Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of microorganisms and their applications, and relates to a microorganism for producing oligosaccharides, a method for constructing the same, and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Glucan is mainly derived from fungi, yeasts, plants, and algae, and is an important dietary fiber in food, having important nutritional value and biological functions. Among them, yeast β-glucan is one of the main components of the yeast cell wall, located in the inner layer of the yeast cell wall, accounting for about 60% of the dry weight of the cell wall, and is a rich natural source of glucan. The application of yeast β-glucan in the chemical industry, aquaculture, and food has received increasing attention. However, in the domestic market, yeast β-glucan still has problems such as low yield, poor quality, and low purity, and cannot meet the growing market demand. Currently, the commonly used extraction methods for yeast β-glucan include acid-base extraction, high-pressure microfluidic homogenization, and ultrasonic-assisted extraction. These methods still have problems such as low yield, difficulty in meeting market demand for purity, and serious pollution in the production process to varying degrees.

[0003] Therefore, finding a production method with simple process, high yield, and good quality of glucan is helpful to improve the commercial value of β-glucan. For example, extracting β-glucan from the metabolites of microorganisms is a new idea.

[0004] Chinese Patent No. 201310002710.3 discloses a Gynostemma pentaphyllum endophytic fungus and its uses, and its preservation registration number is CGMCC NO: 6882. This document discloses that various natural active substances including glucan, flavonoids, organic acids, quinones, sapogenins, etc. can be separated and extracted from the endophytic fungus and its fermentation broth. However, the mycelia of this strain are relatively long and will entangle the stirring device of the fermenter during fermentation, which not only damages the equipment but also causes mass transfer obstruction and affects the yield of glucan.

[0005] Therefore, the present invention hopes to transform the existing Gynostemma pentaphyllum endophytic fungus, namely Chaetomium globosum CGMCC6882, to obtain a new strain with shorter mycelia, which is more conducive to fermentation production, so as to meet the requirements of industrial production of glucan.

[0006] Existing research has shown that the Ste20 gene sequence can regulate hyphal growth. For example, Ste20 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae can regulate functions such as cell wall formation, conjugation process, osmotic regulation, and hyphal growth. In Basidiomycetous yeast and Cryptococcus neoformans, the deletion of the Ste20 homologous protein results in a decrease in sexual reproductive hyphae. In Cryptococcosis neoformans, the deletion of the Ste20 homologous protein leads to the loss of sexual reproductive ability of hyphae and a decrease in toxicity. In the A. flavus CA14 strain, the deletion of the Ste20 gene results in a significant decrease in strain growth, conidia formation, sclerotia formation, toxin biosynthesis, and infectivity. Excessively long hyphae will form hyphal pellets during the fermentation process. Hyphal pellets are a type of microbial aggregate formed under certain culture conditions. The formed hyphal pellets will affect the mass transfer of materials. Generally, the cells in the center of the pellet are not as good as the cells on the surface of the pellet in terms of growth and product formation.

[0007] Therefore, the present invention aims to construct a Ste20 knockout vector to transform the existing strains to obtain a new strain, achieving the purpose of regulating the length of hyphae, so as to solve the existing technical problems such as the long hyphae winding the stirring device of the fermenter and affecting the mass transfer of the fermentation broth. Summary of the Invention

[0058] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0059] The present invention uses the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology to construct a plasmid for knocking out the homologous gene of yeast Y1Ste20. At the same time, the protoplast fusion technology is used to fuse the protoplast of Chaetomium globosum CGMCC 6882 with the plasmid for knocking out the homologous gene of yeast Y1Ste20 to achieve the transformation of Chaetomium globosum CGMCC 6882.

[0130] In this example, the enzyme digestion solution was prepared by weighing 0.48 g of snail enzyme, 0.3 g of lysing enzyme, and 0.12 g of cellulase and dissolving them in 30 mL of deionized water, that is, the mass ratio of snail enzyme, lysing enzyme and cellulase was 4:2.5:1.

[0131] Step S2-3: Filter to obtain protoplasts. Wash the obtained protoplasts first with 0.7 M NaCl solution, then with STC buffer. Centrifuge at 4°C and 2000 rpm for 5 min, resuspend the cells with STC buffer, and store at 4°C to obtain Chaetomium globosum CGMCC 6882 protoplasts.

[0137] Step S4: Conduct secondary screening using the hygromycin-resistant medium, specifically:

[0138] After the transformants grow, take a 0.5 cm × 0.5 cm block of culture with hyphae and culture it on the plate of the hygromycin solid seed medium for secondary screening to obtain a strain with a stable growth type. The process of secondary screening is shown in Appendix Figure 3 The result of verifying the hygromycin resistance gene using agarose gel electrophoresis is shown in Appendix Figure 4 After the sequencing result is correct, it proves that the transformed strain is successfully constructed.

