TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of detection, and particularly relates to a method for synchronously and quantitatively determining Atlantic salmon epithelial cells, kathironella and Vibrio parahaemolyticus in seawater. BACKGROUND
[0002] In marine resource and environmental investigation, it is difficult for the prior art to obtain qualitative and quantitative information of animals, plants, algae and microorganisms within 2 hours, and high timeliness data cannot be provided for scientific research, environmental monitoring, fishery production and other activities. By analyzing the gene information carried in environmental DNA (eDNA), it is possible to provide qualitative and quantitative information of animals, plants, algae and microorganisms in seawater at the same time. In particular, the combination of isothermal gene amplification (LAMP) technology and eDNA technology has paved the way for on-site analysis. However, since the eDNA samples collected from seawater are often complex, so far there is no detection technology that can obtain the amount of complete cells of animals, algae and microorganisms in seawater eDNA on-site, synchronously, qualitatively and quantitatively on a marine investigation ship.
[0003] Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) Salmo salarSalmon is a migratory fish with high economic and ecological value. Adults inhabit the North Atlantic Ocean, and its delicious flesh has made it a core species in global aquaculture. Wild populations play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of river and marine ecosystems. Traditional salmon resource surveys mainly rely on trawl fishing, acoustic detection, and manual counting. These methods have limitations such as high cost, significant disturbance to fish populations, low spatiotemporal resolution, and difficulty in covering complex habitats. eDNA-based technology monitors species by detecting shed material (mainly epithelial cells) in the water. Its advantages include non-invasiveness, high sensitivity, high efficiency, and applicability to large-scale surveys. Recent research progress shows that eDNA combined with gene amplification (such as qPCR and LAMP) can accurately identify fish marker genes (Ramey AM, McKeeman CM, Petrou EL, et al. Environmental DNA as a Tool for Better Understanding the Distribution, Abundance, And Health of Atlantic Salmon and Pacific Salmon. Fisheries, 2024, 49(4): 169-180). Li et al. (Li Y, Xue H, Fei Y, et al. A rapid and closed-tube method based on the dual-color fluorescence loop-mediated isothermal amplification for visual detection of Atlantic salmon) Salmo salar A method for identifying Atlantic salmon using dual-color fluorescence discrimination of LAMP amplification results has recently been developed (Food Chemistry, 2023, 405: 134975). However, this method can only qualitatively detect the presence of the target gene.
[0004] Karenia mikimotoi ( Karenia mikimotoi ☐ is a common, highly toxic red tide algae. When it proliferates in large numbers to form red tides, it produces hemolytic toxins and neurotoxins, leading to mass fish deaths and causing devastating damage to shellfish farming (Wang C, Xu Y, Gu H, et al. Potential geographical distribution of harmful algal blooms caused by the toxic dinoflagellate). Karenia mikimotoiIn the China Sea. Science of the Total Environment, 2024, 906: 167741). Detection and monitoring of *Karenella mikimotoi* mainly rely on microscopic counting, remote sensing, and flow cytometry. These methods have limitations such as high implementation difficulty, time-consuming and labor-intensive methods, and difficulty in achieving accurate quantification. Combining gene analysis and eDNA technology is expected to significantly improve the efficiency of detecting this algae (Jacobs-Palmer E, Gallego R, Cribari K, et al. Environmental DNAmetabarcoding for simultaneous monitoring and ecoLogical assessment of manyharmful algae. Frontiers in EcoLogy and Evolution, 2021, 9: 612107). LAMP technology provides the possibility for rapid, on-site detection of *Karenella mikimotoi* in water bodies (Han X, Zhao T, Yan T, et al. Rapid and sensitive detection of Karenia mikimotoi (by loop-mediated isothermal amplification combined with a lateral flow dipstick. Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022, 29: 24696-24703). However, there is currently no LAMP method for simultaneous qualitative and quantitative determination of Karenia mikimotoi at the survey site.
