Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the fields of microbial technology and pharmaceutical technology, specifically relating to a strain of Rhodotorula glutinis I7Y2 that has cell nutrition function, can promote cell proliferation and reduce cell apoptosis, and its applications. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of modern biotechnology, animal cell culture technology has been widely applied in research fields such as biology, medicine, and food, including the production of antibodies or genetically engineered drugs, human and veterinary vaccines, and cultured meat. Cell culture technology has become a core element in ensuring production efficiency and product quality. In vitro animal cell culture began in 1885 when Roux cultured chicken embryos using physiological saline. Today, cell culture media have evolved from early natural media to classic synthetic media composed of fetal bovine serum and basal medium. These media can meet the proliferation needs of various tissues and cells, including primary cells and human biopsy tissues, and are currently the most relied-upon and widely used culture medium in scientific research and production applications. However, ethical concerns regarding the source of fetal bovine serum, the unknown composition, batch-to-batch variability, the safety of using it as bovine-derived material, and the heterologous nature of human biological products have all led to significant limitations in serum-based cell culture systems, thus driving the development of serum-free cell culture.
[0003] The earliest research on serum-free cell culture originated in 1950 when Parker's team developed CMRL199 medium, pioneering the use of low-molecular-weight compounds such as amino acids, vitamins, and nucleic acid precursors in conjunction with embryonic extracts to achieve serum-free culture of chicken embryonic cells. Subsequently, between 1980 and 1976, various researchers discovered effective alternatives to serum, including serum protein components (albumin, fetal globulin), linoleic acid and putrescine, and combinations of hormones and growth factors (insulin, transferrin), thus promoting the systematization of serum-free medium design. From 1980 to the present, serum-free mediums have been continuously optimized, with increasingly more specific compositions to meet the needs of specific cell lines. Currently, there are related studies and commercially available products with unknown formulations for various cell types, such as mammalian cells, insect cells, immunological cells, and stem cells.
[0004] However, the main strategies for developing serum-free culture media focus on optimizing medium formulations through experimental design and machine learning, or using systems biology techniques to analyze cellular metabolic networks for precise nutrient supplementation. However, these methods often face challenges such as low experimental screening throughput, high costs, complex data analysis, and difficulty in precisely locating targets, limiting their universality and application efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to break away from existing fixed components and explore new serum-free resources. Currently, various non-animal serum substitutes have been widely explored for serum-free culture, such as soybean, cottonseed, flaxseed, Chlorella extract, thermophilic sulfur algae natural proteins, Saccharomyces cerevisiae lysate, and Vibrio lysate. Compared to plant and algae-derived components, microbial-derived active ingredients exhibit unique advantages such as controllable and sustainable production and ease of engineering modification. However, commercial applications are almost entirely concentrated on Saccharomyces cerevisiae extract, while a vast amount of microbial resources remain, and their ability to regulate mammalian cell growth has not been fully explored.
[0005] Rhodotorula glutinis is a promising microbial resource awaiting development. Previous studies have shown that its extracellular polysaccharides possess good biocompatibility and antioxidant activity, effectively promoting cell adhesion and proliferation, and have been explored for application in the field of biomaterials. Furthermore, its hydrolysates, as feed additives, have been shown to improve animal growth performance and gut health, thus confirming its potential to promote cell health. However, no studies have yet confirmed Rhodotorula glutinis and its lysates as highly efficient, safe, and mechanistically defined cell nutrients, nor have studies demonstrated their application value and feasibility in serum-free culture systems.
[0006] Based on this, this patent screened a strain of Rhodotorula glutinis ( ). Rhodotorula mucilaginosa The study investigated the effects of strain I7Y2 on the cellular nutrition of animal cells, particularly Vero cells. The results confirmed that this strain significantly promoted the viability, density, proliferation rate, and migration rate of Vero cells in a serum-free culture environment, while simultaneously inhibiting apoptosis caused by nutrient deficiency. Due to its highly efficient growth-promoting effect, this strain represents a viable alternative to serum, providing an important microbial resource for developing a new generation of efficient, economical, and safe serum-free culture media, and holds broad application prospects in biopharmaceuticals, cell therapy, and vaccine production.

