium plate, inverted and cultured at 30℃ for about 24h, and the colonies were counted. The UV treatment time with a lethality of about 90% was used as the subsequent UV mutagenesis treatment time, and the UV mutagenesis time was determined to be 120s.

[0050] Example 2 A method for high-throughput screening of acid-resistant cerevisiae yeast, wherein the fluorescent dye screening method is as follows: Propidium iodide (PI) is a commonly used red fluorescent nuclear and chromosome counterstain. Since propidium iodide cannot penetrate the membrane into living cells and can penetrate damaged cells, it is often used to identify cell viability and detect dead cells in a population. PI dye is suitable for fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. SYTO-9 is a green fluorescent nucleic acid dye that can penetrate the cell membrane and can be used to stain RNA and DNA in living cells, dead cells, and bacteria.

[0051] 1. Saccharomyces cerevisiae (BY4741) was inoculated into medium 1 and medium 2 respectively, and then cultured. The bacterial concentration was detected under the condition of ultraviolet absorbance at 600nm.

[0052] 2. Wash, resuspend and dilute the samples obtained from culture medium 1 and culture medium 2 with physiological saline to obtain bacterial suspension. The OD of bacterial suspension is 600 The bacterial suspension is dyed at a volume ratio of 1 mL:3 μL of the bacterial suspension and the dye, and the dyes are PI dye, SYTO-9 dye and mixed dye, and the volume ratio of PI dye and SYTO-9 dye in the mixed dye is 1:1.

[0053] 3. After staining, all samples were scanned for fluorescence spectrum at excitation light of 470nm and emission light of 513nm~850nm. Figure 2 .

[0054] Figure 2 The blue line in the figure represents medium 1, i.e., YPD, and the orange line represents medium 2, i.e., YPD medium with a pH of 2.5. Select appropriate fluorescent dyes for bacterial staining based on the scanning results.

[0055] According to the attached Figure 2 The results show that when a single cell is stained with PI dye: PI dye is used to identify dead cells in a population. The fluorescence intensity of cells cultured in pH=2.5 acidic medium (i.e., medium 2) is greater than that of cells cultured in medium 1, indicating that the lower the pH, the more dead cells there are. The maximum fluorescence value of this dye is 635nm wavelength.

[0056] When single cells were stained with SYTO-9 dye: the fluorescence intensity of cells cultured in medium 1 was greater than that of cells cultured in medium 2, indicating that the lower the pH, the lower the cell viability. The maximum fluorescence value of this dye was 505 nm wavelength.

[0057] When a single cell is stained with a mixed dye: with 615nm as the boundary, the fluorescence intensity of the strain grown in culture medium 1 is greater when the wavelength is less than 615nm; the fluorescence intensity of the strain grown in culture medium 2 is greater than 615nm, indicating that the lower the pH, the more dead cells there are and the lower the cell viability.

[0058] In order to further select the staining method with greater fluorescence difference, a blank control group of normal saline was set up, and the staining experiments of medium 1 and medium 2 were repeated. At the same time, the normal saline was tested as follows: Medium 1 and medium 2 were stained and the bacterial concentration was detected according to steps 1 to 3 above.

[0059] Normal saline group: Staining and bacterial concentration detection were performed according to the above steps 1 to 3, except that the bacterial suspension in step 2 was replaced with normal saline, and staining was performed at a volume ratio of 1 mL:3 μL of normal saline to dye.

[0060] After staining, each group used a fluorescence detection microplate reader to detect single-point fluorescence values ​​under the conditions of excitation wavelength 470nm and emission wavelength 505nm. The results are shown in Table 1. It can be seen that the fluorescence values ​​under different pH values ​​and different dye conditions have different differences. The relationship between pH and fluorescence intensity can be established. According to the difference results, SYTO-9 fluorescent dye with significant error is preferred for staining.

[0066] According to the method of each round of mutagenesis culture mentioned above, the fourth round of mutagenesis, the fifth round of mutagenesis, the sixth round of mutagenesis, the seventh round of mutagenesis, the eighth round of mutagenesis, and the ninth round of mutagenesis were carried out to obtain the 4th generation mutation culture fluid (recorded as culture fluid 5, 4th generation (mutation)), the 5th generation mutation culture fluid (recorded as culture fluid 6, 5th generation (mutation)), the 6th generation mutation culture fluid (recorded as culture fluid 7, 6th generation (mutation)), the 7th generation mutation culture fluid (recorded as culture fluid 8), the 8th generation mutation culture fluid (recorded as culture fluid 9) and the 9th generation mutation culture fluid (recorded as culture fluid 10). The determination of the culture time for each round is based on the fact that the liquid becomes obviously turbid.

