Abstract

The invention discloses a method for behavioral growth of plants and microorganisms under catalysis of nitrogen-based nutrition in the crossing field of biotechnology, agriculture and microbial engineering. Nitrogen-based substances of an organism are extracted to prepare a targeted nutrition carrier, and nutrition and environmental parameters are accurately regulated and controlled in combination with physical and chemical means, so that the limitation of a traditional technology is broken through, and low-grade plants and specific microorganisms can grow according to preset patterns (such as human body images). Compared with the traditional technology, the method does not need high-cost external intervention, has the functions of resource circulation, art expression and ecological restoration, and provides an innovative technical path for commemorative art, ecological restoration and personalized gardening development.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the interdisciplinary field of biotechnology, agricultural cultivation, and microbial engineering, specifically to a method for extracting and processing nitrogen-based substances from organisms (including humans) before or after their death, converting them into nutrients that directionally regulate the growth of plants or microorganisms, and then combining this with physical or chemical means to achieve their behavioral growth. This method is particularly applicable to lower plants such as mosses and specific microorganisms, enabling them to grow into 2D or 3D images with human-like features. Background of the Invention

[0002] Traditional fertilizer and microbial cultivation technologies primarily focus on the general growth needs of plants or microorganisms (such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium), but lack the ability to guide specific shapes or patterns. While existing technologies utilize physical methods such as light control and mold restriction to guide plant growth, these rely on external mechanical intervention, are costly, and struggle to achieve complex patterns. Furthermore, nitrogen-based substances in organisms (especially the human body) (such as proteins, amino acids, and urea) are not efficiently recycled for use in art, memorials, or ecological restoration.

[0003] This invention extracts nitrogen-based substances from organisms and processes them into "targeted nutrient carriers." Combined with growth environment regulation technology, it enables plants or microorganisms to naturally form a predetermined shape (such as a human portrait) during the process of absorbing nutrients, thus combining the value of resource recycling with artistic expression. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Core Methods

[0005] 1. Extraction and processing of nitrogen-based substances

[0006] Source: Nitrogenous substances such as hair, skin, blood, and bones of the human body or organisms before and after death.

[0007] Processing: Proteins, urea, etc. are converted into easily absorbed forms such as small molecule amino acids and ammonium salts through enzymatic hydrolysis, high-temperature pyrolysis, or microbial degradation.

[0008] Customized formulation: Based on the nutritional needs of the target plant / microorganism (such as moss), trace elements (iron, zinc) and growth regulators (such as gibberellin) are added to form a "targeted nutrient solution".

[0009] 1.1 Raw material sources and pretreatment

[0010] The nitrogen-based substances used in this technology are mainly derived from the organic tissues of the human body or other organisms. The processing methods vary depending on the physical state of the raw materials.

[0011] 1.1.1 Solid tissue processing

[0012] For solid tissues such as hair, nails, and skin, physical crushing is the first step. Low-temperature ball milling technology is used to pulverize the raw materials to a particle size of 0.5-1.0 mm at 4°C. This size range ensures sufficient contact area for subsequent reactions while avoiding nitrogen loss due to over-crushing. The pulverized material then undergoes three stages of cleaning:

[0013] Primary cleaning: Sonicate with 0.9% saline solution for 10 minutes (frequency 40kHz).

[0014] Secondary cleaning: Immerse in 5% sodium bicarbonate solution for 30 minutes. Tertiary cleaning: Rinse with deionized water until conductivity < 50 μS / cm.

[0015] 1.1.2 Liquid Sample Processing

[0016] Liquid samples such as blood and body fluids need to be separated by centrifugation. Centrifuge at 3000 rpm for 15 minutes at 4°C, and filter the supernatant through a 0.45 μm microporous membrane. For whole blood samples, 1% heparin sodium anticoagulant (w / v) needs to be added first to prevent nitrogen encapsulation caused by clotting.

[0017] 1.2 Sterilization and Stabilization Treatment

[0018] All raw materials must undergo strict sterilization, but nitrogen loss due to high temperatures must be avoided.

[0019] 1.2.1 Radiation sterilization

[0020] Irradiation with 60Co-γ rays was used, with the dose controlled within the range of 10-15 kGy. Experimental data showed that this dose could ensure a sterilization efficiency of >99.9% while maintaining a stable molecular weight distribution of keratin (SDS-PAGE analysis showed that the main bands remained at 10-30 kDa).

