Description

一种微生物细胞形态的检测系统和方法  Detection system and method for microbial cell morphology
技术领域 Technical field
本发明涉及微生物检测技术, 尤其涉及一种微生物细胞形态的检测系统 和方法。  The present invention relates to microbial detection technology, and more particularly to a detection system and method for microbial cell morphology.
背景技术 Background technique
在微生物的培养或发酵等过程中,单细胞微生物通常会经历几个阶段的 变化, 如图 1所示, 图 1示出了微生物各个阶段的变化的示意图。 微生物首 先经历适应阶段, 该阶段中, 微生物要适应新的环境, 因此生长较慢, 此时 细胞的数量增长緩慢, 甚至数量保持不变, 而体积在增大。 接着是指数增长 阶段, 该阶段中, 微生物生长迅速, 并由一个细胞分裂为两个小细胞, 之后 每个小细胞长成大细胞后再次分裂为两个新的小细胞, 该过程依次重复, 细 胞数量持续增长。 一定时间后微生物进入稳定阶段, 该阶段中, 细胞停止分 裂, 并且细胞数量不再增长, 但细胞仍可能继续新陈代谢。 最后, 微生物进 入死亡阶段, 该阶段中, 水分会透过细胞膜流失, 并引起细胞萎缩, 并最终 死亡失去^ ^内物。  In the process of cultivation or fermentation of microorganisms, single-cell microorganisms usually undergo several stages of changes. As shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of changes in various stages of microorganisms. Microorganisms first undergo an adaptation phase in which microorganisms adapt to the new environment and therefore grow slowly, at which point the number of cells grows slowly, even as the number remains constant, and the volume increases. This is followed by an exponential growth phase in which the microbe grows rapidly and splits into two small cells by one cell, after which each small cell grows into a large cell and then splits into two new small cells, the process repeats. The number of cells continues to increase. After a certain period of time, the microorganisms enter a stable phase in which the cells stop dividing and the number of cells no longer increases, but the cells may continue to metabolize. Finally, the microbe enters the death phase, in which water is lost through the cell membrane and causes the cells to shrink and eventually die.
为了更好的利用微生物的发酵, 以得到理想的发酵产品, 需要对微生物 的培育和发酵等过程进行控制, 例如, 决定何时终止发酵过程, 何时对 ^微生 物的数量进行控制, 何时分离微生物等。 而控制过程很大程度上依靠对处理 参数, 尤其是微生物状态参数的度量。 而在微生物状态参数中, 微生物的数 量和形态又是其中最主要的两个参数。 现有技术中, 对微生物的数量和形态 的检测主要是基于显微镜的检测。 由于多数微生物的细胞是半透明的, 因此 在测量之前需要对细胞进行化学或物理的着色, 以增强在显微镜下的对比 率。 但该方法中, 由于着色后的微生物通常已经死亡, 这与活体微生物在形 态或结构上或多或少会有些差异, 因此对微生物细胞形态进行检测的准确度 不够高。 此外, 由人工通过显微镜进行形态的辨认也很难得到准确的形态检 测结果。  In order to make better use of microbial fermentation to obtain an ideal fermentation product, it is necessary to control the cultivation and fermentation of microorganisms, for example, when to decide when to terminate the fermentation process, when to control the amount of microorganisms, and when to separate. Microorganisms, etc. The control process relies heavily on the measurement of processing parameters, especially microbial state parameters. Among the microbial status parameters, the number and morphology of microorganisms are the two most important parameters. In the prior art, the detection of the number and morphology of microorganisms is mainly based on the detection of a microscope. Since most microbial cells are translucent, the cells need to be chemically or physically colored prior to measurement to enhance contrast under the microscope. However, in this method, since the colored microorganisms usually have died, which is somewhat different from the living microorganisms in form or structure, the accuracy of detecting the microbial cell morphology is not high enough. In addition, it is difficult to obtain an accurate morphological detection result by manually identifying the shape by a microscope.

具体实施方式 detailed description
本发明中, 考虑到光线照射到微生物细胞时会产生散射, 并且不同的细 胞形态所产生的散射光也会有所不同, 因此本发明实施例中, 可利用光线对 微生物细胞进行照射, 并从产生的散射光中提取反映微生物细胞形态的光信 号, 根据该光信号确定微生物细胞的形态。  In the present invention, scattering is generated when light is irradiated onto the microbial cells, and scattered light generated by different cell morphology is also different. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the microbial cells can be irradiated with light, and An optical signal reflecting the morphology of the microbial cells is extracted from the generated scattered light, and the morphology of the microbial cells is determined based on the optical signal.
