[0037] In the early stage of fermentation, 430-450nm blue light was applied to each unit reaction chamber, the temperature was 37±5℃, and the DO was controlled at 30%-40%;
[0038] When OD 600 When it reaches 0.6-0.8, it automatically switches to the induction stage and reduces the blue light intensity to 8-15umol / m 2 ·s, continuous irradiation for 2-4h, activating target protein gene expression through the CcaS and CcaR photosensitive regulatory systems;
[0039] In the middle and late stages of induction, a 20-80 mT, 50 Hz alternating magnetic field is applied to each reaction unit simultaneously, with a magnetic field coil density of 3-5 turns / cm 3 , realizing the rapid enrichment and online reflux of bacteria coated with polylactic acid-Fe3O4 nanocarriers;
[0040] The fermentation tail stream is introduced into an ultrasonic-microwave coupled extraction module with an ultrasonic frequency of 25kHz and a power of 100W, a microwave frequency of 2.45GHz and a power of 400W, and a processing time of 5-10s to achieve instantaneous lysis and protein enrichment;
[0041] Furthermore, strain A: a modified E. coli with gene knockout and tolerance to high dissolved oxygen environment, with a vector copy number ≤10, and has shear resistance and high growth characteristics; strain B: a modified E. coli with optimized metabolic pathway, which can produce ≥2.5g / L of target protein; culture medium formula (10L scale): 20g glucose, 10g yeast extract, 15g tryptone, 2g potassium dihydrogen phosphate, 1g sodium chloride, pH adjusted to 7.0;
[0042] Strain A and strain B were mixed in a volume ratio of 1:2 from 50 mL seed tanks, with a total inoculum volume of 5% v / v. The cells were continuously injected into the chip array at a flow rate of 0.5 uL / min. The system temperature was set at 37 ± 0.5 °C, and blue light irradiation was simultaneously turned on: 450 nm, 120 μmol / m 2 ·s, DO controlled at 35%±2%, online OD 600 When the monitoring reaches 0.75, it automatically enters the induction stage; the blue light intensity is quickly reduced to 10umol / m 2·s, protein gene expression was initiated through the CcaS and CcaR systems, the DO was maintained at 25%±2%, the temperature was maintained at 37°C, and a 50mT, 50Hz alternating magnetic field was applied to each unit simultaneously, so that the bacteria coated with PLA-Fe3O4 nanocarriers were bound and refluxed to the proliferation zone; the fermentation tail flow flowed into the coupled extractor: ultrasonic 20kHz, 100W excitation and microwave 2.45GHz, 400W irradiation were started simultaneously for 8s, which instantly lyzed the bacteria and enriched the protein solution, which was collected after filtration through 0.22um.
[0043] See also Figure 1 The present invention provides an embodiment of a method for producing a microbial fermentation protein feed, the method further comprising:
[0044] Based on the pH, DO, CO2 and microflow rate data collected by online sensors, the AI control unit runs a deep neural network model to adaptively optimize blue light frequency, magnetic field intensity and flow rate;
[0045] Triggered every 48 hours by 365nm ultraviolet light to excite the self-healing polymer coating, repairing cracks on the microchannel surface and inhibiting dirt adhesion;
[0046] After the fermentation batch is completed, the temperature, time, light intensity, and magnetic field parameters are serialized and encoded into the synthetic DNA micromagnetic bead alliance chain architecture for on-chain storage, ensuring that the production data cannot be tampered with and is traceable;
[0047] Furthermore, the PLC control unit is connected to four-way pH, DO, CO2 and microflow rate sensor signals, and adopts a deep neural network DNN structure with 4 neurons in the input layer and 6 hidden layers. The number of nodes in each layer is 128, 256, 256, 138, 64, and 32 respectively, and the output layer has 3 neurons. It includes the prediction of blue light flux, magnetic field intensity, and flow rate adjustment. In the early stage, 50 batches of non-adaptive process experiments were conducted to collect about 5×10 5 Process status-yield data are used for offline model training and verification. After deployment, 1×10 4 For each new data, the model weights are fine-tuned once using the Adam optimizer with a small batch learning rate of 1e-4;
[0048] When the fermentation is carried out for 2 hours, the model starts to predict and calculate the optimal parameter adjustment value every 5 minutes. If the pH deviates from 6.8±0.1, the model recommends increasing the blue light flux by 5-10umol / m 2·s. If DO is higher than 40%, the model reduces the stirring rate by 50rpm and the ventilation volume by 0.1vvm. If CO2 drops below 0.5%, it is recommended to reduce the flow rate by 0.05uL / min to extend the buffer residence time. After receiving the adjustment command, the PLC completes the PWM dimming and magnetic field control signal update within 3s. The flow rate is automatically calibrated by the micro peristaltic pump regulating valve with an accuracy of ±0.01uL / min.

