Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to biotechnology, and specifically to a high-throughput screening method for microbial strains.
Background Art
[0002] Ribonucleic acid (i.e., RNA) is one of the important biopolymers and is widely applied in fields such as food seasonings, nutrition and health care, and biomedicine. Currently, the industrial production of RNA is mainly carried out by extracting from pure-cultured Candida yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae or brewer's yeast. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a food safety level (GRAS) microorganism that does not produce any toxins, and has a fast growth and subculture rate, is easy to culture and rich in nutritional value, so it is the most ideal RNA source recognized.
[0003] Since the RNA content of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is relatively low, averaging 6% - 8%, the costs of products such as RNA and nucleotides derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae are high. In order to reduce production costs and enhance the competitiveness of products, it is necessary to further improve the RNA content of yeast strains.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
[0018] The high-throughput breeding method of high-nucleic acid yeast provided by the present invention reflects the RNA content by fluorescence value, adopts the cell sorting technology by flow cytometry, and rapidly breeds dominant strains with high RNA content.
[0019] High-throughput screening is a more efficient method compared to conventional screening. The high-throughput breeding method for high-nucleic acid yeast provided in the present invention involves first staining yeast cells with RNA dyes during a large-scale screening process. After staining, the cells emit fluorescence at specific wavelengths, and fluorescence intensity and RNA content show a positive correlation. Fluorescence analysis is then performed on the stained cells using a flow cytometer, allowing for rapid screening of cells with high fluorescence intensity (i.e., high RNA content).
[0020] In a specific embodiment provided by the present invention, high nucleic acid yeast is screened by a method comprising the following steps.
[0021] (1) Construction of a microbial mutant library: In a specific embodiment of the present invention, a microbial mutant library is obtained by mutagenesis.

[0028] (4) High-throughput screening of evolutionary libraries: In a specific embodiment of the present invention, a mutagenic library is stained with an RNA-specific fluorescent dye, and after staining, fluorescence analysis is performed on individual cells using a flow cytometer. Strains with high fluorescence intensity (i.e., high RNA content) are selected by utilizing the property that fluorescence intensity and RNA content in yeast cells show a positive correlation.
[0029] (5) Scale-up verification: In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the microbial strain selected in the previous step can be further subjected to fermentation verification in a fermentation tank, and its RNA content can be measured.
[0030] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the fermentation medium consists of, by mass percentage, 2-6% glucose, 0.5-2% yeast extract, 0.2-0.4% magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, 0.2-0.4% zinc sulfate heptahydrate, 0.5-1.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate, and the remainder being water, with a pH of 5.0-6.0. In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the mixture is stirred at 300-600 rpm, aerated at 3-6 L / min, and the biomass and RNA content are measured at regular intervals.
[0031] In an embodiment of the present invention, mutagenesis is performed using atmospheric pressure, room temperature plasma, with an output of 100 W and a gas flow rate of 10 L / min.

[0032] The method for detecting biomass and RNA content in the embodiments of the present invention is as follows.
[0033] Biomass detection method: 1. Take a 10 mL centrifuge tube and accurately weigh the empty tube m1. 2. Accurately take 10 mL of fermentation liquid, centrifuge at 5000 rpm for 10 min, discard the supernatant, dry at 105°C until constant weight is reached, and weigh m2. 3. Biomass DCW (g / L) = (m2 - m1) * 100.
[0034] RNA detection methods: Reagent: 1.0.5N perchloric acid (HClO4): Take 400 mL of distilled water, add 21.5 mL of 70% (or 22.1 mL of 68%) perchloric acid, and then add distilled water to bring the total volume to 500 mL. 2.0.25N perchloric acid (HClO4): Take 250 mL of 0.5N perchloric acid (HClO4) and dilute it with distilled water to 500 mL.
[0035] Apparatus: (1) Milligram-class balance, (2) 4000 rpm centrifuge (capable of separating yeast), (3) Centrifuge test tubes (at least 10 mL capacity), (4) Spectrophotometer (260 nm), (5) 70°C water bath, (6) 4°C cold water bath, (7) 10 mL and 1 mL pipette guns, (8) 100 mL volumetric flask.
[0036] method: 1. If using dried yeast powder, weigh 0.06 to 0.15 g of yeast and add it to a centrifuge tube. If using 18% yeast milk, weigh 0.4 to 0.8 g. If using 3.5% liquid, weigh 1.5 to 3.0 g. Add 2.8 mL of cold 0.25 N HClO4 to a centrifuge tube and bathe in water at 4°C for 15 minutes. 3. Centrifuge at 4000 rpm for 10 minutes. 4. Gently discard any floating material on the surface, add 45 mL of 0.5 N HClO, shake to mix uniformly, and bathe in water at 70°C for 15 minutes, shaking once every 3-4 minutes. Centrifuge at 4000 rpm for 10 minutes, aspirate 1 mL of the supernatant, and dilute to 100 mL with distilled water. The absorbance was measured at 5.260 nm, and distilled water was used as a blank control. Calculation formula: %RNA in dried yeast = (absorbance × dilution factor × 0.03365 × 5) / (sample mass × percentage of solid matter in the sample) × 100% In the calculation process for the RNA content in dried yeast according to the present invention, the sample weight is converted to milligrams. For example, if the weight of the weighed dried yeast is 145 mg, the absorbance is 0.7, and the solid content is 96%, the calculation process for the RNA content in the obtained dried yeast is: %RNA = (0.7 × 100 × 0.03365 × 5) / (145 mg × 0.96) × 100%.
[0037] Explanation of related nouns according to the present invention: OD260 / OD600 refers to the RNA content of a single bacterial cell. FV / OD600 refers to the fluorescence intensity of a single bacterial cell (after staining). DCW refers to the dry weight of the bacterial cells.

