Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biological identification, relates to a method for identifying fungi, and particularly relates to an ITS specific molecular marker for identifying penicillium, and a special primer, a probe and a gene chip for the identification method.
Background
The strain of Penicillium,Penicillium(P.species) is a generic name for fungi of the genus Penicillium of the family Ascomycotina, Ascomycetales, Ascomycotina. The penicillium mycelium consists of a plurality of hyphae with transverse septa, and usually grows by producing conidia, and after the conidia fall off, the hyphae germinate in a proper environment. Penicillium species are many, and usually live on citrus fruits, vegetables, grains, and meatsAnd often on leather and food.
The penicillium is also a kind of mixed fungus which can cause pollution in the processes of edible fungus separation, strain production and cultivation, and can infect and harm in the processes of producing and cultivating edible fungi such as mushroom, oyster mushroom, shiitake mushroom, phoenix tail mushroom, straw mushroom, needle mushroom and the like, and is a common germ which influences the yield and quality of the edible fungi. Penicillium exists in various organic matters and is mainly saprophytic or weakly parasitic. Wheat bran, rice bran and other auxiliary materials in the culture material are breeding conditions of penicillium, and new conidia generated after diseases can be infected again through media such as artificial water spraying, air flow, insects and the like. After the penicillium invades the mushroom bed and pollutes the culture material, the growth of edible fungi hypha can be inhibited, so that the edible fungi hypha can not form fruit bodies, and even the fruit bodies are formed, the edible fungi can be browned and rotten. Therefore, the method has practical significance for rapidly detecting the penicillium in the edible fungi and the cultivation environment thereof.
For pathogenic bacteria which cannot be observed by naked eyes, if a conventional culture method is adopted, a detection period of at least 4-5 days is required, and the colony morphology of the pathogenic bacteria is not easy to clearly identify.
With the rapid development of molecular biology technology, especially the establishment and maturation of the technology divided into markers and gene markers, an effective means is provided for the development of simple, rapid and accurate fungal identification technology. The gene chip is a novel DNA recognition technology, and fungi can be effectively identified on the chip by utilizing the advantages of high flux and specificity of the chip so as to improve the detection accuracy. Meanwhile, the main operation steps of the gene chip detection are completed by instrument equipment, the detection period only needs 6-8 hours, the subjective experience of people in the traditional detection is not relied on, and the accurate detection and identification result can be obtained in a short time.

It is another object of the present invention to provide primers and nucleic acid probes for use in the method for identifying penicillium.
The invention adopts gene cloning technology and combines gene chip technology, firstly a section of highly conserved and highly specific nucleic acid sequence in the ITS DNA fragment of the penicillium is obtained to be used as a molecular marker for identifying the penicillium specifically; and then a group of specific primers and nucleic acid probes are designed and synthesized according to the molecular marker, a method for specifically identifying penicillium is established, and effectiveness evaluation tests are carried out on the established method.
In order to realize the aim, the nucleotide sequence of the penicillium ITS specific molecular marker is shown in SEQ ID NO. 1. The ITS specific molecular marker is a characteristic sequence which can be used as a gene chip detection target sequence and is determined by performing PCR amplification on total DNA extracted from penicillium by using a universal primer ITS1/ITS4, performing capillary sequencing on a PCR product, and performing full nucleic acid database comparison analysis on a sequencing result in NCBI.

More specifically, the present invention is to label a fluorescent reporter group Hex at the 5 'end of a primer 1 and subject the nucleic acid probe to an amination treatment, i.e., to link an amino group to the 5' end of the nucleic acid probe, and finally artificially synthesize a primer and a nucleic acid probe having the following nucleotide sequences.
Primer 1: 5 'Hex-GATCTTTCCTGAGTGAGGGCC-3'.
Primer 2: 5'-CTACAGAGCGGGTGACAAAGC-3' are provided.

b) carrying out PCR amplification on the extracted total DNA by using the primers to obtain a PCR amplification product;
c) and carrying out in-situ hybridization on the PCR amplification product and the nucleic acid probe so as to specifically identify whether the sample to be detected contains penicillium.
After the PCR amplification product is hybridized with the nucleic acid probe in situ, the unhybridized PCR amplification product is washed away, and the hybridization result is detected. If the hybridization result is positive, the sample to be detected contains penicillium; and if the hybridization result is negative, the sample to be detected does not contain penicillium.
The invention preferably adopts a laser confocal scanner to carry out fluorescence scanning detection on the hybridization result.
In the above method of the present invention, the methods of extracting total genomic DNA, PCR amplification and in situ hybridization are also conventional.

Meanwhile, different nucleic acid probes are adopted to hybridize with the PCR amplification product of the penicillium, only the nucleic acid probe of the invention has positive response, and other nucleic acid probes have no response, which shows that the specificity of the penicillium nucleic acid probe of the invention is better. The results prove that the detection method provided by the invention has good specificity and accuracy.
