Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of biological sample preservation technology, and in particular to a preservation solution for stable preservation of sample DNA at room temperature and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Fecal samples contain rich microbial information, which is of great significance for studying the structure and function of the gut microbiota and for the diagnosis of related diseases. Stable preservation of DNA is a crucial step in the analysis of fecal samples. However, many problems currently exist in this field.

[0003] On the one hand, fecal samples have a complex composition, rich in various enzymes, microbial metabolites, and metal ions, which can easily lead to DNA degradation at room temperature. While existing preservation methods, such as cryopreservation, can delay DNA degradation to some extent, they suffer from high costs and inconvenient transportation, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale and convenient testing.

[0004] On the other hand, during the lysis of Gram-negative bacteria to release DNA, existing preservation solutions and lysis methods often fail to achieve efficient lysis while fully preserving the integrity of nucleic acids. Common lysis agents, such as single surfactants or traditional acid-base reagents, either have low lysis efficiency or cause irreversible damage to nucleic acids, affecting the accuracy of subsequent molecular biological detection results. Furthermore, most existing patented products are relatively simple in composition and mechanism of action, failing to comprehensively and effectively address the complex characteristics of fecal samples. Therefore, there is an urgent practical need to develop a novel fecal sample DNA preservation solution that can achieve long-term stable preservation of DNA at room temperature, efficiently lyse Gram-negative bacteria, and ensure nucleic acid integrity.

The sample DNA preservation solution of this invention achieves the following beneficial effects:

[0063] 1. Long-term DNA stability: Through the synergistic effect of a novel antioxidant chelating agent (AHPCD) and a saccharide polymer protectant (DS), combined with a well-defined concentration ratio, the degradation of DNA by various adverse factors in fecal samples is effectively resisted, enabling stable preservation of DNA at room temperature for up to two years.

Highly Efficient Lysis and Guaranteed Nucleic Acid Integrity: The innovative combination and quantitative ratio design of the composite surfactants (PEFA and CAPHSB) and enzymatic hydrolysis aids (Lyso-V and Proteinase K) significantly improves the lysis efficiency against Gram-negative bacteria. Simultaneously, due to the low-damage characteristics of each component to nucleic acids and the synergistic ratio control, the integrity of the released DNA is fully guaranteed while efficiently lysing bacteria. This provides high-quality nucleic acid templates for subsequent molecular biology assays such as PCR amplification and next-generation sequencing, improving the accuracy and reliability of the test results.

[0065] 3. Unique composition and mechanism of action: Compared with existing patented products, the preservation solution of this invention clearly defines the specific raw materials of PEFA, the preparation method of Lyso-V, the specific types of AHPCD and the chemical parameters of DS. Combined with the synergistic ratio of key components, it forms a unique multi-dimensional mechanism of action from lysing bacteria to protecting nucleic acids.

[0066] Meanwhile, the innovative extraction method of lysozyme Lyso-V, one of the enzymatic hydrolysis aids in the DNA preservation solution of the present invention, is significantly superior to the traditional Lyso-V extraction method in key indicators such as enzyme expression level, purity, and recovery rate, and has stronger batch stability, making it suitable for large-scale preparation.

[0106] Preferably, the extraction method of the lysozyme Lyso-V includes the following steps:

[0107] S1. After the bacterial cells in the fermentation broth were precipitated, they were crushed and centrifuged under ultrasonic conditions of 300W power, 3s working time, 5s intermittent time, and a total duration of 30min to obtain crude enzyme solution.

[0108] S2. The crude enzyme solution was subjected to DEAE-52 ion exchange chromatography and Sephadex G-75 gel filtration chromatography to obtain lysozyme Lyso-V.

[0109] Preferably, S0 is performed before S1. The strain Bacillus subtilis (strain number BNCC109047) is used. Bacillus subtilis The seed culture was inoculated into a fermentation medium containing 10 g / L peptone, 5 g / L yeast extract, 10 g / L NaCl, 2 g / L glucose, and pH 7.2, and fermented at 37°C and 200 r / min for 48 h.

