Description

Microorganism in-situ culture chip suitable for different temperatures and method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of microorganism in-situ culture, and particularly relates to a microorganism in-situ culture chip and a method thereof, which are applicable to different temperatures.
Background
Most microorganisms cannot grow on a standard agar medium, so that only about 1% of microorganisms in the natural environment can be cultured by the existing culture methods. There are generally three explanations for 1% of the culturable microorganisms: the first explanation refers to that only 1% of the cells in a population can be cultured; the second explanation refers to that only 1% of the clusters in a community can be cultivated; the third explanation refers to 1% cell growth in a colony on standard agar medium. The different theoretical explanations all indicate that only a small number of microorganisms can be cultivated, which is limited by the conventional cultivation methods. Therefore, optimization of the culture method is required to reduce the limitation of the conventional methods such as plate streaking and gradient dilution method on the culture of microorganisms.
In 2002 Kaeberlein et al, the recovery rate of inoculated strains is over 40% by developing a microorganism diffusion chamber, but the strain still needs further culture after the diffusion chamber is cultured, so that the strain cannot be popularized on a large scale; the concept of in-situ culture chips is first proposed by Nichols in 2010, so that the quick enrichment and culture of marine microorganisms are realized, and the culture chips are initially perfected by Brittany in 2017, but the in-situ culture of microorganisms still cannot be realized at high temperature by the existing in-situ culture chips. The softened or liquefied agar medium increases the gap between the medium and the semipermeable membrane, resulting in the entry/exit of external/internal microorganisms into/from the culture chip, rendering the in situ culture chip ineffective. The high temperature environment is an important stage of typical waste biological treatment processes such as aerobic composting, anaerobic fermentation and the like, and the highest temperature in the composting and digestion processes can be over 60 ℃ and even 70-80 ℃, so that the defect limits the exploration of functional microorganisms and the utilization of functional strains in high temperature environment media. Therefore, the design of an in-situ culture chip applicable to different temperatures plays an important role in further exploring the high Wen Shengjing microorganism group and exploring the germplasm resources of various habitats.

Detailed Description
The invention is further illustrated and described below with reference to the drawings and detailed description. The technical features of the embodiments of the invention can be combined correspondingly on the premise of no mutual conflict.
The existing in-situ culture method is to place the agar culture medium as a base in an in-situ habitat to realize the culture of microorganisms, but the characteristics of softening and liquefying the agar culture medium at high temperature limit the in-situ culture of microorganisms at high temperature. The softened or liquefied agar medium increases the gap between the medium and the semipermeable membrane, causing external or internal microorganisms to enter or leave the culture chip, rendering the in situ culture chip ineffective. The high temperature is an important process of waste treatment such as aerobic composting and anaerobic digestion, and the highest temperature can be over 60 ℃ and even can reach 70-80 ℃ in the composting and digestion treatment process, so that the limitation of the high temperature is one of important bottlenecks of in-situ cultivation of functional microorganisms in the waste treatment.
The invention provides a microorganism in-situ culture chip suitable for different temperatures, which comprises four components which are flat plates, namely a first fixing plate 1, a culture plate 2, a contact plate 3 and a second fixing plate 4, wherein the specific structures of the four components are as follows:
as shown in fig. 1, the first fixing plate 1 is provided with a plurality of first through holes 61 penetrating through the thickness direction of the plate body, and in practical application, the number of the arrays of the first through holes 61 can be set according to the requirements of different culturing and identifying devices, and the number of the first through holes 61 in each array can be switched according to different requirements.
As shown in fig. 2, the culture plate 2 has the same structure as the first fixing plate 1, and a plurality of second through holes 62 penetrating the plate body in the thickness direction are formed in the culture plate 2. In practical application, the number of the arrays of the second through holes 62 can be set according to the requirements of different culturing and identifying devices, and the number of the second through holes 62 in each array can be switched according to different requirements. However, it is necessary to ensure that the second through holes 62 and the first through holes 61 are the same in size, and that the positions of all the second through holes 62 and the first through holes 61 can be communicated in one-to-one correspondence, respectively.
