[0002] The nasal cavity is the first line of defense of the human respiratory system. The mucus layer and mucosal epithelial cells covering its surface together constitute a unique microecological environment, which is an important basis for resisting the invasion of pathogens and maintaining the homeostasis of the respiratory system. Probiotics, as a type of active microorganisms beneficial to the host, have been widely used in the field of intestinal health and have gradually expanded to mucosal sites such as the skin and oral cavity. They show the potential of "inhibiting bacteria with bacteria" and "replacing treatment with care" by regulating the host's microecological balance, enhancing barrier function and immune regulation. The nasal cavity is an open mucosal system in direct contact with the outside world. In theory, there is space for probiotics to colonize and play a role. Therefore, a probiotic preparation extraction process for nasal microecological health care is needed.

[0020] S3. Transfer the bacterial suspension to a constant temperature water bath or heat exchanger and heat at 50°C for 5 minutes (temperature fluctuation ≤ ±1°C, time error ≤ ±10 seconds). Stir continuously at a low speed (20-30 rpm) during the heat shock process to ensure uniform temperature and avoid local overheating.

[0033] 2) Feeding method: pulse addition (feeding once every 4-6 hours, each feeding volume is 1%-2% of the fermentation liquid volume to avoid sudden changes in osmotic pressure caused by one-time feeding).
[0034] Preferably, the specific process of dynamic pH control of the fermentation tank in step 4 is as follows:

[0055] Step 5: Post-processing:
[0056] S1. Separation and extraction: Use centrifugation, filtration and other methods to separate the bacteria from the culture medium and extract the required active ingredients.
[0057] S2: Concentration: Concentrate the extracted bacteria to obtain a high-concentration bacterial suspension;
[0058] S3. Transfer the bacterial suspension to a constant temperature water bath or heat exchanger and heat at 50°C for 5 minutes (temperature fluctuation ≤ ±1°C, time error ≤ ±10 seconds). Stir continuously at a low speed (20-30 rpm) during the heat shock process to ensure uniform temperature and avoid local overheating.
[0059] S4. After the heat shock is completed, the bacterial suspension is immediately transferred to an ice bath (04°C) and rapidly cooled for 5-10 minutes to terminate the spore formation process.
[0060] Furthermore, the specific mixing steps of the fermentation medium in step 1 are as follows:
[0061] 1) Dissolve the components in S2 in 800 mL of distilled water and stir until completely dissolved;
[0062] 2) Adjust the pH to 7.0 with NaOH or HCI;

[0064] Furthermore, the specific mixing steps of the fermentation medium, including component dissolution, pH adjustment and high-pressure sterilization, ensure the sterility and appropriate pH value of the medium, provide a stable environment for the growth of probiotics, and help improve the culture efficiency and activity of probiotics.

[0075] Furthermore, after the fermentation broth enters the stable period, feeding is started and a pulsed addition method is adopted, which provides additional nutrients to promote the formation of spores, while avoiding the sudden change in osmotic pressure caused by one-time feeding, ensuring the stable growth of probiotics.
[0076] Furthermore, the specific process of dynamic pH control of the fermentation tank in step 4 is as follows:
[0077] 1) Install a pH sensor on the fermentation tank stirring paddle, connect the pH sensor to an external PLC controller, and connect the PLC controller to the acid and alkali addition pump;
[0078] 2) The pH sensor transmits data to the controller every 10-30 seconds. When it detects that the pH deviates from the target value (such as the pH rises to 7.1), the controller triggers the acid pump to add hydrochloric acid at a flow rate of 0.1-0.5L / h. If the pH drops to 6.9, the alkali pump is triggered to add NaOH.
[0079] Furthermore, by installing pH sensors and PLC controllers, the pH value can be monitored and adjusted in real time. This precise pH control helps maintain the optimal environment for probiotic growth and avoids the adverse effects of pH fluctuations on bacterial growth.
[0080] Working principle: First, prepare the raw materials and select a mixture of Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis as the probiotic strains. The colony count of both is greater than 10 billion cfu / g and the ratio is 1:1. At the same time, prepare LB broth medium, which includes 10g / L tryptone, 5g / L yeast extract, 10g / L NaCl, 20g / L glucose, 2g / L dipotassium hydrogen phosphate, 2g / L diammonium hydrogen citrate, 10g / L sodium acetate, 0.28g / L magnesium sulfate, 0.58g / L manganese sulfate, Tween 80 1g / L, cysteine hydrochloride 0.5g / L, and dissolve the culture medium components in 800mL distilled water, stir until completely dissolved, adjust the pH to 7.0 with NaOH or HCI, make up to 1000mL, and sterilize at 121℃ for 20 minutes. Then activate the strain. After the probiotics are restored to room temperature from the frozen state, they are inoculated into the culture medium containing LB broth medium at a 1% inoculum volume and placed in a 37℃ incubator for 24h. Thawing on ice does not exceed 30 seconds, and the activation times do not exceed 3 times. OD600≈0.5-1.0 is a sign of successful activation. Then, the seed liquid is expanded and the activated bacterial liquid is transferred to 500mL LB medium (shake flask volume ≤25%) at a 1% inoculum volume. It is cultured at 37℃ and 200rpm for 12 hours until OD600≈1.0-1.5, and the number of viable bacteria (≥1x10 9CFU / mL is qualified); then fermentation culture is carried out, the activated seed liquid is inoculated into a fermenter containing LB broth medium at a rate of 1%, and in parts by weight, 1000 parts of LB broth medium contain 10 parts of probiotic seed liquid, and cultured at 37-42°C and standard atmospheric pressure for 48 hours, during which the components in the fermenter are stirred to form a uniform bacterial suspension. The specific operation includes cooling to 37°C after sterilization, passing sterile air (aerobic bacteria or anaerobic bacteria), and maintaining low stirring (100r) for the first 2 hours after inoculation. pm) to reduce mechanical damage. After entering the logarithmic growth phase, increase the stirring to 200-400 rpm and monitor DO>30% saturation. When the fermentation liquid enters the stable phase (OD600 reaches the plateau phase, such as Bacillus subtilis OD600≈5.0), start feeding. The feeding liquid formula is yeast extract 5g / L + ammonium sulfate 2g / L. The feeding method is pulse addition, feeding once every 4-6 hours, and the feeding volume each time is 1%-2% of the fermentation liquid volume. After that, post-processing is carried out, using centrifugation, filtration, etc. Method: The bacteria in the culture medium are separated from the culture medium, the required active ingredients are extracted, and the extracted bacteria are concentrated to obtain a high-concentration bacterial suspension. The bacterial suspension is transferred to a constant temperature water bath or heat exchanger and treated at 50°C for 5 minutes (temperature fluctuation ≤+1°C, time error ≤±10 seconds). During the heat shock process, low-speed stirring (20-30rpm) is continuously performed to ensure uniform temperature and avoid local overheating. After the heat shock is completed, the bacterial suspension is immediately transferred to an ice bath (0-4°C) and rapidly cooled for 5-10 minutes to terminate spore formation. Finally, in terms of dynamic pH control of the fermenter, a pH sensor is installed on the fermenter agitator, the pH sensor is connected to an external PLC controller, and the PLC controller is connected to the acid and alkali addition pump. The pH sensor transmits data to the controller every 10-30 seconds. When it is detected that the pH deviates from the target value (such as the pH rises to 7.1), the controller triggers the acid pump to add hydrochloric acid at a flow rate of 0.1-0.5L / h. If the pH drops to 6.9, the alkali pump is triggered to add NaOH to maintain the stability of the pH value in the fermenter.