[0039] [Table 1]
[0040] The Saccharomyces cerevisiae FX-2 strain used in this invention was deposited with the China Center for the Preservation of Typical Cultures (CCTCC) on August 1, 2016, with deposit number CCTCC NO: M2016418. This strain is described in the published patent application with disclosure number CN108220175A.
[0041] (Example 1) Mutagenesis of the starting strain: Saccharomyces cerevisiae FX-2 was cultured in 100 mL of YPD medium at 30°C and 200 rpm for 24 hours with shaking. Then, 1 mL of the bacterial suspension was aspirated, and the cells were collected by centrifugation at 12000 rpm for 1 minute. The cells were washed and precipitated twice with phosphate buffer, and 1 mL of prepared 5% ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) (containing 5 g of ethyl methanesulfonate per 100 mL of solution) was added. The mixture was homogenized, and the culture was shaken at 30°C and 50 rpm for 30 minutes, followed by centrifugation and washing and precipitation twice. Cell restoration: 5 mL of YPD medium was added to the above cell precipitate to resuspend it, and after static incubation at 30°C for 60 minutes, the cells were collected by centrifugation at 5000 rpm for 5 minutes. Adaptive evolution of the mutagenesis library: 6.7 g of YNB, 20 g of ammonium sulfate, and 100 mg of 6-azauracil were prepared in 1 L of evolution medium solution, filtered through 0.22 μm to remove bacteria, 50 mL of evolution medium was taken, the above bacterial cells were resuspended, and the culture was incubated at 30°C and 200 rpm for 24 hours with shaking. Then, 0.5 mL of the culture solution was aspirated and transferred to fresh evolution medium and cultured for another 24 hours. This process was repeated 50 times for subculturing, and the concentration of the inhibitory substance was gradually increased to 200, 300, 400, and 500 mg / L. After evolution was complete, the bacterial suspension obtained from the final culture was collected, and the bacterial cells were collected by centrifugation. Figure 1 shows the changes in the OD600 and RNA content of the obtained bacterial cells in relation to the concentration of the inhibitory substance. Here, (a) shows the change in adaptive evolution bacterial cell OD600, and (b) shows the change in adaptive evolution RNA content. As can be seen from Figure 1, the bacterial OD600 value and RNA content increase as the concentration of the inhibitory substance increases. High-throughput screening of evolutionary libraries: SYTO (registered trademark) RNASelect (trademark) was diluted 10,000-fold to prepare a 500 nM staining solution. 1 mL was aspirated and added to the cells obtained by centrifugation after evolution. The cells were resuspended, incubated at 30°C and 50 rpm for 20 minutes with shaking, and then centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 5 minutes to collect the cells. The cells were washed twice with phosphate buffer, precipitated, and resuspended. Fluorescence analysis was performed on the resuspended cells using a flow cytometer, with selection conditions: excitation wavelength 490 nm, emission wavelength 530 nm. The flow cytometer analysis showed that in the evolved cell library, the fluorescence of one cell cluster was significantly higher than that of other cells. Figure 2 shows the relationship between RNA content in yeast cells and fluorescence intensity. Here, (a) shows the relationship between RNA content in yeast cells and fluorescence intensity, and (b) shows the correlation analysis between RNA content in yeast cells and fluorescence intensity. As can be seen from Figure 2, the RNA content in yeast cells shows a linear correlation with fluorescence intensity. Figure 3 shows the results of cell sorting by flow cytometry. Here, (a) shows the relationship between the fluorescence intensity and lateral scattering intensity of the starting strain, (b) shows the relationship between the fluorescence intensity and cell number of the starting strain, (c) shows the relationship between the fluorescence intensity and lateral scattering intensity of the mutagenic evolution library, and (d) shows the relationship between the fluorescence intensity and cell number of the mutagenic evolution library. As can be seen from Figure 3, when the evolved cell library was sorted by flow cytometry, the fluorescence of one cell cluster was clearly higher than that of the other cells. Scale-up verification: The dominant strain A, screened using the flow cytometer described above, underwent fermentation verification in a 3L fermenter. The fermentation medium consisted of 6% glucose, 2% yeast extract, 0.4% magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, 0.4% zinc sulfate heptahydrate, 1.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate, and the remainder water, expressed by mass percentage. The pH was 5.5, the medium was stirred at 600 rpm, aerated at 4 L / min, and the biomass and RNA content were measured at regular intervals. Upon completion of fermentation, the RNA content reached 15.2%, and the dry weight of the bacterial cells reached 51.7 g / L. Figure 4 shows the results of the scale-up verification of dominant strain A in a 3L fermenter. As can be seen from Figure 4, the RNA content obtained after fermentation culture of the screened dominant strain A in a 3L fermenter is clearly higher than that of the starting strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae FX-2.