为了对每个微生物细胞的形态进行统计分析,可对微生物样本中的微生 物细胞逐个进行照射。 为了对微生物样本中的微生物细胞逐个进行照射, 可 使微生物样本流经一个特制的流动室。 该流动室包括微生物样本液入口、 緩 沖液(用作包裹微生物样本的鞘液)入口以及废液出口。 在流动室中间有一 段能透光的光学测量微通道。 利用流体力学的鞘流技术, 当微生物样本液进 入流动室时, 在緩冲液的包裹下通过流动室, 并使得 生物细胞只能逐个地 通过光学测量微通道,这样光线就可以对微通道中所通过的微生物细胞逐个 进行照射。 In order to perform statistical analysis on the morphology of each microbial cell, the microbial cells in the microbial sample can be irradiated one by one. In order to illuminate the microbial cells in the microbial sample one by one, the microbial sample can be passed through a special flow chamber. The flow chamber includes a microbial sample fluid inlet, a buffer (used as a sheath fluid for encapsulating the microbial sample), and a waste liquid outlet. In the middle of the flow chamber is a section of optical measuring microchannels that transmit light. Using fluid dynamics sheath flow technology, when the microbial sample liquid enters the flow chamber, it passes through the flow chamber under the buffer of the buffer, and makes the biological cells only one by one The microchannels are optically measured so that the light can illuminate the microbial cells passing through the microchannels one by one.
进一步地, 根据照射结果还可以统计微生物细胞的数量, 进而计算单位 样本中或单位时间内统计的微生物细胞的数量, 从而确定微生物细胞的浓 度。  Further, based on the irradiation result, the number of microbial cells can be counted, and the number of microbial cells counted in a unit sample or per unit time can be calculated to determine the concentration of the microbial cells.
为使本发明的目的、 技术方案及优点更加清楚明白, 以下参照附图并结 合具体实施例, 对本发明进一步详细说明。  The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the specific implementation, it can be realized by a stepper motor driven syringe or by controlling a constant pressure system.
进入流动室后 220, 样本液被緩沖液包裹形成中间是样本流的层流(也 称鞘流)。 在通过流动室 220的光学测量ί 通道时样本流进一步被压缩使得 样本流中的微生物细胞逐个通过流动室 220的光学测量微通道,之后由緩冲 液和微生物样本液构成的废液从流动室中流出。 其中, 通道可以圆形的, 也 可以为正方形的或长方形的。 例如, 对于正方形的通道, 其边长可以取为 0.1mm到 0.2mm。  After entering the flow cell 220, the sample fluid is surrounded by a buffer to form a laminar flow (also called sheath flow) in the middle of the sample stream. The sample stream is further compressed as it passes through the optical measurement of the flow cell 220 such that the microbial cells in the sample stream pass one-by-one through the optical measurement microchannel of the flow cell 220, followed by the waste fluid consisting of the buffer and the microbial sample fluid from the flow cell Flowing out. Among them, the channel can be circular, or square or rectangular. For example, for a square channel, the side length can be taken from 0.1 mm to 0.2 mm.

其中, 光学测量单元 230和结果生成单元 240在具体实现时, 根据不同 的需要以及不同的反映微生物细胞形态的光信号, 可相应的有不同的结构及 其具体实现形式。  In the specific implementation, the optical measurement unit 230 and the result generation unit 240 may have different structures and specific implementation forms according to different needs and different optical signals reflecting the morphology of the microbial cells.
本发明实施例中, 根据米氏(MIE )散射原理, 将微生物细胞描述为球 体模型, 并利用球体模型来描述微生物细胞的散射模式, 进而确定微生物细 胞的形态。 通过大量的实验仿真和数据计算发现, 小角度散射信号 (Least Angle scatter signal, LAS ), 例如, 散射角度大约在 1度 (。)至 5。之间, 或 2。 至 5。之间的散射信号对球体模型的直径较为敏感。 如图 3所示, 图 3为球体 模型直径与 LAS强度的关系示意图。 可见, 球体模型的直径越大, LAS的 强度就越大, 因此, 可利用 LAS强度间接表示微生物细胞的体积形态, 即 描述微生物细胞是否长大。 In the embodiment of the present invention, the microbial cell is described as a ball according to the principle of MIE scattering. The body model, and uses a spheroid model to describe the scattering pattern of microbial cells, and then determine the morphology of the microbial cells. Through a large number of experimental simulations and data calculations, it is found that the Least Angle scatter signal (LAS), for example, the scattering angle is about 1 degree (.) to 5. Between, or 2. To 5. The scattering signal between them is sensitive to the diameter of the sphere model. As shown in Fig. 3, Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the diameter of the sphere model and the LAS intensity. It can be seen that the larger the diameter of the sphere model, the greater the strength of the LAS. Therefore, the volume morphology of the microbial cells can be indirectly expressed by the LAS intensity, that is, whether the microbial cells grow up.