[0021] 1.2.2 Antioxidant treatment

[0022] Add the compound antioxidant immediately after sterilization:

[0023] 0.1% L-Ascorbic Acid (w / w)

[0024] 0.05% Sodium Thiosulfate (w / w)

[0025] 0.01% α-Tocopherol (w / w)

[0026] This combination can control the amino acid oxidation rate to <3% / month during storage (HPLC detection results).

[0027] 1.3 Nitrogen-based material conversion process

[0028] Select an appropriate conversion method based on the characteristics of the raw materials:

[0029] 1.3.1 Enzymatic hydrolysis method

[0030] For protein-based substances, a step-by-step enzymatic hydrolysis process is used:

[0031] Phase 1: Alkaline protease (Alcalase 2.4L) treatment, enzyme addition: 2% (w / w), pH 8.0±0.2 (adjusted with 1M NaOH), temperature 55±1℃, time 4 hours.

[0032] Second stage: Flavor enzyme (Flavourzyme 500MG) treatment, enzyme addition: 1% (w / w), pH 6.5±0.2, temperature 50±1℃, time 2 hours. Under this process, the protein conversion rate can reach 92.3±1.8% (determined by Kjeldahl method).

[0033] 1.3.2 Microbial fermentation method: For complex organic mixtures, a complex microbial community fermentation method is used.

[0034] Strain composition: Bacillus subtilis CICC 10075, Saccharomyces cerevisiae CICC 31080 = 3:1 (v / v). Fermentation conditions: inoculum size 5% (v / v), temperature 30±1℃, aeration rate 1.5 vvm, fermentation time 72 hours. The fermentation broth was tested and found to contain 18 free amino acids (total concentration reached 4.2±0.3 g / L), of which growth-promoting amino acids such as glutamic acid and aspartic acid accounted for >40%.

[0035] 1.4 Purification and Concentration

[0036] 1.4.1 Solid-liquid separation

[0037] Ceramic membrane filtration system is used:

[0038] Membrane pore size: 0.1 μm

[0039] Operating pressure: 0.2 MPa

[0040] Temperature: 25±2℃

[0041] Under these conditions, the filtrate clarity (NTU) is <5 and the protein retention rate is >98%.

[0042] 1.4.2 Desalination treatment

[0043] Treatment was performed using a series connection of 001×7 type cation exchange resin and 201×7 type anion exchange resin:

[0044] Flow rate: 2 BV / h

[0045] Processing capacity: 10 BV

[0046] After treatment, the conductivity of the solution decreased to <100 μS / cm, and the amino acid loss rate was <5%.

[0047] 1.4.3 Vacuum Concentration

[0048] A falling film evaporator is used.

[0049] Evaporation temperature: 40±2℃

[0050] Vacuum degree: -0.085MPa

[0051] End point determination: Baume degree reaches 25° Bé

[0052] The total nitrogen content of the concentrated product was 8.5 ± 0.5% (Kjeldahl method).

[0053] 1.5 Nutrient solution formula optimization

[0054] Based on the growth requirements of the target organism, nitrogen-based extracts are combined with other ingredients:

[0055] 1.5.1 Moss-specific formula

[0056] Nitrogen-based extract (as N): 500 mg / L, glucose: 3 g / L, KH2PO4: 0.8 g / L, MgSO4·7H2O: 0.2 g / L, Fe-EDTA: 15 mg / L, naphthaleneacetic acid: 0.3 mg / L, pH adjusted to 5.8 ± 0.2 (using 0.1 M citric acid solution).

[0057] 1.5.2 Microbial-specific formulation

[0058] Nitrogen-based extract (as N): 800 mg / L, sucrose: 5 g / L, K2HPO4: 1.2 g / L, trace element mixture (containing Zn, Cu, Mn, etc.): 1 ml / L, cAMP: 0.1 mM, pH adjusted to 7.0 ± 0.2 (using 1 M NaOH solution).

[0059] 1.6 Quality Control Standards

[0060] 1.6.1 Physicochemical Indicators

[0061] Total nitrogen content: ≥8.0% (dry basis)

[0062] Amino acid composition: Essential amino acids account for ≥35%

[0063] Heavy metal limits: Pb ≤ 2 mg / kg, Cd ≤ 0.5 mg / kg

[0064] Microbiological indicators: Total bacterial count ≤1000 CFU / g

[0065] 1.6.2 Bioactivity was assessed using a moss (Physcomitrella patens) germination test:

[0066] Germination rate: ≥90% (95% of the control group)

[0067] Primary rhizoid length: ≥2.5mm (after 72 hours of culture)

[0068] This extraction and processing technology ensures the bioavailability of nitrogen-based substances through multi-level control, providing a precise nutritional basis for subsequent behavioral growth. Experimental data show that, compared with traditional chemical nitrogen sources, the nitrogen-based nutrient solution prepared by this method can increase moss biomass by 35-40% (p<0.01) and significantly enhance morphological plasticity.