[0067] Treatment group 2: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (BY4741) was inoculated in medium 2 and cultured at 30°C and 220 r / min for 20 h; the first generation culture fluid of medium 2 was obtained (recorded as culture fluid 1-2.5, as a control); First round of mutagenesis: The first generation culture medium of medium 2 was subjected to the first UV mutagenesis for 120 seconds. Then, the culture medium after mutagenesis was transferred to medium 2 at an inoculation amount of 1‰ of the volume of the culture medium and cultured at 30°C and 220r / min for 30 hours to obtain mutant 1-1 culture medium (recorded as culture medium 2-2.5); Second round of mutagenesis: The culture medium of mutant 1-1 was subjected to a second UV mutagenesis for 120 seconds. Then, the culture medium after mutagenesis was transferred to medium 2 at an inoculation volume of 5‰ of the volume of the culture medium and cultured at 30°C and 220r / min for 33h to obtain the culture medium of mutant 2-1 (recorded as culture medium 3-2.5).

[0068] The third round of mutagenesis: The mutant 2-1 culture solution was subjected to the third UV mutagenesis for 120 seconds. The culture solution after mutagenesis was then transferred to the culture medium 2 at an inoculation volume of 1% of the culture medium volume and cultured at 30°C and 220 r / min for 40 hours to obtain the mutant 3-1 culture solution (recorded as culture solution 4-2.5).

[0069] According to the method of each round of mutagenesis culture mentioned above, the fourth round of mutagenesis, the fifth round of mutagenesis, the sixth round of mutagenesis, the seventh round of mutagenesis, the eighth round of mutagenesis and the ninth round of mutagenesis were carried out to obtain mutation 4-1 culture solution (recorded as culture solution 5-2.5, 4th generation (mutation)), mutation 5-1 culture solution (recorded as culture solution 6-2.5, 5th generation (mutation)), mutation 6-1 culture solution (recorded as culture solution 7-2.5, 6th generation (mutation)), mutation 7-1 culture solution (recorded as culture solution 8-2.5, 7th generation (mutation)), mutation 8-1 culture solution (recorded as culture solution 9-2.5, 8th generation (mutation)) and mutation 9-1 culture solution (recorded as culture solution 10-2.5, 9th generation (mutation)), respectively. The inoculation amount of each round of mutagenesis was based on the growth capacity of the cells, and the culture time was based on the turbidity of the cells.

[0070] The mutant culture fluid obtained in each round of cultivation was sampled.

[0071] 2. Screening of acid-resistant strains by flow cytometry Take 1 mL of culture medium 1, culture medium of mutation 4 to culture medium of mutation 9, culture medium 1-2.5, culture medium of mutation 4-1 to culture medium of mutation 9-1, wash the cells in the culture medium, resuspend them in physiological saline and dilute to OD 600=1.0, and the staining operation was performed according to the SYTO-9 dye staining method of Example 2. After that, each sample was loaded onto the machine, and samples with higher fluorescence intensity were selected according to the fluorescence intensity trend. The ultraviolet mutant strains with stronger green fluorescence were sorted using a flow cytometer. The specific sorting conditions were: excitation light at 488nm, fluorescence detection at 535nm, sample pressure at 60psi, and nozzle diameter set to 70μm. The obtained data were analyzed using Beckman Summit 5.2 software for strain grouping. The sample flow fluorescence detection results are shown in Figure 3 (The left picture is pH=2.5 culture medium; the right picture is YPD culture medium, i.e. culture medium 1). It can be seen that after all the samples were put into the machine, the strains were continuously domesticated by ultraviolet mutagenesis, the fluorescence intensity was continuously enhanced, the strain activity was continuously improved, and the acid resistance of the strains was continuously improved. The fluorescence domestication range of the strains cultured in low-acid culture medium was wider and the domestication effect was better. Among them, the fluorescence signals of mutation 4-1 culture medium, mutation 7-1 culture medium and mutation 8-1 culture medium were stronger.

