Description

【0001】
【産業上の利用分野】
本発明は動物細胞、植物細胞や微生物の培養、特に麹や納豆の固体培養及び細胞を用いた各種の分析や解析における細胞の濃度及び/または生理活性の測定に利用される。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来培養時の細胞の濃度や生理活性を測定する場合基質の濃度変化、培養槽へ供給するガスの供給濃度と排出濃度の差や通気を停止した際の溶存酸素の濃度変化から求めていたが細胞の濃度や生理活性が小さい場合それらの濃度変化が小さく正確な測定ができなかった。特に固体培養では細胞の濃度や生理活性を自動的に計測する手段が無く発酵の適切な制御に支障を来していた。また食品や水質検査で細菌検査が一般に行われており、シャーレ上で培養してコロニー数をカウントする方法が一般的であるが培養に時間がかかり短時間での計測ができなかった。
【0003】
【解決しようとする課題】
本発明は従来の欠点に鑑みて細胞濃度や生理活性が小さい場合でもこれを容易に短時間にかつ無菌状態を保って計測する手段を提供する。
【0004】
【課題を解決する手段】
本発明者は上記課題を解決する手段を検討し、ガスを閉鎖したまま循環することによってガス濃度の変化を増幅することができること、更にガスを閉鎖循環状態で培養するとガスが吸収されまたは発生して気相が陰圧または陽圧になって培養条件が変動することがあるのでガス循環閉鎖流路中に可撓部分を含めることによってこれを解決出来ること等を見いだし本発明を完成させた。請求項1に記載の発明細胞濃度及び/または生理活性測定装置はガス循環閉鎖流路を有する培養槽及び該ガス循環閉鎖流路中のガス成分濃度を測定する手段を有し、該ガス成分濃度を測定する手段により測定した該ガス成分濃度の変化から該ガス成分濃度の変化速度を計測することにより細胞濃度及び/または生理活性を測定する細胞濃度及び/または生理活性測定装置において、該ガス循環閉鎖流路に、その体積変化によって圧力変動無くガスの体積変化を吸収できる可撓部分を有することを特徴とする。
【0005】
請求項2に記載の発明の細胞濃度及び/または生理活性測定装置は上記細胞濃度及び/または生理活性測定装置がさらに上記ガスを間欠的に交換する機構を有することを特徴とする。請求項3に記載の発明の細胞濃度及び/または生理活性測定装置は上記ガスを間欠的に交換する機構が上記ガス成分濃度が設定値に達したら自動的に上記ガスを交換する機構を含むことを特徴とする。請求項4に記載の発明の細胞濃度及び/または生理活性測定装置は上記培養槽が固体培養槽であることを特徴とする
【0007】
【作用】
培養槽中のガスを閉鎖循環することによってガスは再利用され培養槽中で消費または発生するガスは積算される。従ってワンパスでは変化量が少なかったガス成分も増幅して計測できる。ガスの循環流路を閉鎖系にしておくとガスの吸収や発生によって循環流路の圧力が変動し循環流路や培養槽に損傷を与える場合がありまた培養に影響を与える場合もある。そこで本発明は循環流路中に可撓部分を含むことによってこの問題を解決した。可撓部分の体積変化によって圧力変動無くガスの体積変化を吸収できる。循環を続けているとガス組成が変化し培養に適切ではなくなることもあるので間欠的にガスを交換する機構を備えることが望ましい。
【0008】
上記の間欠的にガスを交換する機構が上記ガス濃度が設定値に達したら自動的にガスを交換する機構を含むことによって供給ガス濃度を培養に適切な濃度範囲に保っことが出来、細胞濃度及び/または生理活性の測定精度が向上する。本発明は液体培養でも固体培養でも適用可能であるが、液体培養では液中の成分濃度の変化や溶存酸素濃度の変化等計測対象が種々有るが固体発酵ではこれに相当する計測は難しく本発明は特に固体培養に有効である。
【0010】
【本発明の実施の形態】
次に本発明の実施の形態を説明する。本発明は液体培養及び固体培養、好気発酵及び嫌気発酵、微生物、動物細胞及び植物細胞の培養やこれらの組み合わせに利用できる。また必ずしも培養時の細胞の濃度及び/または生理活性だけでなく、細胞の生理活性を測定することによって間接的に各種成分例えば抗生物質や毒物を分析や解析する系にも利用でき、本発明ではこれらも含めて細胞に影響を与える系を培養と記している。
【0011】
本発明を例えば好気性液体培養に応用する場合、酸素を含むガスを液体中に散気供給するが培養槽の排気口にコンデンサーを設けて水分を還流し、乾燥ガスをポンプで無菌フィルターを介して培養槽に再び散気する。このガス循環閉鎖流路中のガス成分例えば酸素または炭酸ガスを計測するとそれらのガス濃度が変化する。その変化速度を計測することによって細胞の濃度及び/または生理活性を測定できる。この測定から呼吸活性や呼吸商も測定でき生理活性測定が可能になる。測定するガス成分としては上記酸素、炭酸ガスのほか水素、アンモニアが有用で嫌気発酵ではメタンも有効な測定対象となる。
【0012】
納豆、麹等の基質が固体の固体培養でもガスを閉鎖循環するとガス濃度が変化する。その変化速度から細胞濃度、生理活性さらに培養過程や培養の終点の推定等が可能になる。
【0013】
培養液に抗生物質や毒物を添加した場合、添加しない場合との上記のガス濃度の変化速度の違いから添加物の細胞生理に与える影響が推測でき添加物の効果や安全性が評価できる。
【0014】
【実施例1】
本発明をさらに詳細に実施例に従って説明する。図1は本発明の実施例1の模式フロー図を示す。培養槽1に液体培地2が張ってあり散気ユニット3から培養液中に散気する。散気されたガスはコンデンサー4で水分を還流しポンプ5、可撓性容器6、ガス濃度測定装置7さらに無菌フィルター8を通って再び散気する閉鎖循環流路を形成する。攪拌装置を備える事も多いが図示しない。
【0015】
上記実施例の実施の態様を以下に説明する。散気されたガスはポンプ5で循環して使用される。ガス成分が培養によって消費されまたは発生するとその変化はワンパスの場合に比べて増幅されるので細胞濃度及び/または生理活性が小さい場合でも単位時間あたりの変化量を測定することによって大きな変化量として測定でき精度のよい測定が可能となる。培養中発生するまたは吸収されるガスによる循環ガスの体積変化は可撓性容器6によって吸収され培養槽には圧力変動は生じない。
【0016】
【参考例】
図2は参考例の模式フロー図を示す。図中の符号は実施例1と同じ名称及び機能のものは同じ符号を用いた。培養槽1に固体基質11があり固体培養をしている。ガスはポンプ5、ガス濃度測定装置7、無菌フィルター8を通って循環される。ガス濃度測定装置7はガス濃度設定装置12と比較され設定値を超えるまたは下回ると一定時間電磁弁13及び14が開いてガス供給源15から新しいガスが供給される。破線及び矢印16はその制御系統を示す。電磁弁13及び14が開いている間はポンプ5は停止している。破線17はガス濃度測定装置7とガス濃度設定装置12を比較している状態を示す。
【0017】