[0110] Preferably, in S0, the seed liquid is obtained through the following steps: preserving Bacillus subtilis strain number BNCC109047 (… Bacillus subtilis Inoculate onto LB solid medium and incubate at 37°C for 18-24 hours to activate; pick a single colony and inoculate onto LB liquid medium, incubate at 37°C with shaking at 180 rpm for 24 hours.

[0112] Preferably, the bacterial cell pellet is washed twice with PBS buffer at pH 7.0 before being lysed;

[0114] Preferably, in S2, the elution conditions for DEAE-52 ion exchange chromatography are as follows: using PBS buffer with 0-0.5 mol / L NaCl as the elution solution, and performing gradient elution.

[0115] This set of examples addresses the industry pain points of low extraction efficiency, significant activity loss, and insufficient purity of lysozyme Lyso-V from Bacillus subtilis (strain number BNCC109047). Based on traditional extraction processes, three key innovations are achieved, as follows:

[0116] I. Fermentation Medium Optimization: Precise control of carbon source supply significantly improves enzyme expression, solving the following pain points of existing technologies: Traditional lysozyme fermentation often uses basic LB medium (10g / L peptone, 5g / L yeast extract, 10g / L NaCl, pH 7.2). This formula can only meet the basic metabolic needs of the strain, and has two major problems:

[0117] (i) Carbon source deficiency leads to enzyme production stagnation in the later stage of fermentation: After the logarithmic growth phase of Bacillus subtilis for 48 hours of fermentation, it will enter the stationary phase due to carbon source depletion, and the enzyme synthesis efficiency will drop sharply, with the final Lyso-V expression level being only 600-700 U / mL.

[0118] (ii) Nutritional imbalance leads to insufficient bacterial activity: When a specific carbon source is lacking, the strain will preferentially consume its own reserves to maintain survival rather than synthesize the target enzyme, and is prone to producing miscellaneous proteins (such as proteases), which increases the difficulty of subsequent purification.

[0119] The optimized solution of this invention is to precisely add 2 g / L glucose to the basic LB medium to form a synergistic nutritional system of "peptone-yeast extract-glucose". The specific design logic is as follows:

[0120] Carbon source dosage control: 2 g / L glucose avoids premature carbon source depletion caused by low dose (<1 g / L) and prevents the increase in culture medium osmotic pressure caused by high dose (>3 g / L) (osmotic pressure >300 mOsm / kg will inhibit cell growth).

[0121] Nutritional release matching: Glucose, as a fast-acting carbon source, can form a "step-by-step nutrient supply" with peptone (a slow-acting nitrogen source) and yeast extract (growth factor) - in the early stage, glucose provides rapid energy to promote cell proliferation, and in the later stage, peptone slowly decomposes to provide nitrogen source to support enzyme synthesis, ensuring that enzyme synthesis continues throughout the 48-hour fermentation cycle.

[0122] pH stability regulation: The small amount of organic acids produced by glucose metabolism can be buffered by NaCl in the culture medium to maintain a stable pH of 7.0-7.2 (the optimal pH range for Lyso-V synthesis), avoiding pH fluctuations (±0.5) caused by metabolic imbalance in traditional glucose-free cultured bacteria.

[0123] II. Ultrasonic Parameter Control: Precisely balancing cell disruption rate and enzyme activity protection, solving the following pain points of existing technologies: Bacillus subtilis has a relatively thick cell wall (including a peptidoglycan layer approximately 20-40 nm thick), and traditional ultrasonic disruption processes suffer from the dilemma of "insufficient disruption" or "significant loss of enzyme activity":

[0124] (a) Low power / short time disruption: For example, continuous ultrasonication at 200W power for 20 minutes results in a cell disruption rate of only 70%, a low crude enzyme yield (only 0.22g / L), and a large amount of enzyme protein remaining in the unbroken cells;

[0125] (ii) High power / long duration of crushing: For example, continuous ultrasonication at 400W power for 40 minutes can achieve a crushing rate of 95%, but the local high temperature (>45℃) and mechanical shear force generated during the ultrasonication process will cause Lyso-V denaturation, resulting in an activity loss of 15%-20% (enzyme activity drops from 1000U / mg to below 800U / mg).

