Abstract
A novel natto bacillus subtilis BSNK-T160 is obtained through irradiation mutagenesis. Compared with the wild fungus BSNK-5, the casein hydrolytic activity of the BSNK-T160 is improved by 46.9% and the thermal stability at a temperature of 65 DEG C is improved by eight times; the fibrin activity is improved by 29.62% and the thermal stability is improved by 82.31% compared with a urokinase. The strain BSNK-T160 can be used for producing the nattokinase with the high activity and thermal stability. The nattoes with superior quality can be produced through fermentation of soybeans for 24h by using the stain.
Description
Technical field:
The invention belongs to microorganism field, particularly relate to a kind of new height work, thermostability Nattokinase production bacterial strain and the application aspect fermentative production natto and Nattokinase thereof, the invention still further relates to the fermented product that this bacterial strain produces.
Background technology:
Nattokinase (nattokinase, NK) is the high-efficiency fiber protein resolvase by Bacillus subtilis natto (Bacillus natto) secreting, expressing, finds from traditional Japanese soybean leavened prod natto the earliest.Compare with the thrombolytic drug of clinical application, have the cellulolytic activity height, safe and reliable, have no side effect, long half time, in gi tract good stability, the advantages such as low production cost.
Although Chinese scholars Isolation and screening from different fermented soybean products has gone out some high-yield nattokinase bacterial strains, and carried out the researchs such as vigor that optimization of fermentation conditions improves Nattokinase with the output that improves Nattokinase, purity that heterogenous expression improves Nattokinase, by strain improvement, but the research that improves the thermally-stabilised aspect of Nattokinase rarely had report.
Really can be used for the bacterial strain of industrialization production Nattokinase in the practice seldom.Particularly, because Nattokinase to thermally labile, is to limit the bottleneck that this enzyme is used at protective foods, field of medicaments always.
Therefore, it is very urgent to obtain the Nattokinase bacterial strain demand of high reactivity and thermostability.
Summary of the invention:
The purpose of this invention is to provide new height work, thermostability Nattokinase and produce bacterium; Direct purpose of the present invention is to filter out a kind of new Bacillus subtilis natto, makes it can be used for relatively large production natto and high alive, thermostability Nattokinase.
The inventor passes through 800Gy
60Co-gamma-ray irradiation mutagenesis Bacillus subtilis natto BSNK-5, adopt the casein plate method through repeatedly putting the plate repeated screening of going down to posterity, obtained high work, thermostability mutant strain in conjunction with 65 ℃ of processing---Bacillus subtilis natto (Bacillus natto) BSNK-T160, this new bacterial strain is preserved in China Committee for Culture Collection of Microorganisms common micro-organisms center on October 29th, 2012, and deposit number is CGMCC No.6714.
Bacillus subtilis natto BSNK-T160 of the present invention is characterized as:
Morphological specificity:

Cultural characteristic:
The used substratum of BSNK-T160 growth is the LB substratum, and the used screening culture medium of irradiation mutagenesis is the casein substratum, and culture temperature is 30-37 ℃.
The prescription of described casein substratum is: casein 1%, yeast extract 0.5%, NaCl 0.9%, agar 2%, pH7.2-7.4,121 ℃ of sterilization 20min, matching while using.
The used substratum of solid fermentation of the present invention is soybean, and leavening temperature is 38-40 ℃.
The fermented product that is produced by Bacillus subtilis natto BSNK-T160 fermentation also belong to this patent protection domain.Described fermented product can be leavened prod itself, the leavened prod through diluting or purified leavened prod; Described fermented product can adopt the fluid profiles such as the solid profiles such as particle, powder, tablet or liquid, pasty state, glue.
The invention effect:
Screen through the casein plate method, the fibrin plate method detects fibrinolytic activity and the thermostability of bacterium, the experiment confirms such as fermentation capacity of solid fermentation checking thalline: compare with wild type strain BSNK-5, mutant strain BSNK-T160 has following beneficial effect:
1, Caseinolytic activity and thermostability have been improved
Improved 46.9%, 65 ℃ of thermostability at 37 ℃ Caseinolytic activities and improved about 8 times (Fig. 3)
2, improved fibrinolytic activity, particularly the activity under 65 ℃ of high temperature
The fibrin plate detected result show BSNK-T160 at 37 ℃ dissolving circle area change 20.93%, improved 29.62% with respect to the activity of urokinase; After 65 ℃ of thermal treatments dissolving circle area change 32.13%, improved 82.31%(Fig. 4 with respect to the activity of urokinase).
3, the fermented product quality that is produced by Bacillus subtilis natto BSNK-T160 fermentation is good
The solid state fermentation experiment further confirms just to form one deck tunica albuginea on the soybean surface behind the inoculation BSNK-T160 bacterial strain 24h, is viscosity, and wire drawing is longer, and the jaundice of gained natto color has metalluster, has sauce fragrance (Fig. 5).
The advantage of BSNK-T160 of the present invention is as follows:
1, higher fibrinolytic activity;
2, thermostability preferably;
3, fermenting speed is fast, but 24 hours just fermented soybean produce natto, produce the minimum 48h that needs of natto greater than the market fermenting bacillus natto.
4, fermentation gained natto quality better does not have the ammonia stink, has sauce fragrance.
Therefore, the BSNK-T160 bacterial strain is desirable research, the material bacterial strain that sets out of application.In the production field of Nattokinase and natto, have the very big possibility that realizes its industrialization, and have wide medicine, food applications and market outlook.