参考例のように間欠的に新しいガスを導入すると培養条件を一定に保つことが出来る。この時培養中のガス濃度の変化速度から細胞濃度及び/または生理活性を測定できる。設定ガス濃度は時間と共に変化させてもよい。ガス濃度測定装置としては連続的な測定が望ましいが間欠的にサンプリングして測定しても機能を果たす場合もある。連続的にガスを循環することが望ましくない場合はポンプはガス濃度測定時だけ作動させてもよい。また通常は新鮮なガスを培養槽に供給し排気口を開放していて細胞濃度及び/または生理活性測定時に上記のようにガス循環閉鎖流路を形成してもよい。
【0018】
【発明の効果】
以上本発明を実施例を挙げて説明したが本発明はこれらに限定されるものではない。本発明により細胞濃度や生理活性が低くても増幅して測定できるので精度よく短時間にかつ無菌を保って測定が可能になった。さらに培養液や固体基質をサンプリングしなくてもまた培養系に影響を与えることなく測定が可能になった。

[Industrial application fields]
The present invention is used for culturing animal cells, plant cells, and microorganisms, particularly solid culture of straw and natto, and measuring cell concentrations and / or physiological activities in various analyzes and analyzes using cells.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, when measuring cell concentration and physiological activity during culture, it was obtained from the change in substrate concentration, the difference between the supply and discharge concentrations of gas supplied to the culture tank, and the change in dissolved oxygen concentration when aeration was stopped. When the cell concentration and physiological activity were small, their concentration change was small and accurate measurement could not be performed. In particular, in solid culture, there is no means for automatically measuring cell concentration and physiological activity, which hinders proper control of fermentation. In addition, bacterial tests are generally performed in food and water quality tests, and a method of counting the number of colonies by culturing on a petri dish is generally used, but it takes a long time to culture and cannot be measured in a short time.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved]
The present invention provides means for easily measuring even in a short time and in a sterile state even when the cell concentration and physiological activity are small in view of the conventional drawbacks.
[0004]
[Means for solving the problems]
The present inventor has studied a means for solving the above-mentioned problems, can amplify a change in gas concentration by circulating the gas in a closed state, and further, if the gas is cultured in a closed circulation state, the gas is absorbed or generated. Thus, the present invention has been completed by finding that this can be solved by including a flexible portion in the gas circulation closed channel because the gas phase may become negative pressure or positive pressure and the culture conditions may fluctuate. Cell concentration and / or physiological activity measurement equipment of the first aspect of the present invention have a means for measuring the gas component concentration of the culture tank and in the gas circulation closed flow path having a gas circulation closed passage, the In a cell concentration and / or physiological activity measuring apparatus for measuring a cell concentration and / or physiological activity by measuring a change rate of the gas component concentration from a change in the gas component concentration measured by means for measuring a gas component concentration, to the gas circulation closed flow path, characterized in that it have a flexible portion capable of absorbing a volume change of the pressure fluctuations without gas by the volume change.
