Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of gene chips and microorganisms, and particularly relates to a probe combination, a gene chip, a kit and a method for detecting Aphanizomenon flos-aquae. Background Art
[0002] Aphanizomenon Aphanizomenon ) is a freshwater floating filamentous algae belonging to the family Nostocaceae of the order Nostocales of the phylum Cyanobacteria. Their most obvious feature is that the terminal cells of the filaments taper or become hair-like, extending into colorless cells. Aphanizomenon can form algal blooms in freshwater bodies, also known as cyanobacterial blooms, which have caused many environmental problems. In certain seasons in some lakes, Aphanizomenon blooms and Microcystis blooms will compete and erupt alternately, forming a unique cyanobacterial bloom phenomenon. Some species of the genus Aphanizomenon may produce toxins, such as Aphanizomenon blooms ( A. water-flower )、Acanthosiphon gracilis( A. slender ) and Aphanizomenon elsa A. issatschenkoi ) can produce paralytic shellfish toxins, which harm aquatic animals and can endanger human health through the food chain.
[0003] In my country's freshwater bodies, the species of Aphanizomenon include Aphanizomenon bloom-water, Aphanizomenon tenuissima and Aphanizomenon yisha, among which Aphanizomenon bloom-water is the most common. Aphanizomenon bloom-water is widely distributed in the world, mainly in freshwater. Its morphological characteristics are mainly manifested in straight or slightly curved algae filaments, single or connected to the sides of the algae filaments in bundles. The cells in the middle of the algae filaments are short cylindrical, more or less square, with pseudovacuoles. The terminal cells become more or less tapered and elongated into colorless cells. The gelatin sheath is unclear. Heteromorphic cells grow intercellularly, in various shapes, cylindrical, nearly spherical, and elliptical. Aphanizomenon bloom-water has a planktonic life and can reproduce in large numbers. Under certain conditions, it can form dense water blooms, which may cause water quality problems and ecological impacts.
[0004] At present, the identification and classification methods of Aphanizomenon are mainly based on traditional morphological detection. However, due to the diverse and variable morphology of the genus Aphanizomenon and the lack of obvious differences between the genus and other cyanobacteria such as Anabaena, it is often difficult to distinguish and identify based on the simple external morphology and subtle differences in internal physiological structure and high phenotypic plasticity, which makes the classification and identification of this genus face great challenges. Conventional detection methods of Aphanizomenon mainly include microscopic observation, biomass determination and pigment analysis. Although traditional methods have accumulated a lot of experience and data in classification and identification, they also have obvious limitations. For example, the method of observation with a microscope is time-consuming, requires professional knowledge and operating experience, and its accuracy is easily affected by subjective factors. Methods such as biomass determination and pigment analysis can only give more general or indirect evaluation results, and the resolution of detection and identification is insufficient, and it is impossible to specifically distinguish species or even strains, and it is impossible to perform accurate quantification. Molecular biological methods have also been used to study Aphanizomenon, but the research direction is more inclined to the detection and identification of cyanobacterial toxins and toxin-producing genes. For example, the composition and content of Aphanizomenon toxins can be determined by high performance liquid chromatography, or a certain gene fragment of microcystin can be amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). For the assessment of the degree of water pollution, the quantitative and qualitative analysis of algae and the toxins produced by algae are equally worthy of attention. Aphanizomenon is the main microalgae in the outbreak of cyanobacteria, so it is necessary to develop faster and more accurate qualitative and quantitative methods for it. Summary of the invention

[0007] In some embodiments of the present invention, the Aphanizomenon flos-aquae is Aphanizomenon flos- water 2012 / KM1 / D3, Aphanizomenon-flowers-waters FACHB-1040, Aphanizomenon flos- water FACHB-1290, Aphanizomenon water-flower FACHB-1416, Aphanizomenon flos- water LD13, Aphanizomenon water-flower MDT14a, Aphanizomenon water-flower NIES-81 and Aphanizomenon water-flower At least one of WA102 is a target detection of Aphanizomenon, and the probe combination includes all probes in the probe group of the target detection of Aphanizomenon.