[0005] Vibrio parahaemolyticus ( Vibrio parahaemolyticus Silver nanoparticles are halophilic Gram-negative bacteria commonly found in estuaries and coastal waters. They are one of the main pathogens causing foodborne gastroenteritis in humans and are also opportunistic pathogens in aquatic organisms such as shrimp and crabs (Yang Q, Hou X, Lu F, et al. Evidently diverse effects of silvernanoparticles on Vibrio parahaemolyticusEnvironmental Science: Nano, 2025, 12(5): 2657-2666). Traditional methods for detecting V. parahaemolyticus in seawater and aquaculture water mainly rely on culture isolation and biochemical identification, which takes several days (Benjakul S, Sukkapat P, Palamae S, et al. Development of colorimetric multiplex loop-mediated isothermal amplification combined with lateral flow dipstick (mLAMP-LFD) assay for the identification of TDH toxin-producing Vibrio parahaemolyticus . Journal of Food Composition and Analysis, 2025, 137:106924). The combination of eDNA technology and LAMP technology is expected to provide a possibility for on-site and efficient detection of V. parahaemolyticus in seawater (Bass D, Christison K W, Stentiford G D, et al. Environmental DNA / RNA for pathogen and parasite detection, surveillance, and ecology. Trends in Parasitology, 2023, 39(4): 285-304). Patent CN201710421611.7 discloses a method for selectively detecting live V. parahaemolyticus in seawater, which includes steps of collecting total bacteria by membrane filtration, treating the collected sample with sodium azide, and determining the target gene by LAMP. Patent CN202410524010.9 discloses a method for detecting live V. parahaemolyticus in estuarine water, which works as follows: In estuarine water samples, there are generally intracellular DNA in living cells and extracellular DNA released from dead cells. In the case of V. parahaemolyticus, both intracellular DNA and extracellular DNA contain its marker gene tlh . When the estuarine water sample is directly added to the preloaded LAMP reaction system (which is used for specific analysis of the target gene of V. parahaemolyticus), the LAMP reaction system can be used to detect the presence of V. parahaemolyticus in the estuarine water sample. tlhAfter the sample (containing LAMP) is added to detection tube M, the tube opening is sealed and placed in a detection channel of the electronic gene amplification instrument's detection unit. The detection channel is heated to 42°C, and a square wave pulse signal with specific parameters is applied to the mixture in detection tube M through the instrument's functional component—a capacitively coupled non-contact conductivity electrode—causing the active bacterial cells to lyse and release intracellular DNA. After the square wave pulse is applied, the total DNA in the mixture includes proto-extracellular DNA and proto-intracellular DNA released from the lysed live cells. When the same estuarine water sample is added to detection tube N pre-filled with LAMP reaction mixture, the tube opening is sealed and placed in another detection channel of the electronic gene amplification instrument, and the temperature is also raised to 42°C, but a square wave pulse signal is not applied to the mixture in the detection tube through the capacitively coupled non-contact conductivity electrode. In this case, the live bacterial cells do not lyse, and the total DNA in the mixture only includes proto-extracellular DNA. The detection channel of the electronic gene amplification instrument is heated to 61°C, and...

T (s) = -260.0Log C The concentration of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in the estuary water sample was calculated as (CFU) + 2704.7, corresponding to the total DNA (extracellular DNA + intracellular DNA released from the lysis of viable Vibrio parahaemolyticus). C total (Unit: CFU / mL) and Vibrio parahaemolyticus concentration corresponding to extracellular DNA C background (Unit: CFU / mL). The concentration difference between the two ( C total - C background The concentration of live Vibrio parahaemolyticus in the sample can then be calculated. C net (Unit: CFU / mL). The entire time from sampling to obtaining the concentration of active Vibrio parahaemolyticus in estuarine water does not exceed 1 hour. However, studies have shown that this specific square wave pulse cannot disrupt animal, plant, and algal cells, and therefore cannot be applied to the development of techniques for simultaneously determining animal, plant, algal, and microbial samples.
[0006] The combination of eDNA technology and LAMP technology provides the possibility of quickly obtaining qualitative and quantitative information of animals, plants, algae and microorganisms on the sea survey site. However, not all ships used for marine resource and environment investigation are professional research vessels, and even if they are professional research vessels, the smaller models cannot carry large and valuable instruments and equipment. Therefore, so far, the international community still needs to develop a universal and efficient marine biological investigation technology applicable to various laboratories and investigation ships. In addition, when data from eDNA is used to infer and calculate the qualitative and quantitative information of marine organisms in seawater, the genetic information from intact cells (usually living cells) is often more valuable and can truly and directly reflect the timely status of the marine ecological environment. Therefore, it is required to detect without interference from free DNA (extracellular DNA) in seawater. SUMMARY
[0007] The present application provides a method for simultaneously and quantitatively determining Atlantic salmon epithelial cells, K. micronesiaca and V. parahaemolyticus in seawater, which can simultaneously qualitatively and quantitatively determine animal cells, algal cells and microbial cells within 2 hours.
[0008] The present application is realized by the following technical scheme: a method for simultaneously determining the number of Atlantic salmon epithelial cells, K. micronesiaca and V. parahaemolyticus in seawater, which is not for the purpose of disease treatment and prevention, extracts eDNA, adds the extracted eDNA into reaction tubes containing LAMP reaction systems targeting Atlantic salmon marker genes Cytb、 K. micronesiaca marker genes ITS2 and V. parahaemolyticus marker genes tlh , then places the reaction tubes into a full-automatic electronic gene amplification analyzer to determine the LAMP biochemical reaction kinetics curves of the Atlantic salmon marker genes Cytb , K. micronesiaca marker genes ITS2 and V. parahaemolyticus marker genes tlh in real time online, reads the slopes of the linear fitting equations corresponding to the exponential phase of the kinetics curves k f , k a and k b , and substitutes them into the formula Log N f (cells / L) = 52.96 k f (mV / s) + 0.27, Log N a (cells / L) = 88.13 k a (mV / s) - 0.54 and LogN b ( cells / L) = 70.79 k b 2 ( mV / s) + 35.67 k b ( mV / s) + 0.70, respectively, the number of Atlantic salmon epithelial cells, Mithraculum karen and Vibrio parahaemolyticus intact cells in the measured seawater sample is calculated N f 、 N a and N b .