[0126] The optimized solution of this invention adopts a precise combination of ultrasonic parameters: "300W power + 3s working / 5s intermittent + total duration of 30min". The core design logic is as follows:

[0127] Power matching bacterial cell characteristics: 300W power is the "critical disruption power" of Bacillus subtilis cell wall - it can destroy the peptidoglycan structure of cell wall through mechanical vibration, but will not tear the spatial structure of enzyme protein due to strong shear force caused by excessive power (Lyso-V's secondary structure is mainly α-helix, and strong shear force can easily cause the helix to unwind).

[0128] Temperature control during intermittent time: After 3 seconds of operation, a 5-second interval is set to utilize the interval for heat dissipation (with the assistance of an ice bath, the temperature of the broken system is maintained at ≤4℃), avoiding the temperature accumulation caused by traditional continuous ultrasound (temperature rises by 5-8℃ every 10 minutes), thus reducing thermal denaturation from the source;

[0129] Total time optimization yield: 30 minutes is the balance point between "breakage rate and activity loss" - the breakage rate increases from 0 to 90% in the first 20 minutes, and only increases by 5% (to 95%) in the last 10 minutes. Continuing to extend the time will lead to a sharp increase in activity loss. Therefore, 30 minutes is chosen to achieve "high breakage rate + low activity loss".

[0130] III. Dual-layer chromatography purification combination: Stepwise removal of different types of impurities achieves a balance between high purity and high recovery rate, solving the following pain points of existing technologies: Traditional lysozyme purification often uses a single chromatography process, which is difficult to remove "charged proteins" and "impurities of different molecular weights" simultaneously, resulting in two major limitations:

[0131] (a) Single ion exchange chromatography (e.g., DEAE-52): It can only remove negatively charged proteins (e.g., proteases, nucleases) by charge difference, but it cannot separate impurities with similar charges to Lyso-V but different molecular weights (e.g., 12kDa subtilisin, 18kDa amylase), and the final purity is only 70%-75%;

[0132] (ii) Single gel filtration chromatography (such as Sephadex G-75): Although it can separate impurities by molecular weight difference, it cannot remove charged proteins with molecular weight close to Lyso-V (14-16k Da), and the sample loading is low (only 5mL crude enzyme solution / column), with a recovery rate of only 60%-65%, which is not suitable for large-scale preparation.

[0133] The optimized solution of this invention adopts a dual-chromatographic combination process of "DEAE-52 anion exchange chromatography → Sephadex G-75 gel filtration chromatography" to solve the problem of different types of impurities step by step. The specific process and design logic are as follows:

[0134] Step 1: DEAE-52 anion exchange chromatography (to remove charged proteins)

[0135] Chromatographic conditions:

[0136] Chromatography column specifications: Φ2.6×30cm, packing volume 160mL;

[0137] Equilibration solution: 0.02 mol / L PBS buffer (containing 0.1 mol / L NaCl) at pH 7.0;

[0138] Elution buffer: PBS buffer with 0-0.5 mol / L NaCl (gradient elution, elution time 60 min);

[0139] Sample loading volume: 5 mL DEAE-52 flow-through solution (after concentration, the enzyme protein concentration reaches 1.0 g / L).

[0140] Separation principle: Lyso-V has an isoelectric point (pI) of approximately 10.0, and is positively charged in a pH 7.0 buffer solution. It does not bind to DEAE-52 (a positively charged anion exchanger) and is collected directly with the flow-through solution. In contrast, contaminating proteins (such as proteases with pI=5.5 and nucleases with pI=6.2) are negatively charged and bind to DEAE-52. They are subsequently removed by elution with a high concentration of NaCl.

[0141] Step 2: Sephadex G-75 gel filtration chromatography (to remove impurities of different molecular weights)

[0142] Chromatographic conditions:

[0143] Chromatography column specifications: Φ1.6×100cm, packing volume 200mL;

[0144] Elution buffer: 0.02 mol / L PBS buffer (containing 0.15 mol / L NaCl) at pH 7.0;

[0145] Flow rate: 0.5 mL / min;

[0146] Sample loading volume: 5 mL DEAE-52 flow-through solution (after concentration, the enzyme protein concentration reaches 1.0 g / L).

