Abstract
Description
(1) Technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a strain of Janus citrinum with sulfamethoxazole degradation ability and application thereof. (2) Background technology
[0002] Sulfonamide antibiotics are a class of synthetic antibacterial drugs, a general term for antibiotic substances containing aminobenzenesulfonamide in their molecular structure. Sulfamethoxazole, a typical sulfonamide antibiotic, has a broad antibacterial spectrum and potent antibacterial activity, particularly against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. It is commonly used to treat respiratory, urinary, and intestinal infections.
[0003] The widespread use of sulfamethoxazole has drawn widespread attention due to its low bioavailability, difficulty degrading in aquatic environments, and potential toxicity to aquatic animals. Studies have shown that sulfamethoxazole may affect the growth and development of zebrafish. Furthermore, it may cause various negative impacts on human health, such as skeletal deformities, liver damage, and gastrointestinal problems. Long-term consumption of water and aquatic products containing sulfamethoxazole may pose teratogenic and mutagenic risks. Residual sulfamethoxazole in the aquatic environment poses a serious threat to ecological balance, human health, and drinking water safety.
[0004] Therefore, studying the efficient degradation of sulfamethoxazole in the environment is of great significance to the ecological environment and human health. Literature search shows that there is no report on the lemon Janus. (3) Summary of the invention

[0034] Example 1: Isolation, purification and identification of strain YDW.
[0035] 1. Isolation and purification of strain YDW.
[0036] Strain YDW is a Gram-positive bacterium domesticated and isolated from activated sludge from a sewage treatment plant. The specific steps are as follows:
[0037] Add 100 mL of inorganic salt culture medium to a 300 mL shake flask, add 10 mL of activated sludge and 50 mg / L of sulfamethoxazole for enrichment culture. When the sulfamethoxazole concentration is 50% of the initial concentration, take out 5 mL of the enrichment solution and add it to 100 mL of fresh inorganic salt culture medium. Add the same concentration of sulfamethoxazole. Repeat the above enrichment process 5 times. Then, the last enrichment solution is gradiently diluted and applied to LB solid medium. Single colonies are selected for isolation and plate drawing for purification ( Figure 1 The obtained candidate bacteria were added to the inorganic salt culture medium and sulfamethoxazole was added for verification. The strains with certain degradation effects were selected and the additional carbon source glucose was added for enhanced degradation. The target strain YDW was obtained and its morphology was determined by transmission electron microscopy ( Figure 2 ).
[0038] 2. Identification of strain YDW
[0039] (1) Characteristics of strain YDW: The colonies are yellow or light yellow, disc-shaped, with neat edges, opaque, and easy to pick. Transmission electron microscopy revealed an ellipsoidal morphology, lacking flagella, and exhibiting Gram-positive staining.
[0040] (2) Identification through 16S rRNA sequence analysis and physiological and biochemical experiments
[0041] Genomic DNA from strain YDW was extracted and purified using a nucleic acid reagent (PrepMan Ultra Kits Nucleic Acid Extraction Reagent (ThermoFisher)) and stored at 4°C. PCR amplification was performed on the purified DNA using universal bacterial primers: forward primer (27F): 5'-AGAGTTTGATCCTGGCTCAG-3'; reverse primer (1492R): 5'-GGTTACCTTGTTACGACTT-3'. The PCR reaction program was set as 94°C for 4 min, followed by 30 cycles of denaturation at 94°C for 45 s, annealing at 55°C for 45 s, and extension at 72°C for 1 min, followed by a final repair and extension at 72°C for 10 min. The PCR product was purified and sequenced (Zhejiang Tianke High-Tech Development Co., Ltd. (formerly Zhejiang Institute of Microbiology)). The 16S rRNA sequencing results were uploaded to NCBI and obtained accession number PQ517017. The sequences were then compared with the gene sequences in the NCBI database by blast. It was found to belong to the genus Janibacter and had 99.78% similarity with Janibacter melonis. Ten representative strains were selected from the results and a phylogenetic tree was constructed using MEGA7.0 software based on 16S rRNA gene sequence homology. Figure 3 The strain was identified as Janibacter melonis by comparison of genetic distance and 16S rRNA sequence.
[0042] (3) The ability of strain YDW to utilize 43 carbon sources on the BioMérieux GP card.
[0043] The metabolism of strain YDW on 43 different carbon sources was investigated using a Mérieux automated identification instrument (commissioned to Zhejiang Tianke High-Tech Development Co., Ltd. (formerly Zhejiang Provincial Institute of Microbiology)). The results are shown in Table 1. Biochemical reactions using the Mérieux automated identification instrument VITEK revealed that strain YDW could efficiently utilize six carbon sources but was unable to utilize the remaining 37.

[0049] Example 2: Obtaining resting cells of Janus citrinum YDW
[0050] 1. Slant culture:
[0051] Inoculate Janus citrinum YDW into LB liquid culture medium and culture at 30°C, 160 rpm for 24-36 hours. Then, streak the activated bacteria on a solid LB plate and culture in a 30°C incubator. Take a single colony and continue streaking on the plate to test the purity of the bacteria. Store them on a conventional LB test tube slant (4°C).