[0009] Further, the preparation method of the eDNA is: Step one, the eDNA in seawater is collected on the filter membrane by suction filtration method, the filter membrane is taken out from the suction filtration device, and then is put into the detection tube preloaded with DNase I Buffer, and is incubated in 36℃ water bath with shaking, so that the extracellular DNA attached to the filter membrane is removed by enzymatic hydrolysis; Step two, 10% of triton X-100 by volume is added to the detection tube treated in step one, and the liquid in the detection tube is boiled and kept boiling for 4 min by continuously heating in water bath; Step three, after the treatment in step two, the detection tube is taken out and quickly cooled to obtain a lysis mixture, and the mixture is centrifuged to obtain a supernatant containing dissolved DNA.
[0010] Further, the LAMP reaction system comprises 20 mmol / L Tris-HCl, 10 mmol / L KCl, 10 mmol / L (NH4)2SO4, 6 mmol / L MgSO4, 0.1% Tween 20, 1.4 mmol / L dNTPs, 0.4 mol / L betaine, 8 U / µL DNA polymerase and primers.
[0011] Further, the primer sequence is as shown in SEQ ID NO. 1-16.
[0012] Further, the reaction parameters of the full-automatic electronic gene amplification analyzer are as follows: working temperature 58 ℃, excitation voltage 16 V, excitation frequency 2.0 MHz, signal acquisition period 1 s, and acquisition time length 30 min.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the method of the present application can simultaneously obtain the number of animal (Atlantic salmon), algal (Mithraculum karen) and microbial (Vibrio parahaemolyticus) cells in seawater through simple operation, and ensures the number of intact cells, and the data is not disturbed by the extracellular DNA in the environment.
[0014] This invention establishes highly specific and accurate quantitative algorithm models for three significantly different organisms: aquatic animals (Atlantic salmon), algae (Karenella mikimotoi), and bacteria (Vibrio parahaemolyticus). Through experimental verification, the quantitative relationship between the slope of the exponential phase of the LAMP reaction kinetic curve and the logarithmic value of the cell number was determined for the first time: a linear model for Atlantic salmon and Karenella mikimotoi, and a polynomial model for Vibrio parahaemolyticus.
[0015] These algorithms not only achieve direct conversion from LAMP reaction kinetic signals to the number of intact cells, but also have extremely high coefficients of determination (R² > 0.99), ensuring the reliability of quantitative results. Compared with existing technologies that can usually only achieve qualitative or rough quantitative analysis of a single type of organism, the algorithm system of this invention breaks through the technical barriers caused by differences in biological categories, and can simultaneously output the precise cell concentration of three types of targets within 2 hours, providing a new, efficient, and integrated on-site quantitative monitoring method for marine ecological environment and aquaculture water. This invention, through system optimization, amplifies the LAMP reaction of three different species using the same physicochemical parameters, realizing the simultaneous analysis of three cross-species cell categories; (4) It does not involve large and expensive instruments and equipment, and can be analyzed on-site on marine survey vessels, eliminating the time and cost of sample preservation, turnover, and transportation. The total cycle does not exceed 2 hours, providing high-time data. Attached Figure Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0018] The content of the present application is further explained by the following examples, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited in any form by the examples.
[0019] Example 1: Quantitative working curve of Atlantic salmon epithelial cells Step one, prepare the dispersion solution of Atlantic salmon epithelial single cells.
[0020] The aim of this protocol is to efficiently and gently dissociate the epidermal epithelial tissue of Atlantic salmon into single intact epithelial cells. The first step is Dispase II pretreatment. Dispase II is a neutral protease that specifically hydrolyzes the junction proteins (e.g., collagen type IV, fibronectin) between the cells and the basement membrane, thus completely stripping the whole epithelial tissue from the underlying dermal tissue with minimal damage to the cells themselves. The second step is Accutase digestion. Accutase is a mild dissociation enzyme cocktail containing protease and collagenase activity. It further hydrolyzes the junctions between epithelial cells (e.g., E-cadherin), dispersing the stripped epithelial tissue into single cells, with lower toxicity than traditional trypsin, better ensuring cell integrity and activity.

[0045] 75% ethanol, for bench and instrument sterilization.
[0046] Procedure 1. Turn on the UV light of the biosafety cabinet for 30 min. Turn off the UV light and turn on the fan. Wipe the bench and all the reagent bottles and instruments to be used with 75% ethanol.
[0047] 2. Preheat the water bath to 37°C. Precool the centrifuge to 4°C.
[0048] 3. Take PBS and medium from the 4°C refrigerator. Take one tube of Dispase II working solution from the -20°C refrigerator and place it on ice to thaw slowly. Take Accutase and FBS from the 4°C refrigerator and pre-warm them in a 37°C water bath for about 5 min. After they are completely thawed / warmed, wipe the outer wall with 75% ethanol and place them in the biosafety cabinet.
[0049] 4. Prepare complete medium in the biosafety cabinet and store it at 4°C.
[0050] 5. Prepare the termination solution: add 6 mL of complete medium (FBS final concentration >10% to effectively terminate) into a 15 mL centrifuge tube.
