[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and examples. The following examples are only for illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0027] Example 1
[0028] Screening of Paenibacillus elgii Z121, the strain producing permetin A
[0029] Soil samples were collected from Lanfeng Forest Farm in Rongchang. After mixing, 5 g of the soil sample was dissolved in 50 mL of sterile physiological saline, shaken at room temperature for 30 min, settled for 2 - 3 min, and then used as a standby. 0.5 mL of the supernatant of the soil eluate was diluted in 4.5 mL of sterile physiological saline and serially diluted 10-fold, diluted 10 4 / 5 times. Using Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213 as the indicator bacterium, an indicator bacterium plate was prepared. 100 μL of the soil dilution was spread and cultured at 37 °C. A single colony with an inhibition zone was found ( Figure 1 ). The single colony was picked out and streaked on an NB plate for isolation. A single colony was picked from the isolated and purified plate, inoculated into 5 ml of NB culture medium, and cultured in a test tube at 37 °C and 200 rpm / min until the culture medium became turbid. The bacterial cells were collected by centrifugation, and the strain was preserved by resuspending the bacterial cells with glycerol at a final concentration of 25% and NB culture medium, named Z121.
[0030] Z121 was cultured in NB at 33 °C / 180 rpm until the stationary phase. An appropriate amount of bacterial cells was collected. The genomic DNA of the sample was extracted by the SDS method. Then, the purity and integrity of the DNA were detected by agarose gel electrophoresis, and quantitative analysis was performed using Qubit. The qualified DNA sample by electrophoresis was randomly fragmented into fragments with a length of about 350 bp using a Covaris ultrasonic disruptor. After the treatment of the DNA fragments, the Ultra TM DNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina (NEB, USA) was used. The entire library construction was completed through steps such as end repair, adding A-tail, adding sequencing adapters, purification, and PCR amplification. The library was first preliminarily quantified using Qubit 2.0, and the library was diluted to 2 ng / μL. Subsequently, Agilent 2100 was used to detect the inserted fragments of the library. After the insert size met the expectations, the Q-PCR method was used to accurately quantify the effective concentration of the library to ensure the library quality. After passing the library inspection, different libraries were sequenced on an Illumina NovaSeq PE150 according to the effective concentration and the target output data volume, and NR (Non-Redundant Protein Database) annotation was performed. It was found that Z121 belongs to Paenibacillus elgii ( Figure 2 ), and the preservation number is CGMCC No. 19830.

[0033] The fermentation broth of Paenibacillus ehimensis Z121 was centrifuged at 4 °C and 8000 g for 30 min, and the obtained supernatant was freeze-dried to obtain a freeze-dried powder. Immunomodulatory peptides were extracted according to the ratio of 1 g of the freeze-dried supernatant powder to 5 mL of acetonitrile. The acetonitrile after extraction was removed in a rotary evaporator to obtain a crude extract of permetin A. The crude extract was dissolved in ultrapure water and diluted to a solution of 200 mg / mL for high performance liquid chromatography separation and purification.
[0034] 2) High performance liquid separation and purification of Permetin A
[0035] The above 200 mg / mL solution was filtered through a 0.22 μm filter membrane and then separated and purified by preparative reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography. The chromatographic column was a C18 (10×250 mm) reverse phase column, and the instrument parameters were set as follows: detection wavelength 220 nm; column temperature 25 °C; flow rate 5 mL / min; mobile phase A: ultrapure water + 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid, mobile phase B: acetonitrile + 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid. The elution conditions of the purification mobile phase are shown in Table 1. Figure 3 The chromatographic peak corresponding to lipopeptide Permetin A is numbered 51. The fractions corresponding to the chromatographic peak were collected and freeze-dried to obtain a single product of lipopeptide Permetin A. The purity was detected by high performance liquid chromatography, and the results were as Figure 4 . Each sample injection was 500 μL, and the instrument automatically collected the fractions into glass test tubes according to the set fraction collection trigger conditions. The collected fractions were evaporated to remove acetonitrile in a rotary evaporator and then freeze-dried to obtain a pure product of lipopeptide Permetin A. The pure product was dissolved in ultrapure water for high performance liquid chromatography purity detection. The molecular formula of the lipopeptide Permetin A compound obtained by mass spectrometry detection is C 54 H 92 O 12 N 12 The structural formula is It was found by high performance liquid chromatography detection that the purity of the single product of lipopeptide Permetin A prepared by high performance liquid chromatography was 98.31%.