[0147] Separation principle: Sephadex G-75 has a fractionation range of 3-80 kDa. Lyso-V has a molecular weight of about 15 kDa and can enter the interior of the gel particles, resulting in a large elution volume (about 80 mL). Impurities with a molecular weight >30 kDa (such as unbroken bacterial fragments and polymeric proteins) cannot enter the gel particles, resulting in a small elution volume (about 40 mL). Impurities with a molecular weight <10 kDa (such as small peptides and salts) can penetrate deep into the gel particles, resulting in a large elution volume (about 120 mL). The separation of Lyso-V and impurities is achieved through the difference in elution volume.

[0178] The specific performance of the DNA preservation solution of the present invention will be verified through experimental examples below.

[0179] Experimental Example 1: Detailed Description of the DNA Preservation Solution and its Components of the Invention

[0180] I. Pyrolysis System:

[0181] The composite surfactant consists of 0.6-1.0 g / L of a novel nonionic surfactant, polyether polyol fatty acid ester (PEFA), and 0.4-0.8 g / L of an amphoteric surfactant, cocamidopropyl hydroxysulfonate betaine (CAPHSB). PEFA has a unique molecular structure; its lipophilic end can penetrate deep into the lipid bilayer of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, disrupting membrane stability. CAPHSB can specifically bind to lipopolysaccharides in the outer membrane, further increasing membrane permeability. The synergistic effect of the two significantly improves the lysis efficiency against Gram-negative bacteria.

[0182] PEFA Synthesis: PEFA is obtained by esterification of the following specific polyether polyols with fatty acids: polyethylene oxide-polypropylene oxide block diol (EO-PO block diol, molecular weight 2000-3000 Da), polytetrahydrofuran diol (PTMG, molecular weight 1000-2000 Da), and polypropylene oxide triol (PPT, molecular weight 1500-2500 Da); the specific fatty acids are lauric acid (dodecanoic acid), myristic acid (tetradecanoic acid), linoleic acid (cis-9,12-octadecadienoic acid), and oleic acid (cis-9-octadecadienoic acid). Toluenesulfonic acid (0.5%-1.0% of the total mass of reactants) is selected as the catalyst, and toluene (volume ratio of reactants 1:1) is selected as the dehydrating agent. During synthesis, the polyether polyol hydroxyl groups and fatty acid carboxyl groups are first fed at a molar ratio of 1:1.05-1.2. The mixture is refluxed at 120-130℃ for 1 hour, then heated to 150-160℃ and held for 4-6 hours. In the later stage, excess fatty acids and residual toluene are removed under a vacuum of 0.08-0.09 MPa. In the post-treatment stage, the reaction solution is cooled to 80℃, washed with 5% sodium carbonate aqueous solution until neutral, dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and filtered to obtain the PEFA product.

[0183] CAPHSB Synthesis: The synthesis is carried out by a two-step method of "amidation + quaternization". Step 1 (amidation): coconut oil acid (purity ≥98%), N,N-dimethylpropanediamine (molar excess 10%-20%); Step 2 (quaternization): product of step 1 (cocamidopropyl dimethylamine), sodium 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropanesulfonate (CHPS, purity ≥99%). Solvent: deionized water (used in the quaternization stage, the amount is 30%-40% of the total mass of the reactants); base adjuster: sodium hydroxide (used to adjust the pH of the quaternization system). Reaction conditions and parameters: (1) Amidation reaction: temperature: 140-150℃, reaction under nitrogen protection for 3-4h. Molar ratio: coconut oil acid: N,N-dimethylpropanediamine = 1:1.1-1.2. Endpoint judgment: stop when the acid value of the reaction system is ≤5mgKOH / g. (2) Quaternization reaction: Temperature: 65-75℃, pH controlled at 8.5-9.0 (adjusted with sodium hydroxide). Molar ratio: cocamidopropyl dimethylamine: CHPS = 1:1.05-1.1. Reaction time: 5-6h, stirring rate 200-300r / min. Post-treatment: The reaction solution is cooled to room temperature, decolorized with activated carbon (0.5%-1%), filtered, and CAPHSB aqueous solution is obtained.