[0065] Example 3: Screening of serum-free strains that promote Vero cell proliferation
[0066] 3.1 CCK-8 assay for initial screening of strains promoting cell growth activity
[0067] Digested Vero cells were resuspended in DMEM at a concentration of 1 × 10⁻⁶. 5 Cells / mL were seeded in 96-well plates, and 10 μL of the strain's fermentation supernatant diluted 10-fold was added to each well. The plates were incubated at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 48 h. The ability of the strain to promote cell proliferation with cell-free supernatant was evaluated using a CCK-8 assay kit (GLPBIO, Montclair, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. A secondary CCK-8 screening was performed to prevent experimental error.
[0068] 3.2 Cell counting method for secondary screening of strains to promote cell growth density
[0069] Combining the results of two CCK-8 tests, strains with cell viability exceeding 120% were screened for cell density rescreening. Vero cells were seeded at the same density in 24-well plates, and 10 μL of cell-free supernatant from strains that improved cell viability in both screenings was added. Cell counting was performed using Counterstar. Due to differences in screening batches, the density was normalized using the sample density / control density, and this was named relative viable cell density (relative VCD).

[0072] 3.3 Effects of different strains and their dosage on cell proliferation promotion
[0073] The effects of different forms of the strain (fermentation broth, cell lysate) on the proliferation of Vero cells were further compared. Figure 1 B). The results showed that both the fermentation broth and the cell lysate effectively promoted cell proliferation, with similar effects. Given the superior controllability of the cell lysate in terms of preparation and storage stability, subsequent experiments selected the lysate for dose-effect studies. By comparing the proliferation-promoting effects of different addition amounts, it was determined that the Rhodotorula glutinis I7Y2 cell lysate at a concentration of 4% (v / v) had the best proliferation-promoting effect on Vero cells. Figure 1 C).
[0074] 3.4 Effects of different lysis modes and enzyme treatments on the proliferation-promoting effect of strains
[0075] Based on the confirmed significant proliferation-promoting effect of Rhodotorula mucilaginosa I7Y2 lysate, this study further investigated the influence of different lysis methods (ultrasound, autoclaving, enzymatic hydrolysis, and autolysis) on this activity. The specific methods are as follows: Ultrasound treatment involved resuspending the bacterial suspension (1 g of precipitated cells resuspended in 10 mL of deionized water at 10% (m / v) wet weight) and sonicating at 600 W for 30 min (5 s working, 5 s rest); autoclaving treatment involved three cycles of high-pressure treatment at 20 kpsi; autolysis treatment involved adjusting the pH of the resuspended bacterial suspension to 5.5 and stirring at 55 °C and 150 r / min for 36 h, followed by boiling for 10 min to terminate the reaction; enzymatic hydrolysis was performed according to the steps described in Example 2.2. All lysates were centrifuged and filtered before use.
[0076] The results showed that the lysate obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis had the best proliferation-promoting effect and the highest protein content. Figure 1 DE. Subsequently, the effects of different enzymes on lysis were screened. Considering both peptide content and cell growth density, it was confirmed that the lysate obtained by treatment with proteinase K exhibited the best activity. Figure 1 FG), used in the experiments of the following embodiments.

Morphological observation was performed under an optical microscope (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan). Results showed that while the addition of 4% (v / v) I7Y2 lysate to serum-free DMEM medium did not result in a complete monolayer, cell density was higher than the DMEM control group, and cell shedding was significantly reduced. Furthermore, the cell population showed filamentous outward extension at the edges, suggesting that the lysate may support cell growth to some extent, but the lack of nutrients could not support the formation of typical epithelial cell morphology. Figure 2 A).
