Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microorganisms and relates to a high-density fermentation metabolism regulation process of Akkermansia muciniphila. Background Art

[0002] Probiotics are defined as living microorganisms. The right amount of probiotics will regulate the health level of the host. The effects of probiotics on the host include several modes, such as the production of antibacterial substances, competition for nutrients and adhesion sites, changes in microbial metabolism, and stimulation of allergic reactions. Probiotics can maintain the balance of intestinal flora, inhibit intestinal inflammation, protect the intestinal mucosal barrier, promote intestinal digestive function, relieve diarrhea and constipation, and play an important role in antibacterial and antiviral effects, inhibiting the growth of tumor cells, and enhancing the body's immunity. They are widely used in the food industry and healthcare in the form of probiotic preparations, and are used as fermentation agents for fermented foods. High-density fermentation is a prerequisite for probiotic preparations and high-efficiency fermentation agents.

[0003] Akkermansia muciniphila (AKK) is a strict anaerobic bacterium isolated from human feces, and uses mucin as the only source of carbon and nitrogen. Mucin is a macromolecular glycoprotein secreted by intestinal epithelial goblet cells and is the main component of the intestinal mucosal mucus layer. The energy sources and environmental conditions required for the growth and reproduction of AKK bacteria are complex. It is necessary to clarify its absorption efficiency of various energy sources, integrate different nutritional configurations throughout the separation and screening processes, and match appropriate environmental conditions.

[0004] Chinese patent CN112342151A discloses an anaerobic culture method for Akkermansia muciniphila, wherein the mixed gas ratio used in the anaerobic culture is 85-94% N2, 5% H2, and 1-10% CO2, and the culture medium used is a modified BHI culture medium, wherein Mucin and Yeast Exctact are added to the modified BHI culture medium. The combination of the culture medium and culture conditions of the invention makes the growth and reproduction of Akk bacteria not limited by the height of the liquid level, and can grow well in a shake bottle or on a flat plate surface, thereby reducing the difficulty of culturing Akk bacteria, and at the same time reducing the growth rate of Akk bacteria from 3-4d in the prior art to 24-36h, greatly shortening the culture time, improving the activity of Akk bacteria and promoting the growth of Akk bacteria, which is of great significance to the expanded culture and in-depth research of Akk bacteria.

[0005] Chinese patent CN115975885A discloses a preparation of a culture medium for Akkermansia muciniphila using fish processing byproducts as a nitrogen source, wherein the raw materials are: brain heart infusion broth, L-cysteine ​​hydrochloride, fish processing byproduct hydrolyzate and water; the culture medium for Akkermansia muciniphila contains 1.5-2.5g of brain heart infusion broth, 0.01-0.05g of L-cysteine ​​hydrochloride and 0.05-2g of fish processing byproduct hydrolyzate per 60mL of water; the preparation method of the fish processing byproduct hydrolyzate comprises: crushing, sterilizing and removing fat from the fish processing byproducts, and then enzymolyzing them with alkaline protease and papain, filtering the enzymolysis products to obtain the fish processing byproduct hydrolyzate; the fish processing byproducts are silver carp processing byproducts. While reducing the cost of the culture medium, solving the waste of silver carp processing byproduct resources and the environmental pollution after the disposal of the silver carp processing byproducts, the culture efficiency of Akk bacteria can also be improved.

[0085] After the fermentation culture is completed, the number of viable bacteria in the fermentation broth is detected.

[0086] Example 4 Fermentation culture of AKK ONE

[0087] The only difference from Example 1 is that the strain used for fermentation culture is different, and the rest are the same. The strain used for fermentation culture in Example 4 is AKK ONE.

[0088] Comparative Example 1

[0089] Compared with Example 1, the only difference is that the high-density fermentation medium does not contain threonine, serine, aspartic acid and phenylalanine.

[0090] Comparative Example 2

[0091] Compared with Example 1, the only difference is that serine, aspartic acid and phenylalanine in the high-density fermentation medium are replaced by threonine.

[0092] Comparative Example 3

[0093] Compared with Example 1, the only difference is that the galacto-oligosaccharide in the high-density fermentation medium is replaced by glucose.