[0052] 2. Expand training
[0053] Inoculate the slant bacteria in step 1 into LB liquid medium and culture at 30°C, 160 rpm for 24-36 h to obtain the OD 600 = 0.1-0.2 bacterial liquid, centrifuge, collect wet bacteria, wash with inorganic salt culture solution, and obtain lemon Janus YDW resting cells.
[0054] Example 3: Degradation performance of Janus citrinum YDW on sulfamethoxazole at different concentrations.
[0055] The inorganic salt culture solution was divided into 300 mL shaking flasks, 100 mL per bottle, and sterilized at 110°C for 40 minutes. After sterilization, it was placed at room temperature for 2 days to ensure that no foreign bacteria grew. The resting cells obtained by the method of Example 2 were added to a final concentration of 50 mg / L (based on cell dry weight), and then 1 g / L glucose and sulfamethoxazole were added as carbon sources to make their final concentrations of 10, 20, 40, 50, 100, and 175 mg / L, respectively. After the shaking flasks were sealed, they were cultured in a shaking table at 30°C and 160 rpm, and a blank control without bacteria was performed. The residual sulfamethoxazole concentration in the shaking flask was measured on time every day, and a curve of the residual rate of sulfamethoxazole with different initial concentrations of the strains over time was drawn. The results are shown in the figure. Figure 4The results showed that when the concentration of sulfamethoxazole was lower than 20 mg / L, strain YDW could quickly degrade all added substrates.
[0056] The concentration of sulfamethoxazole was determined by a Waters e2695 high performance liquid chromatograph. The liquid chromatography column parameters were: Agilent StableBond Analytical (4.6×250 mm), the mobile phase was 0.1% acetic acid in water: acetonitrile (v:v=40:60), the detection wavelength was: 264 nm, and the flow rate was: 1.0 mL·min -1 , column temperature: 30℃; injection volume: 20μL, injection time: 5min.
[0057] Example 4: Degradation performance of Janus citrinum YDW on 50 mg / L sulfamethoxazole under different initial pH conditions.
[0058] The inorganic salt culture medium was adjusted to different pH values (4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0) with a 1 mol / L NaOH aqueous solution or a 1 mol / L HCl aqueous solution. Under the condition that the initial sulfamethoxazole concentration was 50 mg / L, 1 g / L sterile glucose was added and the bacterial solution prepared by the method of Example 2 was inoculated so that the initial bacterial solution concentration in each parallel sample was 50 mg / L based on the dry cell weight. The sample was shaken and cultured in a constant temperature shaker at 30°C and 160 rpm, and a blank control without bacteria was performed. The residual sulfamethoxazole concentration in the shake flask was measured every day, and a curve of the residual rate of sulfamethoxazole over time was drawn under different pH environments of the strain. The results are shown in FIG. Figure 5 The results showed that under neutral and slightly acidic conditions, YDW could effectively degrade sulfamethoxazole, and the degradation effect of sulfamethoxazole was the best at pH 6.0 and 7.0.
[0059] Cell dry weight and OD 600 Determination method: Inoculate Janus citrinum YDW into sterile culture medium and culture until the logarithmic growth phase. Take a certain volume of the cell culture medium in the logarithmic growth phase, transfer it to a sterile centrifuge tube, centrifuge, discard the supernatant, and resuspend the cell pellet in an appropriate amount of sterile saline to prepare a cell suspension. Pipette an appropriate amount of the prepared cell suspension and measure its OD using a visible spectrophotometer. 600 Dilute the cell suspension appropriately and measure the OD at the dilution again. 600Value, each dilution is repeated 3 times, and the average value is taken. Take a certain volume of the above cell suspension and transfer it to a pre-weighed sterile centrifuge tube with a mass of m1, centrifuge it, let the cells precipitate at the bottom of the centrifuge tube, carefully discard the supernatant, and then slowly add an appropriate amount of ultrapure water to the centrifuge tube, shake to disperse the cells, centrifuge again and discard the supernatant, repeat the operation 2-3 times to remove impurities such as culture medium components remaining on the cell surface. Then place the centrifuge tube (containing cell sediment) in a drying oven, set the appropriate temperature to 80°C, and dry it until the centrifuge tube and the cell sediment therein reach a constant weight (the difference between two adjacent weighings is ±0.1mg), and record the final mass as m2. Cell dry weight (mg / L) = (m2-m1) / sampling volume (L). According to this method, different OD 600 The cell suspension corresponding to the value was used to measure the cell dry weight. 600 The value is the horizontal axis, the cell dry weight value (mg / L) is the vertical axis, and the OD value corresponding to each dilution of the cell suspension is measured. 600 The values (average) and the calculated corresponding cell dry weight values are plotted. The results are shown in Figure 6 shown.