[0072] According to the data analysis results in Beckman Summit 5.2 software, a gate of 0.01% of the total cells was set to collect cells with higher fluorescence intensity. Specifically: Comprehensively evaluate and select the strain samples of the first-generation culture fluid (control fluid), mutation 4-1 culture fluid, mutation 7-1 culture fluid, and mutation 8-1 culture fluid obtained in culture medium 2 for flow cytometer sorting. Flow cytometer sorting will use electrical stimulation to turn cells into single cells through the sorting channel. The collected cells are all single cells. A total of 590 single colonies were sorted, of which 60 single colonies were sorted in the control fluid (single colonies were placed in 1 96-well plate, that is, the number of sorting plates was 1 96-well plate), and 120 single bacteria were sorted in the mutation 4-1 culture fluid. 170 single colonies were sorted in mutation 7-1 culture medium (single colonies were placed in 3 96-well plates, i.e., the number of sorting plates was 3 96-well plates), 240 single colonies were sorted in mutation 8-1 culture medium (single colonies were placed in 4 96-well plates, i.e., the number of sorting plates was 4 96-well plates), 590 single colonies were cultured in 96-well plates containing culture medium 2 at 30°C and 220r / min, and the grown single colonies were selected for subsequent screening of acid-resistant single strains.

[0073] Example 4 A method for high-throughput screening of acid-resistant brewer's yeast, wherein the sorted samples are further subjected to an acid-resistant screening method, and the results are as follows: The growth status of the single colonies screened in the 96-well plate in Example 3 was regularly observed. A total of 79 single colonies were grown (strain numbers 1 to 79), specifically: 5 single colonies were grown in the control solution (strain numbers 1 to 5), 17 single colonies were grown in the mutant 4-1 culture solution (strain numbers 6 to 22), 31 single colonies were grown in the mutant 7-1 culture solution (strain numbers 23 to 53), and 26 single colonies were grown in the mutant 8-1 culture solution (strain numbers 54 to 79).

[0074] Afterwards, the growing strain was transferred to a 96-well plate according to a volume ratio of 1% inoculation amount. The 96-well plate contained culture medium 2. Two parallel plate experiments were set up. The two parallel plate experiments were named 2.5-1 and 2.5-2, respectively. Both were shaken and cultured at 30°C and 220r / min, and the growth status of the strain was continuously observed.

[0075] When the culture medium becomes turbid, the plate is scanned with an ELISA reader at a scanning wavelength of 600 nm, and acid-resistant strains are further screened based on the detected values ​​(see Figure 4 ). According to OD 600 Thirteen relatively acid-resistant strains were further screened, namely strain No. 11, strain No. 12, strain No. 13, strain No. 21, strain No. 29, strain No. 35, strain No. 45, strain No. 72, strain No. 73, strain No. 74, strain No. 77, strain No. 78 and strain No. 79.

[0076] The 13 strains were renamed according to the sorting samples, the number of sorting plates and the number of grown colonies, namely, 4th generation-1-6 (strain numbered 11), 4th generation-1-7 (strain numbered 12), 4th generation-1-8 (strain numbered 13), 4th generation-1-16 (strain numbered 21), 7th generation-1-7 (strain numbered 29), 7th generation-2-3 (strain numbered 35), 7th generation-3-1 (strain numbered 45), 8th generation-4-1 (strain numbered 72), 8th generation-4-2 (strain numbered 73), 8th generation-4-3 (strain numbered 74), 8th generation-4-6 (strain numbered 77), 8th generation-4-7 (strain numbered 78) and 8th generation-4-8 (strain numbered 79).

[0077] The second strain (numbered as strain 2) from the 13 acid-resistant strains and the control liquid was transferred to a 10mL sterile shake tube (3mL of liquid) at a volume ratio of 2%. The pH of the culture medium in the shake tube was adjusted to 2.3 (i.e., culture medium 3) with L-malic acid, and cultured at 30°C and 220r / min under shaking conditions, and the growth status of the strain was continuously observed.

[0078] When the culture medium becomes turbid, the plate is scanned with an ELISA reader at a scanning wavelength of 600 nm, and acid-resistant strains are further screened based on the detected values ​​(see Figure 5 ). Three strains were further screened, namely 7th generation-1-7, 8th generation-4-2 and 8th generation-4-7, and the second strain (numbered as strain 2) was selected from the control solution for further comparative verification. The three acid-resistant strains screened were transferred to a 250mL shake flask (liquid volume 30mL) at an inoculation volume of 2%. The pH of the culture medium in the 250mL shake flask was adjusted to 2.3 with L-malic acid (culture medium 3), and the culture was shaken at 30℃ and 220r / min, and the growth status of the strain was continuously observed (see Figure 6 ), the 8th generation-4-7 strain was recorded as DXMC847 as the screened acid-resistant strain, and the growth performance of the strain obtained by screening was significantly better than that of the control strain.

