A preservation effect of the present invention is excellent.
Description
Technical Field The present invention relates to the technical field of capsule preservation, and particularly relates to a method for preserving freeze-dried powder capsules of phages. Background Phages are viruses invading bacteria, and are also genetic materials endowing host bacteria with biological characters. The phages must be parasitic in viable bacteria, have strict host specificity, and depend on molecular structures and complementarity on phage adsorption organs and recipient bacterium surface receptors. The phages are populations that are the most common and most widespread in the viruses. A traditional preservation method is as follows: the phages are prepared into freeze-dried powder, and the freeze-dried powder is preserved in a freezing chamber at 4°C or preserved in liquid nitrogen. However, a preservation effect of such a method is poor. For example, a reference document with an application publication number of CN201610415919.6 discloses a method for preserving freeze-dried powder capsules of phages as follows: a protectant and phage fluid are mixed together and preserved at a temperature of 4°C. The preservation measure is still not perfect enough, and the preservation effect is poor.
Summary A technical problem to be solved in the present invention is to provide a method for preserving freeze-dried powder capsules of phages with an excellent preservation effect.
Description
To solve the above technical problem, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: the method for preserving freeze-dried powder capsules of phages includes the following steps: S1, performing primary treatment on phages, selecting host bacteria with phages, inoculating the phages into a fluid medium, performing shake culture for about 10 hours, and collecting a phage-containing supernatant; S2, preparing a phage protectant, selecting 15-20 parts of skim milk powder, 1-2 parts of glycerin, 1-5 parts of glucose, 0.6-1.2 parts of calcium chloride, 0.3-0.8 part of sodium sulfate, 0.5-1.2 parts of mannitol, 0.03-0.2 part of dipotassium phosphate, 0.05-0.3 part of sodium dihydrogen phosphate and 0.03-0.18 part of aluminum hydroxide glue, mixing the phages and the above mixed solution together, and enabling the phages and the solution to be fully mixed together with stirring of a stirring rod; S3, preparing freeze-dried powder, placing a mixed solution prepared in the S2 in a freezing chamber for freezing, performing primary drying under a vacuum condition, then adding 10-20 parts of glycerin into phage fluid subjected to primary drying, heating, and performing secondary drying so as to obtain phage freeze-dried powder; and S4, preparing capsules, filling the freeze-dried powder in the capsules in a sterile environment by using an encapsulating machine, sealing the capsules, and preserving the sealed capsules in the shade. Preferably, in the S2, the following components are selected: 15 parts of skim milk powder, 1.3 parts of glycerin, 4 parts of glucose, 0.6 part of calcium chloride, 0.36 part of sodium sulfate, 1 part of mannitol, 0.1 part of dipotassium phosphate, 0.18 part of sodium dihydrogen phosphate and 0.18 part of aluminum hydroxide glue. A ratio of the components of the protectant is changed, and a protection effect of the protectant is improved. Preferably, in the S2, the following components are selected: 17 parts of skim milk powder, 1.6 parts of glycerin, 4 parts of glucose, 1 part of calcium chloride,
Description
0.5 part of sodium sulfate, 1 part of mannitol, 0.03 part of dipotassium phosphate, 0.25 part of sodium dihydrogen phosphate and 0.06 part of aluminum hydroxide glue. Preferably, in the S2, the mixed solution is placed at a room temperature of °C and stirred at a rate of 2r/second by a stirrer, and stirring lasts for 15 minutes. Mixing uniformity is improved, and preservation life is prolonged. Preferably, in the S3, 10 parts of glycerin are added. Preferably, in the S3, 20 parts of glycerin are added. In the S3, when the 20 parts of glycerin are added, preservation life is obviously prolonged compared with preservation life when 10 parts of glycerin are added. Preferably, in the S3, 18 parts of glycerin are added. In the S3, when the 18 parts of glycerin are added, preservation life is slightly prolonged compared with preservation life when 10 parts of glycerin are added, but is shorter than preservation life when 20 parts of glycerin are added. Preferably, in the S3, a preliminary freezing temperature is maintained at 4°C; within 20-30 minutes after preservation, the temperature is continuously decreased and decreased to minus 30°C, and temperature drop lasts for 40 minutes. The temperature is prevented from directly decreasing from the room temperature to minus 30°C so as not to destruct host bacteria. Preferably, in the S3, the primary drying is performed in a vacuum environment at minus 30°C and under a pressure of 10-15 Pa. A drying effect is improved. Preferably, in the S4, before the capsules are filled, a 300-mesh screen is used for screening the freeze-dried powder, thereby ensuring fineness of the freeze-dried powder. Preferably, in the S4, the sealed capsules are preserved in an environment of 4°C. When the capsules are preserved at a low temperature, preservation life of the phage freeze-dried powder is prolonged.
Description
Compared with the prior art, the present invention has beneficial effects as follows: After the primary drying, lots of glycerin is added into the mixed solution, and the prepared capsules are placed in the environment of 4°C, so that the preservation life of the phage freeze-dried powder is prolonged, and the preservation effect is excellent.