[0139] Among them, Appendix Figure 3In the photo taken on the 14th day, the colonies at the lower left of each culture medium are the screened transformed strain colonies;

[0140] In this step, the preparation method of the hygromycin solid seed medium is as follows: weigh 0.3 g of beef extract, 2 g of sucrose, 0.1 g of yeast powder, 0.5 g of peptone, add 100 mL of deionized water, adjust the pH to 7.2, add 3.6 g of agar powder, and add 200 μg / mL hygromycin when sterilizing and pouring the plate.

[0141] The constructed transformed strain was named Chaetomium globosum XY1104, deposited in the China Center for Type Culture Collection, with the deposit registration number CCTCC NO: M 20242389, and the deposit date was October 30, 2024.

[0142] Example 2

[0143] The implementation method of this example is the same as that of Example 1, except that the parameters of some steps in Example 1 are adjusted, including:

[0144] There are differences in the ligation system in step S1-7. The ligation system of this example is an aqueous solution of 5×SE Cloning Buffer with a volume concentration of 15%. The ligation system contains the digested pFC332 vector with a concentration of 6 ng / μL and the 5SrRNA-gRNA scaffod fragment with a concentration of 20 ng / μL; the ligation system also contains the recombinase SERecombinase with a volume concentration of 12%;

[0145] The LB solid or liquid medium containing ampicillin in step S1-8 or S1-9 is the LB solid medium containing 60 μg / mL ampicillin and the LB liquid medium containing 60 μg / mL ampicillin, respectively;

[0146] The digestion time in step S2-2 is 4 h, and the mass ratio of snailase, lywallzyme, and cellulase in the enzyme solution is 5:2:1;

[0147] In step S3-1, the protoplasts of Chaetomium globosum CGMCC 6882 and the Y1Ste20 gene knockout plasmid are mixed at a ratio of 12:1, and the incubation temperature is 32°C;

[0148] In step S3-3, the preparation method of the hygromycin-resistant medium is 1.2 g of agar powder, made up to 100 mL with distilled water, and 180 μg / mL hygromycin is added when sterilizing and pouring the plate.

[0149] In the preparation process of the hygromycin solid seed medium in step S4, 3.8 g of agar powder is added.

[0150] This example can construct the transformed strain of Chaetomium globosum XY1104.

[0151] Example 3

[0152] The implementation method of this example is the same as that of Example 1, except that the parameters of some steps in Example 1 are adjusted, including:

[0153] There are differences in the ligation system in step S1-7. The ligation system in this example is an aqueous solution of 5×SE Cloning Buffer with a volume concentration of 25%. The ligation system contains the digested pFC332 vector with a concentration of 4 ng / μL and the 5SrRNA-gRNA scaffod fragment with a concentration of 30 ng / μL; the ligation system also contains the recombinase SE Recombinase with a volume concentration of 8%.

[0154] In step S1-8 or S1-9, it is the LB solid medium containing 40 μg / mL ampicillin and the LB liquid medium containing 40 μg / mL ampicillin;

[0155] The digestion time in step S2-2 is 3 h, and the mass ratio of snailase, lywallzyme and cellulase in the enzyme solution is 3:3:1;

[0156] In step S3-1, the protoplasts of Chaetomium globosum CGMCC 6882 and the Y1Ste20 gene knockout plasmid are mixed in a ratio of 8:1, and the incubation temperature is 8°C;

[0157] In step S3-3, the preparation method of the hygromycin-resistant medium is 1.5 g of agar powder, made up to 100 mL with distilled water, and 220 μg / mL hygromycin is added when sterilizing and pouring the plate.

[0158] In step S4, 3.5 g of agar powder is added during the preparation process of the hygromycin solid seed medium.

[0159] This example can also construct the transformed strain of Chaetomium globosum XY1104.

[0160] Example 4

[0161] In Example 4 of the present invention, the characteristics of Chaetomium globosum XY1104 are identified. During the research process of the present invention, the Chaetomium globosum XY1104 screened in Examples 1 to 3 were all identified, and the identification results were consistent; the strain screened in Example 1 of the present invention is taken as an example for description.

[0162] There are significant differences between Chaetomium globosum XY1104 and Chaetomium globosum CGMCC 6882 in colony morphology, hyphal morphology, and the color of the fermentation broth. For the results, see the appendix Figure 5 and 6 .