[0051] 6. Take a fresh sample of Atlantic salmon skin and place it in a 90 mm petri dish containing pre-cooled PBS.
[0052] 7. Carefully remove subcutaneous fat and connective tissue with a sterile set of dissecting forceps and scissors.
[0053] 8. Transfer the cleaned fish skin to another petri dish containing fresh pre-cooled PBS and gently shake to wash. Repeat this step 2-3 times until the PBS is clear and blood cells and mucus are removed.
[0054] 9. Transfer the washed fish skin to a new sterile petri dish with the dermis facing down.
[0055] 10. Cut the fish skin into small pieces of about 0.5 cm x 0.5 cm with sterile scalpel blades. The operation should be done quickly to avoid tissue drying.
[0056] 11. Dispase II digestion (4°C overnight): Using sterile forceps, transfer each cut skin piece into a 50 mL centrifuge tube; add enough pre-cooled Dispase II working solution (2.4 U / mL) to the tube to ensure complete submersion of all tissue pieces (about 10-15 mL); cap the tube and place it on a shaker or platform in the 4°C refrigerator for slow shaking (~50 rpm) or static digestion for 16-18 h (overnight). Principle: This step aims to enzymatically digest the basement membrane at the dermal-epidermal junction. The low temperature and long incubation time ensure complete and gentle enzymatic digestion, avoiding damage to the epithelial cells.
[0057] 12. Epidermal tissue isolation: The next day, remove the centrifuge tube from the 4°C and place it in the safety cabinet. Using a wide-bore sterile pipette or forceps, gently transfer the skin pieces into another Petri dish containing pre-cooled PBS; using two fine dissecting forceps, one to hold the dermal layer and the other to gently peel the upper smooth, translucent epidermal tissue from the dermis, collect it into a new 15 mL centrifuge tube. Add 10 mL of pre-cooled PBS and wash the epidermal tissue by gently inverting the tube 3-5 times. Centrifuge at 200 x g for 5 min at 4°C, carefully discard the supernatant and remove residual Dispase II.
[0058] 13. Accutase digestion (37°C, 30-45 min): Add 3-5 mL of pre-warmed Accutase® solution to the pelleted epidermal tissue. Gently pipette the tissue pieces several times with a pipette to ensure complete contact with the enzyme solution. Cap the tube tightly and place it in a 37°C water bath for 30-45 min. Every 10 min, remove it and gently pipette (avoiding air bubbles) 10-15 times with a 1 mL pipette in the safety cabinet to aid mechanical dispersion.
[0059] 14. Stop digestion and initial filtration: After the incubation period, the solution should appear cloudy and viscous to the naked eye. Pipette an equal volume of pre- aliquoted stop solution (complete medium with FBS) into the tube and mix gently to stop the Accutase digestion reaction. Repeat the gentle pipetting of the mixture at least 20-30 times with a 5 mL pipette until no large tissue clumps are visible.
[0060] 15. Filter the cell suspension through a pre-wetted 70 μm nylon cell strainer into a new 50 mL centrifuge tube. Rinse the original digestion tube and strainer with 5-10 mL of complete medium to recover all cells.
[0061] 16. Centrifugal washing: Centrifuge the filtered cell suspension at 200 x g for 8 min at 4°C. Carefully discard the supernatant, taking care not to disturb the cell pellet at the bottom. Resuspend the cell pellet with 10 mL of pre-chilled complete medium, and centrifuge again at 200 x g for 5 min at 4°C. Repeat this washing step once to completely remove residual enzymes and cell debris.
[0062] 17. Cell resuspension: Add an appropriate amount (e.g., 1-2 mL) of pre-chilled complete medium to the cell pellet according to the expected cell yield, and gently resuspend the cells thoroughly with a pipette to obtain a single-cell epithelial cell suspension.
[0063] 18. Cell density determination: Place the cell suspension on ice, and take 10 μL to a Countess cell counting chamber. Insert the counting chamber into the instrument, and the total cell concentration (cells / L) is automatically calculated and displayed.
[0064] 19. Dilute the cell suspension to 1 x 10 6 cells / L, 1 x 10 5 cells / L, 1 x 10 4 cells / L, 1 x 10 3 cells / L, 1 x 10 2 cells / L, and 1 x 10 1 cells / L, respectively, for standby use.
[0065] Step two, removal of extracellular DNA (free DNA) from the Atlantic salmon epithelial single-cell suspension.
[0066] Transfer 1 mL of each concentration gradient of the cell suspension into a glass tube (10 mm inner diameter) pre-loaded with 10 mL of DNase I Buffer. The DNase I Buffer consists of 40 mM Tris-HCl, 6 mM MgCl2, 2 mM CaCl2, and 6 U / mL of the nuclease DNase I. Insert the glass tube into the heating hole of a metal bath, and incubate at 36°C for 10 min with vortexing for 5 s every 2 min. Remove the extracellular DNA (free DNA) attached to the filter membrane by enzymatic digestion.
