Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of bioengineering, and provides a Parvularubellus sp. and application thereof, and particularly relates to application of the Parvularubellus sp. in production of pyrroloquinoline quinone. BACKGROUND

[0002] Pyrroloquinoline quinone (hereinafter referred to as PQQ) has the chemical name of 4,5-dihydro-4,5-dioxo-1-hydrogen pyrrole (2,3f) quinone-2,7,9-tricarboxylic acid, and an alias of Methoxatin. In 1979, Salisbury et al. first isolated it from methylotrophic bacteria, and determined that it is an oxidation-reduction cofactor of membrane-bound dehydrogenase in bacterial cells, and it is the third auxiliary group found after flavin nucleotides and nicotinamide nucleotides, and is called the fourteenth vitamin in the world medical field. PQQ, as a new type of water-soluble vitamin, is an oxidation-reduction enzyme auxiliary group, and its source is very rare and can only be synthesized in some gram-negative bacteria, and mammals cannot synthesize it by themselves, and mainly obtain it through the dietary route. PQQ exists in daily vegetables and fruits, such as natto, celery and kiwi fruit, etc.

[0003] Studies have shown that PQQ has physiological functions such as participating in the growth and differentiation of mammalian cells, enhancing the tolerance of cells to extreme environments, and increasing the availability of insoluble phosphate. Some recent studies have found that PQQ, as a necessary factor for human development, stimulates human cell growth, such as human B cells and T cells, so that antibodies are produced, thereby improving human immune function; and PQQ has an exceptionally high free radical scavenging ability, and can prevent and treat the damage to the body caused by excessive free radicals and trigger various diseases such as various inflammations and cancers. In 2003, Japanese scientist Kasahara published a paper in Nature suggesting that PQQ should be classified as a vitamin, and in 2018, American cancer and anti-aging expert Bruce N. Ames published a paper in PNAS defining PQQ as a “longevity vitamin”. At present, PQQ is classified as a vitamin in the United States, Japan and the European Union, and is sold as a dietary supplement. In recent years, the distribution, mechanism, structure, function and biological properties of PQQ have been very active in international research, and the research on pyrroloquinoline quinone as a new drug also has important practical significance.

[0004] Currently, the production methods of PQQ are mainly chemical synthesis and fermentation. The chemical synthesis method has complex process, serious pollution, and production scale is strictly controlled, which cannot meet the rapidly growing market demand. The microbial fermentation method has gradually become a new research direction, which has the advantages of green environmental protection, low cost, few steps and easy separation, but there is a problem of lack of excellent industrial production strains. Patent CN 103898011 B discloses a methylo pilas p producing pyrroloquinoline quinone and its application, and the PQQ shake flask production capacity is 50-113 mg / L, the titer is relatively low, and it is difficult to realize industrial scale production; patent CN 106282044 B discloses a kind of raw silk microorganism (Hyphomicrobium sp) and a preparation method of pyrroloquinoline quinone. The strain can reach 1783 mg / L on the fermentation tank, but the consumption of methanol is too much, and the conversion rate is low. In patent CN 113981021 B, when the paracoccus amnioniphilus is used for fermentation synthesis of PQQ, the final PQQ yield is more than 1 g / L after 6-8 days of fermentation tank culture, the titer is relatively low, and the culture time is long, which is not conducive to industrial production. 3

[0005] Therefore, breeding a high-yield PQQ production strain with high methanol conversion rate has important significance for accelerating the industrialization process of microbial fermentation method for producing PQQ. SUMMARY

[0006] The present application provides a Paracoccus haeundaensis, which can produce pyrroloquinoline quinone in high yield. The inventors named the strain YJY25-02, and the preservation number is CGMCC NO.34258. Verification found that the pyrroloquinoline quinone titer of the fermentation broth was 176.7 mg / L after 83 h of shake flask aerobic culture; the pyrroloquinoline quinone titer in the fermentation broth was 1796-1863 mg / L, and the methanol conversion rate was 16.19-18.12 mg / g under the conditions of maintaining pH and flow adding methanol to supplement carbon source during the fermentation process after 120-144 h of aerobic culture in the fermentation tank, which has the advantages of short fermentation time, high titer and high methanol conversion rate, and can solve the problem of large-scale production; pyrroloquinoline quinone pure product with a purity of ≥98% can be prepared by separating and purifying the above-mentioned fermentation broth, and the yield is 80%-85%, which realizes high yield and high purity of pyrroloquinoline quinone pure product, and the separation and purification process is simple, the cost is low, no organic solvent is introduced in the production process, and the safety of the product is ensured. The immune-enhancing and anticancer product prepared by compounding the above-mentioned pyrroloquinoline quinone pure product with grifola frondosa extract has significant immune-enhancing and anticancer effects, and has a broad market prospect.​

[0007] The specific technical solutions provided by the present application are as follows: The inventors first provide a Paracoccus zeaxanthinifaciens which can produce pyrroloquinoline quinone at a high yield, and name the strain YJY25-02, and the preservation number is CGMCC NO.34258.