[0094] Comparative Example 4

[0095] Compared with Example 1, the only difference is that the concentrations of the components in the high-density fermentation medium are different. The high-density medium in Comparative Example 4 includes the following components:

[0096] Galacto-oligosaccharides 8g / L, maltose 5g / L, peptone 16g / L, beef extract 16g / L, yeast extract 10g / L, diammonium hydrogen citrate 5g / L, Tween 80 2.0mL / L, sodium acetate 10g / L, dipotassium hydrogen phosphate 5g / L, magnesium sulfate 1.0g / L, manganese sulfate 0.5g / L, threonine 2g / L, serine 3g / L, aspartic acid 1.0g / L and phenylalanine 0.2g / L.

[0097] Comparative Example 5

[0098] Compared with Example 1, the only difference is that no maltose is added to the feed medium, and the content of glucose is increased to 300 g / L.

[0099] Comparative Example 6

[0100] Compared with Example 1, the only difference is that maltose in the feed medium is replaced by an equal amount of fructose.

[0101] The number of viable bacteria in the fermentation broth of Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-6 was detected.

[0102] The results are shown in Table 1. The number of viable bacteria cultured using the fermentation medium of Example 1 was the highest, reaching 7.62×10 10CFU / mL. Threonine, serine, aspartic acid and phenylalanine were not added to the high-density fermentation medium (Comparative Example 1), and the number of viable fermentation bacteria decreased by 1 order of magnitude, which shows that the addition of threonine, serine, aspartic acid and phenylalanine to the culture medium has a significant growth-promoting effect on Akkermansia muciniphila. When only threonine was added to the high-density culture medium, or when oligosaccharides were replaced with glucose (Comparative Examples 2 and 3), the number of viable fermentation bacteria of Akkermansia muciniphila recovered to a certain extent, but the number of viable fermentation bacteria was still less than that in Example 1. When the concentrations of each component in the fermentation medium were adjusted outside the protection scope of the present invention (Comparative Example 4), the number of viable fermentation bacteria decreased by 1 order of magnitude, and the fermentation effect was far less than that in Example 1. When maltose was not added to the feed medium and the glucose content was increased to 300 g / L (Comparative Example 5), the number of viable fermentation bacteria was only about half of that in Example 1 due to the influence of the accumulation of metabolites; after maltose was replaced with an equal amount of fructose (Comparative Example 6), the number of viable fermentation bacteria was also poor due to the influence of the accumulation of metabolites.

[0103] Table 1

[0104] Experimental Group Viable bacteria count (CFU / mL) Example 1 <![CDATA[(7.62±0.32)×10 10 ]]> Example 2 <![CDATA[(5.85±0.12)×10 10 ]]> Example 3 <![CDATA[(6.12±0.16)×10 10 ]]> Example 4 <![CDATA[(7.03±0.22)×10 10 ]]> Comparative Example 1 <![CDATA[(5.30±0.27)×10 9 ]]> Comparative Example 2 <![CDATA[(2.58±0.08)×10 10 ]]> Comparative Example 3 <![CDATA[(3.16±0.15)×10 10 ]]> Comparative Example 4 <![CDATA[(8.10±0.18)×10 9 ]]> Comparative Example 5 <![CDATA[(3.14±0.26)×10 10 ]]> Comparative Example 6 <![CDATA[(3.64±0.30)×10 10 ]]>

[0105] After testing the OD600 during the fermentation process, the test results were consistent with the above conclusions: the addition of threonine, serine, aspartic acid and phenylalanine to the culture medium significantly promoted the growth of Akkermansia muciniphila, which was better than adding only one amino acid; when the oligosaccharide in the high-density fermentation medium was replaced with glucose or the concentration of each component was adjusted to outside the protection scope of the present invention, the fermentation effect was poor ( Figure 1 ).

[0106] Finally, it should be noted that the above content is only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, rather than to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Simple modifications or equivalent substitutions of the technical solution of the present invention by ordinary technicians in this field do not deviate from the essence and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
