Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of biotechnology, in particular to a single-cell cyanobacteria separation and purification method based on enrichment of paramecium and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic autotrophic prokaryotes, are producers in nature, participate in carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus cycles in nature, and are rich in phycocyanin and can be used as health products, having great research potential and application value. However, it is difficult to purify single-cell cyanobacteria at present, because single-cell cyanobacteria are sensitive to antibiotics, and it is difficult to use antibiotics to kill bacteria to screen cyanobacteria. Moreover, single-cell cyanobacteria have a long growth cycle, and traditional methods such as plate coating or streaking purification of cyanobacteria often need repeated coating or streaking culture, and the time consumed is quite long. The method of using lysozyme to enzymatically digest bacteria to separate cyanobacteria needs to use drug resistance test on bacteria, which is relatively complex, is not suitable for bacteria not sensitive to lysozyme in the environment, and may have the risk of repeated bacterial contamination. Using high-end instruments (flow cytometry sorting, single-cell Raman sorting, etc.) also needs to sort a proper amount of single-cell cyanobacteria to expand culture for 1-2 growth cycles to obtain a certain amount of cyanobacteria free of bacteria, but the instrument is relatively expensive and requires a sterile environment. SUMMARY

[0003] To solve the technical problems in the prior art, the present application provides a single-cell cyanobacteria separation and purification method based on enrichment of paramecium and application thereof, which can accurately solve the above-mentioned technical problems in the prior art.

[0004] Specifically, the present application includes the following contents.

[0005] In a first aspect of the present application, a single-cell cyanobacteria separation and purification method based on enrichment of paramecium is provided, which comprises the following steps:

[0006] Step 1: Provide a solution of single-celled cyanobacteria in the logarithmic growth phase and place the single-celled cyanobacteria solution into a sterile BG11 conical flask; Step 2: Provide a Paramecium solution of known concentration and add the Paramecium solution to the sterile BG11 conical flask containing the single-celled cyanobacteria solution from Step 1, resulting in a Paramecium density of 0.5-2 ce. Step 3: Place the sterile BG11 conical flask containing the Paramecium and single-celled cyanobacteria mixed solution from Step 2 in the first culture environment for cultivation until the number of bacteria is less than half the number of single-celled cyanobacteria. At this point, a cyanobacteria and Paramecium enrichment solution with Paramecium enrichment is obtained, wherein the bacteria are microorganisms other than Paramecium and single-celled cyanobacteria. Step 4: Transfer the cyanobacteria and Paramecium enrichment solution from the sterile BG11 conical flask in Step 3 to a sterile BG11 agar plate for plate coating. Invert the BG11 agar plate after plate coating and cultivate it in the second culture environment until all Paramecium on the BG11 agar plate disappears and a bacterial-free cyanobacteria colony is formed. Step 5: Expand the bacterial-free cyanobacteria colony obtained in Step 4 in an environment free from external contamination to obtain the required number of bacterial-free single-celled cyanobacteria.

[0007] Optionally, the density of the single-celled cyanobacteria solution in the logarithmic growth phase in step one is 1 × 10^ 7 -1×10^ 9 ce ll / mL.

[0008] Optionally, the first and second culture environments are characterized by a photosynthetic photon flux density ranging from 36 to 90 μmol / m³. 2 •s, light-dark cycle ratio ranges from 16:8 to 12:12, temperature range is 24-26℃.

[0009] Optionally, providing a Paramecium solution of known concentration includes: first pouring a Paramecium solution of unknown concentration into a centrifuge tube, then adding anhydrous ethanol to the centrifuge tube to kill the Paramecium in the solution; placing the centrifuge tube after killing the Paramecium under a stereomicroscope to count them, and calculating the Paramecium concentration corresponding to the Paramecium solution based on the number of killed Paramecium, thus obtaining a Paramecium solution of known concentration.

[0010] Optionally, the step of transferring the cyanobacterial and paramecium enrichment solution in the sterile BG11 conical flask from step three onto a sterilized BG11 agar plate for plate coating includes: providing a BG11 agar plate containing 1.8% agar; transferring the sterile BG11 conical flask to a sterile laminar flow hood and shaking the cyanobacterial and paramecium enrichment solution in the sterile BG11 conical flask; and extracting the shaken cyanobacterial and paramecium enrichment solution onto the sterilized BG11 agar plate for plate coating.

