[0003] Bacteriophages can infect and lyse bacteria, and thus, biological control of bacterial diseases and prevention of bacterial diseases by using virulent bacteriophages has become a safe and effective method. Due to the special biological characteristics of bacteriophages, bacteriophages will quickly inactivate in an environment away from the host. This will reduce the prevention and control effect of bacteriophages on bacteria and also bring challenges to the transportation of bacteriophage preparations. Since the use of bacteriophages to treat bacterial diseases has a wide application prospect in various scenes such as agriculture, animal husbandry and aquaculture, the preparation of bacteriophages with a low mortality rate is of great significance to improve the treatment effect of bacteriophages and reduce transportation costs.

[0004] However, at present, the main purpose of the culture and screening of bacteriophages is to obtain bacteriophages with higher virulence, and the culture method of bacteriophages with a low mortality rate is not paid enough attention. The existing acquisition of bacteriophages usually includes isolating lytic bacteriophages from the environment and expanding the culture in the laboratory. The temperature used in the culture process is the suitable growth temperature of the host bacteria, and the bacteriophages and host bacteria are cultured in a co-evolution manner. However, the obtained bacteriophages still have the defect of a high mortality rate. Therefore, it is urgent to provide a culture method capable of reducing the mortality rate of bacteriophages and improving the stability of the low mortality rate, so as to lay a foundation for the development of bacteriophage preparations with a low mortality rate.

In the present application, the bacteriophage is subcultured in a low-temperature environment. In the low-temperature environment, the population size of the bacteria is lower, the virus-bacteria ratio is higher, and the bacteriophage needs to stay outside the host bacteria for a longer time. Only the bacteriophage with a lower mortality rate can survive in the long-term culture process. Compared with the high-temperature evolution culture environment, the mortality rate of the bacteriophage obtained in the low-temperature evolution culture environment of the present application is lower. At the same time, the ancestor bacteria after low-temperature acclimation are used as the host source of the bacteriophage in the culture process, so that the bacteria provided for the bacteriophage in the bacteriophage subculture process are always the bacteria at the initial time point, avoiding the co-evolution of the bacteria and the bacteriophage, and the low mortality rate of the obtained bacteriophage is more stable.

[0054] Test Example 1 Pseudomonas fluorescens bacteriophage SBW25 Φ2 was cultured according to the culture method of Example 4, Comparative Example 1, and Comparative Example 2, respectively.

[0055] 1. Virus-bacteria ratio measurement (1) Measurement of phage density The phage density was measured using a double-layer agar plate method every 4 passages. Specifically, the phage solution was diluted 10 times with sterile water, 100 μL of the diluted solution was mixed with 100 μL of the corresponding acclimated ancestral bacterial culture solution, 5 mL of preheated KB semi-solid culture medium was added, and after mixing, it was poured onto KB solid culture medium and incubated at 28°C for 24 h, and the phage density was calculated.

[0056] (2) Measurement of bacterial density 200 μL of the corresponding acclimated bacterial culture solution after 48 h of cultivation was placed in a 96-well plate. In addition, 200 μL of fresh KB culture solution was placed in a 96-well plate as a blank control. The absorbance value at 600 nm of the culture solution and the control was measured. Based on the linear relationship between the absorbance value and the cell density, the density of the bacterial population was calculated. For Pseudomonas fluorescens, the number of Pseudomonas fluorescens per milliliter of liquid was about 3 billion when the absorbance value was 1.

[0057] (3) Calculation of virus-bacteria ratio during evolution Based on the measured phage density during the passage and the measured bacterial density, the virus-bacteria ratio was calculated every 4 passages, and the average value was calculated as the virus-bacteria ratio during the entire evolution. Each culture method was repeated 6 times, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0058] Table 1 Virus-bacteria ratio of different culture methods

[0059] Based on the data analysis of the relative death rate, it was found that as the virus-bacteria ratio increased, the relative death rate of the phage showed a downward trend (linear regression analysis, the statistical quantities measured at 10°C and 28°C were: F 1,10 = 6.446, P = 0.029; F 1,10 = 12.060, P = 0.006).

[0060] 2. Measurement of phage death rate After the end of the incubation, the death rates of the ancestral phage and the post-incubation phage were measured. The method is as follows: 800 μL of the phage solution was taken in a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube, and at this time, the time T = 0 was counted. The phage solution was placed in an incubator at 10°C and 28°C, respectively, and was left to stand for 48 h, and the time T = 48 h was counted. The double-layer agar culture method was used to measure the phage density N0at T = 0 and the phage density N48h at T = 48 h t , and the death rates of the phage at 10°C and 28°C were calculated based on the density data.

[0061] The formula for calculating the death rate of the phage is: .

[0062] Based on the death rate of the ancestral phage and the death rate of the post-incubation phage , the relative death rate of the phage was calculated.

[0063] The relative death rate of the phage = .

[0064] The value greater than 1 means that the death rate of the post-incubation phage is increased, and the value less than 1 means that the death rate of the post-incubation phage is decreased.

[0065] In order to ensure the normality of the data, the death rate was logarithmically converted before the statistical test was performed, and then the death rates of the post-incubation phage and the ancestral phage were compared using a one-tailed t-test. There were 6 groups of repeats for each incubation method, and the results are shown in Figures 4-6 .

[0066] It can be seen that at the measurement temperature of 28°C, the phage cultured by the incubation method of Example 4 all evolved a lower death rate than the ancestral phage, and the statistical test result was significant (one-tailed t-test: t = -5.835, df = 5, P = 0.001), and among them, the death rates of 4 groups of post-incubation phage at the measurement temperature of 10°C were also lower than those of the ancestral phage, and the statistical test result was marginally significant (one-tailed t-test: t = -1.57, df = 5, P = 0.088).

[0067] The comparative example 1 incubated the Pseudomonas fluorescens phage at a high temperature of 28°C, and at the measurement of 28°C, only 1 group of phage in the treatment showed a lower death rate than the ancestral phage, and the statistical test result was not significant (one-tailed t-test: t = 1.416, df = 5, P = 0.892); at the measurement of 10°C, only 2 groups of phage showed a lower death rate than the ancestral phage at 10°C, and the statistical test result was not significant (one-tailed t-test: t = 1.326, df = 5, P = 0.879).

[0068] The Pseudomonas fluorescens phage and host bacteria were subjected to co-evolution culture at 10℃, and the phages in the 6 groups of treatments all showed higher death rates than the ancestral phage when measured at 28℃ (one-tailed t-test: t=10.249, df=5, P=0.999); the phages in the 4 groups of repeated treatments showed lower death rates than the ancestral phage when measured at 10℃, but the statistical test result was not significant (one-tailed t-test: t=-0.959, df=5, P=0.191).

[0069] It can be seen that the death rate of the phage obtained in the low-temperature evolution culture environment of the application is lower than that in the high-temperature evolution culture environment; and the low death rate of the phage obtained in the low-temperature evolution culture scheme of the application is more stable than that in the low-temperature co-evolution culture method. It is shown that the culture method of the application can significantly reduce the death rate of the phage and improve the stability thereof.

[0070] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the application, and it should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, some improvements and refinements can be made without departing from the principles of the application, and these improvements and refinements should also be considered as falling within the protection scope of the application.