[0184] Enzymatic hydrolysis aids: Lyso-V (0.1-0.3 g / L), a lysozyme extracted from Bacillus subtilis, is used in combination with proteinase K at 0.05-0.15 g / L. Lyso-V not only specifically targets the β-1,4 glycosidic bonds of peptidoglycan in the cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria, but also exhibits higher activity and less potential damage to nucleic acids compared to traditional lysozyme Lyso-V. Proteinase K has high specificity for proteins within Gram-negative bacterial cells, effectively degrading proteins bound to nucleic acids and promoting DNA release. The source of Lyso-V is Bacillus subtilis (…). Extraction method: The source strain is Bacillus subtilis (…). Bacillus subtilis (Strain number BNCC109047); extraction method is as follows:

[0185] Step S1: Strain activation and expansion culture. The preserved Bacillus strain was inoculated onto LB solid medium and cultured at 37°C for 18-24 hours for activation. Single colonies were picked and inoculated onto LB liquid medium, and cultured at 37°C with shaking at 180 rpm for 24 hours to obtain a seed culture. The seed culture was then inoculated at a 5% inoculation rate into fermentation medium (10 g / L peptone, 5 g / L yeast extract, 10 g / L NaCl, 2 g / L glucose, pH 7.2), and fermented at 37°C with shaking at 200 rpm for 48 hours.

[0186] Step S2: Cell collection and disruption. The fermentation broth was centrifuged at 8000 r / min and 4℃ for 15 min, and the cell pellet was collected. The pellet was washed twice with PBS buffer (pH 7.0), resuspended, and then disrupted by sonication (300W power, 3s operation, 5s interval, total duration 30 min). The disrupted solution was centrifuged at 12000 r / min and 4℃ for 20 min, and the supernatant was collected as the crude enzyme solution.

[0187] Step S3: Purification and Identification. The crude enzyme solution was subjected to DEAE-52 ion exchange chromatography (elution buffer: PBS buffer with 0-0.5 mol / L NaCl, gradient elution) to collect the active components; it was then further purified by Sephadex G-75 gel filtration chromatography to obtain pure Lyso-V; the molecular weight (approximately 15 kDa) was verified by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis, and the enzyme activity was determined by turbidimetric assay (using Micrococcus lysae as substrate, a decrease of 0.01 / min in OD450nm value at 37℃ was considered 1 unit of activity).

[0188] An experimental group (using the Lyso-V extraction method of this invention) and a control group (using the traditional Lyso-V extraction method) were set up, with 3 replicates in each group. The strain source was controlled (all were Bacillus subtilis). Bacillus subtilis (The strain number is BNCC109047), and other irrelevant variables such as the basic culture environment are consistent. The specific parallel experimental procedures are shown in Table 2 below:

[0189] Table 2

[0190]

[0191] (II) The performance comparison data of the Lyso-V extraction method of the present invention and the traditional Lyso-V extraction method in terms of various indicators are shown in Table 3 below:

[0192] Table 3

[0193]

[0194] The above data are the average values ​​of three parallel experiments. Statistical analysis showed that the differences between the groups were significant (P<0.05), indicating that the lysozyme Lyso-V preparation method of the present invention is significantly superior to the traditional method in terms of key indicators such as enzyme expression level, purity, and recovery rate, and has stronger batch stability, making it suitable for large-scale preparation.

[0195] II. Nucleic Acid Protection System:

[0196] A novel antioxidant chelating agent: a synthesized nitrogen-heterocyclic polyamine-carboxylic acid derivative (AHPCD) at a concentration of 0.08-0.12 g / L. In this invention, AHPCD is specifically selected from a mixture of the following four compounds, with a mixing ratio of DOTA:NOTA:EDTA (nitrogen-heterocyclic derivative):DTPA (piperazine derivative) mass ratio = 2:2:3:3 (total concentration 0.08-0.12 g / L). AHPCD possesses multiple chelating sites, enabling it to efficiently bind metal ions (such as Fe) in fecal samples. 3+ Cu 2+ (etc.), preventing it from catalyzing the oxidative hydrolysis of nucleic acids. At the same time, the antioxidant groups in its structure can scavenge free radicals in the sample, reducing the damage of oxidative stress to nucleic acids.

