In another aspect, the invention provides an application of autotrophic Pseudonocardia G-5H1 in preparing calcitriol and/or calcitriol.
In some embodiments, the use is the preparation of calcitol by a two-phase fermentation process.
In some embodiments, the use is the preparation of calcitriol by a two-phase fermentation process.
Different fermentation media have different fermentation effects and different effects on the generation of target products.
On the other hand, the inventors found that the above-mentioned primary fermentation medium is used in the above-mentioned two-phase fermentation process for preparing calcitriol or calcifediol, and the yield of the target product is relatively low, and thus the primary fermentation medium can be optimally improved. The inventor optimizes the main components of the original fermentation medium, such as carbon source, nitrogen source, inorganic salt and the like, and discovers that the optimized fermentation medium can improve the yield of target products.
For optimal improvement of the carbon source, the inventors used glucose, fructose, mannitol, glycerol, maltose, dextrin, corn flour, corn steep liquor, soluble starch, galactose, lactose, sorbitol, xylose and sucrose as initial carbon sources, respectively, and evaluated the conversion of calcitol under each condition. The results show that the conversion rate can be better improved when the sucrose and the glycerol are used as single carbon sources, and the sucrose is used as the first quick-acting carbon source of the fermentation medium in consideration of the fact that the price of the glycerol is about 2 times that of the sucrose. And determining the corn steep liquor as a second long-acting carbon source through multiple optimization. In view of the seed engagement, it is advantageous to add 5g/L glucose. After a series of test comparisons, the combination of 10g/L sucrose, 5g/L glucose and 15.37g/L corn steep liquor was determined to be the preferred combination.
After determining the preferred carbon source composition, the inventors compared 14 common nitrogen sources including peptone, tryptone, yeast powder, soy peptone, malt extract, beef extract, enzymatic casein, corn steep liquor, corn flour, soybean meal, cotton seed meal, soluble fish meal, L-tyrosine and phytone peptone (Phytone, BD company) for the purpose of optimizing the nitrogen source. The results show that tryptone, yeast powder, soybean peptone and soybean cake powder can well improve the conversion rate; the multi-element combination optimization shows that the combination of yeast powder and soybean peptone has obvious advantages in the aspects of potency, production cost and the like. After a series of test comparisons, the combination of 35g/L soytone and 31.5g/L yeast powder was determined to be the preferred combination.
Further, the inventors conducted comparative tests on NaCl, KCl (potassium chloride), mgSO 4 (magnesium sulfate), feSO 4 (ferrous sulfate), caCl 2 (calcium chloride), mnCl 2 (manganese dichloride), (NH 4)2SO4 (ammonium sulfate), K 2HPO4, naF, etc., and as a result, the addition of MgSO 4 and FeSO 4 could significantly improve the conversion rate of calcitol (this is not excluded because the enzymes involved in the conversion need Mg 2 + and Fe 2+), phosphate could promote the growth of cells, naCl plays an important role in the electron transfer of respiratory chain, and a certain amount of CaCO 3 could balance the pH value of the fermentation broth and facilitate the growth of mycelium.
Further, in view of the problem of extremely low solubility of the substrate and the product, the inventors have selected a cosolvent, a surfactant, an agent promoting formation of a membrane channel, etc. which may be added to the medium, including tween 20, tween 80, triton X-100, mannitol, sorbitol, betaine, PEG4000, nisin, sodium dodecyl sulfate, caCl 2, beta-cyclodextrin, hydroxypropyl-cyclodextrin, and sulfobutyl-cyclodextrin. The test result shows that the effects of the surfactants Tween 20, tween 80 and sorbitol are obvious, and the cosolvent beta-cyclodextrin is good. The result of the multi-element combination optimization experiment shows that the combination of 5mL/L Tween 20 and 5g/L beta-cyclodextrin is obviously superior to other combinations.
Thus, the present invention provides an optimized fermentation medium that is more conducive to fermentation and production of the desired product.

Example 2: optimization and improvement of fermentation culture medium
Based on the original fermentation culture medium of the autotrophic Pseudonocardia (preservation number CGMCC4.1211, name: pseudonocardia autotrophica), the optimization and improvement are carried out.
For optimization and improvement of the carbon source, glucose, fructose, mannitol, glycerol, maltose, dextrin, corn flour, corn steep liquor, soluble starch, galactose, lactose, sorbitol, xylose and sucrose were used as initial carbon sources, respectively, and the conversion of calcitol under each condition was evaluated. The result shows that the conversion rate can be better improved when the sucrose and the glycerol are used as single carbon sources, the price of the glycerol is about 2 times of that of the sucrose, the sucrose is used as the first quick-acting carbon source of the fermentation medium, and the corn steep liquor is determined as the second long-acting carbon source through multiple optimization; for seed engagement, it is advantageous to add 5g/L glucose; after a series of test comparisons, a combination of 10g/L sucrose, 5g/L glucose and 15.37g/L corn steep liquor was determined as the preferred combination.