[0080] 4.2 Cell viability and cell density
[0081] Digested Vero cells were resuspended in DMEM at a concentration of 1 × 10⁻⁶. 5Cells / mL were seeded in 96-well plates with 4% (v / v) I7Y2 lysate per well (Example 2, section 2.2) and cultured at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 96 h. DMEM without I7Y2 lysate and 10% FBS (i.e., DMEM supplemented with 10% v / v fetal bovine serum, hereinafter the same) were used as controls. Cell viability was assessed every 24 h using a CCK-8 assay kit (GLPBIO, Montclair, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Vero cells were seeded at the same density in 24-well plates with 4% (v / v) I7Y2 lysate, and cell density was assessed using Counterstar for cell counting. Further assays showed that the addition of I7Y2 lysate significantly improved cell viability and density under serum-free conditions. Figure 2 (B&C). The above results indicate that Rhodotorula glutinis lysate has the ability to promote cell growth in a serum-free environment.

[0083] 5.1 Cell migration ability
[0084] Cell migration ability was determined by scratch assay. Vero cells were resuspended in 10% FBS serum medium, DMEM basal medium, and DMEM containing I7Y2 lysate (4% v / v) (same as DMEM-I7Y2 in Example 4), respectively, at 3 × 10⁻⁶. 5 / mL was seeded into 6-well culture plates and cultured at 37 °C in the presence of 5% CO2. When the cells reached 90% confluence, the culture medium was removed, and the surface of the seeded cells was scraped with the tip of a 20 μL pipette, followed by gentle washing with PBS. 2 mL of the corresponding fresh culture medium was added and cultured further. Finally, scratch images were taken at 0 h and 24 h, and the healing rate was calculated using ImageJ software. The results showed that, compared with the DMEM group, the addition of I7Y2 lysate significantly improved cell migration and healing ability. Figure 3 A).
[0085] 5.2 Cell proliferation capacity
[0086] Cell proliferation capacity was determined by EdU staining. Vero cells were resuspended in 10% FBS serum medium, DMEM basal medium, and DMEM containing I7Y2 lysate (4% v / v) (same as DMEM-I7Y2 in Example 4), respectively, with a concentration of 1×10⁻⁶. 5Cells were seeded at 1 / mL in 96-well plates and cultured at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 48 h. Cell proliferation was measured using the Click-iT EdU Cell Proliferation Detection Kit (UElandy, Jiangsu, Suzhou, China) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Fluorescence images were acquired using a Cytation5 Imager reader (Biotek). The percentage of EdU-positive cells was quantified using ImageJ software. The results showed that I7Y2 treatment significantly increased the proportion of EdU-positive cells in DMEM, demonstrating its effective promotion of cell proliferation. Figure 3 B).
[0087] Example 6: Rhodotorula glutinis reduces lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) accumulation, thereby inhibiting the Bcl-2 / Bax / Caspase3 pathway and improving cell apoptosis in DMEM basal medium.
[0088] 6.1 Non-targeted metabolomics detection of Vero cell metabolic changes in different culture media
[0089] Cells were resuspended in DMEM and DMEM medium containing I7Y2 (same as DMEM-I7Y2 in Example 4) at 3.5 × 10⁻⁶. 5 Cells were seeded at 1 / mL density in six-well plates and cultured for 48 h. The cells were then quenched by contacting the bottom with liquid nitrogen. 800 μL of 80% methanol aqueous solution was added, and the cells were transferred to 1.5 mL centrifuge tubes using a scraper. The cells were sonicated (6 min, 480 W, 5 s on, 9 s off), centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 10 min at 4°C, and the supernatant was collected and dried with liquid nitrogen. The supernatant was reconstituted with 200 μL of 50% acetonitrile aqueous solution, sonicated in an ice-water bath for 10 min, and centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 10 min at 4°C. The sample was collected into vials for LC-MS / MS analysis. 10 μL of supernatant from each sample was precisely mixed with the quality control sample to assess the reproducibility and stability of the LC-MS analysis procedure.
[0090] Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS / MS) was used to analyze changes in cell metabolism in different culture media. LC conditions: Thermo Scientific™ Accucore™ C18 column (100 × 2.1 mm, 2.6 μm); in positive ion mode, mobile phase A was acetonitrile with 1 / 1000 formic acid aqueous solution, and mobile phase B was acetonitrile solution; in negative ion mode, mobile phase A was 5 mM ammonium formate, and mobile phase B was acetonitrile solution; flow rate: 0.3 mL / min; column temperature: 35℃; injection volume: 2 μL. Elution conditions: 0–1.0 min, 1% B; 1.0–8.0 min, 1–99% B; 8.0–10.0 min, 99% B; 10.0–10.1 min, 99–1% B; 10.1–12 min, 1% B. Capillary temperature: 320°C; scan range: 70–1050 m / z.