[0069] 2. Behavioral growth regulation technology

[0070] Template design: Based on the target image (such as a human face), create a 2D planar or 3D stereoscopic growth template, made of light-transmitting and breathable biodegradable material (such as agar film or cellulose mesh).

[0071] Gradient nutrient induction: Nutrient solution concentration gradients are set in different areas of the template to guide the directional extension of roots or mycelia by utilizing the plant's nutrient tropism.

[0072] Photo-chemical synergy: Combining light direction adjustment (such as side lighting inducing moss to grow densely towards the light side) and chemical signaling molecules (such as ethylene regulating cell differentiation) to enhance image details.

[0073] 2.1 Physical Space Control System

[0074] 2.1.1 Design and preparation of growth template

[0075] Growth templates designed based on biomimetic principles are the core carriers for achieving precise morphological control. For 2D pattern culture, templates with gradient water permeability are prepared using composite cellulose materials.

[0076] Material composition: Microcrystalline cellulose (60-80%), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (15-25%), nano-silica (5-15%). Pore size gradient control:

[0077] High-density patterned area: pore size 10-20μm, porosity 40-50%

[0079] Preparation process:

[0080] 1) Cast the mixed slurry into a film (thickness 0.5±0.1mm)

[0081] 2) Patterns were prepared using a mask exposure method (UV light intensity 50mW / cm²). 2 Exposure time 30-60 seconds)

[0082] 3) Freeze-drying (-40℃, 24 hours) fixing hole structure

[0083] Experiments show that the template can achieve a water vapor transmission rate gradient of 3:1 (high density area: low density area) under a relative humidity of 80%, which can effectively guide the hydrotactic growth of organisms.

[0084] 2.1.2 Three-dimensional scaffold construction: For complex 3D structures, a layered assembly technique is adopted:

[0085] Scaffold material: Food-grade polylactic acid (PLA, Mw = 50,000-100,000) and gelatin (Bloom value 250-300) composite. Structural parameters:

[0086] Single layer thickness: 200-300μm

[0087] Internal channel diameter: 100-200μm

[0088] Pore ​​connectivity: ≥85%

[0089] Preparation process:

[0090] 1) Constructing a PLA framework using fused deposition modeling (nozzle temperature 190-210℃)

[0091] 2) Impregnate with a 10% gelatin solution (containing 0.5% glutaraldehyde crosslinking agent).

[0092] 3) Gradient freezing (4℃→-20℃, rate 1℃ / min) to form a template for oriented ice crystals.

[0093] The scaffold degrades in 4-6 weeks at 37°C, which matches the growth cycle of most mosses and microorganisms.

[0094] 2.2 Chemical Gradient Induction System

[0095] 2.2.1 Nutrient solution spatial distribution control: Three-dimensional precise delivery of nutrients is achieved through microfluidic technology.

[0096] Microchannel network design:

[0097] Main channel width: 500μm

[0098] Branch channel width: 100-200μm

[0099] Flow rate control range: 0.1-10 μL / min

[0100] Establishing a nutrient gradient:

[0101] Nitrogen-based nutrient solution concentration in the core area: 5-10 mg N / mL

[0102] Edge region concentration: 1-2 mg N / mL

[0103] Gradient establishment time: 12-24 hours

[0104] Experimental data show that under these gradient conditions, the directional growth rate of moss protoporphyria can reach 0.3-0.5 mm / day, and the branching angle can be controlled within the range of 45±5°.

[0105] 2.2.2 Timing regulation of signal molecules: A sustained-release carrier is used to achieve pulsed release of growth regulators.

[0106] Preparation of calcium alginate microspheres:

[0107] Sodium alginate concentration: 2% (w / v)

[0108] CaCl2 crosslinking concentration: 2% (w / v)

[0112] 6-Benzylaminopurine (6-BA): Initial loading 0.05%, 24-hour release rate 20-30%.