[0067] Step three, release the intracellular DNA by boiling method. Add 1 mL 10% triton X-100 into each glass tube, continue to heat until the liquid in the glass tube boils, and keep boiling for 4 min. During this process, the DNA in the Atlantic salmon epithelial cells will be released and the DNA binding proteins will be denatured to separate from the DNA under the combined action of triton X-100 (a “mild” ionic surfactant that helps to dissolve the cell membrane and nuclear membrane by destroying the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane) and high temperature of 100 ℃. At the same time, the nuclease DNase I is denatured and inactivated during the heating process to avoid damaging the DNA released by cell lysis.
[0068] Step four, prepare the supernatant containing soluble DNA. After step three, take out each glass tube and place it in an ice water mixture to rapidly cool down to obtain the lysis mixture. Then use a pipette to take 2 mL of the lysis mixture and evenly divide it into two 1.5 mL centrifuge tubes, and place them in a handheld centrifuge at 2000 x g for 2 min to precipitate the solid particles, cell debris, denatured proteins, etc. to the bottom of the centrifuge tube, ensuring effective precipitation without loss or damage to the DNA, to obtain supernatant containing a series of concentrations of dissolved DNA to provide templates for the LAMP reaction below.
[0069] Step five, prepare the LAMP biochemical system targeting the Atlantic salmon marker gene Cytb . Prepare 6 portions of LAMP biochemical reaction mixture with a total volume of 90 μL, each containing 20 mmol / L Tris-HCl, 10 mmol / L KCl, 10 mmol / L (NH4)2SO4, 6 mmol / L MgSO4, 0.1% Tween 20, 1.4 mmol / L dNTPs, 0.4 mol / L betaine, 8 U / µL Bst 2.0 WarmStart DNA polymerase and primers. Primer concentration: 1.6 μmol / L FIP and BIP, 0.8 μmol / L LB and LF, 0.2 μmol / L F3 and B3. The sequences of each primer are shown in Table 1.
[0070] Table 1 LAMP primer base sequences targeting Cytb the gene .
[0071] 2, each of the above reaction mixtures is placed in a detection tube, then 10 μL of the supernatant obtained in step four is added to each of the six detection tubes using a microsyringe, and the detection tube is sealed with a rubber plug. The detection tubes are labeled as F1, F2, F3, F4, F5 and F6, respectively, corresponding to 1 x 10 11 x 10 2 1 x 10 3 1 x 10 4 1 x 10 5 1 x 10 6 1 x 10 p 1 x 10 n .
[0072] Step six, prepare the electronic gene amplification analyzer. Open the working interface of the special software "EA-Staz" on the computer controlling the analyzer, and set the parameters of the electronic gene amplification analyzer as follows: working temperature 58 ℃, excitation voltage 16V, excitation frequency 2.0 MHz, signal acquisition period 1 s, and acquisition duration 30 min. Turn on the temperature rise, and it will rise to the preset temperature in about 15 min.
[0073] Step seven, determine the LAMP reaction kinetics curve. Put each test tube prepared in step six (including negative and positive controls) into a detection channel of the electronic gene amplification analyzer which has been warmed to 58 ℃, and click the "Start" key on the working interface of the special software "EA-Staz" to start recording and displaying the LAMP reaction kinetics curve in each test tube in real time.
[0074] Step eight, judge whether the biochemical reaction system is normal. The determination results are shown in Figure 2 .

[0080] Example 2: Quantitative working curve of K. micronesiama; Step one, preparation of uniform K. micronesiama suspension.

The culture bottle was taken out and shaken gently to make the algal cells uniformly suspended. 9 mL of algal suspension was taken with a single-channel pipette (range 0-10 mL, product of Eppendorf) into a 50 mL centrifuge tube.
[0081] Step two, removal of extracellular DNA (free DNA) in K. micronesiama suspension. 1 mL of 10×DNase I Buffer was added to the 50 mL centrifuge tube containing 9 mL of algal suspension. The composition of DNase I Buffer is 40 mM Tris-HCl, 6 mM MgCl2, 2 mM CaCl2 and 6 U / mL nuclease DNase I. Mix gently with a pipette. Incubate in a constant temperature metal bath at 37°C for 30 min.
[0082] Step three, determination of concentration by hemocytometer method. 100 µL of DNase I treated algal suspension was taken and diluted 100-fold with 900 µL of ultrapure water. 10 µL of diluted algal suspension was mixed with 10 µL of Lugol's iodine solution (1%, Beijing Belo Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) in an EP tube, and left to stand for 2 min to fix the cells. 10 µL of fixed mixture was taken with a pipette and slowly and accurately filled into the counting chamber of a hemocytometer to avoid air bubbles or overflow. The counting chamber was placed under an optical microscope (10× objective) for observation. The total number of algal cells in four corner squares (each square contains 16 small squares) and the central square, a total of five squares, was counted and converted to a concentration of 5.0×10 8 cells / L.

Add 100 μL 10% triton X-100 into each glass tube, continue to heat until the liquid in the glass tube boils, and keep boiling for 4 min. During this process, the DNA in the cells of K. micella is released and the DNA binding proteins are denatured to separate from the DNA under the combined action of triton X-100 (a “mild” ionic surfactant that helps to dissolve the cell membrane and nuclear membrane by destroying the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane) and high temperature of 100°C.