[0163] It can be clearly seen from Figure 5 and Figure 6 that on solid medium, the hyphal growth rate and colony diameter of Chaetomium globosum XY1104 are both smaller than those of Chaetomium globosum CGMCC 6882; in liquid medium, Chaetomium globosum XY1104 shows dense and fine hyphae, while the hyphae of Chaetomium globosum CGMCC 6882 are intertwined.

[0164] It can be seen that the hyphae of Chaetomium globosum XY1104 constructed in the present invention are shorter. Applying it to the fermentation production of dextran can avoid the problem of hyphal entanglement.

[0165] Example Five

[0166] Fermentation was carried out using the new strain Chaetomium globosum XY1104 constructed in Example One. The specific steps include inoculation, fermentation culture, extraction and purification of oligosaccharide dextran, specifically as follows:

[0167] The seed liquid of Chaetomium globosum XY1104 in the logarithmic phase was inoculated into the fermentation broth. 25 mL of the seed liquid was inoculated into every 1 L of the fermentation broth. The temperature of the fermentation culture was 30 °C, the culture time was 2.5 days, and the fermentation time was 7 days. Oxygen needed to be introduced during the fermentation process;

[0168] After the fermentation was completed, centrifugation and filtration were carried out to remove the precipitate and insoluble substances, and the filtrate was retained;

[0169] The filtrate was concentrated to 1 / 5 of the original volume to obtain a concentrated solution. Absolute ethanol was added to the concentrated solution to obtain an alcohol precipitation solution. Alcohol precipitation was carried out overnight at 4 °C, and the supernatant was discarded to obtain an alcohol precipitation precipitate;

[0170] The obtained alcohol precipitation precipitate was redissolved in water, and then concentrated again to a volume of 100 mL. 300 mL of Sevage reagent was added and shaken and centrifuged to remove proteins, and the supernatant after protein removal was obtained;

[0171] The supernatant after protein removal was dialyzed to remove salts, purified by gel chromatography, and freeze-dried to obtain oligosaccharide dextran, denoted as freeze-dried powder sample 1.

[0172] Example Six

[0173] The implementation method of this example is the same as that of Example 5, except that the fermentation conditions are adjusted. 50 mL of seed liquid is inoculated into every 1 L of fermentation broth. The temperature for fermentation culture is 28 °C, the culture time is 2 days, and the fermentation time is 6 days. The subsequent process is the same as that of Example 5, and the freeze-dried powder sample 2 is prepared.

[0174] Example 7

[0175] The implementation method of this example is the same as that of Example 5, except that the fermentation conditions are adjusted. 10 mL of seed liquid is inoculated into every 1 L of fermentation broth. The temperature for fermentation culture is 32 °C, the culture time is 3 days, and the fermentation time is 8 days. The subsequent process is the same as that of Example 5, and the freeze-dried powder sample 3 is prepared.

[0176] Comparative Example

[0177] Using Chaetomium globosum CGMCC 6882 as the fermentation strain, the implementation method is the same as that of Example 5, and the freeze-dried powder reference substance is prepared.

[0178] The color of the freeze-dried powder sample 1 and the freeze-dried powder reference substance was compared, and the results are shown in the appendix Figure 7 .

[0179] During the fermentation process, it was found that mycelial entanglement occurred in Chaetomium globosum CGMCC 6882 on the fourth day; while in the whole fermentation process of Chaetomium globosum XY1104 of the present invention in Example 5, Example 6 and Example 7, no mycelial entanglement occurred.

[0180] From Figure 8 and Figure 9 it can be seen that the exopolysaccharides of Chaetomium globosum XY1104 and Chaetomium globosum CGMCC 6882 show different states at different magnifications:

[0181] Under the scanning electron microscope, the exopolysaccharide (reference substance) of Chaetomium globosum CGMCC 6882 is in the form of solid large flakes, while the exopolysaccharide (sample) of Chaetomium globosum XY1104 presents smooth bubble-like shapes;

[0182] Under the transmission electron microscope, the exopolysaccharide (reference substance) of Chaetomium globosum CGMCC 6882 is in the form of irregular flakes and dense dots, while the exopolysaccharide (sample) of Chaetomium globosum XY1104 is mainly in the form of dense dots, with fewer irregular flakes.

[0183] Analysis and Inspection

[0184] I. Basic Structure Analysis

[0185] The basic structures of the extracellular polysaccharides in the freeze-dried powder sample 1 and the freeze-dried powder reference sample were analyzed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance. The relevant spectra are shown in Appendix Figure 10 ~Appendix Figure 14 .