As shown in fig. 3, the contact plate 3 is provided with a contact chamber 7 penetrating the plate body in the thickness direction. The contact chamber 7 includes a first chamber and a second chamber which are communicated with each other in the thickness direction of the contact plate 3, and the perpendicular projection of the first chamber in the plate direction of the contact plate 3 completely covers the perpendicular projection of the second chamber in the plate direction of the contact plate 3. The second chamber is an orifice plate provided with a plurality of third through holes 63 penetrating through the thickness direction of the plate body, and the thickness of the second chamber should be set thinner, generally not exceeding the thickness of the first fixing plate 1.
As shown in fig. 4, the upper plate surface of the second fixing plate 4 is fixed with a plurality of hollow cylindrical culture chambers 8 for holding solid culture medium or liquid culture medium, and the connection of the culture chambers 8 and the second fixing plate 4 is closed to prevent leakage of the culture medium held therein. The height of the culture chamber 8 is the same as the thickness of the contact plate 3, and the height of the culture chamber 8 may be made to protrude into the second through-hole 62 of the culture plate 2 slightly beyond the thickness of the contact plate 3, but is not preferably too high beyond the tip of the second through-hole 62.
In practical application, the materials adopted by the first fixing plate 1, the culture plate 2, the contact plate 3 and the second fixing plate 4 are diversified, and can be processed and manufactured by stainless steel metal materials, and also can be manufactured by adopting materials such as polypropylene resin and the like through 3D printing technology. The first permeable membrane 12 and the second permeable membrane 13 may each employ a semi-permeable membrane having a pore size of 0.03 μm or less, because the pore size of 0.03 μm or less allows diffusion of growth factors and nutrients while being small enough to prevent microorganisms from entering or/and leaving the culture chip, thereby forming an isolated growth environment and forming colonies.
The number of the contact chambers 7 may be plural as required.
The four components can be in different assembly forms so as to be suitable for different temperature environments, the temperature limitation of the traditional in-situ culture chip is broken through, and a foundation is provided for in-situ culture of functional microorganisms under high-temperature media such as aerobic composting and anaerobic fermentation. The following is a specific description by way of examples.
Example 1
As shown in fig. 5, the first fixing plate 1, the culture plate 2 and the contact plate 3 are sequentially stacked in a detachable manner from top to bottom in an environment lower than a target temperature (i.e., normal temperature or low temperature, which may be set according to actual conditions). In this embodiment, the first fixing plate 1, the culture plate 2 and the contact plate 3 may be in a detachable manner in the process of assembling, that is, the first fixing plate 1, the culture plate 2 and the contact plate 3 are provided with fixing holes 5 which are through and correspond to each other one by one along the thickness direction of the plate body, and the fixing screws 11 penetrate through the fixing holes 5 and fix the plate bodies through the fixing nuts 10.
A first permeable membrane 12 is sandwiched between the first fixing plate 1 and the culture plate 2, and the first permeable membrane 12 can completely cover the plate surfaces of the first fixing plate 1 and the culture plate 2 which are in contact with the first permeable membrane.
A second permeable membrane 13 is clamped between the culture plate 2 and the plate surface of the second chamber of the contact plate 3, and the second permeable membrane 13 can completely cover the culture plate 2 contacted with the second permeable membrane and the plate surface of the contact plate 3. This is because the larger first chamber is facing the ambient medium, the contact area of the second permeable membrane 13 with the ambient medium can be increased, thereby enhancing the exchange of microorganisms with nutrients and growth factors in the environment.
The first through holes 61, the second through holes 62 and the third through holes 63 have the same size, and a plurality of straight channels are formed in one-to-one correspondence. The second through-hole 62 in each straight passage is for receiving the solid medium, and both ends of the second through-hole 62 are sealed by the first permeable membrane 12 and the second permeable membrane 13, respectively. The first permeable membrane 12 and the second permeable membrane 13 are each a membrane body that allows nutrients and growth factors to pass therethrough but does not allow microorganisms to pass therethrough.
The method for enrichment culture of the microorganisms in the environment below the target temperature by utilizing the microorganism in-situ culture chip comprises the following steps:
before preparing the culture chip, the sample of the target habitat needs to be pretreated. Among other things, aquatic sediment or soil can be treated by ultrasound to remove microbial cells from the particles, and mud, powdered crushed stone and water samples can be used directly as cell sources.
The concentration of microorganisms in the sample solution is then brought to a target dilution by a gradient dilution method, and in particular the cells can be counted to determine the target dilution in the agar medium, so as to equally divide the dilution into culture chips, ensuring that each through-hole contains a small number of cells. The target dilution may be selected according to the actual situation. And then dripping the diluted sample solution into the agar solid culture medium to obtain a culture medium sample.