[0008] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the probe combination is a mixture of multiple probe groups; in some specific embodiments, the probe combination includes probe groups corresponding to the detection of 1, 2, 3...8 detection targets; in a preferred specific embodiment, the probe combination includes probes for all 8 detection targets, and contains all 99 probes of the detection probes corresponding to the detection of Aphanizomenon bloom-aquae, and can detect the above-mentioned Aphanizomenon bloom-aquae simultaneously. The probe is a specific probe that only binds to the target Aphanizomenon bloom-aquae DNA sequence and does not bind to any other Aphanizomenon bloom-aquae DNA sequence; the probe design steps include preliminary screening of specific probes, sensitivity screening of oligonucleotide fragments, and consistency screening of physical and chemical properties.
[0009] The present invention also provides the use of the probe combination described in the first aspect in preparing a gene chip or a kit for detecting Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, wherein the detection targets of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae include Aphanizomenon flos- water 2012 / KM1 / D3, Aphanizomenon-flowers-waters FACHB-1040, Aphanizomenon flos- water FACHB-1290, Aphanizomenon water-flower FACHB-1416, Aphanizomenon flos- water LD13, Aphanizomenon water-flower MDT14a, Aphanizomenon water-flower NIES-81 and Aphanizomenon water-flowerThere are 8 detection targets such as WA102, and the detection targets may include one, multiple or all of them. The corresponding probe combination includes all probes in the probe group corresponding to the detection target.
[0010] For example, when the target detection is Aphanizomenon Aphanizomenon water-flower FACHB-1416, the probe combination includes detection Aphanizomenon water-flower The probe set of FACHB-1416, the sequences are all the probes shown in SED ID NOs. 38 to 50; when the target detection is Aphanizomenon Aphanizomenon water-flower 2012 / KM1 / D3, Aphanizomenon water-flower FACHB-1290, Aphanizomenon water-flower WA102, the probe combination includes detection Aphanizomenon water-flower 2012 / KM1 / D3, Aphanizomenon flos- water FACHB-1290 and Aphanizomenon water-flower All probes in the probe set of WA102 include sequences shown in SEDID NOs. 1 to 12, sequences shown in SED ID NOs. 26 to 37, and sequences shown in SED ID NOs. 88 to 99.
[0011] The detection results of the designed Aphanizomenon were judged according to the fluorescence signal intensity of the strain-specific probe group and the proportion of the dominant fluorescent probe to all probes.
[0012] The second aspect of the present invention provides a gene chip for detecting Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, comprising the probe combination described in the first aspect.
[0013] The third aspect of the present invention provides a kit for detecting Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, wherein the kit comprises the probe combination described in the first aspect or the gene chip described in the second aspect.
[0014] In some embodiments of the present invention, the kit further comprises a DNA extraction reagent for the sample to be tested, a DNA purification reagent, and a DNA fluorescent labeling reagent.
[0015] A fourth aspect of the present invention provides a method for detecting Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, comprising the following steps: (1) Filter the water sample to be tested, collect the filtered particles and complete DNA extraction; the extracted DNA is sheared and purified to obtain gDNA; (2) diluting the gDNA obtained in step (1) to a fixed concentration, performing PCR using random primers and ATCG bases with fluorescent groups to obtain gDNA sequences with fluorescent groups; (3) performing a hybridization experiment on the fluorescently labeled gDNA obtained in (2) and the chip according to claim 3 in a hybridization oven; (4) Scanning and imaging the hybridization experiment results of (3), and judging the detection results of the designed Aphanizomenon according to the fluorescence signal intensity of the strain-specific probe group and the proportion of the dominant fluorescent probe to all probes; wherein the Aphanizomenon bloom-water algae includes Aphanizomenon water-flower 2012 / KM1 / D3, Aphanizomenon-flowers-waters FACHB-1040, Aphanizomenon water-flower FACHB-1290, Aphanizomenon water-flower FACHB-1416, Aphanizomenon water-flower LD13, Aphanizomenon water-flower MDT14a, Aphanizomenon flower-water NIES-81 and Aphanizomenon flos-aquae WA102.
[0016] In some embodiments of the present invention, the probe positivity threshold is 300, that is, when the fluorescence signal intensity is greater than 300, it indicates that the probe is detected; the strain probe group positivity rate threshold is 70%, that is, when more than 70% of the probes in the strain probe group are detected, it indicates that the strain is detected.
[0017] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the DNA extraction, fragmentation and purification in step (1), the fluorescent labeling in step (2) and the hybridization in step (3) can be performed using conventional methods or kits in the art.