[0091] Raw data acquired by LC-MS was imported into Compound Discoverer 3.1 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) for data processing. Metabolite identification was performed using multiple databases, including mzVault, mzCloud (https: / / www.mzcloud.org / ), and ChemSpider (HMDB, KEGG, and LipidMaps). The obtained metabolites were then statistically analyzed using the online software MetaboAnalyst 6.0 (https: / / www.metaboanalyst.ca / ).
[0092] The results showed that, compared with the 10% FBS group and the I7Y2 group, the level of lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC), a metabolite closely related to apoptosis, was significantly upregulated in the DMEM group. Based on this, it is speculated that the accumulation of intracellular LPC under DMEM culture conditions may be one of the key factors inducing apoptosis in a serum-free environment, while I7Y2 may inhibit the accumulation of this substance. Figure 4 AB).
[0093] 6.2 Detection of LPC content in different culture media
[0094] LPC content in cells was detected using UPLC-MS / MS. Sample pretreatment was the same as for non-targeted metabolomics. HPLC conditions: Thermo Scientific™ Accucore™ C18 Column (100 × 2.1 mm, 2.6 μm); mobile phase A: 0.1% formic acid aqueous solution; mobile phase B: methanol solution; flow rate: 0.3 mL / min; column temperature: 45℃; injection volume: 2 μL. Mass spectrometry conditions: ion source: electrospray ionization; scanning mode: positive ion (ESI+); detection mode: multiple reaction monitoring (MRM); ion source temperature: 550℃; spray voltage: 5500 V; ion source GS1: 55 psi; ion source GS2: 60 psi; curtain gas: 30 psi.
[0095] The results showed that as the serum concentration in the culture medium gradually decreased, the intracellular LPC content gradually increased. Figure 4 C). To verify the apoptosis-inducing effect of LPC, different concentrations of LPC were exogenously added to complete culture medium. The results showed that even in the presence of serum, a certain concentration of LPC could still significantly reduce cell viability and density. Figure 4 DE). In summary, in a nutrient-deficient environment, the accumulation of LPC in Vero cells may be one of the important reasons for apoptosis. However, in the I7Y2-added group, the LPC level in the actively proliferating S phase (36-48h) of Vero cells was significantly lower than that in the DMEM group, indicating that I7Y2 can alleviate LPC accumulation. Figure 4 F).
[0096] 6.3 Apoptosis rate in different culture media
[0097] Vero cells were resuspended in 10% FBS serum medium, 10% FBS + LPC medium (10% FBS serum medium with 50 μg / mL LPC added), DMEM basal medium, and DMEM containing I7Y2 lysate (same as DMEM-I7Y2 in Example 4) at 3 × 10⁻⁶ ppm. 5 Cells were seeded at 2 × 10⁶ mL / mL into 6-well plates and cultured at 37 °C in a 5% CO₂ incubator for 48 h. Apoptosis was detected using Annexin V-FITC. 5 Cells / mL were seeded in six-well plates and cultured for 60 h. 3 × 10⁻⁶ cells / mL were collected. 5 Cells were incubated with Annexin V-FITC binding solution, followed by 5 µL of Annexin V-FITC and 10 μL of propidium iodide staining solution in the dark for 15 min. Apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry within 30 min. The results showed that LPC significantly induced apoptosis, while I7Y2 significantly inhibited apoptosis induced by a serum-free environment. Figure 4 GH).
[0098] 6.4 Expression of apoptosis factors in different culture media
[0099] The intrinsic apoptosis pathway is a key pathway for cells to respond to various stress signals. This pathway modulates mitochondrial outer membrane permeability by regulating the expression balance between the pro-apoptotic protein Bax and the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2, releasing cytochrome C, and activating the caspase cascade, ultimately executing the apoptosis program. Caspase-3 is the most common apoptosis executor. Therefore, this study verified whether I7Y2 could improve Bcl-2 / Bax / Caspase 3-induced apoptosis by reducing LPC accumulation.
