Bacillus circulans strain for producing high-activity beta-galactosidase and breeding method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of fermentation engineering and microorganism breeding, and particularly relates to a bacillus circulans strain for producing high-activity beta-galactosidase and a breeding method thereof.
Background
Galactooligosaccharides (GOS) are functional oligosaccharides with natural properties. Galactooligosaccharides are low-energy sugars that occur naturally in animal and human milk. The galactooligosaccharide is an excellent nutrient source and an effective proliferation factor of beneficial bacteria such as bifidobacterium, lactobacillus acidophilus and the like in human intestinal tracts, and can improve the digestion and absorption functions of the human intestinal tracts. In addition, the galacto-oligosaccharide can improve lipid metabolism, reduce serum cholesterol concentration, promote mineral element absorption, improve lactose intolerance, improve body immunity and the like.
The galacto-oligosaccharide is widely applied in the food industry, and is used as a prebiotic component in the fields of dairy products, baked foods, candy processing, functional foods and the like. With regulatory approval, β -galactosidase produced galactooligosaccharides are approved as a new food additive variety for infant formulas and infant cereal adjuncts, either alone or in combination. Along with the full play of the policy effect of the second child, the fertility level is moderately improved. The field of main research and application of infant milk powder, other dairy products and health care products as galactooligosaccharides is met with a new development peak.
In industrial production, galactooligosaccharides are produced by using lactose as a raw material and using microbial beta-galactosidase to catalyze galactosyl transfer reaction. The molecular structure of galactooligosaccharide is 1-7 galactosyl groups linked to galactose or glucose molecules through beta- (1 → 3) galactoside linkage, beta- (1 → 4) galactoside linkage or beta- (1 → 6) galactoside linkage.
Beta-galactosidase is widely present in animals, plants and microorganisms, has the main function of catalyzing lactose hydrolysis to generate glucose and galactose, and has the function of catalyzing galactosyl transfer activity to generate galacto-oligosaccharide.
In industrial production, beta-galactosidase is basically derived from microorganisms, and has the characteristics of easiness in mass preparation, good stability and the like. However, the strains isolated directly from nature generally have relatively low enzyme fermentation activity and cannot meet the requirements of industrial production, so the strains are improved according to the morphological and physiological characteristics of the strains. The mutation of the microorganism can be spontaneously carried out under natural conditions, but the mutation rate of the spontaneous mutation is very low, the probability of obtaining a mutant strain meeting the requirement is lower, and the probability is only 10-6~10-10. In order to make the enzyme more suitable for practical application, the mutation rate of the strain is improved by means of physicochemical factors and the like, so that the possibility of screening mutant strains with favorable properties is greatly increased. Chemical mutagens are mutated by altering their genetic material, primarily by interacting with nucleic acid bases, acting as base analogs or frame-shift mutagens to interfere with DNA replication. The mutagen 1-methyl-3-nitro-1-nitrosoguanidine is a double capable of acting with nucleic acid base The functional alkylating agent can act with several parts of DNA molecule to replace active hydrogen atom in DNA molecule and to alkylate the base and accounting part of DNA molecule and result in base pairing error to cause mutation during DNA replication.
Related research reports at present prove that the bacillus circulans is an important source of beta-galactosidase, and the produced beta-galactosidase has ideal transformation effect on lactose. The beta-galactosidase produced by the bacillus circulans has obvious application value.
Therefore, there is a need to develop a bacillus circulans strain capable of producing beta-galactosidase with high activity and a breeding method thereof.