[0186] In Appendix Figure 10 , obvious characteristic absorption peaks of polysaccharides are present at 3375 cm -1 and 2945 cm -1 , indicating that the main structure of the polysaccharide remains unchanged. The absorption peak at 3375 cm -1 is the stretching vibration of O-H, indicating the presence of hydrogen bonds within the polysaccharide. The absorption peak at 2945 cm -1 is the stretching vibration absorption peak of C-H. The peak at 1622 cm -1 is caused by the stretching of C=O and is an aldehyde group peak. The peak at 1416 cm -1 is the contraction vibration of -COOH. The peak at 1112 cm -1 is the stretching vibration of C-O-C glycosidic bonds and C-O-H side groups, which is the characteristic absorption peak of the pyran ring and also the characteristic absorption peak of glucose.

[0187] Figures 11 - 12

[0188]

[0189] Monosaccharide composition (mol%) In Figures 11 - 12 , through structural confirmation of the hydrogen spectrum and carbon spectrum of the freeze-dried powder sample 1, the freeze-dried powder of the sample of the present invention is a single β-glucose, while the freeze-dried powder of the reference sample is a heteropolysaccharide. The components were analyzed, and the specific results are shown in Table 3.

[0188] Table 3: Monosaccharide composition of freeze-dried powder sample 1 and freeze-dried powder reference sample

[0189] Monosaccharide composition (mol%) Lyophilized powder sample 1 Lyophilized powder sample 2 Lyophilized powder sample 3 Lyophilized powder reference Glucose 100 100 100 81.87 Mannose Not detected Not detected Not detected 10.85 Galactose Not detected Not detected Not detected 5.37 Galacturonic acid Not detected Not detected Not detected 1.91

[0190] As shown in Table 3, all components in all freeze-dried powder samples are glucose, but the freeze-dried powder reference sample is a heteropolysaccharide, and its components include glucose, mannose, galactose, and galacturonic acid. Moreover, the proportions of mannose and galactose in the freeze-dried powder reference sample are high, and the purity of glucose is only 81.87 Mol%. It can be seen that the glucan purity in the freeze-dried powder of the present invention is higher.

[0191] It was also found in the experiment that the yields of the freeze-dried powder sample 1, freeze-dried powder sample 2, and freeze-dried powder sample 3 of the present invention were 5.65 g, 5.54 g, and 5.36 g per liter of fermentation broth, respectively, all exceeding 5 g / L, while the yield of the freeze-dried powder reference sample was 1.93 g per liter of fermentation broth. It can be seen that the strain constructed in the present invention greatly improves the product yield.

[0192] The freeze-dried powder sample and the freeze-dried powder reference substance were used for the determination of molecular weight, and the results are shown in Table 4.

[0193] Table 4: Molecular weights of the freeze-dried powder sample and the freeze-dried powder reference substance

[0194] Index Lyophilized powder sample 1 Lyophilized powder sample 2 Lyophilized powder sample 3 Lyophilized powder reference Weight-average molecular weight, Mw (Da) 5231 5298 5201 51975 Number-average molecular weight, Mn (Da) 2285 2297 2211 26654 Polydispersity (Mw / Mn) 2.289 2.265 2.221 1.95

[0195] As can be seen from the results in Table 4, the β-glucan prepared by the present invention is an oligo-glucan, with a weight-average molecular weight of 5200 - 5300 and a number-average molecular weight of 2200 - 2300.

[0196] In summary, the present invention constructs a new strain named Chaetomium globosum XY1104. It not only has short hyphae and will not cause the problem of hyphae tangling the stirring device during the fermentation process, but also can improve the mass transfer effect during the fermentation process and increase the yield of glucan by nearly 3 times. The present invention also unexpectedly discovers that the strain constructed by the present invention can metabolize β-glucan alone, rather than heteropolysaccharide. Since the purity of the freeze-dried powder of β-glucan prepared by the present invention is 100%, it is more suitable as a raw material for health products, expanding the application market of β-glucan products.

According to the grouping, the control drug and freeze-dried samples and reference substance freeze-dried powder solutions with different concentrations were added. Six parallels were set in each group and incubated in an incubator for 24 h. The cell growth conditions and status of the blank group and experimental groups were observed under a microscope. Then, 50 μL of the supernatant from each well was taken, and 50 μL of Griess reagent solutions I and II were added successively. The plate was gently tapped horizontally to allow sufficient reaction, and the absorbance was measured at a wavelength of 540 nm. A standard curve was plotted by combining with the standard solution concentration, and the NO concentration of each experimental group was calculated. The results are shown in the appendix Figure 19 .