After the exciter absorbs photons, the reversible dissociation and re-crosslinking reaction of the imine bond is triggered. After the irradiation, the crack width of the self-healing coating is reduced from an average of 5μm to <0.2μm. After online microscopic imaging acceptance, the channel resistance has recovered to 98% of the pre-irradiation level.

[0052] After the fermentation batch is completed, the AI control unit exports the above serialized parameters as a hexadecimal string, which is converted into a 4×10 3 DNA oligo strands are synthesized and fixed in micromagnetic beads. The micromagnetic bead information is signed by PoA node A and broadcast to verification nodes B, C, and D. The consensus time is ≤3s. A new block is generated and written into the ledger. At the same time, the block hash is returned to the AI control unit and attached to the batch report.
[0053] See also Figure 1 The present invention provides an embodiment of a method for producing microbial fermentation protein feed, wherein the microfluidic chip array is composed of 10-100 parallel PFMS chips, each chip containing 50-200 reaction units, a unit volume of 20-40uL, a channel width of 100-200um, a depth of 50-100um, and a PTFE hydrophobic valve to control droplet segmentation and merging;
[0054] The blue LED array is composed of multiple high color rendering index 450nm light emitting diodes, equipped with a PWM dimming module to achieve 1umol / m 2 ·S-precision light intensity adjustment, and the chip surface temperature is maintained within ±0.2°C through the silicon-carbon heat dissipation substrate;
[0055] The nanocarrier has a polylactic acid shell thickness of 10-20 nm, a Fe3O4 core diameter of 80-120 nm, and a surface functionalized peptide sequence of Gly-Arg-Gly-Asp. It can stably bind at pH 6.5-7.5 and automatically deload at pH 8.0.
[0056] Furthermore, the assembly and operation configuration of the microfluidic chip array are as follows: Chip collection: PDMS and glass heterogeneous integrated structure is used, microchannels are prepared by soft etching process, and the chip surface is treated with O2 plasma activation to enhance adhesion; Array scale: a total of 40 PFMS chips are connected in parallel, each containing 120 independent reaction units, arranged in a 12×10 array structure; the unit cavity volume is 30uL, the microchannel size is: width 150um, depth 75um, and a rounded rectangular cross-section is used to reduce shear damage; each chip channel Each node is equipped with two PTFE hydrophobic microvalves with an aperture of approximately 80 μm. The control strategy is based on threshold capillary pressure regulation to achieve segmented droplet control and merging. The opening and closing response time is less than 50 ms and can adapt to continuous flow rate changes of ≤ 0.7 μL / min. The chip is integrated through a customized stainless steel module fixed frame. The module adopts a stepped liquid supply structure to ensure the uniformity of parallel liquid supply. A multi-channel micro-syringe pump is used for liquid supply, and real-time flow rate feedback is adjusted. During the initial inoculation stage, each reaction unit is injected with a 0.5 μL bacterial droplet from the main channel and the reaction chamber is sealed.
[0057] Each chip is equipped with an independent blue LED array. The light source unit array consists of 4×8 high color rendering index LEDs with a spacing of 5mm. It uses a PWM dimming module with a frequency of ≥5kHz and a dimming resolution of 0.5umol / m 2 ·s, the minimum dimming step accuracy can be achieved to 1umol / m 2 ·s; All LED arrays are assembled on a silicon-carbon composite heat dissipation substrate with a thermal conductivity of approximately 180W / m·K. The substrate is embedded with a temperature-controlled copper water-cooling channel. Combined with a closed-loop PID control system, the measured chip surface temperature difference is controlled within the range of ±0.2℃, and the light induction consistency is good; Light operation logic: In the early stage of fermentation, the system maintains the blue light intensity at 120umol / m 2 ·s,OD 600 After reaching 0.7, the AI control unit receives sensor feedback and adjusts the blue light to 10umol / m 2·s, continuous induction for 3h, if the chip surface temperature deviates from 37℃±0.2℃, the light intensity regulation will be suspended and the water cooling flow rate will be automatically corrected;
[0058] Preparation and application of PLA-Fe3O4 nanocarriers: The magnetic core is made of spherical Fe3O4 nanoparticles with an average particle size of 100nm. The shell is coated with polylactic acid (PLA) by the oil-in-water emulsion evaporation method, and the shell thickness is controlled to 15nm. The polymer chain containing the peptide segment Gly-Arg-Gly-Asp is grafted onto the surface of the PLA shell. This sequence can bind to the α5β1 integrin receptor in the bacterial surface protein. The binding force is strongest in the pH range of 6.8-7.2. At pH ≥ 8.0, the deprotonation of the amino group causes electrostatic repulsion, achieving automatic desorption and carrier recycling. In the second hour of the induction period, the PLA-Fe3O4 nanocarrier is injected into the chip through the second channel. A 60mT alternating magnetic field is applied to the magnetron array outside the reaction chamber, and the coil layout density is 4 turns / cm. 3 , frequency 50Hz, within 10 minutes, it can be observed that the bacteria and carrier complex are enriched in the middle area of the reaction chamber. The adjustable magnetic field polarity switching is used to achieve the reflux of enriched cells to the proliferation area, thereby improving the yield. At the end of fermentation, the reaction solution is adjusted to pH 8.0, and the carrier is desorbed and regenerated by magnetic separation for the next round of reaction.
[0059] See also Figure 1 The present invention provides an embodiment of a method for producing microbial fermentation protein feed, wherein the alternating magnetic field is composed of a planar spiral coil and a microcurrent drive module, the coil has 100-150 turns, the coil spacing is 1mm, and the magnetic field period repetition rate is ≤1ms, which is used for real-time separation and enrichment and supports a bacterial cell reflux rate of ≥90%;
[0060] The ultrasonic-microwave coupled extraction module includes a titanium alloy ultrasonic transducer and a quartz microwave cavity not connected to the end of the microchannel, and the ultrasonic power density is 1-3W / cm 2 , the temperature rise in the microwave irradiation zone is ≤5°C to avoid thermal denaturation of the target protein;
[0061] Furthermore, a planar double-layer spiral coil is used, with 125 turns in both the outer and inner layers, an insulation thickness of 0.2 mm, and a turn spacing strictly controlled to 1.0 mm. This ensures that the diameter of the coil's planar uniform field area is ≥10 mm, the average diameter of a single turn is 20 mm, and the overall coil thickness is 2.5 mm. It is placed around the microfluidic chip housing to form a four-quadrant symmetrical arrangement.

