TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of microorganisms, in particular to a lactobacillus plantarum, a bacterial agent and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the rapid development of animal husbandry, improving the quality of feed has become an important problem in current production. Under the background of global climate change and increasingly severe resource and environmental constraints, Stylosanthes guianensis, as a high-quality legume forage, has superior drought tolerance and poor tolerance, and can grow in harsh environments. And because of its unique nutritional properties, lower fiber content and higher digestibility, it has become an ideal choice for silage raw materials. Lactobacillus plantarum plays a key role in the fermentation process of Stylosanthes guianensis silage. They produce lactic acid by metabolizing soluble carbohydrates, reduce the pH value, and inhibit the growth of harmful microorganisms, thereby improving the preservation quality and nutritional value of Stylosanthes guianensis silage.
[0003] However, in recent years, due to the extensive use of antibiotics, the environmental presence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and drug-resistant bacteria has increased, further exacerbating the risk of antibiotic resistance transmission. Ruminants also ingest feed containing ARGs for a long time, and their intestinal microbiota integrate drug resistance genes through horizontal gene transfer (HGT), forming a biological enrichment effect of drug-resistant bacteria, ultimately threatening human health through multiple pathways. Therefore, the spread of antibiotic resistance genes in silage has attracted widespread attention from the public and research institutions.
[0004] Stylosanthes guianensis, as an important source of silage forage in animal husbandry, the dynamic changes of microbial community in its fermentation process may become a potential way for the spread of resistance genes. Secondly, the resistance genes carried by microorganisms in silage can also make silage become a reservoir of ARGs. There have been studies detecting common resistance genes in Lactobacillus plantarum, such as sulfonamide resistance genes. Lactobacillus plantarum, as the dominant flora in silage, can reduce the pH value of the silage environment through rapid fermentation and acid production, inhibit the proliferation of spoilage bacteria and potential pathogenic bacteria, and these microorganisms usually carry or spread ARGs through horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Among them, mobile genetic elements (such as intl1, intl2) can mediate horizontal gene transfer of ARGs between different species of bacteria. At the same time, Lactobacillus plantarum occupies the ecological niche through competitive exclusion, reduces the biomass of ARGs host bacteria in the microbial community, and may directly inhibit the activity of drug-resistant bacteria by secreting bacteriocins and other bacteriostatic substances. In addition, the distribution, content and transmission mechanism of resistance genes of Lactobacillus plantarum also need further research.
[0005] In summary, the column flower grass in the process of silage faces the problems of high fresh sample moisture content, low sugar content, few epiphyte Lactobacillus, many harmful bacteria, and high content of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), especially sulfonamide resistance genes (SRGs) in the silage feed grass after direct silage, which is harmful to animals, environment and human body.

After inoculation into MRS broth at a ratio of 1%, the broth was incubated for 24 h, and the pH and OD 600 values were measured. The strains were selected based on a pH value < 4.0 and an OD value > 1.6. A total of 47 high-acid-producing strains were selected. After activation, the strains were incubated at 37°C and 140 rpm for 12 h, 1 mL of the bacterial solution was centrifuged at 12,000 rpm, the supernatant was discarded, and the precipitate was used for DNA extraction using a TIANamp Bacterial DNA Extraction Kit. After DNA extraction, the PCR amplification product was subjected to 1.5% agarose electrophoresis, and the target gene fragment was observed. If a clear band appeared, it indicated that the target gene was present in the strain, and if not, it indicated that the target gene was not present. The 4th strain without SRGs was prepared into a bacterial powder (as shown in Tables 1 and 2).

[0117] From the above table, it can be seen that after the method of the present application is used, the silage quality of column grass is significantly improved. With the increase of silage days, the pH values of the control group and the treatment group with high acid-producing Lactobacillus plantarum added are significantly reduced, and the pH value of the treatment group is significantly reduced compared with the control group. Compared with the silage column grass of the control group, the high acid-producing Lactobacillus plantarum added group significantly increased the number of lactic acid bacteria in the silage column grass; and significantly reduced the number of coliform bacteria and the content of ammonia nitrogen in the column grass silage, and reduced the content of ammonia nitrogen. Compared with the control group, the abundance of sulfa antibiotic (SRGs) resistance genes in the treatment group was significantly reduced. The present application has obvious improvement effect on the improvement of column grass silage quality and the preservation of nutritional ingredients, and also has significant effect on reducing SRGs.
[0118] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and it should be noted that the above preferred embodiment should not be regarded as a limitation of the present application.
[0119] Finally, it should be pointed out that the above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application and do not constitute a limitation on the content of the present application. Within the technical concept of the present application, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of the present application, including the combination of various technical features in any other suitable manner. These simple modifications and combinations should also be regarded as disclosed by the present application and fall within the protection scope of the present application.