[0197] Synthesis of DOTA (1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-N,N',N'',N'''tetraacetic acid):

[0198] Raw materials: 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (Cyclen) (purity ≥97%), sodium chloroacetate (20%-25% molar excess), sodium hydroxide (to adjust alkalinity); 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (Cyclen, purity ≥97%), sodium chloroacetate, and sodium hydroxide, in a molar ratio of 1:4.2:4.5, with sodium chloroacetate in 20%-25% molar excess (to ensure complete reaction of Cyclen).

[0199] Solvent: Deionized water (solid-liquid ratio 1:5-1:8)

[0200] Feeding sequence: First, dissolve Cyclen in an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (pH 10-11), then add sodium chloroacetate in batches.

[0201] Reaction temperature: 55-65℃, keep the reaction at this temperature for 10-12 hours.

[0202] Post-processing: The pH of the reaction solution was adjusted to 2-3 with hydrochloric acid, the solid was precipitated, filtered, recrystallized twice with deionized water, and dried to obtain pure DOTA (purity ≥98%).

[0203] Synthesis of NOTA (1,4,7-triazacyclononane-N,N',N''-triacetic acid):

[0204] Raw materials: 1,4,7-triazacyclononane (purity ≥97%), chloroacetic acid (molar excess 15%-20%)

[0205] Alkali adjuster: Sodium carbonate (to maintain the system pH 9-10)

[0206] Reaction temperature: 45-55℃, stirring for 8-10 hours.

[0207] Molar ratio: 1,4,7-triazacyclononane:chloroacetic acid = 1:3.1-3.3.

[0208] Post-processing: The reaction solution was concentrated to 1 / 3 of its original volume, acidified with hydrochloric acid to pH 2-3, cooled to crystallize, filtered and dried to obtain the NOTA product.

[0209] Synthesis of EDTA-acid heterocyclic derivative (disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate-acid heterocyclic derivative):

[0210] Raw materials: EDTA dianhydride (purity ≥98%), piperazine (a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic monomer, molar ratio 1:1)

[0211] Solvent: N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF, in an amount of 2-3 times the total mass of EDTA dianhydride and piperazine)

[0212] Reaction temperature: 80-90℃, reaction under nitrogen protection for 6-8 hours.

[0213] Post-processing: After cooling the reaction solution, pour it into ice water to precipitate the solid. After filtration, wash twice with ethanol and dry under vacuum (60℃, 4h) to obtain the product.

[0214] Synthesis of DTPA-piperazine derivatives (diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid-piperazine derivatives):

[0215] Raw materials: DTPA anhydride (purity ≥98%), N-methylpiperazine (piperazine derivative), with a molar ratio of 1:1.05, wherein N-methylpiperazine is in 5% excess (to ensure complete reaction of DTPA anhydride).

[0216] Solvent: Anhydrous ethanol (3-4 times the total mass of DTPA anhydride and N-methylpiperazine)

[0217] Reaction temperature: 70-80℃, reflux reaction for 5-7 hours.

[0218] Post-processing: Ethanol was recovered by distillation, and the residue was recrystallized with ethyl acetate, filtered and dried to obtain the pure product (purity ≥97%).

[0219] Carbohydrate polymer protectant: 2-3 g / L of dextran sulfate (DS) is introduced. In this invention, DS is selected with the chemical formula (C6H7Na3O). 14 S3)n, where n ranges from 15 to 1200 (corresponding to a molecular weight of 6000-480000 Da). DS can form a dense hydration layer around nucleic acid molecules, blocking harmful external substances from contacting the nucleic acids. Furthermore, DS molecules interact with nucleic acids through hydrogen bonds, further stabilizing the secondary and tertiary structures of nucleic acids and enhancing their stability at room temperature.