[0011] Optionally, the step of expanding the culture of the sterile cyanobacteria obtained in step four in an environment free from external contamination to obtain the required quantity of sterile single-celled cyanobacteria includes: providing a stereo microscope, EP centrifuge tubes and tissue culture tubes containing BG11 solution, and sterilized BG11 culture medium; transferring the stereo microscope, the EP centrifuge tubes containing BG11 solution, the tissue culture tubes, and the sterilized BG11 culture medium to a clean bench for ultraviolet sterilization for 25-35 minutes; and transferring the BG11 agar plate from step four to the clean bench. The clean bench was cleaned, and the BG11 agar plate on the clean bench was wiped and sterilized with a 75% alcohol swab. Under a stereomicroscope, the sterile cyanobacterial colony on the BG11 agar plate was picked up with a 1mL sterile needle and transferred to the EP centrifuge tube containing BG11 solution. Under conditions that prevent external contamination, the sterile cyanobacterial colony in the EP centrifuge tube was transferred to a tissue culture tube containing BG11 solution for expansion culture for 15-25 days to obtain the required number of sterile single-celled cyanobacteria.

[0012] Optionally, the step of transferring the sterile cyanobacterial colonies from the EP centrifuge tube to a tissue culture tube containing BG11 solution under conditions preventing external contamination and culturing for 15-25 days to obtain the required number of sterile single-celled cyanobacteria includes: transferring the sterile cyanobacterial colonies from the EP centrifuge tube to the tissue culture tube containing BG11 solution under conditions preventing external contamination; sealing the tissue culture tube containing the sterile cyanobacterial colonies with a sealing film in a sterile environment of a laminar flow hood; and then transferring the sealed tissue culture tube to... The contents are transferred to a sterile beaker; the opening of the beaker is covered with a bacterial breathable membrane, and the beaker with the membrane is placed in a third culture environment for 15-25 days to obtain the required number of bacteria-free single-celled cyanobacteria; when entering the subculture stage, the tissue culture tubes containing the required number of bacteria-free single-celled cyanobacteria are transferred to a sterile laminar flow hood, and the tissue culture tubes are sterilized by wiping them with 75% alcohol swabs. The sterile single-celled cyanobacteria in the tissue culture tubes are then diluted to a preset multiple and transferred to new sterile tissue culture tubes containing BG11 solution for further culture.

[0013] Optionally, the third culture environment is characterized by a photosynthetic photon flux density ranging from 36 to 90 μmol / m²·s, a light-dark cycle ratio ranging from 16:8 to 12:12, and a temperature range of 24 to 26°C.

[0014] Optionally, in step three, the sterile BG11 conical flask containing the mixed solution of Paramecium and single-celled cyanobacteria from step two is placed in the first culture environment for 2-5 days; in step four, the BG11 agar plate after plate coating is inverted in the second culture environment for 10-21 days.

[0015] In a second aspect, the present invention provides an application of the method for isolating and purifying single-celled cyanobacteria based on Paramecium enrichment as described in any of the preceding claims in the fields of single-cell resistance gene detection, cyanobacterial carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus cycle research, and cyanobacterial resource utilization.

[0016] The technical effects of this invention include, but are not limited to:

[0017] In a first aspect, a known concentration of Paramecium solution is placed in a logarithmic growth phase unicellular cyanobacteria solution environment. By utilizing the Paramecium's habit of preying on bacteria, the ratio of unicellular cyanobacteria to fine algae is increased, thereby enriching unicellular cyanobacteria.

[0018] In the second aspect of this invention, single-celled cyanobacteria are cultured on BG11 agar plates. During the culture process, bacteria in the treated single-celled cyanobacteria solution on the BG11 agar plates form single colonies. Then, the single-celled cyanobacteria grow on the bacterial colonies, compete with the bacteria and undergo community succession. Some single-celled cyanobacteria will occupy the bacterial colonies, forming single-celled cyanobacteria colonies free from surrounding bacteria. At this time, the purified single-celled cyanobacteria colonies can be picked and expanded under the assistance of a stereomicroscope to obtain bacteria-free single-celled cyanobacteria.