[0018] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the hybridization experiment results in step (5) are read by scanning the chip using a laser scanner. The fluorescently labeled probe area will emit light of a specific wavelength, which will be captured by the scanner. Finally, the scanned image data will be converted into digital signals.
[0019] Further, the data signals were screened and the species detection of Aphanizomenon was determined: the microarray data was preprocessed to eliminate systematic differences between samples and filter out false positive detections. First, the raw signal intensity was corrected by subtracting the background intensity from the foreground intensity of the probe for background correction. Next, the probe signal intensity was normalized using the background correction data as the input matrix. The purpose was to adjust the overall signal intensity between different samples to ensure that they were comparable. In order to reduce false positives, the probe detection rate of each species also needs to be calculated. The probe detection rate is defined as the number of probes detected for a species divided by the number of all designed probes for that species. If the probe detection rate of a species is greater than the set ratio threshold, it is classified as positive to ensure that only true positive results are considered.
[0020] In the present invention, the sample to be tested may come from any water source, including but not limited to any flowing or non-flowing water source such as rivers, streams, creeks, seas, lakes, reservoirs, ponds, etc.
[0021] Beneficial effects of the present invention Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. At present, the identification and classification of Aphanizomenon still remains in the morphological detection method, but due to the diverse and changeable morphology of the genus Aphanizomenon and the lack of obvious differences between the genus and other cyanobacteria such as Anabaena, it is difficult to distinguish and identify it based on simple external morphology and internal physiological structure. The present invention establishes a specific probe detection based on the whole genome range for Aphanizomenon in water, filling the gap in related detection technology.
[0022] 2. The present invention utilizes gene chip technology to design species / strain-specific probes within the entire genome, which can simultaneously detect strains of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae in 8 water bodies, and has higher resolution and sensitivity than other PCR methods.
[0023] 3. The present invention has the advantage of simple operation. Compared with the detection method based on sequencing, it omits the steps of PCR and sequencing of the target area, and the data processing is simpler and more convenient. This high-throughput, high-resolution and convenient detection method has important application value for the long-term dynamic monitoring of water quality deterioration caused by Aphanizomenon, and can guide algal bloom control and water ecological restoration.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] The following examples are used to demonstrate preferred embodiments of the present invention. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the techniques disclosed in the following examples represent techniques discovered by the inventors that can be used to implement the present invention and therefore can be considered as preferred embodiments of the present invention. However, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art based on this specification that many modifications may be made to the specific embodiments disclosed herein and still achieve the same or similar results without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.
[0026] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the invention belongs, and the materials cited herein and those cited by them are incorporated by reference. Those skilled in the art will recognize or will learn through routine experimentation that there are many equivalents to the specific embodiments of the invention described herein. Such equivalents are intended to be encompassed by the claims.
[0027] The technical solution of the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.
[0028] Example 1 Screening of specific probes for Aphanizomenon flos-aquae and preparation of chip 1. Dataset collection: In order to screen specific probes for Aphanizomenon bloom-aquae strains, the main data prepared include two parts, the target strain genome sequence and the background genome sequence. Here we use the genomes of 8 species of Aphanizomenon bloom-aquae as the target sequence, and all other cyanobacterial genome sequences collected in the public database are set as the background sequence. The genome information used to design the Aphanizomenon bloom-aquae strain is shown in Table 1.
[0029] Table 1 Genomic information used to design Aphanizomenon flos-aquae strains
[0030] 2. Preliminary selection of specific probes for Aphanizomenon flos-aquae strains The target Aphanizomenon genome sequence is completely broken into Kmer fragments of 50mer length, and a background sequence Kmer fragment hash library is established to record the frequency of occurrence of Kmer and the information of the strain to which it belongs. Then a Kmer fragment hash library of the genome sequence is established. The target sequence Kmer library is compared and analyzed with the background sequence Kmer library, and the Kmer that only exists in the target sequence Kmer library but not in the background sequence Kmer library is selected as the alternative specific probe library of the strain.
[0031] 3. Elimination of potential non-specific binding probes from candidate specific probes Studies have shown that if the probe has more than 20 consecutive base matches with the non-target sequence, potential non-specific binding may occur. Using the NCBI Blast program, the candidate specific probes were aligned with the background Kmer library. Based on the alignment results, the candidate specific probes that had more than 20 consecutive base matches with the background Kmer were removed.