[0008] The morphological characteristics of the strain are as shown in the following table: Figure 1 And 2 The flat plate culture colony is round and convex, the surface is smooth and moist, the edge is neat, and the color is milky yellow.

[0009] The source of the above-mentioned strain YJY25-02 is that the inventors isolate and purify single colonies from Malus micromalus Fuji ferment, and repeatedly mutate by using conventional mutagenesis methods such as UV, DMS, MMS, NTG, etc., combined with ARTP mutagenesis system. After conventional methanol enrichment medium, methanol solid plate primary screening, methanol liquid shake flask rescreening, combined with HPLC analysis, and in-depth research on its physiological and biochemical characteristics and genetic stability, the Paracoccus zeaxanthinifaciens is finally screened out. The inventors have biologically preserved the strain in the China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center, and the preservation number is CGMCC NO.34258. It is in a viable state after detection. It is easy to culture and has genetic stability, and can be used for the preparation of PQQ pure product and compound product.

[0010] The inventors have sequenced the 16S rDNA of the strain YJY25-02, and the sequence is as shown in SEQ ID No:1. The sequence is the full sequence of the 16S rDNA of the strain. The measured 16S rDNA sequence is subjected to BLAST comparison, and the comparison result shows that the nucleotide sequence of the 16S rDNA of the strain YJY25-02 has more than 99% homology with the nucleotide sequences of different strains of Paracoccus (genus) Paracoccus sp. ), and has 100% homology with the strain marked as Paracoccus zeaxanthinifaciens (genus) Paracoccus huijuniae ). It is identified as Paracoccus zeaxanthinifaciens (genus) Paracoccus huijuniae ).

[0011] The inventors have biologically preserved the above-mentioned strain, and the preservation information is as follows: Preservation time: April 17, 2025 Preservation unit name: China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center Preservation number: CGMCC NO.34258 Preservation unit address: No.1, Beichen West Road, Haidian District, Beijing, China Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences Classification name: Paracoccus zeaxanthinifaciens (genus) Paracoccus huijuniae ).

[0012] After obtaining the above strain, the inventors further provided its application in the preparation of pyrroloquinoline quinone and immunity-enhancing and anti-cancer products. The specific preparation steps are as follows: (1) Preparation of fermentation broth of PQQ by Paracoccus hyedii YJY25-02, the specific steps are as follows: The activated Paracoccus huiyi YJY25-02 test tube slant culture was scraped with an inoculating needle to obtain a loopful of the culture medium and inoculated into a seed culture medium for aerobic culture at 30° C. for 18 to 26 hours, and the culture liquid OD600 was cultured to 0.6 to 1.0 to obtain a seed solution; the prepared seed solution was inoculated into a sterilized fermentation medium at an inoculum size of 5 to 10% (v / w), and the fermentation temperature was 30° C. and the culture was aerobic for 120 to 144 hours. During the fermentation production process, 25% ammonia water was added to maintain the pH of the system at 6.5 to 7.0, and methanol was added to maintain the methanol concentration in the fermentation system at not less than 0.5 to 1 g / L, thereby obtaining a fermentation liquid of PQQ fermented by Paracoccus huiyi YJY25-02; The PQQ titer in the fermentation broth was as follows: Figure 3 As shown, it is 1796-1863 mg / L, the volume of added methanol accounts for 11-13% of the total volume of the fermentation broth, and the methanol conversion rate is 16.19-18.12 mg / g, which is much higher than the methanol conversion rate of the existing PQQ production strain.

[0013] (2) Preparation of pure PQQ, specifically: The fermentation broth obtained in the previous step was adjusted to pH 2.5-3.5 with hydrochloric acid, and a volume ratio of 0.5‰-2‰ of a swollen, clear, and transparent flocculant chitosan was added, and the mixture was allowed to stand at 10°C-35°C for 30-60 minutes, and then a filter aid, diatomaceous earth, was added, and the filtrate was obtained after plate and frame filtration; the filtrate was passed through a 5KD-10KD ultrafiltration membrane, and the ultrafiltration clear liquid was collected; the ultrafiltration clear liquid was passed through a resin column (OH-type weakly basic anion exchange resin, specifically Shandong Dongda Resin Co., Ltd.) at a flow rate of 1BV / h. The company's weak base acrylic resin D301) was eluted from the resin column with a desorbent of the same volume as the ultrafiltration clear liquid at a flow rate of 2BV / h. The desorbent used was a 0.5wt% sodium hydroxide solution; the red and dark red effluents were collected; the pH of the effluent was then adjusted to 6.5-7.0, and the effluent was passed through a 100D-300D nanofiltration membrane to collect the nanofiltration concentrate; the nanofiltration concentrate was concentrated under reduced pressure until crystals precipitated, and the temperature was lowered for crystallization and filtration to obtain crude PQQ. Purified water was added to the crude PQQ product and dissolved at 40°C to 60°C. Activated carbon was then added, stirred for 30 minutes, filtered, and the filtrate was cooled for recrystallization, and wet PQQ was obtained by suction filtration. The wet PQQ product was washed with cold water, filtered again, and dried to obtain pure PQQ. The purity was tested to be ≥98%, and the PQQ yield was 80% to 85%.

