It can be seen from the experimental results that the effect of adding 18 g / L glucose + 15 g / L lactose is the best, which makes the growth of Clostridium perfringens ( Anaerostipes caccae ) reach a relatively high level at 18 h and continue to grow steadily until 26 h; followed by the medium with 33 g / L glucose added, which makes the growth of Clostridium perfringens ( Anaerostipes caccae ) reach a relatively high level at 18 h, and then gradually stabilizes, with only a slight decline in growth at 26 h; again, the media with 13 g / L glucose + 20 g / L lactose and 23 g / L glucose + 10 g / L lactose added, although the growth is relatively slow in the initial stage (18 h), but the cell growth also reaches a relatively high level in the later stage (26 h); the worst is the medium with 30 g / L lactose added, which is basically stable at OD 600 around 4.0 after 18 h, but there is a slight decline in the later stage.

Example 3 Screening of prebiotics

[0029] In order to investigate the effect of N-acetylglucosamine on the growth of the cells, 5 media were prepared according to the formulas and concentrations in Table 5 and sterilized at 121 °C under high pressure for 15 minutes. 300 μL of Clostridium perfringens ( Anaerostipes caccae ) were respectively inoculated into the above 5 media and cultured at 37 °C for 20 h in an anaerobic workstation, and the OD 600 values were measured at different times to obtain the results shown in Figure 3 .

[0031] Using Formula 26 to conduct high-density aseptic culture of Clostridium perfringens ( Anaerostipes caccae ) in a 5 L fermenter and detecting its viable cell count. The specific operations are as follows: Take 300 μL of Clostridium perfringens ( Anaerostipes caccae ) and inoculate it into 300 mL of the medium with Formula 26, and place it in an anaerobic workstation for primary seed culture. After culturing for 12 h, measure the OD 600When it reaches 2.5, end the cultivation. After examining under the microscope and finding no contaminants, prepare for fermentation in the fermenter.

[0032] Sterilize the fermenter containing 3 L of Medium 26. Introduce nitrogen gas, and pour the above-mentioned qualified seed culture solution into the fermenter under the protection of the inoculation loop flame. Keep the pressure and ferment in a sealed tank. Set the fermentation parameters: fermentation temperature 37 °C, constant pH 6.5 (adjusted with 10% ammonia water), stirring speed 100 rpm, and start the cultivation.

[0033] During the fermentation process, take samples for measurement every 2 h to monitor the off-line pH, sugar content (add 50% glucose when there is no white foam), OD 600 value, etc. The fermenter during the cultivation is as Figure 4 shown. When fermenting for 9 h, measure the biomass OD 600 and when the growth is gentle, empty the tank.

[0034] Use the viable count method to detect the viable bacteria count in the emptied tank. Dilute the bacteria solution in the emptied tank (diluted test solution) with normal saline. Take 100 μL of the diluted test solutions at three gradients of 10 -6 , 10 -7 , 10 -8 respectively, and evenly spread them on the surface of GAM agar medium (purchased from Qingdao Haibo, product number HB8518-1) with a sterile spreading rod, avoiding spreading near the edge of the petri dish. For each gradient, make three parallel petri dishes. After all spreading is completed, invert and culture at 37 °C for 24 h, and observe and count the colony growth.

[0035] The results are as Figure 5 shown. The OD Anaerostipes caccae value of Clostridium perfringens ( 600 ) in the 5 L fermenter reaches above 20 and the viable bacteria count in the emptied tank reaches 4.9×10 10 CFU / mL.