The positive control is a semi-parabolic curve, and the negative control is an approximately horizontal line, indicating that the LAMP amplification is normal, and the biochemical system is not contaminated by nucleic acids.
[0106] Step nine, analyze the data and determine the quantitative working curve 1. Click the "Integrated Area" key on the working interface of the special software "EA-Staz" to read out the integral areas S B1 , S B2 , S B3 , S B4 , S B5 and S B6 corresponding to the LAMP reaction kinetics curves of B1, B2, B3, B4, B5 and B6 respectively, which are 1413.80 V·s, 1174.76 V·s, 979.59 V·s, 691.04 V·s, 389.54 V·s and 164.05 V·s respectively.

R 2
[0111] Example A method for simultaneously determining the number of Atlantic salmon epithelial cells, K. micronesica and Vibrio parahaemolyticus in seawater, which specifically comprises the following steps: Step one, the eDNA in seawater is collected on the filter membrane by suction filtration method. 2 L of target seawater is filtered by negative pressure suction filtration method based on suction filtration bottle, Buchner funnel, filter membrane and vacuum pump, and the particulate matter and cells including plant and animal debris, algae and microorganisms in seawater are intercepted on the surface of the filter membrane. The filter membrane is a mixed cellulose ester filter membrane with a pore size of 0.45 μm (diameter 47 mm), which ensures the interception of bacteria and eukaryotic cells; the filtration pressure is ≤-0.08 MPa to prevent mechanical damage to the cells. After filtering the seawater, 1 L of pure water is added to the Buchner funnel and continues to be filtered to remove soluble inorganic and organic salts and eliminate the negative effects of high salt content on subsequent operations.
[0112] Step two, removing extracellular DNA (free DNA). The filter membrane was taken out of the suction filtration device, and was folded with the help of sterile tweezers, and then was put into a glass tube (inner diameter 10 mm) preloaded with 10 mL DNase I Buffer. The composition of DNase I Buffer was 40 mM Tris-HCl, 6 mM MgCl2, 2 mM CaCl2and 6 U / mL nuclease DNase I. The glass tube was inserted into the heating hole of the metal bath, and was incubated at 36℃ for 10 min, and was vortexed for 5 s every 2 min. The purpose of this operation was to remove the extracellular DNA (free DNA) attached to the filter membrane by enzymatic hydrolysis.
[0113] Step three, releasing DNA in the cells of animals, plants, algae and microorganisms by boiling method. After step two, 1 mL 10% triton X-100 was added to the glass tube, and the liquid in the glass tube was boiled, and was kept boiling for 4 min. During this process, under the combined action of triton X-100 (a “mild” ionic surfactant, which helps to dissolve the cell membrane and nuclear membrane by destroying the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane) and high temperature of 100℃, the DNA in the intact cells of animals, plants, algae and microorganisms was released, and the DNA-binding proteins were denatured, so that the two were separated. At the same time, the nuclease DNase I was denatured and inactivated during the heating process, so as to avoid damaging the DNA released by cell lysis.
[0114] Step four, preparing supernatant containing soluble DNA. After step three, the glass tube was taken out and was quickly cooled in an ice-water mixture to obtain a lysis mixture. Then 2 mL of the lysis mixture was taken by using a pipette, and was evenly divided into two 1.5 mL centrifuge tubes, and was centrifuged at 2000 x g for 2 min in a handheld centrifuge, so that the solid particles, cell debris, denatured proteins, etc. were precipitated at the bottom of the centrifuge tube, and the DNA was effectively precipitated without loss or damage, and the supernatant containing dissolved DNA was obtained to provide a template for the following LAMP reaction.
[0115] Step five, preparing LAMP reaction mixtures respectively targeting the marker genes of Atlantic salmon Cytb , karen cluster ITS2 and Vibrio parahaemolyticus tlhLAMP biochemical system. In each disposable glass capillary detection tube (outer diameter 2.6 mm, inner diameter 1 mm, hereinafter referred to as detection tube), a total volume of 90 μL of LAMP biochemical reaction mixture was preloaded, and the mixture contained 20 mmol / L Tris-HCl, 10 mmol / L KCl, 10 mmol / L (NH4)2SO4, 6 mmol / L MgSO4, 0.1% Tween 20, 1.4 mmol / L dNTPs, 0.4 mol / L betaine, 8 U / µL Bst 2.0 WarmStart DNA polymerase and primers. Among them, Bst 2.0 WarmStart DNA polymerase is inactive at room temperature and is activated at 58°C to avoid non-specific amplification; betaine is used to stabilize the secondary structure of DNA and promote strand displacement. Primers are targeted at the marker genes of Cytb K. micronesica ITS2 and V. parahaemolyticus tlh.
[0116] Cytb Gene primer concentration: 1.6 μmol / L of FIP and BIP, 0.8 μmol / L of LB and LF, and 0.2 μmol / L of F3 and B3. The sequences of each primer are listed in Table 1.
[0117] ITS2 Gene primer concentration: 1.6 μmol / L of FIP and BIP, 0.2 μmol / L of F3 and B3. The sequences of each primer are listed in Table 2.
