Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of microorganisms, and more particularly to Weissmannia coagulans capable of inhibiting the activity of α-glucosidase and / or α-amylase, and applications thereof. [Background technology]

[0002] Diabetes mellitus (Diabetes mellitus) is an endocrine disorder caused by genetic and acquired environmental factors. It is characterized by numerous complications, a long-term and complex illness, and significantly reduces patients' quality of life and places a heavy economic burden on families and society. Diabetes has become the third most common chronic disease affecting human health worldwide, making effective prevention and treatment of diabetes urgently needed. Research has shown that the highly active digestive enzyme α-glucosidase promotes carbohydrate digestion and absorption in the intestine, increasing plasma glucose levels. Inhibiting α-glucosidase activity can slow carbohydrate absorption and increase insulin secretion, thereby maintaining low postprandial plasma glucose levels in diabetic patients. Therefore, inhibiting α-glucosidase activity can alleviate and treat diabetes, and most commercially available antidiabetic drugs are inhibitors of this enzyme. Alternatively, α-amylase can be inhibited to block the conversion of starch to sugar, thereby lowering plasma glucose levels and controlling blood glucose levels. For example, acarbose acts as an inhibitor of both α-glucosidase and α-amylase.

[0003] In recent years, as the scientific community has deepened its research on probiotics, they have increasingly played an important role in the prevention and treatment of human diseases, demonstrating great potential. Probiotics refer to microorganisms that, when ingested in sufficient amounts, improve the health of the host. Numerous studies have shown that probiotics, prebiotics, or synbiotics can significantly alleviate the clinical symptoms of diabetic patients. According to literature reports, the supernatants of Lactobacillus GG and Bifidobacterium F-35 both exhibited excellent inhibitory effects on α-glucosidase activity, with inhibition rates reaching 29.41% and 21.82%, respectively. Chen et al. also found that Lactobacillus CCFM0528 improved blood glucose tolerance in diabetic mice, lowering blood glucose levels by approximately 43%. Furthermore, Bacillus subtilis natto has been shown to have excellent blood glucose-lowering properties. Compared to chemotherapy, probiotics are safer and have fewer toxic side effects, making biological therapy more attractive.

[0004] Weizmannia coagulans, formerly known as Bacillus coagulans, has been renamed and is one of the most popular probiotics currently being studied. Numerous studies have reported that this strain has beneficial effects in preventing and treating various human diseases, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, constipation, and irritable bowel syndrome. According to existing research reports, the cell-free extract of Bacillus coagulans JA845 has an inhibitory rate of 39.51% against α-glucosidase activity. Similarly, Bacillus coagulans VHProbi C08 from Qingdao Weilan Biotechnology Co., Ltd. also has excellent blood glucose lowering effect. After 6 weeks of intragastric administration, the fasting blood glucose levels of mice in the Bacillus coagulans pre-treatment group were reduced by 46.46% compared to the positive control group, but the effect needs to be improved. Currently, there is no Weissmannia coagulans that can inhibit the activities of both α-glucosidase and α-amylase. In order to improve the inhibitory efficiency, it is urgent to further develop Weissmannia coagulans with better effects and functions, which is of great significance for the production of products for the treatment or auxiliary treatment of diabetes and blood glucose control. Summary of the Invention [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] Another object of the present invention is to provide applications of the Weissmannia coagulant SA9 strain.

[0010] The above object of the present invention is achieved by the following technical solutions.

[0011] The present invention provides the Weizmannnia coagulans SA9 strain, which is capable of inhibiting α-glucosidase and / or α-amylase activity. The strain was deposited at the Guangdong Provincial Bacterial Species Preservation Center on June 6, 2022, under accession number GDMCC NO: 62517. The SA9 strain was isolated from mulberry fermentation residue and has high acid-producing and DPPH free radical scavenging abilities. The SA9 strain exhibits a high inhibitory effect on α-glucosidase, a key enzyme responsible for elevated blood glucose levels, achieving over 80% of the efficacy of the diabetes treatment acarbose. The SA9 bacterial suspension (fermentation broth) exhibited an 85% inhibition rate, the somatic cell metabolites inhibited 96%, and the cell-free extract inhibited 87%. At the same time, the SA9 strain also has excellent inhibitory ability against α-amylase, with the fermentation broth's α-amylase inhibition rate reaching 100%, equivalent to that of acarbose, but safer than acarbose and without toxic side effects. In other words, the SA9 strain can efficiently inhibit α-glucosidase and α-amylase, and by inhibiting the activity of α-glucosidase and α-amylase, it can block the conversion and absorption of sugar, contributing to blood sugar control and the alleviation of diabetes.

