[0039] Example 4: Analysis of protease and amylase activities of strain HY6 under different conditions
[0040] The preserved strain HY6 was inoculated into fresh beef extract peptone liquid medium and cultured in a shaker at 200 rpm / min and 37°C until the bacterial liquid concentration reached OD600=0.6. Then the cultured bacterial liquid was centrifuged at 4°C and 4000 rpm for 10 min in a refrigerated centrifuge to collect the bacterial cells, which were resuspended with an equal volume of sterile normal saline to obtain a bacterial suspension of strain HY6.
[0041] (1) The bacteria suspension was inoculated into liquid beef extract peptone medium with different pH values (6.0, 6.5, 7.0 and 7.5) at an inoculation amount of 3%, and was cultured at 37°C for 12 hours. The supernatant obtained by centrifugation at 4°C and 4000 rpm for 10 minutes was the crude enzyme solution. The mixed solution was prepared according to Table 1, and the absorbance was measured at 660 nm. The standard curve of starch content was prepared with the starch content as the abscissa and the absorbance as the ordinate. The mixed solution was prepared according to tube No. 6, and the absorbance was measured. According to the standard curve, the starch degradation rate under different pH conditions was calculated. 1 mL of the crude enzyme solution was added to 4 mL of a diluent containing 1% casein, and was incubated at 37°C for 1 hour. The protein content was determined by using a BCA protein concentration determination kit (Bi Yun Tian).
[0042]
[0043] Table 1
[0044] (2) The bacteria suspension was inoculated into beef extract peptone medium with natural pH value at an inoculation amount of 3%, and was cultured at 16°C, 28°C, 37°C and 40°C for 12 hours. The supernatant obtained by centrifugation at 4°C and 4000 rpm for 10 minutes was the crude enzyme solution. The amylase and protease activities of HY6 at different temperatures were determined according to the method described in (1). The results of the starch degradation rate and the protein degradation rate of strain HY6 under different pH and temperature conditions are shown in Table 2.
[0045] As can be seen from Table 2, under the conditions of 37°C and pH 6.0-7.5, the starch degradation rate of strain HY6 was the highest at pH 6.5, which was 40.29%, and the protein degradation rate was the highest at pH 7.5, which was 83.71%. Under the natural pH value and 28°C culture conditions, the starch and protein degradation rates of strain HY6 were the highest, which were 43.81% and 81.03%, respectively.

[0048] Example 5: Application of strain HY6 in improving the quality of modified cigar tobacco leaves
[0049] The HY6 bacteria suspension obtained in Example 4 was uniformly sprayed on the surface of the test cigar tobacco leaves, and the inoculation amount was 1×10 6CFU / g, and the control was treated with an equal amount of sterile water. The moisture content of the cigar leaves was balanced to about 40%, and then the cigar leaves were placed in a constant temperature and humidity box at 37°C and 80% humidity for fermentation for 15 days. After fermentation, part of the tobacco leaves were dried, ground and sieved through a 40-mesh sieve. The protein content of the tobacco leaves was determined by the BCA-TCA method (Zhai Yuchen et al., 2017), and the starch content of the tobacco leaves was determined by the iodine colorimetric method (He Qifang et al., 2012). The results showed that the protein contents of the tobacco leaves treated with the bacterial solution and sterile water were 7.63% and 9.38%, respectively, and the degradation rates of the protein contents of the tobacco leaves before fermentation were 30.89% and 15.04%, respectively. The starch contents of the tobacco leaves treated with the bacterial solution and sterile water were 0.91% and 1.26%, respectively, and the degradation rates of the starch contents of the tobacco leaves before fermentation were 38.51% and 14.86%, respectively. It was indicated that the addition of strain HY6 could effectively degrade the protein and starch contents in the cigar leaves and accelerate the fermentation process. The remaining tobacco leaf samples were rolled into cigar sticks with a 35-ring diameter and a length of 10 cm for sensory evaluation. After sensory evaluation, it was found that the addition of strain HY6 could significantly reduce the green and harsh odor of the tobacco leaves and improve the aroma.

It should be noted that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, several modifications and improvements can be made, and the present application also intends to include these modifications and improvements.