[0113] Release trigger mechanism:

[0114] pH-responsive (release rate increases by 50-70% at pH < 5.5)

[0115] Temperature-responsive (release rate increases by 30-50% at 25→30℃)

[0116] 2.3 Dynamic Regulation of Environmental Factors

[0117] 2.3.1 Light Control System

[0118] Based on the spectral requirements of plant photomorphogenesis, a multi-band composite lighting design was developed:

[0119] Spectral combination:

[0120] Red light (660nm): promotes cell elongation, intensity 50-70μmol / m 2 / s

[0121] Blue light (450nm): regulates stomatal development, intensity 30-50μmol / m 2 / s

[0122] Far-red light (730nm): Inhibits excessive growth, intensity 10-20μmol / m 2 / s

[0123] Lighting sequence:

[0124] Diurnal cycle: 16 hours of light / 8 hours of darkness

[0125] Dynamic adjustment: The red / blue light ratio is adjusted every 2 hours (1:1 → 2:1 → 1:1).

[0126] Light direction control:

[0127] Side lighting angle: 30-45°

[0128] Rotation frequency: 90° / h

[0129] Studies have shown that this lighting pattern can maintain the stem-to-leaf ratio of moss within the ideal range of 1:2 to 1:3, which is conducive to the formation of complex patterns.

[0130] 2.3.2 Microenvironment parameter control: Constructing a closed culture system to achieve precise environmental regulation:

[0134] Humidity management:

[0135] Relative humidity: 80±5%

[0136] Substrate moisture content: 60-70% (v / v)

[0137] Gas composition:

[0138] CO2 concentration: 800-1000 ppm (daytime), 500-600 ppm (nighttime)

[0139] Ethylene pulse: 1-2 times daily, 2 hours each time (concentration 1-2 ppm)

[0140] 2.4 Monitoring and Feedback of Biological Response

[0141] 2.4.1 Growth Status Assessment

[0151] PRI (Photochemical Reflectance Index)

[0152] 2.4.2 Optimization of Control Parameters Based on Dynamic Adjustment Strategy Using Monitoring Data:

[0153] Nutritional supplementation threshold:

[0154] When the local NDVI value decreases by 15%, add 50% concentration nutrient solution.

[0155] When the growth rate is below 0.2 mm / day, increase the light intensity by 20%.

[0156] Morphological correction measures:

[0157] Excessive edge growth: Treat with 1-2 ppm ethylene for 4 hours

[0158] Blurred pattern: Adjust the red / blue light ratio to 3:1 for 48 hours.

[0159] 2.5 Typical Regulation Cases

[0160] Taking facial pattern cultivation as an example, the comprehensive regulatory effect is demonstrated:

[0161] 2.5.1 Initial Stage (0-7 days)

[0162] Key regulatory measures:

[0163] Local infiltration of high-concentration nitrogen-based nutrient solution (8 mg N / mL)

[0164] Blue light (red:blue = 1:2) promotes protonema formation.

[0165] Growth performance:

[0166] The density difference of the protofilaments reaches 3:1 (pattern area: background area).

[0167] Preliminary outline emerging (resolution approximately 0.5mm)

[0168] 2.5.2 Mid-term (8-14 days)

[0169] Key regulatory measures:

[0170] 6-BA sustained-release microspheres (0.05%) were introduced.

[0171] Increasing far-red light inhibits the growth of non-target regions

[0172] Growth performance:

[0173] Leaf differentiation is obvious (single leaf area 0.2-0.3 mm). 2 )

[0174] Pattern details are clearly visible (resolution up to 0.2mm).

[0175] 2.5.3 Later Stage (15-21 days)

[0176] Key control measures: Reduce nitrogen concentration to 2 mg N / mL, enhance red light (red:blue = 2:1) to promote upright growth. Final results: Three-dimensional height difference 0.5-1.0 mm, feature point recognition accuracy >90%.

[0177] This regulatory system achieves controllable guidance of the biological growth process through the synergistic effect of multiple parameters. Experimental data show that, compared with traditional single-factor regulation, this method improves the pattern fidelity (SSIM index) from 0.65±0.08 to 0.89±0.05 (p<0.01) and shortens the growth cycle by 30-40%. This precise regulation capability provides a new technological path for the field of biomanufacturing.

[0178] 3. Implementation Steps

[0179] Step 1: Extraction of nitrogenous substances → Enzymatic hydrolysis / cleavage → Filtration and purification → Preparation of nutrient solution.

[0180] Step 2: Inject the nutrient solution into the cultivation substrate containing the pre-set template (such as peat moss).

[0181] Step 3: Inoculate the target organism (preferably, spores of bryophytes or specific fungi), and control the temperature and humidity (20-25℃, 80% humidity).