[0100] Vero cells were resuspended in 10% FBS serum medium, 10% FBS + LPC medium, DMEM basal medium, and DMEM containing I7Y2 lysate, respectively, at 3 × 10⁻⁶. 5 Cells / mL were seeded into 6-well plates and cultured for 60 h. Total RNA was extracted from the cells according to the HiPureTotal RNA Mini Kit (Magen, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China) instructions. Reverse transcription and gDNA removal were performed using the PrimeScript™ FAST RT reagent Kit with gDNA Eraser (Takara, Beijing, China). Subsequently, the RNA was extracted according to the TB Green® Premix Ex Taq™ II kit (Takara) instructions. bcl-2 , bax , caspase3 Primers for gene expression level determination are shown in Table 2. The relative expression level of the target gene was determined using 2... –ΔΔCt calculate.
[0101] RT-qPCR analysis showed that, compared with the 10% FBS group, the DMEM and LPC treatment groups had significantly lower levels of... bcl-2 / bax Expression was significantly downregulated. caspase-3 The expression of was significantly upregulated ( Figure 4 I). Compared to the DMEM group, the I7Y2 treatment significantly upregulated [the condition / effect]. bcl-2 / bax And lowered caspase-3 The expression ( Figure 4 J). I7Y2 lysate may alleviate Vero cell apoptosis under nutrient-deprived conditions by reducing LPC accumulation in cells in a serum-free environment, thereby inhibiting the activation of the Bcl-2 / Bax / Caspase-3 signaling pathway.

[0103] Example 7: Effect of serum-free medium OMPB11-I7Y2 on Vero cells
[0104] 7.1 Growth-promoting effect of I7Y2 compared to commercial yeast extract
[0105] Based on previous research findings that Rhodotorula glutinis I7Y2 lysate can significantly promote Vero cell proliferation in basal DMEM medium, in order to further explore its application potential, I7Y2 lysate was added to the serum-free medium OMPB11 (Huankai Biotechnology, Guangdong, China) developed in-house to evaluate its effect on Vero cells.
[0106] The growth-promoting effects of two commercially available lysates, Brand 1 (Y8020, Solarbio), Brand 2 (V900886, Sigma-Aldrich), and I7Y2, were assessed using a cell counting method. Vero cells were seeded at 80,000 cells / mL in 24-well plates, and different lysates were added at 3% (v / v). Cells were incubated at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 48 h before cell counting. The results showed that I7Y2 had a stronger growth-promoting effect than the commercial yeast extract. Figure 5 A).
[0107] 7.2 Growth curve of Vero cells cultured in serum-free medium OMPB11-I7Y2
[0108] Vero cells were resuspended in 10% FBS, OMPB11-I7Y2 (serum-free medium OMPB11 with 3% (v / v) I7Y2 lysate), and a commercial serum-free medium (AM146, Optimum Biotech). Cells were seeded at a density of 5000 cells per well in 24-well plates, and cell density was measured every 24 h using a cell counter. Growth curves were plotted after 7 consecutive days of measurements. The medium was changed every 72 h during the measurement period.
[0109] The results showed that adding I7Y2 to OMPB11 significantly increased cell density. Growth curve analysis indicated that the cell proliferation rate in this group was relatively slow, but the highest cell density reached was comparable to that of the 10% FBS group and a commercial serum-free culture medium. Figure 5 B).
[0110] 7.3 Passage stability of Vero cells cultured in serum-free medium OMPB11-I7Y2
[0111] Vero cells were loaded at 4 × 105 Cells / mL were seeded in 10% FBS, OMPB11-I7Y2, and a commercially available culture medium (AM146, OPMA), and cultured at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 48 h. Serum-containing and serum-free media were digested with trypsin and recombinant trypsin, respectively, and then passaged to determine passage stability.