[0118] tlh Gene primer concentration: 1.6 μmol / L of FIP and BIP, 0.8 μmol / L of LB and LF, and 0.2 μmol / L of F3 and B3. The sequences of each primer are listed in Table 3.
[0119] Step six, prepare the detection tube. Use a microsyringe to take 10 μL of the supernatant obtained in step four, and add it to the LAMP biochemical detection tube targeting the marker genes of Cytb K. micronesica ITS2 and V. parahaemolyticus tlh prepared in step five, and use a rubber plug to seal the detection tube. The detection tubes are labeled as T f , T a and T b , respectively. Atlantic salmon genomic DNA, K. micronesica genomic DNA and V. parahaemolyticus genomic DNA are used as positive controls, and the detection tubes are labeled as P f , P a and P b; the pure water without DNA contamination as negative control, and the test tube was marked as N c .
[0120] Step seven, prepare the electronic gene amplification analyzer. Open the working interface of the special software "EA-Staz", and set the parameters of the electronic gene amplification analyzer as follows: working temperature 58 ℃, excitation voltage 16 V, excitation frequency 2.0 MHz, signal acquisition period 1 s, and acquisition time length 30 min. Turn on the temperature rise, and it takes about 15 min to rise to the preset temperature.
[0121] Step eight, determine the LAMP reaction kinetics curve. Put each test tube prepared in step six (including negative and positive controls) into a detection channel of the electronic gene amplification analyzer which has been warmed to 58 ℃, and click the "Start" key on the working interface of the special software "EA-Staz" to start recording and displaying the LAMP reaction kinetics curve in each test tube in real time. The working principle of this step is as follows: since LAMP uses at least 2 pairs of primers to recognize 6 sites of base sequences, it has high specificity and can accurately identify target genes to achieve qualitative determination. During the LAMP reaction, every pair of base doublets synthesized generates 4 H + with strong ion conductivity, causing an increase in the electrical conductivity of the reaction mixture. This increase is recorded by the sensitive component of the electronic gene amplification analyzer, the capacitive coupling non-contact conductivity sensor, and plotted against the reaction time to generate a biochemical reaction kinetics curve. The kinetics curve parameters and the copy number of the template gene and the number of biological cells have a stable functional relationship, which can achieve quantitative detection.
[0122] Step nine, calculate the number of intact cells to be tested. After the LAMP reaction kinetics curves of T f , T a , T b , P f , P a , P b and N c tubes are determined, click the "First-order Derivative" key on the working interface of the special software "EA-Staz" to read the linear fitting equation slope of the exponential phase of the LAMP reaction kinetics curve of T f , T a and T b respectively. k f , k a and k b . Substitute the linear fitting equation slope into the formula Log N f (cells / L)= 52.96 k f (mV / s) + 0.27, Log N a (cells / L) = 88.13 k a (mV / s) - 0.54 and Log N b (cells / L) = 70.79 k b 2 (mV / s) + 35.67 k b (mV / s) + 0.70, the number of Atlantic salmon epithelial cells, K. micronesiaca and V. parahaemolyticus intact cells in the measured seawater sample N f , N a and N b are calculated. Note: the positive controls P f , P a and P b should be a front half parabolic curve, and the negative control N c should be an approximate horizontal line. If the positive control is an approximate horizontal line, it means that the LAMP biochemical reaction system is abnormal; if the negative control is a front half parabolic curve, it indicates that the LAMP biochemical reaction system is contaminated by non-target genes. In these two cases, the results of this determination are invalid, and should be re-determined after the cause is found.
[0123] Example 5: Monitoring of Atlantic salmon epithelial cells, K. micronesiaca and V. parahaemolyticus in the net cage seawater of the aquaculture work ship "Guoxin No. 1" Step one, sample collection. In July 2025, 2 L of surface seawater was collected in the net cage of the aquaculture work ship "Guoxin No. 1".
[0124] Step two, eDNA collection by suction filtration. On site, a negative pressure suction filtration method based on a suction filtration bottle, a Buchner funnel, a filter membrane and a vacuum pump was used to filter seawater, and particles and cells including animal and plant debris, algae and microorganisms in seawater were intercepted on the surface of the filter membrane. The filter membrane was a 0.45 μm mixed cellulose ester filter membrane (diameter 47 mm) to ensure the interception of bacteria and eukaryotic cells; the filtration pressure was -0.08 MPa to prevent mechanical damage to the cells. After filtering the seawater, 1 L of pure water was added to the Buchner funnel and continued to be filtered to remove soluble inorganic and organic salts and eliminate the negative effects of high salinity on subsequent operations.
[0125] Step three, removing extracellular DNA (free DNA). The filter membrane was taken out of the filtration device, and was folded with the help of sterile forceps, and then was put into a glass tube (10 mm in inner diameter) preloaded with 10 mL DNase I Buffer. The DNase I Buffer was composed of 40 mM Tris-HCl, 6 mM MgCl2, 2 mM CaCl2, and 6 U / mL nuclease DNase I. The glass tube was inserted into the heating hole of a metal bath, and was incubated at 36℃ for 10 min, and was vortexed for 5 s every 2 min. The purpose of this operation was to remove the extracellular DNA (free DNA) attached to the filter membrane by enzymatic hydrolysis.