[0079] Example 5 The acid-resistant Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains DXMC847 and BY4741 obtained in Example 4 were fermented in 250 mL shake flasks, and the types and contents of organic acids in the fermentation supernatants were detected by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The required culture medium, culture conditions and detection methods are as follows: Preparation of seed culture solution: BY4741 strain and DXMC847 strain were prepared into glycerol tube strains for preservation, and the preserved strains were inoculated into YPD solid culture medium for activation. Single colonies of the activated strains were selected and inoculated into 15mL YPD liquid shake tubes for seed solution preparation (the medium volume of the shake tube was 3mL), and then cultured at 30℃ and 220r / min for 14h until the logarithmic growth phase to obtain BY4741 seed solution and DXMC847 seed solution.

[0080] Shake flask fermentation culture: BY4741 seed solution and DXMC847 seed solution were inoculated at a volume ratio of 3%, respectively. Specifically, 1.5 mL of seed solution was inoculated into a baffled shake flask containing fermentation medium. The volume of the shake flask was 250 mL, and the liquid volume was 50 mL. Fermentation culture was carried out at 30°C and 220 r / min. The fermentation liquid obtained after 144 h of fermentation culture was centrifuged at 8000 r / min for 2 min. The supernatant of the fermentation liquid was passed through a 0.22 μm aqueous membrane to prepare BY4741 liquid phase detection samples and DXMC847 liquid phase detection samples.

[0081] The composition of the fermentation medium was: glucose 50 g / L, yeast powder 15 g / L, (NH4)2SO4 12 g / L, K2HPO4 5 g / L, CaCl2·H2O 0.1 g / L, ZnSO4·7H2O 0.5 g / L, MgSO4·7H2O 6 g / L. During the fermentation process, glucose was supplemented by batch feeding, specifically: sampling was carried out at regular intervals to detect residual sugar. When the glucose concentration was lower than 20 g / L, 80% glucose mother liquor was added according to the sugar consumption to control the glucose content in the fermentation broth to 20-30 g / L.

[0082] Detection method of organic acids in fermentation broth: chromatographic column Agilent ZORBAX Eclipse XDB-C18 (5μL, 4.6nm*250nm), mobile phase: 0.1mol / L KH2PO4 solution, the pH of KH2PO4 solution was adjusted to 2.8 with phosphoric acid, flow rate 0.5mL / min, detection wavelength 210nm, injection volume 20μL, column temperature 20℃.

[0083] The liquid phase test results of BY4741 and DXMC847 are as follows Figure 7 As shown in A, the blue line is the organic acid detection result in the fermentation broth of BY4741 strain, and the orange line is the organic acid detection result in the fermentation broth of DXMC847 strain. Figure 7 Middle B, Figure 7 Middle C, Figure 7 D in the middle are the corresponding results of pyruvate, succinate and L-malate in the fermentation broth. It can be seen that L-malate, succinate, pyruvate and citric acid can be detected in the fermentation broth of BY4741 strain and DXMC847 strain. According to the data in Table 2, it can be seen that the original chassis cell BY4741 strain has a very weak ability to produce short-chain organic acids. The DXMC847 strain obtained by high-throughput screening not only has good acid resistance, but also has a significant improvement in its acid production ability. Among them, the content of pyruvate, L-malate and succinate in the fermentation broth of DXMC847 strain is greatly improved compared with the concentration of the original strain BY4741. It can be seen that the DXMC847 strain can be used as a potential chassis microorganism for fermenting short-chain organic acids, especially suitable for the later transformation and production of pyruvate, L-malate and succinate.

[0085] Example 6 The strain DXMC847 was prepared into a glycerol tube strain for preservation, and the preserved strain was resuscitated and inoculated into an acidic YPD medium with a pH of 2.3 (the pH was adjusted with L-malic acid, citric acid, lactic acid, succinic acid, and pyruvic acid, respectively). After 5 to 10 rounds of continuous subculture, the DXMC847 strain could grow in the acidic medium and had good stability.
