Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of microorganisms, and particularly relates to a new species of Schumannella with antibacterial activity and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The problem of bacterial drug resistance has become one of the most serious challenges in the field of global public health, and the situation in China is particularly severe, so new and efficient antibiotics need to be put into use. Actinobacteria are the main force of antibiotic production, and the species diversity thereof is an important basis for antibiotic research and development. With repeated excavation and screening of ordinary environmental actinobacteria resources, the probability of discovering new compounds therefrom is becoming lower and lower. Actinobacteria inhabiting special environments have unique gene types and metabolic mechanisms, and have become an important breakthrough for new antibiotic research and development.

[0003] Mangrove is a woody plant community growing in the intertidal zone of tropical and subtropical coasts. As an ecological system transitioning from land to sea, mangrove contains unique and rich microbial resources, and has become a hotspot for the development of medicinal actinobacteria. As part of the marine life system, mangrove-derived actinobacteria have the potential to produce compounds with novel structures and unique biological activities. Although the research started late, with the help of the basis and experience of terrestrial natural product research, the secondary metabolites of mangrove actinobacteria have developed rapidly and achieved many important results. These natural products have diverse biological activities, including antibacterial, antiviral, cytotoxic, antioxidant, etc.

[0004] In recent years, the research on secondary metabolites of rare actinobacteria from mangrove has also gradually increased. During 2015-2020, a total of 16 new compounds were isolated from rare actinobacteria from mangrove. Therefore, it is very important to excavate new actinobacteria resources from mangrove ecology, and new species of rare actinobacteria and their secondary metabolites have important research value. SUMMARY

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to provide a new species of Schumannella strain 10F1B-5-1 with antibacterial activity, which is classified and named as Schumannella sp., and has various antibacterial activities, thereby providing a new bacterial source for new antibiotic research and development.

Obtain single colony numbered as 10F1B-5-1.

[0029] Classification and identification of strain 10F1B-5-1

[0030] 1. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis

[0031] The DNA of the strain 10F1B-5-1 was extracted by using the chelex-100 method, the 16S rRNA gene of the strain was amplified by using primers 27F and 1492R, the PCR product was cloned and sequenced, and the nearly full-length 16S rRNA gene sequence was obtained, the 16S rRNA gene sequence is shown as SEQ ID NO. 1, and is submitted to the GenBank database of NCBI. The homology search of 16S rRNA gene was performed by using the online comparison of EzBioCloud website. The phylogenetic tree was constructed by using Mega 7.0 software and Kimura 2-parameter model by using the maximum parsimony method (ML). The 16S rRNA gene sequence length of the strain 10F1B-5-1 is 1485 bp (as shown in SEQ ID NO. 1), and the GenBank accession number is MK589790. The sequence comparison result shows that the strain 10F1B-5-1 has the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Schumannella soli 10F1D-1T (98.3%), followed by Schumannella luteola DSM 23141T (98.2%), and the 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with other members of the Microbacteriaceae family is lower than 97.3%. The ML phylogenetic tree constructed based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence shows that the strain 10F1B-5-1 is clustered with the members of the Schumannella genus, and forms an independent evolution branch.

[0033] The genomic DNA was extracted by using the CTAB method, and after agarose gel electrophoresis and Qubit quality detection, the whole genome sequencing was performed on the Illumina platform, and the sequence was spliced by using SOAPdenovo2. The DNA G+C content of the strain 10F1B-5-1 was calculated based on the whole genome sequence. The core proteome of the strain 10F1B-5-1 and the similar species was obtained by using the M1CR0B1AL1Z3R website, the phylogenetic tree was constructed by using Mega 7.0 software and Jones-Taylor-Thornton model by using the ML method. At the same time, the average nucleotide homology (ANI) between the strain 10F1B-5-1 and the phylogenetically similar species was calculated by using the online tool EzBioCloud, and the DNA-DNA hybridization (DDH) value was determined by using the online tool Genome-to-Genome Distance Calculator.

[0034] The above analysis shows that the full length of the genome of strain 10F1B-5-1 is 4,259,791 bp, the contigs are 153, and the G+C content is 74.1%. The ML system evolution tree constructed based on the core proteome shows that strain 10F1B-5-1 forms an independent evolution branch in the evolution spectrum of Shewanella Figure 3 The ANI and DDH values of strain 10F1B-5-1 with Shewanella members are less than 85% and 31% respectively (Table 1), while the definition criteria of prokaryotic species are ANI value of 95-96% and DDH value of 70%.

Strain 10F1B-5-1 was inoculated in LB, ISP 2, R2A, TSA and NA medium and incubated at 30℃ for 14 days, and its growth characteristics were observed. ISP 2 medium containing different NaCl concentrations (0-10% (w / v), with an interval of 1%) was used to detect the salt tolerance range of the strain. The pH of R2A medium was adjusted to 4.0-13.0 (with an interval of 1 pH unit), and the growth pH range of the strain was observed. Strain 10F1B-5-1 was inoculated into R2A medium, and its growth at different temperatures (4, 8, 10, 15, 20, 25, 28, 30, 32, 35, 37, 40, 45℃) was observed.

[0041] Example 3, Antimicrobial application of strain 10F1B-5-1

[0042] Using one strain many compounds (OSMAC) strategy, strain 10F1B-5-1 was fermented in small scale using four different media (Table 2). About 1 cm 2 of agar containing bacteria was inoculated into 100 mL of liquid fermentation medium, and cultured at 28°C with 180 rpm shaking for 7 days. After centrifugation, the supernatant and mycelium were obtained, and the supernatant was extracted with an equal volume of ethyl acetate three times. The ethyl acetate phase was concentrated and dried to obtain the fermentation crude extract. The crude extract was dissolved in methanol to obtain a solution with a concentration of 50 mg / ml. HPLC was used to analyze the fermentation crude extract of the four media. In addition, paper disc diffusion method was used for antimicrobial activity determination. 25 μL of fermentation crude extract solution was placed on a 6 mm diameter sterile filter paper disc, and after the methanol was evaporated and dried, it was attached to the medium containing 1.5 x 10 7 CFU / ml of test bacteria, and incubated at 37°C overnight. The size of the inhibition zone was recorded.
