The application discloses a peony
endophyte, a method for producing exopolysaccharide by the peony
endophyte and application of the exopolysaccharide, and the peony
endophyte is obtained by culturing root, stem and leaf parts of peony, and the peony endophyte strain with high exopolysaccharide yield is screened out through
color reaction and exopolysaccharide
content determination; the strain is identified as Kosakonia cowanii LYH-L3, and the exopolysaccharide yield of the strain is 1.176 mg / mL. Safety determination experiments such as
red blood cell hemolysis experiment and zebra fish
acute toxicity experiment show that the exopolysaccharide of the application has no
irritation and
acute toxicity; and through zebra fish model experiment, in-vitro water absorption and water
loss rate determination and
human body test, it is shown that the exopolysaccharide produced by the peony endophyte strain has a moisturizing effect and a
skin barrier repair function, and the application provides a theoretical basis for application of the exopolysaccharide produced by the peony endophyte in preparation of natural moisturizing and repairing
cosmetics,
skin care products, medicines and other related products, and provides a new target and a new direction for development and utilization of
plant resources with Chinese characteristics.