[0182] Step 4: By dynamically adjusting the light angle, nutrient solution concentration gradient, and gas environment (CO2 concentration), the target image is formed over a period of 10-30 days.

[0183] 3.1 Nitrogen-based material treatment stage

[0187] 2) Soak in a 2% sodium bicarbonate solution at 50°C for 30 minutes.

[0188] 3) Rinse with deionized water until conductivity <20μS / cm

[0189] Particle size control: The raw material is pulverized to 0.5-1.0 mm particles by low-temperature ball milling under liquid nitrogen protection (-196℃) to prevent protein denaturation.

[0190] 3.1.2 Enzymatic hydrolysis conversion process

[0191] A two-enzyme stepwise hydrolysis method is used:

[0193] The second stage involved flavor enzyme treatment at a dosage of 1.5% (w / w), pH 6.8±0.1, temperature 50±0.5℃, and a reaction time of 4 hours. The degree of hydrolysis (DH) was controlled at 35-40%, and the reaction was monitored in real time using a pH-stat method.

[0229] 3.4.1 Photoperiod Design

[0230] Daily light schedule:

[0231] Dawn (06:00-08:00):

[0232] Blue light (450nm) 50μmol / m 2 / s

[0233] Red light (660nm) 30μmol / m 2 / s

[0240] Pulsed fertilization: High-concentration supplementation (N 800mg / L) once a week, lasting for 2 hours.

[0241] 3.4.3 Morphological Correction Measures: Edge Control: Locally spray 0.1mM methyl jasmonate once daily for 30 seconds each time. Density Adjustment: Use a miniature negative pressure suction device (pressure -5kPa) for overly dense areas, and spot inoculate sparse areas with concentrated spore solution (10... 6 (pcs / mL)

[0242] 3.5 Harvest and Finalization

[0243] 3.5.1 Determination of Growth Termination

[0244] The culture should be terminated when the following conditions are met: NDVI value reaches 0.75±0.05, pattern resolution ≤0.2mm, and three-dimensional height difference ≥0.3mm.

[0245] 3.5.2 Shaping treatment

[0246] Chemical fixation: Spray treatment with 0.5% glutaraldehyde solution for 2 hours; Dehydration and drying: Gradient ethanol dehydration (30%-50%-70%-90%), critical point drying (CO2, 31℃, 7.38MPa).

[0247] This implementation system, through strict parameter control, can achieve a cultivation success rate of ≥90% and a pattern fidelity (SSIM) of ≥0.85. Comparative experiments show that, compared with traditional methods, this scheme shortens the growth cycle from the conventional 6-8 weeks to 3-4 weeks, and improves the biomass distribution uniformity by more than 40% (p<0.01).

[0248] Originality (Inventive Step)

[0249] 1. Biological nitrogen-based closed-loop conversion technology

[0250] This technology has for the first time constructed a complete technical chain of "human biomass-directed conversion-artistic growth". Its innovation is reflected in: (1) the development of a keratin-specific enzymatic hydrolysis system, using Bacillus subtilis keratinase (EC 3.4.21.64) and flavor protease for stepwise hydrolysis. Under the conditions of pH 8.0 / 50℃, the keratin decomposition rate of the traditional process of 60-70% was increased to 95.2±1.3% (p<0.01), and small molecule peptides with biological activity (molecular weight of 500-2000 Da accounted for 68%) were retained.

[0251] (2) Innovatively linking human-derived nitrogenous substances with plant morphogenesis, experiments have shown that cystine (concentration ≥1.2mM) in hair extract can significantly enhance the sensitivity of moss to light signals, reducing its branching angle from the conventional 90±10° to 45±5°. This discovery provides a new mechanism for biological morphology control.

[0252] 2. Four-dimensional growth regulation system

[0253] Breaking through the traditional single physical limitation mode, a spatiotemporal multi-dimensional control system is established:

[0254] (1) A growth template with a biomimetic gradient structure was developed. The synergistic effect of its pore size gradient (10-50 μm) and water potential gradient (-5 to -15 kPa) enabled the directional extension speed of moss profilosomes to reach 0.4 ± 0.05 mm / day, which is 300% higher than that of homogeneous matrix.

[0255] (2) A pioneering photo-chemical pulse modulation strategy was developed, utilizing 660nm red light (80μmol / m 2 The timing of ( / s) and 1μM NAA is coordinated to achieve precise coordination of cell division and elongation, improving the sharpness of the pattern edge to the 0.1mm level.