[0126] Step four, lysing the intact cells to release DNA. After step three, 1 mL of 10% Triton X-100 was added to the glass tube, and the liquid in the glass tube was boiled, and was kept boiling for 4 min. In this process, under the combined action of Triton X-100 (a “mild” ionic surfactant that helps to dissolve the cell membrane and nuclear membrane by destroying the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane) and 100℃ high temperature, the DNA in the intact cells of animals, plants, algae and microorganisms was released, and the DNA-binding proteins were denatured, so that the two were separated. At the same time, the nuclease DNase I was denatured and inactivated during the heating process, so as to avoid damaging the DNA released by cell lysis.
[0127] Step five, preparing the supernatant containing soluble DNA. The glass tube treated in step three was taken out and was quickly cooled in an ice-water mixture to obtain a cell lysis mixture. Then 2 mL of the lysis mixture was taken with a pipette, and was evenly divided into two 1.5 mL centrifuge tubes, and was centrifuged at 2000 x g for 2 min in a handheld centrifuge, so that the solid particles, cell debris, denatured proteins, etc. were precipitated at the bottom of the centrifuge tube, and the DNA was effectively precipitated without loss or damage, and the supernatant containing dissolved DNA was obtained to provide a template for the LAMP reaction below.
[0128] Step six, preparing LAMP biochemical systems respectively targeting the Atlantic salmon marker gene Cytb , the K. micronesiaca marker gene ITS2 , and the V. parahaemolyticus marker gene tlh . In each detection tube, 90 μL of LAMP biochemical reaction mixture was preloaded, and the mixture contained 20 mmol / L Tris-HCl, 10 mmol / L KCl, 10 mmol / L (NH4)2SO4, 6 mmol / L MgSO4, 0.1% Tween 20, 1.4 mmol / L dNTPs, 0.4 mol / L betaine, 8 U / µL Bst2.0 WarmStart DNA Polymerase and primers. Among them, Bst 2.0 WarmStart DNA Polymerase is inactive at room temperature and activated at 58℃, avoiding non-specific amplification; betaine is used to stabilize the secondary structure of DNA and promote strand displacement. The concentrations and sequences of primers targeting Atlantic salmon marker gene Cytb , Karenia mikimotoi marker gene ITS2 and Vibrio parahaemolyticus marker gene tlh are the same as the first three examples.
[0129] Step seven, prepare the detection tube. Use a microsyringe (50 µL, Shanghai Gaoge Trading Co., Ltd. product) to take 10 µL of the supernatant obtained in step five, and add it to the LAMP biochemical reaction detection tube prepared in step six targeting Atlantic salmon marker gene Cytb , Karenia mikimotoi marker gene ITS2 and Vibrio parahaemolyticus marker gene tlh , and use a rubber plug to seal the detection tube. The detection tubes are labeled as T f , T a and T b . 10 μg / mL of Atlantic salmon genomic DNA, Karenia mikimotoi genomic DNA and Vibrio parahaemolyticus genomic DNA are used as positive controls, and the detection tubes are labeled as N f , N a and N b . Pure water without DNA contamination is used as a negative control, and the detection tube is labeled as N c .
[0130] Step eight, prepare the electronic gene amplification analyzer. Open the working interface of the special software "EA-Staz" and set the parameters of the electronic gene amplification analyzer as follows: working temperature 58 ℃, excitation voltage 16 V, excitation frequency 2.0 MHz, signal acquisition period 1 s, and acquisition time 30 min. Turn on the temperature rise, and it will rise to the preset temperature in about 15 min.
[0131] Step nine, determine the LAMP reaction kinetics curve. Place the seven detection tubes prepared in step eight (including negative and positive controls) into the electronic gene amplification analyzer which has been warmed to 58℃ in one detection channel. Click the "Start" key on the working interface of the special software "EA-Staz" to record and display the kinetics curve of the LAMP reaction in each detection tube in real time.
[0132] Step ten, judge whether the biochemical reaction system is normal. The determination results are shown in Figure 5 . All three positive controls are parabolic curves, and one negative control is an approximate horizontal line, indicating that the LAMP amplification is normal and the biochemical system is not contaminated by nucleic acids.
[0133] Step eleven, click the "First-order Derivative" key on the working interface of the special software "EA-Staz", read out the T f , T a and T b respectively c LAMP reaction kinetics curve exponential phase linear fitting equation slope k f , k a and k b . The linear fitting equation slope is respectively substituted into the formula Log N f (cells / L) = 52.96 k f (mV / s) + 0.27, Log N a (cells / L) = 88.13 k a (mV / s) - 0.54 and Log N b (cells / L) = 70.79 k b 2 (mV / s) + 35.67 k b (mV / s) + 0.70, the number of the Atlantic salmon epithelial cells, Karenia mikimotoi and Vibrio parahaemolyticus intact cells in the measured seawater sample N f , N a and N b are respectively 37 cells / L, 50 cells / L and 108 cells / L.