[0012] Therefore, the present invention provides the use of Weissmannia coagulan SA9 strain and / or its fermentation broth in the inhibition of α-glucosidase and / or α-amylase, the manufacture of inhibitors of α-glucosidase and / or α-amylase, and the manufacture of products for the alleviation or treatment of diabetes or the control of blood glucose levels.

[0018] More preferably, the SA9 strain is inoculated into a medium at an inoculum amount of 1%, and cultured with shaking at 37°C and 180 r / min for 48 hours to obtain the fermentation broth.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0024] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific examples, which are not intended to limit the invention in any way. The reagents, methods, and equipment used in the present invention are conventional in the art unless otherwise specified.

[0025] Unless otherwise specified, the reagents and materials used in the following examples are commercially available.

[0026] The media used in the following examples are as follows:

[0027] MRS broth medium containing 10 g of tryptone, 10 g of beef extract, 4 g of yeast extract powder, 20 g of glucose, 2 g of dipotassium hydrogen phosphate (anhydrous), 2 g of triammonium citrate (anhydrous), 5 g of sodium acetate trihydrate, 0.2 g of magnesium sulfate (including heptahydrate), 0.05 g of manganese sulfate (including tetrahydrate), and 1 g of Tween-80, with a final pH of 6.8±0.2. [Example]

[0028] Strain screening and identification (1) Isolation and purification of strains Fresh commercially available mulberry bark is washed with water, placed in a fermentation tank, and sugar solutions of different concentrations are added for natural fermentation. After fermentation is complete, an appropriate amount of fermentation residue is weighed and added to an Erlenmeyer flask containing 100 mL of MRS liquid medium. The mixture is then cultured in a shaker at 37°C for 48 hours. 1 mL of the mixed bacterial solution is then drawn out and serially diluted with sterilized water to a concentration of 10. -2 , 10 -3 , 10 -4 , 10 -5 , 10 -6 Five serial dilutions of the above were spread onto MRS plates. Different single colonies were then randomly selected from the plates and streaked onto solid MRS plates for purification. The resulting pure cultures were then cultured at 37°C for 48 hours. The resulting pure cultures were rinsed with 20% glycerol, blotted, placed in glycerol tubes, and stored in a refrigerator at -20°C. (2) Molecular biological identification of bacteria After purification, bacterial DNA was extracted using SDS and conserved bacterial sequences were amplified using universal primers 27f (5'-AGAGTTTGATCCTGGCTCAG-3') and 1492r (5'-TACCTTGTTACGACTT-3'). The amplified products were then sent to a sequencing company for sequencing. The resulting sequences were combined and compared with the NCBI database, yielding 22 Weissmannia coagulans strains. After prescreening to measure acid production and DPPH free radical scavenging abilities, the results are shown in Figures 1 and 2. Five strains of Bacillus coagulans with superior performance were identified and named SA19, SA9, SA12, SA4, and SA6, respectively. A tree diagram of the five strains is shown in Figure 3. The results showed that the 16S rDNA sequence of the strain of the present invention showed high homology with Weizmannia coagulans in GenBank (Note: The original Bacillus coagulans was renamed Weizmannia coagulans, and the strain was named and deposited using the latest Latin name in the present invention). (3) Morphological observation of bacteria The purified SA9 strain was inoculated into MRS liquid medium and cultured at 37°C for 48 hours. A small amount of the bacterial solution was taken and the bacterial morphology was observed using Gram staining. The results are shown in Figure 4. The bacteria were long and rod-shaped, and Gram staining was positive, revealing a purple color. Based on the results of the molecular biological identification and bacterial staining observation described above, the SA9 strain isolated by the present invention, which has high acid-producing ability and DPPH free radical scavenging ability, was identified as Weizmanniacoagulans and was preserved at the Guangdong Provincial Microorganism Species Preservation Center on June 6, 2022, with the deposit number GDMCC NO: 62517 and the deposit address being 5th floor, Building 59, Dayuan, No. 100, Xianlie Middle Road, Guangzhou City.