[0112] The results are as follows Figure 5 As shown in C, cells in OMPB11-I7Y2 medium do not require acclimatization and can be stably passaged after three generations. The passage effect is better than that of a certain commercial medium, but still slightly worse than that of 10% FBS medium. This is likely due to the slower cell proliferation in serum-free medium under the same culture time.
[0113] 7.4 Application of serum-free medium OMPB11-I7Y2 for culturing Vero cells
[0114] Vero cells are widely used for various virus cultures. Therefore, the ability of Vero cells to culture poliovirus (vaccine strain) in different culture media was tested by determining the half-maximal tissue culture infectious dose (TCID50). The viral titers obtained from 10% FBS, OMPB11-I7Y2, and a commercially available brand of culture medium were 6.34, 6.73, and 6.27 Log10 TCID50 / mL, respectively, indicating that there was no significant difference in the ability of Vero cells to culture the virus between OMPB11-I7Y2 and 10% FBS media. Figure 5 D).
[0115] 7.5 Cell cycle changes in Vero cells cultured in serum-free medium OMPB11-I7Y2
[0116] Cell cycle changes were detected using the PI single staining method. Vero cells were resuspended in 10% FBS, OMPB11-I7Y2, and a commercially available culture medium (AM146, OPMI). Cells were then cultured at a concentration of 2 × 10⁶ cells / mL. 5 Cells / mL were seeded in six-well plates and cultured for 36 h. 3×10⁶ cells / mL were collected. 5Centrifuge each cell at 1000 rpm for 5 min, discard the supernatant, wash with pre-chilled PBS, and then add 1 mL of PBS and gently pipette to disperse the cells. Take 4 mL of pre-chilled 95% ethanol and add the cell suspension (placed on ice) dropwise to the ethanol solution, tapping or vortexing after each drop to mix thoroughly. Fix at 4 °C for 2 h or longer. Centrifuge the fixed cell suspension at 1500 rpm for 5 min, resuspend in 3-5 mL of pre-chilled PBS, wash, centrifuge again, and carefully aspirate the supernatant. Prepare propidium iodide (PI) staining solution according to the kit instructions, adding 15 μL of propidium iodide (25×) and 1 μL of RNase A to each 0.4 mL of buffer. Before flow cytometry analysis, add 0.4 mL of staining solution to each tube of cells, incubate at 37 °C in the dark for half an hour, then store at 4 °C. Perform flow cytometry analysis within 24 h.
[0117] The results are as follows Figure 5 As shown in E, in OMPB11-I7Y2 medium, the proportion of cells in the G0 / G1 phase (pre-DNA synthesis phase) is similar to that in 10% FBS, both shorter than that in a certain commercial medium; the proportion of cells in the S phase (DNA synthesis phase) is higher than that in 10% FBS and a certain commercial medium. That is, OMPB11-I7Y2 medium is conducive to cell DNA synthesis, which further promotes cell growth and proliferation.
[0118] 7.6 Apoptosis of Vero cells cultured in serum-free medium OMPB11-I7Y2
[0119] Cell apoptosis was detected using Annexin V-FITC. Cells were resuspended in 10% FBS, OMPB11-I7Y2, and a commercial serum-free medium at a concentration of 2 × 10⁻⁶. 5 Cells / mL were seeded in six-well plates and cultured for 60 h. 3 × 10⁻⁶ cells / mL were collected. 5 Cells were incubated with Annexin V-FITC binding solution, followed by 5 µL of Annexin V-FITC and 10 μL of propidium iodide staining solution in the dark for 15 min. Apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry within 30 min. The results showed that the apoptosis rate of the OMPB11-I7Y2 group was not significantly different from that of the 10% FBS group, but was significantly lower than that of the DMEM group and the above-mentioned commercial serum-free culture medium ( ). Figure 5 F).
[0120] Example 8: Specific molecular target recognition of Rhodotorula glutinis I7Y2
[0121] 8.1. Discovery of Specific Molecular Targets for I7Y2
[0122] Using blast+ 2.12.0 for... Rhodotorula mucilaginosaSpecific sequence searches were performed on the whole genomes of all isolates in the I7Y2 and NT databases, as well as three other Rhodotorula glutinis isolates from our team. Based on the results obtained from the analysis... Rhodotorula mucilaginosa I7Y2 has a unique sequence that distinguishes it from other yeasts. Primers were designed using Snapgene software to target this specific sequence, yielding the specific molecular target sequence SEQ ID No. 2 for recognizing this bacterium.