[0014] After obtaining the PQQ pure product, the inventors further disclose its application in the preparation of an immunity-enhancing and anticancer product, which can be one of a medicine, a health product or a functional food; and its dosage form can be a capsule, a tablet or a solid or liquid beverage.

[0015] As an optional mode, the product comprises a pharmaceutically, health product or functional food acceptable carrier selected from one or more of a filler, a binder, a disintegrant, a lubricant, a suspending agent, a wetting agent, a pigment, a flavoring agent, a solvent and a surfactant.

[0016] Preferably, the inventors provide a tablet as the dosage form of the product, and the excipients used in the tablet are stachyose, malt dextrin, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide.

[0017] In order to achieve better immunity-enhancing and anticancer effects, the inventors find that the immunity-enhancing and anticancer product can further comprise a Grifola frondosa extract, which can be obtained by biological purification from Grifola frondosa mycelium or purchased from a commercial product.

[0018] The main component of the Grifola frondosa extract is Grifola frondosa polysaccharide, which is a long-chain glucan with β-1, 6-glucan as the main chain and β-1, 3-branched chains. Research shows that this unique structure makes Grifola frondosa polysaccharide have special tumor inhibition activity and immunity-enhancing effects. Its mechanism of action is to activate the immune system function of the body, activate immune effector cells, produce a large amount of immune factors, and through the host mediation of the body, the number and activity of immune cells in tumor patients can be maximized, and macrophages, natural killer cells (NK), dendritic cells, etc. are activated, and the secretion of cytokines (such as IL-12, IFN-γ) is promoted, the innate and adaptive immune responses are enhanced, and tumor cells are targeted killed; on the other hand, Grifola frondosa polysaccharide has a strong apoptosis induction effect, which can cause programmed necrosis of tumor cells. At the same time of completely removing the immune substances around the cancer cells, the activity of Myc gene is strongly inhibited to reduce the production of Myc protein, so that the cancer cells die and the cells with cancerous tendency become harmless normal cells; the Grifola frondosa extract can enhance the immunity-enhancing and anticancer effects of PQQ.

[0019] PQQ promotes the generation of new mitochondria by activating key pathways related to mitochondrial biogenesis (such as AMPK / PGC-1α); at the same time, it provides energy and antioxidant protection for the efficient operation of immune cells, while Grifola frondosa polysaccharide directly activates and regulates immune cells, and the combination of the two can more comprehensively support the overall health and response capacity of the immune system; at the same time, PQQ directly destroys the mitochondria, the energy factory of cancer cells, and Grifola frondosa polysaccharide activates immune cells to recognize and remove PQQ-damaged cancer cells, and the combination of the two can form a "physical destruction + immune cleaning" double blow, so that the Grifola frondosa polysaccharide in the technical solution provided by the present application can enhance the immune-enhancing and anticancer effects of PQQ.

[0020] As an optional mode, the weight ratio of the PQQ pure product with a purity of ≥98% to the Grifola frondosa extract is 1:2 to 1:5; preferably 1:3. Preferably, the Grifola frondosa polysaccharide content in the Grifola frondosa extract is 10wt% to 30wt%, and as long as the Grifola frondosa polysaccharide content is within the above range, the product can be applied to the above combination of the present application.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present application has the following advantages: (1) The Paracoccus yeei YJY25-02 strain has the ability to produce PQQ at a high yield, and the PQQ titer is 176.7mg / L after 83h of aerobic culture in a fermentation flask, which has a short culture time and a high titer.

[0022] (2) The Paracoccus yeei YJY25-02 strain is aerobically cultured in a fermentation tank for 120 to 144h, the pH is maintained during the fermentation process, and methanol is added to supplement the carbon source, and the PQQ titer is 1796 to 1863mg / L, and the methanol conversion rate is 16.19 to 18.12mg / g; the fermentation time in the fermentation tank is short, the titer is high, and the methanol conversion rate is high, which can solve the problem of large-scale production.

[0023] (3) The PQQ pure product with a purity of ≥98% is prepared by separating and purifying the fermentation broth, and the yield is 80% to 85%, the process is simple, the cost is low, no organic solvent difficult to remove is introduced in the production process, the safety of the product is ensured, and high yield and high purity of the PQQ pure product are achieved.

[0024] (4) The product prepared by compounding the PQQ pure product and the Grifola frondosa extract is proved to have a significant immune-enhancing and anticancer effect by the immune regulation effect on mice, the influence on the growth cycle of tumor cells in vitro, and the inhibition effect on tumor cells in vivo of nude mice, and has a broad market prospect.
