TECHNICAL FIELD

The invention relates to the technical field of microorganisms and biological medicines, in particular to an Aureobasidium pullulans P1 and application thereof in preparing rare ginsenoside by converting ginsenoside Rb1.


BACKGROUND ART

Ginsenoside is triterpene glycoside compound, and is a main medicinal active ingredient of Ginseng radix, and is classified into main ginsenoside (such as Rb1, Rb2, Rc, Rd, Re, Rg1, etc. accounting for more than 80% of total saponins) and Rare ginsenoside (such as Rg3, Rh1, Rh2, F1, F2, CK, C-O, CY, C-Mc), etc. according to its content in plant. The rare ginsenoside refers to the saponin with extremely low or no content in the ginseng, but the pharmacological activity of the rare ginsenoside is superior to that of the high-content ginsenoside, for example, the rare ginsenoside Rg3 has various pharmacological activities of resisting tumor, preventing and treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and coronary heart disease, inhibiting cancer cell metastasis, protecting liver, protecting nerves, improving immunity and the like. The rare ginsenoside CK has good anti-cell mutation, tumor cell metastasis inhibiting, tumor cell apoptosis inducing, tumor cell drug resistance reversing, antiallergic and anti-inflammatory activities.


Although ginsenoside Rg3 and CK have high medicinal value, they are very rare in nature, and are difficult to separate from ginseng and other plants by a traditional method, which causes great limitation on the production of rare ginsenosides. Currently, the methods for preparing rare ginsenoside are mainly a direct acid hydrolysis method and a microorganism/enzyme conversion method. Direct acid hydrolysis is generally poor in selectivity, low in yield, not easy to purify, and easy to cause environmental pollution. The microorganism/enzyme conversion method has the advantages of high regioselectivity, stereoselectivity, high group selectivity, good targeting property, high yield, few byproducts, no pollution, easy industrial production and the like, can complete some reactions which are difficult to carry out by chemical methods, and obtains rare ginsenoside such as Rg3 and CK which are difficult to obtain by chemical methods, thus being considered as the most potential method for producing the rare ginsenoside.


The ginsenoside is used as a substrate to be converted into specific rare ginsenoside, so that the resource utilization rate can be improved, the extraction cost of the ginsenoside raw material can be reduced, but the specificity of various enzymes to the substrate is different, and the types of degraded glycosidic bonds are different. The strain capable of converting ginsenoside Rb1 and simultaneously generating Rg3 and CK is few, the recovery rate of the product is low, and the practical application of large-scale production of Rg3 and CK cannot be satisfied. Therefore, the search for strains capable of producing glycoside hydrolase with high efficiency and specificity for degrading ginsenoside Rb1 to produce ginsenoside Rg3 and CK by fermentation becomes a key point of research.