After the composition of the carbon source was determined, 14 common nitrogen sources including peptone, tryptone, yeast powder, soybean peptone, malt extract, beef extract, enzymatic casein, corn steep liquor, corn flour, soybean meal, cotton seed meal, soluble fish meal, L-tyrosine and plant peptone (Phytone, BD company) were compared in order to optimize the nitrogen source. The comparison result shows that the tryptone, the yeast powder, the soybean peptone and the soybean cake powder can well improve the conversion rate; the multielement combination optimization shows that the combination of yeast powder and soybean peptone is obviously superior to other compound combinations in the aspects of potency, production cost and the like; after a series of test comparisons, a combination of 35g/L of soybean peptone and 31.5g/L of yeast powder was determined as a preferred combination.
In order to optimize inorganic salts in the culture medium, the inventor carries out comparative tests on the inclusion NaCl、KCl、MgSO4、FeSO4、CaCl2、MnCl2、(NH4)2SO4、K2HPO4、NaF, and the results show that the addition of MgSO 4 and FeSO 4 can significantly improve the conversion rate of the calcitol (this does not exclude that the enzymes involved in conversion need Mg 2+ and Fe 2+), phosphate can promote the growth of thalli, and NaCl plays an important role in the electron transfer of a respiratory chain; a certain amount of CaCO 3 can balance the pH value of the fermentation liquor and is beneficial to the growth of mycelium; finally, the preferred combination of inorganic salts is FeSO 4 0.1g/L、MgSO4 0.5g/L、CaCO32g/L、NaCl 5g/L、K2HPO4 0.1.1 g/L and NaF 0.1g/L.
Considering the extremely low solubility of the substrate and the product, the cosolvent, the surfactant and the reagent for promoting the formation of the membrane channel which may be added in the culture medium are screened, and the test comparison is carried out on tween 20, tween 80, triton X-100, mannitol, sorbitol, betaine, PEG4000, nisin, sodium dodecyl sulfate, caCl 2, beta-cyclodextrin, hydroxypropyl-cyclodextrin and sulfobutyl-cyclodextrin, and the test result shows that the effects of the surfactant tween 20, tween 80 and sorbitol are obvious, and the cosolvent beta-cyclodextrin is relatively good. The multi-element combination optimization experiment shows that the combination of 5ml/L Tween 20 and 5g/L beta-cyclodextrin is obviously superior to other combinations.
After multiple tests and combination test comparison, the most preferred fermentation medium, components or components used for preparation and the concentration thereof are finally determined according to the experimental result: 10g/L of sucrose, 5g/L of glucose, 15.37g/L of corn steep liquor, 35g/L of soybean peptone, 31.5g/L,FeSO4 0.1g/L,MgSO4 0.5g/L,CaCO3 2g/L,NaCl 5g/L,K2HPO4 0.1g/L,NaF 0.1g/L ml/L of yeast powder and 5ml/L of tween 20, wherein the pH value is 7.0, the beta-cyclodextrin is 0g/L or 5g/L, and the balance is water.
For example carbon nitrogen source optimization: a4-factor experiment (see tables 4 and 5, referred to in units of g/L) of carbon and nitrogen sources was designed using the Design expert 8.0.6 software optimization, and fermentation media were prepared according to the Design, 3 in parallel per group. 1 loop of spores are scraped from a Gao's No. 1 plate with mature spores of autotrophic Pseudonocardia (preservation number CGMCC4.1211, english name: pseudonocardia sp) to inoculate a seed culture medium, and the culture is carried out at 28 ℃ and 220rpm for 3d. The fermentation medium was inoculated at an inoculum size of 10%,28℃and 250rpm for 5 days. Weighing VD 31 g, and using absolute ethyl alcohol to fix the volume to 15mL; 5g of beta-cyclodextrin is weighed and dissolved by 40mL of water; 225 mu L of VD3 solution, 2mL of beta-cyclodextrin aqueous solution and 10mL of n-heptane are added into each 50mL of fermentation medium; culturing was continued at 28℃and 250rpm for 4d, after which the samples were collected.
Shaking the flask for 5min by 90% power ultrasonic treatment, adding 5mL of absolute ethyl alcohol into 5mL of fermentation liquid, uniformly mixing, and centrifuging for 2min at 12000rpm. The supernatant was filtered and analyzed by HPLC to calculate the average conversion for each group, which was filled into the experimental design of the software (see table 4), and the P value was calculated according to the software, with factors of P <0.05 being significant factors. Finally, the following steps are: a preferred combination of 10g/L sucrose, 15.37g/L corn steep liquor, 35g/L soybean peptone and 31.5g/L yeast powder (see Table 6, referred to in g/L).