The sample of the non-solidified medium after the gradient dilution is added by a pipette and fills the inner cavity of the second through hole 62 of the culture plate 2. A first permeable membrane 12 and a first fixing plate 1 are sequentially fixed above the culture plate 2, a second permeable membrane 13 and a contact plate 3 are sequentially fixed below the culture plate 2, and the microorganism in-situ culture chip is obtained through assembly.
The in-situ microorganism culture chip is placed in a target habitat, and an environmental medium in the target habitat enters the first through hole 61 of the in-situ microorganism culture chip and the inside of the contact chamber 7, so that a culture medium sample exchanges with nutrient substances and growth factors of the medium in the environment through the first permeable membrane 12 and the second permeable membrane 13, a growth environment of the target habitat is provided for enrichment culture of microorganisms in the culture medium sample, and meanwhile, the exchange of the culture medium sample and the microorganisms in the environmental medium is avoided.
Example 2
As shown in fig. 6, the first fixing plate 1, the culture plate 2, the contact plate 3 and the second fixing plate 4 are sequentially stacked in a detachable manner from top to bottom in an environment equal to or higher than a target temperature (i.e., a high temperature, which may be set according to actual conditions). In this embodiment, the first fixing plate 1, the culture plate 2, the contact plate 3 and the second fixing plate 4 may be in a detachable manner in the assembly process, that is, fixing holes 5 which are through and in one-to-one correspondence with each other are formed on the first fixing plate 1, the culture plate 2, the contact plate 3 and the second fixing plate 4 along the thickness direction of the plate body, and fixing screws 11 penetrate through the fixing holes 5 and fix the plate bodies through fixing nuts 10.
A first permeable membrane 12 is sandwiched between the first fixing plate 1 and the culture plate 2, and the first permeable membrane 12 can completely cover the plate surfaces of the first fixing plate 1 and the culture plate 2 which are in contact with the first permeable membrane.
The culture plate 2 is connected with the plate surface of the first chamber of the contact plate 3, the culture chamber 8 passes through the third through hole 63 corresponding to the culture chamber 8 on the contact plate 3, and the top of the culture chamber 8 is level with the top of the contact plate 3. By adopting the connection mode, the contact plate 3 plays a role in supporting and fixing the culture chamber 8, so that the assembled microorganism in-situ culture chip has stronger stability. The top of cultivate room 8 is equipped with hollow tubular leak protection rubber 9, and the junction of cultivate board 2 and cultivate room 8 keeps sealedly through leak protection rubber 9 to phenomenon such as the softening that solid medium took place under the high temperature environment, liquefaction, make the culture medium reveal the problem such as culture chip inefficacy that leads to from the junction of cultivate board 2 and cultivate room 8.
The first through hole 61, the second through hole 62, the third through hole 63 and the culture chamber 8 have the same cross-sectional dimensions and form a plurality of straight passages in one-to-one correspondence. The first through hole 61 and the second through hole 62 in each straight passage are sealed by the first permeable membrane 12, and the first permeable membrane 12 is a membrane body that allows nutrients and growth factors to pass therethrough but does not allow microorganisms to pass therethrough.
The method for enriching and culturing the microorganisms in the environment with the temperature being more than or equal to the target temperature by utilizing the microorganism in-situ culture chip comprises the following steps:
before preparing the culture chip, the sample of the target habitat is pretreated firstly, then the microorganism concentration in the sample solution reaches the target dilution by a gradient dilution method, and the diluted sample solution is dripped into an agar solid culture medium or a liquid culture medium to obtain a culture medium sample.
The culture medium sample is added by a pipette and filled in the inner cavity of the culture chamber 8, or the liquid level of the culture medium sample is made to be level with the culture plate, and the second fixing plate 4 and the contact plate 3 are connected by passing each culture chamber 8 through the corresponding third through hole 63. The culture plate 2, the first permeable membrane 12 and the first fixed plate 1 are sequentially attached and fixed above the contact plate 3, meanwhile, the leakproof rubber 9 is distributed at the top of the culture chamber 8 so that the joint of the culture plate 2 and the culture chamber 8 is closed, and the microorganism in-situ culture chip is obtained through assembly.