[0030] α-Amylase inhibition experiment with Weissmannia coagran SA9 1. Sample Preparation (1) Experimental samples: The fermentation broth (bacterial suspension), fermentation supernatant, bacterial cell metabolites, and cell-free extract of the SA9 strain were prepared in the same manner as in Example 2 for the acarbose group and the PBS group, using lactic acid solutions with pH values ​​of 3.5 and 4.0. (2) Starch medium: 6 g of soluble starch and 3 g of agar were accurately weighed and placed in a 250 ml Erlenmeyer flask, which had been sterilized. (3) α-amylase solution (1 mg / L): 5 mg of the required α-amylase (extracted from porcine pancreas, purchased commercially) was accurately weighed and dissolved in 5 mL of PBS buffer solution, and used immediately after preparation. 2. Experimental Method A small amount of starch medium was poured into a sterile plate. Once solidified, an Oxford cup (6 mm inner diameter, 8 mm outer diameter, 10 mm height) was placed on the surface of the medium using tweezers. The plate was then filled with medium up to about two-thirds of the height of the Oxford cup. Once solidified, the Oxford cup was removed. Three Oxford cups were placed on each plate. 50 μL of each of the above samples was mixed with 50 μL of α-amylase solution and added to the wells. A blank control was prepared by mixing 50 μL of PBS with 50 μL of α-amylase solution. A negative medium control was prepared by mixing 50 μL of MRS with 50 μL of α-amylase solution. An acidity negative control was prepared by mixing 50 μL of lactic acid with 50 μL of α-amylase solution. The plates were then placed in a 37°C incubator and incubated for 24 hours. The plates were then removed, stained with diluted iodine solution, and observed. The size of the clear zone was measured using a vernier caliper. 3, results The inhibitory effects of different sample groups on α-amylase are shown in Figure 6. The acarbose-positive group showed 100% inhibition of α-amylase, with no clear zone formed. The bacterial suspension group also showed no clear zone. The diameter of the clear zone in the fermentation supernatant was 14.5 mm. The pH 4.0 lactic acid-negative control group showed a clear zone diameter of 19.5 mm. The MRS control group showed a clear zone diameter of 20.4 mm. The PBS blank control group showed a clear zone diameter of 20.6 mm. These results indicate that lactic acid and MRS components have no inhibitory effect on α-amylase, meaning that the lactic acid and medium components in the fermentation broth do not affect the experimental results. The inhibitory effect of Weissmannia coagulans SA9 fermentation broth on α-amylase was similar to that of acarbose, with 100% inhibition of enzyme activity, and the fermentation supernatant showed an inhibition rate of approximately 50%. Bacterial cell metabolites and cell-free extracts had no significant effect.

[0031] To further illustrate the α-amylase inhibitory effect of the fermentation broth group, a dose gradient experiment was conducted using a 2-fold dilution method on Weissmannia coagulan fermentation broth and fermentation supernatant. The results are shown in Figures 7 and 8. From left to right, the samples are undiluted, diluted 4-fold, and diluted 8-fold. The diameters of the clear zones in the supernatant group were 15.0 mm, 18.5 mm, and 20.7 mm, respectively, while those in the fermentation broth group were 11.3 mm, 12.1 mm, and 16.4 mm, respectively. As the concentration decreased, the clear zones became larger and the edges became more distinct. After an 8-fold dilution, the fermentation supernatant's α-amylase inhibition rate was nearly zero, while the fermentation broth maintained 50% inhibition even after an 8-fold dilution. This indicates that the α-amylase inhibition by Weissmannia coagulan SA9 and its fermentation products was dose-dependent.

[0032] As can be seen from the above, the Weissmannia coagulan SA9 strain provided by the present invention has excellent inhibitory effects on α-glucosidase and α-amylase, and by inhibiting the activity of α-glucosidase and α-amylase, it blocks the conversion and absorption of sugars, thereby facilitating blood sugar control, alleviating diabetes, and having beneficial effects on the prevention and treatment of diabetes, and can be used in products to lower blood sugar levels. Currently, Weissmannia coagulan is registered as an edible probiotic in many countries and regions. Its characteristics include high safety, high temperature resistance, spore formation, and processability. Weissmannia coagulan can be provided to diabetic patients in various product forms, providing more treatment options and benefiting diabetic patients in terms of blood sugar control and maintaining a healthy and good mental state. Furthermore, Weissmannia coagulan has simple fermentation conditions, is easy to industrialize, and is low-cost, making it a probiotic strain with great market potential.

[0033] The above examples are preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the above examples, and any other changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, and simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be considered as equivalent substitutes and fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