The coil is coated with epoxy resin and covered with a heat dissipation aluminum alloy bracket. It is cooled by a 35 mL / min micro fan, and the coil operating temperature is ≤40°C.
[0062] During the second hour of the induction phase, PLA-Fe3O4 nanocarriers were injected into the reaction chamber through the second channel at an initial concentration of 0.2 mg / mL. The PLC issued a command, driving the board to excite the coil with a 50 Hz square wave and a peak current of 1.5 A, generating an alternating magnetic induction intensity of 60 mT. Under the action of the magnetic field, the carrier-bacteria complex converged toward the center of the chip. The enrichment time was 2 minutes, reaching a reflux efficiency of ≥90%. The PLC then simultaneously opened the reflux valve, injecting the high-concentration bacteria + carrier complex solution from the enrichment area back into the proliferation area at a rate of 0.05 uL / min. The magnetic field-reflux action was triggered every 10 minutes, lasting 1 minute each time, and was performed 30 times in total.

The microwave source frequency is 2.45 GHz and the output power is 400 W. Coupling position: The outlet of the microfluidic chip is directly connected to the bottom of the ultrasonic transducer through a PEEK high-temperature-resistant tube, with the ultrasonic head immediately behind the microwave cavity inlet. A K-type thermocouple is embedded in the middle of the cavity for real-time temperature detection, with a rated allowable temperature rise of ≤5°C. The microwave cavity is covered with a lead glass shield, and a silicone elastic interface is used between the ultrasonic head and the microfluidic pipeline to prevent liquid backflow.
[0064] The fermentation tail liquid flows into the coupling module at 0.7uL / min, ensuring that the ultrasound and microwave action time is 5-10s. When the droplet enters the ultrasonic head excitation area, the amplitude is set to 10um and the power density is 2W / cm 2 The cell wall is broken, and the droplets after ultrasonic treatment enter the microwave cavity. The microwave source is turned on at the same time and lasts for 5s. The temperature rise of the cavity is controlled at ≤5℃. The intracellular proteins after rupture undergo dynamic expansion and sedimentation. At the outlet, they are intercepted by a 0.22um microfiltration membrane and refluxed for collection. The module can work continuously with a minimum idling interval of 10s until the next droplet arrives.

[0133] Working Principle: Using a microfluidic array, the modified strains A and B are continuously injected into each unit reaction chamber in a set ratio. Combined with high-intensity 430-450nm blue light irradiation and high dissolved oxygen conditions, the rapid exponential growth of the bacteria is achieved.
[0134] When online OD 600 When the set threshold is reached, the system automatically reduces the blue light intensity to 8-15umol / m 2 s, initiating target protein expression through the CcaS and CcaR light-sensitive regulatory pathways; simultaneously applying a 20-80mT, 50Hz alternating magnetic field to each reaction chamber, rapidly enriching the bacteria bound to the magnetic nanocarrier surface and returning them to the proliferation section under the action of the magnetic field, achieving yield amplification and bacterial recycling;
[0135] The discharge flow passes through an ultrasonic and microwave coupling processing unit to instantly lyse the bacteria and enrich the microbial protein; the fermentation data is recorded in real time by a deep neural network model, encoded and written into DNA micromagnetic beads, and then uploaded to the chain for storage, ensuring that the production process is transparent and traceable.