[0032] 4. Screening of probe physical and chemical properties The strain-specific probes obtained after the previous step are unique in the genome of the strain and do not match more than 20 consecutive bases with the genomes of other species. The remaining specific probes are then screened for physical and chemical properties. The main conditions include: (1) The free energy of nucleic acid between the probe sequence and the target sequence (unit: kcal / mol). If the free energy of nucleic acid is less than -30, the probe sequence is removed. (2)If the continuous identical bases of the probe appear 5 times, then the complexity of this probe is too low, and this probe sequence is removed; (3)Finally screen the strain-specific probes according to the melting temperature Tm value (65 < Tm < 95) and GC content (0.2 < GC content < 0.8).
[0033] Finally, 99 strain-specific probes of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae distributed throughout the genome were screened out, and the specific probes are shown as SED ID NO.1 - SED ID NO.99. The information of the strain-specific probes of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae is shown in Table 2.

[0087] Example 3 Detection specificity test of the chip for Aphanizomenon Specific detection means that the presence of the target strain in the water sample can be detected specifically. In order to test the specific detection effect of the probe and chip we designed, we used the method of the present invention to detect the specific bacterial liquid of Aphanizomenon within the detection range, compared the consistency between the test results and the experimental selected combination design, and analyzed the false positive and false negative ratios of the test results. The experiment set the probe positive threshold to 300, that is, when the fluorescence signal intensity is greater than 300, it means that the probe is detected; the strain probe group positive rate threshold is 70%, that is, when the strain probe detection rate is above 70%, it means that the strain is detected.
[0088] Two groups of specific experiments were designed in this example: Specificity experiment 1: only contains Aphanizomenon flos-aquae FACHB-1416 A body of water containing Aphanizomenon flos-aquae.
[0089] Specificity experiment 2: only contains Aphanizomenon flos-aquae MDT14a A body of water containing Aphanizomenon flos-aquae.
[0090] Test results such as Figure 2 shown.
[0091] In experiment 1, the strain Aphanizomenon flos-aquae FACHB-1416 Among the 12 probes in the probe group, the fluorescence signal intensity of 11 probes is greater than the probe positive threshold of 300, indicating that 11 probes in the probe group are detected, and the fluorescence signal intensity of the other probe is lower than 300, indicating that the probe is not detected. Therefore, the positive rate of the probe group is 91.7%, which exceeds the probe group positive rate threshold of 70% for judging the strain detection, indicating that the strain Aphanizomenon flos-aquae FACHB-1416 The probe group signals of the other strains that were not added were relatively low, lower than our probe positive threshold and probe group positive rate threshold.
[0092] In Experiment 2, we only added Aphanizomenon flos-aquae MDT14a The results showed that the fluorescence signal values of all probes in the probe set of the target strain exceeded 300, that is, all probes were detected, and the probe detection rate was 100%, indicating that the strain was successfully detected, while the probe signals of the other 7 unadded Aphanizomenon probe sets were all below 300, and none of them passed the probe set positive rate threshold. In addition, the false positive and false negative rates of this experiment were both 0.
[0093] The results confirmed that the method of the present invention has a reliable detection effect at the level of Aphanizomenon strains.
[0094] Example 4 Detection and analysis of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae in water samples from the wild environment Five water samples from the wild environment were selected: sample_1-sample_5, and the Aphanizomenon bloom-water detection chip of the present invention was used to investigate and analyze the Aphanizomenon bloom-water in the samples according to the method of Example 2.
[0095] The survey and analysis results are as follows Figure 3 shown.
[0096] The results showed that the most strains of Aphanizomenon bloom-aquae were detected in sample_2, followed by sample_3, while sample_4 had the least number of Aphanizomenon bloom-aquae. Overall, the detection results of the five samples showed that the probe designed in the present invention could detect all eight common Aphanizomenon bloom-aquae.
[0097] The results confirmed that the present invention can successfully detect the strain types of Aphanizomenon bloom-aquae contained in water bodies in practical applications. When these eight strains of Aphanizomenon bloom-aquae exist simultaneously in a certain water body, they can be detected simultaneously by using the DNA chip of the present invention.
