Description

Method for improving proportion of bacteria entering living non-culturable state
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of food biology. In particular, the invention relates to a method of increasing the proportion of bacteria that enter a viable, non-culturable state.
Background
It is found that the vital signs of the bacteria are changed under the stimulation of the external environment, and the bacteria enter a special self-protection survival State, namely a living non-culturable State (VBNC). Under the state, the volume of the bacteria is continuously reduced, the ratio of the surface area to the volume is enlarged, the affinity to nutrient substances is improved, the starved nutrient environment can be endured, and the protective capability to other environmental stress factors such as preservatives, temperature shock, oxidation environment, osmotic pressure change and the like is enhanced. The bacteria in the VBNC state are characterized in that the growth and reproduction capacity on the plate is lost, the vital signs are alive, and the virulence and pathogenicity of the original bacteria are retained. Therefore, bacteria in the VBNC state can recover growth and reproduction under the suitable growth condition, and quickly reach the pathogenic dose, thereby becoming a 'recessive infectious source' for escaping detection and constituting a potential threat to safety. The development of studies on the characteristics and formation mechanism of live bacteria in a non-culturable state is important for effectively killing inactivated bacteria in a non-culturable state. However, the studies for obtaining viable non-culturable bacteria have been limited due to the low content and purity of the non-culturable bacteria obtained.
Therefore, at present, methods for increasing the ratio of bacteria into viable non-culturable state to obtain a large amount of viable non-culturable state bacteria have yet to be studied.
Disclosure of Invention
The present invention aims to solve at least to some extent at least one of the technical problems of the prior art. Therefore, the invention provides a method capable of improving the proportion of bacteria entering the living non-culturable state, and by utilizing the method, a large number of bacteria in the living non-culturable state can be quickly obtained, so that the study on the bacteria in the living non-culturable state is facilitated, and the application prospect is good.
The present invention provides a method for increasing the proportion of bacteria that enter a viable, non-culturable state. According to an embodiment of the invention, the method comprises: pretreating the target bacteria to obtain pretreated target bacteria; subjecting the pretreated target bacteria to high-pressure carbon dioxide treatment so as to bring the pretreated target bacteria into a viable non-culturable state; wherein the pretreatment comprises an acid treatment and/or a heat treatment.
Earlier studies found that bacteria can be induced to enter a viable but non-culturable state by high pressure carbon dioxide treatment, but the proportion of bacteria in the viable but non-culturable state obtained is low and does not meet the purity requirements for viable but non-culturable bacteria well. Furthermore, the inventor finds that the bacteria are subjected to acid treatment and/or heat treatment in advance before the high-pressure carbon dioxide treatment, so that the bacteria can be effectively induced to enter a living non-culturable state, the ratio of the number of the living non-culturable state bacteria in the total bacteria obtained after the final treatment to the number of the total bacteria is increased, the yield of the living non-culturable bacteria is increased, the study on the living non-culturable state bacteria is facilitated, and the application prospect is good.
According to an embodiment of the invention, the method for increasing the proportion of bacteria that enter a viable, non-culturable state may also have the following additional technical features:
according to the embodiment of the invention, the acid treatment is carried out for 2-6 hours under the condition that the pH value is 3.5-5.5. The inventors have conducted a large number of experiments to obtain the above-mentioned preferable treatment conditions, whereby it is possible to efficiently induce bacteria to enter a viable but non-culturable state, and also to prevent bacteria from dying due to excessively low activity during the acid treatment process or from failing to return to a viable but non-culturable state. Specifically, the acid treatment is carried out at normal temperature and pressure.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the acid treatment is performed by placing the target bacteria in an acid solution, wherein the pH value of the physiological saline solution is adjusted to 3.5-5.5 by hydrochloric acid. The acid liquor can provide acidic conditions and prevent bacteria from dying due to too low activity in the acid treatment process.
According to the embodiment of the invention, the heat treatment is carried out at 42-60 ℃ for 2-6 hours. The inventors have conducted a large number of experiments to obtain the above-mentioned preferable treatment conditions, whereby it is possible to efficiently induce bacteria to enter a viable but non-culturable state, and also to prevent the bacteria from dying due to excessively low activity during the heat treatment or from failing to return to a viable but non-culturable state after entering the viable but non-culturable state.
According to the embodiment of the invention, the high-pressure carbon dioxide treatment is carried out at the temperature of 25-37 ℃ and under the pressure of 5-7 MPa for 5-60 min. The inventor obtains the better treatment conditions through a large number of experiments, so that the bacteria can be efficiently induced to enter a living non-culturable state, and the death of the bacteria caused by too low activity in the high-pressure carbon dioxide treatment process can be avoided.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the pretreated target bacteria are washed or suspended to obtain a cell suspension before the high pressure carbon dioxide treatment. Thereby facilitating removal of the culture/treatment solution of bacteria, especially the acid solution used for the acid treatment.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the washing and the suspending are performed using physiological saline. Thereby, the subsequent high pressure carbon dioxide treatment is not disturbed.
According to an embodiment of the invention, the bacteria of interest are in log phase. Thus, the bacteria can be better induced to enter a viable but non-culturable state, and can also be prevented from dying due to low activity during the treatment process.
According to an embodiment of the invention, the bacterium of interest is Escherichia coli. The treatment conditions can better induce the escherichia coli to enter a living non-culturable state, and can also avoid the escherichia coli from dying due to low activity in the treatment process or being incapable of recovering to a culturable state after entering the living non-culturable state.
According to an embodiment of the invention, the bacteria of interest areEscherichia coliO157: H7. better induction can be achieved by adopting the treatment conditionsEscherichia coliO157: h7 can be in a living non-culturable state, so that it can be prevented from dying due to low activity in the treatment process or being incapable of being restored to a culturable state after being in the living non-culturable state.

respectively counting the bacterial liquid obtained by the high-pressure carbon dioxide treatment by using a flow cytometer and a plate, and calculating the VBNC ratio A of the non-culturable bacteria according to the following formula:
A=（C-B）/C×100%，
wherein B is the number of bacteria counted by the plate and C is the number of bacteria counted by the flow cytometer.
As shown in FIG. 1, the VBNC ratio after pretreatment for Escherichia coli for 4 hours and room temperature pretreatment as no pretreatment was changed significantly compared with the control group, and the VBNC ratios after cold pretreatment (comparative example 2), oxidative stress (comparative example 3) and high-osmotic pretreatment (comparative example 4) were all changed significantly as compared with the control group, indicating that the VBNC ratios could not be increased significantly by the three treatment methods. The ratio of VBNC after acid pretreatment (example 1) was 79% and the ratio of VBNC after heat pretreatment (example 2) was 77%, and these two treatment methods were able to significantly increase the ratio of viable non-culturable bacteria of escherichia coli compared to the control group.
Compared with a control group, cold pretreatment, oxidation stress, high-permeability pretreatment, acid pretreatment and heat pretreatment have no significant change after the staphylococcus aureus is treated for 4 hours. Thus, it was shown that neither staphylococcus aureus could significantly increase the proportion of viable non-culturable bacteria after the above pretreatment.
As shown in fig. 2, after pretreatment for 24 hours, no significant change was observed in cold pretreatment, oxidative stress, high-osmotic pretreatment, acid pretreatment, and heat pretreatment, as compared with the control group. Thus, it was shown that the pretreatment time was too long and the proportion of viable non-culturable bacteria could not be increased.
