Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field related to microbial detection, and specifically provides a selective culture medium for Fusarium and its use in aquatic product detection. Background Art

[0002] Fusarium disease is a common disease in aquaculture, especially in shrimp farming, and is considered the "number one killer" of farmed shrimp.

[0003] Fusarium grows quickly and can form colonies visible to the naked eye within a few days. The outbreak time is usually closely related to high temperature, high-density farming, poor water quality and improper feeding and management. There are many types of Fusarium, with more than 500 species reported so far. Some Fusarium can produce mycotoxins such as fumonisin, deoxynivalenol and zearalenone.

[0004] In recent years, studies have found that the harm of Fusarium to aquatic animals is becoming increasingly serious. Fusarium is widely present in water bodies, and aquatic animals are easily exposed to Fusarium. Fusarium spores or hyphae first need to attach to the body surface of aquatic animals, especially damaged skin or gills. Then they penetrate the damaged skin or gills mechanically, grow rapidly after invasion, form a hyphal network, further expand to the surrounding tissues and secrete a variety of enzymes to provide nutrients for the fungus. After the fungus takes root in the body of aquatic animals, it will produce various toxins, such as deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZEA). These toxins can directly damage the host's tissues, affect its physiological functions, and even cause death. It can also suppress the host's immune system by secreting effector proteins or other mechanisms, reduce its defense capabilities, and cause tissue damage, such as skin ulcers and fin rot, invade internal organs, and finally cause damage to organs such as the liver and kidneys.

[0005] In recent years, with the rapid development of molecular biology, the DNA of Fusarium in aquatic animals can be detected by designing specific primers. This is a sensitive and specific detection method. However, this method requires high equipment requirements and professional technicians to operate, which is not conducive to field detection in aquaculture. Microscopic observation method can be used to examine body tissues and identify the presence of Fusarium spores or hyphae, but this method may have certain errors. Summary of the invention

[0041] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the implementation scheme of the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with examples.

[0042] Preparation of nitrogen-free culture medium :

[0043] Table 1. Ingredients of nitrogen-free culture medium:

[0044] Preparation of selective culture medium :

[0045] Table 2, ingredients of selective culture medium of Preparation Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4:

[0046] The method for preparing the selective culture medium comprises the following steps: sterilizing the basic culture medium at high temperature and high pressure at 116°C (specifically 116°C) for 30 minutes; when the basic culture medium is cooled to below 50°C, adding streptomycin, chloramphenicol and cephalosporin to obtain a selective culture medium.

[0047] Cultivation of Fusarium :

[0048] Select Fusarium nivalis, Fusarium moniliforme and Fusarium graminearum for cultivation. Specific cultivation method: Inoculate Fusarium nivalis, Fusarium moniliforme and Fusarium graminearum into 5 mL of PDB medium respectively, and culture at 28°C and 150 rpm for 24 hours, aspirate 1 mL of fermentation liquid and place it in a 2 mL centrifuge tube, shake it thoroughly to obtain a spore suspension. Aspirate 2 μL of the spore suspension of each Fusarium and inoculate it into the same selective culture medium, incubate it at 28°C for 2 to 3 days, and observe whether Fusarium nivalis, Fusarium moniliforme and Fusarium graminearum can grow normally in the selective culture medium. The observation results are as follows: Figures 1 to 3 shown.

[0049] from Figures 1 to 3 It can be seen that Fusarium nivalis, Fusarium moniliforme and Fusarium graminearum can all grow normally in the selective culture medium of Preparation Example 2, Preparation Comparative Example 2 and Preparation Comparative Example 4, but the colony sizes are slightly different.

[0050] Methods and validation for detecting Fusarium in aquatic products :

[0051] The method for detecting Fusarium in aquatic products specifically comprises the following steps: Step S1, selecting shrimp infected with Fusarium wilt as experimental samples, mixing and grinding the gill filaments and cephalothorax of the shrimp with sterile water to obtain a sample to be tested; Step S2, taking 100 μL of the test solution and applying it to a selective culture medium, culturing at 28° C. for 60 hours to obtain colonies; Step S3: observing the morphological characteristics of spores in the colony under a microscope to determine whether the aquatic product is infected with Fusarium.

[0052] Verification of Fusarium: white hyphae in the colony were picked and inoculated into PDB medium for culture; the fungus was collected and DNA was extracted using a fungal genomic DNA extraction kit (model R33123, purchased from Shanghai Yuanye Biotechnology Co., Ltd.); based on the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) amplicon sequencing method, the colony was identified as a Fusarium colony.

[0053] Amplification system: 1 μL DNA template, 25 μL Taq enzyme, 1 μL primer ITS1 (5'-TCCGTAGGTGAACCTGCGG-3'), 1 μL primer ITS4 (5'-TCCTCCGCTTATTGATATGC-3'), and make up to 50 μL with sterile water.

[0054] Amplification program: pre-denaturation at 95°C for 3 min, (denaturation at 95°C for 30 s, annealing at 55°C for 30 s, extension at 72°C for 1 min) 30 cycles, extension for 5 min, and storage at 4°C.

[0055] Sequencing method: Sanger sequencing.

[0056] Table 3. Selective culture results of Fusarium in experimental samples and identification results of ITS amplicon sequencing method:

[0057] As can be seen from Table 3, the present application utilizes a selective culture medium to selectively culture Fusarium, and then determines whether the experimental sample contains Fusarium based on the morphological characteristics of the colonies. This method is not only simple and easy to operate, but also highly accurate.

[0058] By comparing Preparation Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Preparation Example 4, it can be seen that the Fusarium in the experimental sample cannot grow normally in the basic culture medium containing a nitrogen source; thus, it is shown that the basic culture medium containing a nitrogen source cannot be used for selective cultivation of Fusarium. Further, by comparing Examples 1 to 3, it can be seen that the addition of potassium dihydrogen phosphate in the nitrogen-free culture medium and the amount of addition can further affect the accuracy of the selective culture medium of the present application.

[0059] By comparing Preparation Example 2 with Comparative Preparation Examples 1 to 3, it can be seen that the combination of "streptomycin, chloramphenicol and cephalosporin" used in the present application can significantly improve the accuracy of the selective culture medium of the present application.

[0060] The above is a detailed introduction to a selective culture medium for Fusarium provided by the present application and its use in aquatic product detection. This article uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method of the present application and its core idea. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the principles of the present application, several improvements and modifications can be made to the present application, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present application.