此外,通过大量的实验仿真和数据计算还发现,中角度散射信号(Middle Angle scatter signal, MAS ), 例如,散射角度大约在 10°到 20。之间,或在 80。 到 100。之间的散射信号对细胞形态的复杂度较为敏感。 其中, 细胞的形态越 复杂, MAS的强度就越大。 因此, 可利用 MAS强度间接表示微生物细胞形 态的复杂度, 即描述微生物细胞是否存在分裂中的或萎缩中的形态等。  In addition, a large number of experimental simulations and data calculations have also found that the Middle Angle scatter signal (MAS), for example, has a scattering angle of about 10° to 20. Between, or at 80. To 100. The scattered signal between them is sensitive to the complexity of cell morphology. Among them, the more complex the morphology of the cells, the greater the intensity of MAS. Therefore, the complexity of the microbial cell morphology can be indirectly expressed by the MAS intensity, that is, whether the microbial cell has a split or atrophic morphology or the like.
因此, 可根据当前样本中各微生物细胞对应的 LAS强度和 MAS强度, 绘制由 LAS和 MAS强度取值构成的二维散点图。根据散点图中微生物不同 角度的散射光的强度取值, 可确定微生物的当前形态。  Therefore, a two-dimensional scattergram consisting of LAS and MAS intensity values can be drawn based on the LAS intensity and MAS intensity of each microbial cell in the current sample. The current morphology of the microorganism can be determined based on the intensity of the scattered light at different angles of the microorganisms in the scatter plot.
图 4(a)至图 4(f)列出了不同阶段散点图的一个示意图。这些图中,以 MAS 强度为横坐标, 且图示中以向右为正方向, LAS强度为纵坐标, 且图示中以 向上为正方向。 如图 4(a)至图 4(b)所示, 在适应阶段, 细胞体积在增大, 引 起散点图向上移动, 即 LAS强度取值变大。 如图 4(c)所示,在指数增长阶段 的初始期, 一些细胞开始分裂, 致使细胞形态的复杂度相应地增大, 因此散 点图向右移动, 即 MAS强度取值变大。 如图 4(d)所示, 随着指数增长阶段 的持续, 样本中存在各种细胞, 包括小细胞, 大细胞和分裂过程中的细胞, 相应地, 出现分布区域复杂的散点图。 如图 4(e)所示, 在稳定阶段, 大多数 细胞保持相对固定的大小和形态 ,重新形成分布区域简单的散点图。如图 4(f) 所示, 在死亡阶段, 大多数死细胞只剩下萎缩的外壳, 一些活细胞也开始大 量萎缩, 即出现如图 4(f)所示的分布区域向左下角移动的散点图。  Figure 4(a) to Figure 4(f) show a schematic diagram of the scatter plots at different stages. In these figures, the MAS intensity is plotted on the abscissa, and in the illustration, the LAS intensity is the ordinate and the LAS intensity is the ordinate. As shown in Fig. 4(a) to Fig. 4(b), in the adaptation phase, the cell volume increases, causing the scatter plot to move upward, that is, the LAS intensity value becomes larger. As shown in Fig. 4(c), in the initial stage of the exponential growth phase, some cells begin to divide, causing the complexity of the cell morphology to increase accordingly, so the scatter plot moves to the right, that is, the MAS intensity value becomes larger. As shown in Fig. 4(d), as the exponential growth phase continues, various cells are present in the sample, including small cells, large cells, and cells during division, and correspondingly, a complex scatter plot of the distribution area appears. As shown in Figure 4(e), during the stabilization phase, most cells maintain a relatively fixed size and morphology, reforming a simple scatter plot of the distribution. As shown in Fig. 4(f), in the death phase, most of the dead cells only have a shrinking outer shell, and some living cells also begin to shrink a lot, that is, the distribution area shown in Fig. 4(f) moves to the lower left corner. Scatter plot.