[0123] 8.2. Validation of the effectiveness of I7Y2 specific molecule in recognizing targets
[0124] The effectiveness of the specific molecular recognition target sequence of *Rhodotorula glutinis* I7Y2 was verified using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and agarose gel electrophoresis. Multiple yeast DNAs were used as templates for detection; DNA extraction methods were the same as before. The amplification primer sequences were: X6-F: 5'-AAACAGCATGATTCTTGCCAAC -3' and X6-R: 5'-GTTCAACGGAGAACGTTACCTTC -3'.
[0125] PCR reaction system preparation: 2×PCR Mix, 12.5 μL; X6-F (10 μmol / L), 1 μL; X6-R (10 μmol / L), 1 μL; template DNA (2.5 ng / μL), 1 μL; ddH2O, 9.5 μL;
[0126] PCR reaction conditions: 95℃ for 3 min; 95℃ for 15 s, 53℃ for 20 s, 72℃ for 5 s, for a total of 30 cycles; 72℃ for 5 min; 4℃, ∞.
[0127] After PCR, 5-10 μl of the PCR product was subjected to 1.5% agarose gel electrophoresis. If Rhodotorula glutinis I7Y2 could form a single specific band at 363 bp, while other yeasts could not form a single band at 363 bp, it indicates that the target has good recognition. Rhodotorula mucilaginosa The performance of I7Y2.
[0128] As attached Figure 6 As shown in Table 2, except Rhodotorula mucilaginosa DNA from I7Y2 was amplified using primers X6-F (5'-AAACAGCATGATTCTTGCCAAC -3') and X6-R (5'-GTTCAACGGAGAACGTTACCTTC -3'). A specific 363bp amplification product was formed after amplification, while no specific amplification products were observed in other yeast isolates. This result suggests that the molecular target sequence can be amplified and detected using primers X6-F and X6-R, yielding a single band that can specifically identify the target. Rhodotorula mucilaginosaI7Y2 and other yeasts ( Figure 6 (Table 3).

[0130] 8.3 Detection of the effectiveness of I7Y2 specific molecule in recognizing targets by real-time quantitative PCR
[0131] The effectiveness and specificity of primers X6-F and X6-R were further verified using quantitative real-time PCR. First, *Rhodotorula glutinis* I7Y2 was cultured in malt extract medium, and DNA was extracted and serially diluted to obtain DNA concentrations of 300, 30, 3, 0.3, 0.03, 0.003, and 0.0003 ng / μL, which served as qPCR standards. Each template was tested in triplicate.
[0132] qPCR reaction system preparation: 2×SYBR Green Premix, 10 μL; X6-F (10 μmol / L), 0.8 μL; X6-R (10 μmol / L), 0.8 μL; template DNA, 2 μL; ddH2O, 6.4 μL.
[0133] qPCR amplification program: 95℃ for 30 s; 95℃ for 5 s, 60℃ for 30 s (40 cycles).
[0134] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the real-time Ct values for qPCR using primers X6-F and X6-R for quantitative detection. Figure 7 A indicates that the concentration of DNA extracted from Rhodotorula glutinis I7Y2 ranges from 0.0003 to 300 ng / μL. The results show that when the concentration of DNA extracted from Rhodotorula glutinis I7Y2 is ≥0.003 ng / μL, the Ct fluorescence curve is relatively stable; therefore, the detection limit of this primer is 0.003 ng / μL.
[0135] Figure 7 B represents the standard curve for this primer. Plotting Ct in qPCR on the ordinate and the logarithm of the bacterial DNA concentration of the standard on the abscissa, the fitted standard curve is y = -3.2386x + 18.547, with R² = 0.9935. Therefore, these two target primers have good specificity and can be used specifically for the detection of Rhodotorula glutinis I7Y2.