[0019] In a third aspect of the present invention, in the sterile environment of a laminar flow hood, a sealing film is used to seal tissue culture tubes containing bacterial-free cyanobacterial colonies, and then the sealed tissue culture tubes are transferred to a sterile beaker. This method of sealing tissue culture tubes in a beaker can prevent contamination by bacteria from the external environment.

[0020] This invention has a good purification effect on single-celled cyanobacteria, low cost, and quick results. It can separate single-celled cyanobacteria and bacteria with only one plate coating, which can greatly shorten the time of traditional separation, purification and culture of single-celled cyanobacteria. It can also stably subculture and prevent contamination by bacteria in the external environment. Attached Figure Description

[0021] Figure 1 The flowchart illustrates the implementation of the method for isolating and purifying single-celled cyanobacteria based on Paramecium enrichment provided in this embodiment of the invention.

[0022] Figure 2 These are photomicrographs (4×10) of the growth of single-celled cyanobacteria after coating on BG11 agar plates in this embodiment of the invention. Figures a and b show the growth of Synechocystis plating before and after treatment with Paramecium solution, respectively. Synechocystis without Paramecium treatment grows densely on BG11 agar plates, and it is difficult to find single algal colonies. The algal colonies are rough around the edges. However, Synechocystis enriched with Paramecium can be found with smooth single algal colonies. The distance between the algal colonies and bacterial colonies is relatively far, which can achieve the selection of sterile single algal colonies for expansion.

[0023] Figure 3 This is a diagram of the living environment for culturing single-celled cyanobacteria in an embodiment of the present invention. The 500mL beaker is covered with a bacterial breathable membrane as the first line of defense against external bacteria. A sealing film is used to tightly seal the connection between the cap of the tissue culture tube and the glass (tissue culture tube body) to prevent bacterial contamination of its opening.

[0024] Figure 4 The figures show the bacterial growth of single-celled cyanobacteria (FACHB-905, FACHB-898, Synechocystis M1, Synechocystis M2, and Synechocystis Z2) before and after purification in this embodiment of the invention, uniformly spread on LB solid medium and cultured at 37°C for 7 days. The CK group (control group) showed bacterial growth in the single-celled cyanobacteria before purification, while the purified single-celled cyanobacteria showed no bacterial growth on the plates, indicating that the purified single-celled cyanobacteria were free of contaminating bacteria, thus proving the reliability of the purification method of this invention.

[0025] Figure 5 This image shows the sequencing results of purified single-celled cyanobacteria (FACHB-905, FACHB-898, Synechocystis M1, Synechocystis M2, and Synechocystis Z2) according to an embodiment of the present invention. The abundance of all single-celled cyanobacteria samples is above 99.6%, indicating that the purified single-celled cyanobacteria are sterile, proving the reliability of the Paramecium enrichment method for plate purification of single-celled cyanobacteria.

The bacterial count in the solution of 5 single-celled cyanobacteria was examined daily under a microscope (the bacteria were microorganisms other than Paramecium and single-celled cyanobacteria). When the number of bacteria under a microscope was less than half that of the number of cyanobacteria (at which point the growth rate of bacteria could no longer keep up with the growth rate of single-celled cyanobacteria), the enrichment of Paramecium was completed.

[0040] (2) Transfer the BG11 agar plates containing single-celled cyanobacteria to a clean bench and sterilize by wiping with 75% alcohol swabs. Under a stereomicroscope (4×10), carefully select single-celled cyanobacteria colonies using a 1mL sterile needle and transfer them to a sterile EP tube containing 100µL of BG11, then to a tissue culture tube containing 10mL of sterile BG11.

The tissue culture tubes are then sterilized by wiping them with 75% alcohol swabs. After the sterilized tissue culture tubes are diluted to a preset multiple (preferably 1 / 10), they are transferred to new sterile tissue culture tubes containing BG11 solution for further cultivation.

[0044] 5. Purification Validation

The media were then inverted in an incubator and cultured at 37°C for 7 days to observe the culture effect of single-celled cyanobacteria before purification.
