Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and in particular to a method for separating and purifying single-cell cyanobacteria based on Paramecium enrichment and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic autotrophic prokaryotic microorganisms, producers in nature, and participate in the carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus cycles in nature. Cyanobacteria are rich in phycocyanin and can be used as health products, with great research potential and application value. However, it is currently difficult to purify single-cell cyanobacteria. Since single-cell cyanobacteria are sensitive to antibiotics, it is difficult to use antibiotics to kill bacteria and screen cyanobacteria. In addition, the growth cycle of single-cell cyanobacteria is long. Traditional methods such as plate coating or streak purification often require repeated coating or streak culture, which takes a long time. The method of using lysozyme to enzymolyze bacteria to separate cyanobacteria requires the use of drug resistance tests on bacteria, which is relatively complicated and is not applicable to bacteria that are insensitive to lysozyme in the environment. At the same time, there may be a risk of repeated bacterial contamination. Using high-precision instruments (flow cytometer sorting, single-cell Raman sorting, etc.), it is also necessary to sort an appropriate amount of single-cell cyanobacteria and expand them for 1-2 growth cycles to obtain a certain amount of bacteria-free cyanobacteria, but the instrument is relatively expensive and the use environment requires sterility.

It only needs one plate coating to separate unicellular cyanobacteria and bacteria, which can greatly shorten the time of traditional separation, purification and cultivation of unicellular cyanobacteria, and can stably subculture and prevent contamination of bacteria in the external environment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0021] Figure 1 A flowchart of the implementation of the method for separating and purifying single-cell cyanobacteria based on Paramecium enrichment provided in an embodiment of the present invention;

[0022] Figure 2 Figure 1 is a microscopic photograph (4×10) of the growth of single-cell cyanobacteria after coating on a BG11 agar plate in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure a and Figure b are the growth conditions of Synechocystis before and after treatment with a Paramecium solution, respectively. The Synechocystis that was not treated with Paramecium grew densely on the BG11 agar plate, and it was difficult to see single algae colonies. The surroundings of the algae colonies were rough. However, after enrichment with Paramecium, single algae colonies with smooth surroundings could be found for the Synechocystis. The distance between the algae colonies and the bacterial colonies was relatively far, so it was possible to select sterile single algae colonies for expansion.

Among them, the single-cell cyanobacteria in the CK group (control group) before purification have bacterial growth, and no bacteria grow on the plate of the single-cell cyanobacteria after purification, indicating that the purified single-cell cyanobacteria have no foreign bacteria, proving that the purification method of the present invention is reliable;

When the number of bacteria examined under a microscope is approximately less than half of the number of cyanobacteria (at this time, the growth rate of bacteria is no longer faster than that of single-cell cyanobacteria), the enrichment of Paramecium is completed.

[0040] (2) The BG11 agar plate with unicellular cyanobacteria was transferred to a clean bench and sterilized by wiping with 75% alcohol cotton balls. Under a stereo microscope (4×10), a 1 mL sterile needle was used to carefully select a single colony of unicellular cyanobacteria and transfer it to a sterile EP tube containing 100 uL BG11, and then transferred to a tissue culture tube containing 10 mL sterile BG11.

[0046] In a sterile clean bench, 100uL of 5 purified unicellular cyanobacteria stock solutions (FACHB-905, FACHB-898, Synechocystis M1, Synechocystis M2 and Synechocystis Z2) were evenly spread on 5 LB solid culture media, then inverted in an incubator and cultured at 37°C for 7 days to observe the culture effect of the purified unicellular cyanobacteria.