[0220] III. Buffering and Stabilization System:

[0221] Amphoteric buffer: A mixed buffer system of 2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid (MES) and N-tris(hydroxymethyl)methylglycine (Tricine) is used, with MES concentration of 8-12 mmol / L and Tricine concentration of 6-10 mmol / L. This mixed buffer system can maintain a stable pH value within a wide pH range (pH 6.0-7.5), adapting to possible pH fluctuations in fecal samples and ensuring the stability of nucleic acid and lyase activity.

[0222] Polymer stabilizer: Add 1.0-1.5 g / L of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). PVA, through intermolecular interactions such as hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces, ensures uniform dispersion of the components in the preservation solution, preventing component aggregation or precipitation during room temperature storage, and guaranteeing the uniformity and stability of the preservation solution's performance.

[0223] Synergistic ratio of key components:

[0224] The ratio of compound surfactants is: PEFA concentration = 1.0-1.5 times CAPHSB concentration (i.e. 0.6-1.0 g / L = 1.0-1.5 × 0.4-0.8 g / L), to ensure that the efficiency of the two in synergistically destroying the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria is maximized.

[0225] Enzymatic hydrolysis aid ratio: Lyso-V concentration = 1.5-2.5 times proteinase K concentration (i.e. 0.1-0.3 g / L = 1.5-2.5 × 0.05-0.15 g / L), to balance the rate of cell wall lysis and nucleic acid binding protein degradation, and reduce the risk of nucleic acid exposure damage.

[0226] Nucleic acid protection system ratio: DS concentration = 20-30 times AHPCD concentration (i.e. 2-3 g / L = 20-30 × 0.08-0.12 g / L), to achieve synergistic effect of metal ion chelation and nucleic acid hydration layer protection.

[0227] Buffer system ratio: MES concentration = 1.2-1.5 times Tricine concentration (i.e., 8-12 mmol / L = 1.2-1.5 × 6-10 mmol / L), maintaining the pH range of the preservation solution to meet the requirements of enzyme activity and nucleic acid stability.

[0228] Stabilizer ratio: PVA concentration ≤ 1 / 2 DS concentration (i.e., 1.0-1.5 g / L ≤ 1 / 2 × 2-3 g / L) to avoid excessive PVA affecting the hydrogen bond binding between DS and nucleic acid, thus ensuring the protective effect of nucleic acid.

[0255] Quantitative real-time PCR results showed that the Ct value of the *E. coli* 16S rRNA gene was 25.08 at 0 months in the experimental group; after 24 months of storage, the Ct value was 25.78. Figure 1 The CV value was 0.76%, showing only a slight increase, indicating that the total DNA amount remained stable; the control group had a Ct value of 27.80 and a CV value of 4.22% at 12 months, and the Ct value rose to 34.2 at 24 months. Figure 2 The CV value reached 6.85%, indicating significant DNA degradation. In the control group 2, the Ct value began to rise sharply after 6 months of storage at room temperature, the gene was almost undetectable after 18 months, and completely undetectable after 24 months. Figure 3 In both control groups 3 and 4, no effective DNA could be detected after 18 months. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The specific data is shown in Table 6 below:

[0258] Note: NA indicates that no usable DNA could be extracted (concentration <10ng / μl).

[0259] The results of ultraviolet spectrophotometry showed that the DNA A in the experimental group at 0 months was... 260 / A 280 The ratio is between 1.8 and 2.0; after storage for 24 months, A 260 / A 280 The ratio remained between 1.5 and 1.6, with a concentration decrease of only 8.5%, indicating good nucleic acid integrity; in control group 1, A at 12 months... 260 / A 280 The ratio had already fallen below 1.4, and after 24 months it dropped to 1.15, representing a concentration decrease of 42.3%; in control groups 2, after 12 months of storage at room temperature, A 260 / A 280The ratios were chaotic and the concentrations were extremely low, making it impossible to extract any usable DNA after 18 months; control groups 3 and 4 also failed to extract usable DNA after 18 months. This indicates that the preservation solution of this invention still exhibits significant advantages in DNA stability and integrity during a two-year storage period at room temperature, and the synergistic effect and ratio control of key components effectively ensure the quality of nucleic acids after long-term storage. Specific data are shown in Table 7 below.