[0005]
Cell concentration and / or physiological activity measuring device of the invention described in claim 2 is characterized by having a mechanism for the cell concentration and / or physiological activity measuring device further intermittently exchanging the gas. It cell concentration and / or physiological activity measuring device of the invention further comprising a mechanism mechanism for intermittently exchanging the gas exchange automatically the gas When the gas component concentration reaches the set value to claim 3 It is characterized by. The cell concentration and / or physiological activity measuring apparatus according to the invention described in claim 4 is characterized in that the culture tank is a solid culture tank .
[0007]
[Action]
By closing and circulating the gas in the culture tank, the gas is reused and the gas consumed or generated in the culture tank is integrated. Therefore, it is possible to amplify and measure a gas component whose amount of change is small in one pass . If the gas circulation channel is kept in a closed system, the pressure of the circulation channel fluctuates due to gas absorption and generation, which may damage the circulation channel and the culture tank, and may affect the culture. The present invention solves this problem by including a flexible portion in the circulation flow path. The volume change of the gas can be absorbed without a pressure fluctuation by the volume change of the flexible part. When continues to recycling the gas composition sometimes it becomes not suitable to change the culture to a mechanism to exchange intermittently gas is desirable.
[0008]
The mechanism for exchanging the gas intermittently includes a mechanism for automatically exchanging the gas when the gas concentration reaches the set value, so that the supply gas concentration can be kept in a concentration range suitable for culture, and the cell concentration And / or the measurement accuracy of physiological activity improves. The present invention can be applied to both liquid culture and solid culture. In liquid culture, there are various measurement objects such as changes in component concentration and dissolved oxygen concentration in the liquid, but in solid fermentation, measurement corresponding to this is difficult. Is particularly effective for solid culture.
[0010]
[Embodiments of the Invention]
Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. The present invention can be used for liquid culture and solid culture, aerobic fermentation and anaerobic fermentation, culture of microorganisms, animal cells and plant cells, and combinations thereof. In addition, the present invention can be used not only in the concentration and / or physiological activity of cells during culture but also indirectly in a system for analyzing and analyzing various components such as antibiotics and toxins by measuring the physiological activity of cells. A system that affects cells including these is described as culture.
[0011]
When the present invention is applied to, for example, aerobic liquid culture, oxygen-containing gas is diffused and supplied to the liquid, but a condenser is provided at the exhaust port of the culture tank to recirculate moisture, and the dry gas is pumped through a sterile filter. Aerate again in the culture tank. When gas components such as oxygen or carbon dioxide in the gas circulation closed channel are measured, their gas concentrations change. By measuring the rate of change, cell concentration and / or physiological activity can be measured. From this measurement, respiratory activity and respiratory quotient can be measured, and physiological activity can be measured. As gas components to be measured, hydrogen and ammonia are useful in addition to the above oxygen and carbon dioxide, and methane is also an effective measurement target in anaerobic fermentation.
[0012]
Even in solid culture where the substrates such as natto and koji are solid, the gas concentration changes when the gas is closed and circulated. From the rate of change, it is possible to estimate the cell concentration, physiological activity, culture process and end point of culture.
[0013]
When antibiotics or poisons are added to the culture solution, the effect on the cell physiology of the additive can be estimated from the difference in the gas concentration change rate from the case where it is not added, and the effect and safety of the additive can be evaluated.
[0014]
[Example 1]
The invention will be described in more detail according to examples. FIG. 1 shows a schematic flow diagram of Embodiment 1 of the present invention. A liquid medium 2 is stretched over the culture tank 1 and diffused from the diffuser unit 3 into the culture solution. The diffused gas recirculates moisture in the condenser 4 to form a closed circulation channel in which the gas is again diffused through the pump 5, the flexible container 6, the gas concentration measuring device 7 and the aseptic filter 8. A stirrer is often provided but not shown.
[0015]
Embodiments of the above embodiment will be described below. The diffused gas is circulated by the pump 5 and used. When the gas component is consumed or generated by culture, the change is amplified compared to the one-pass case, so even if the cell concentration and / or physiological activity is small, it is measured as a large change amount by measuring the change amount per unit time And accurate measurement is possible. The volume change of the circulating gas due to the gas generated or absorbed during the culture is absorbed by the flexible container 6 and no pressure fluctuation occurs in the culture tank.
[0016]
[Reference example]
FIG. 2 shows a schematic flow diagram of a reference example . In the figure, the same reference numerals are used for the same names and functions as those in the first embodiment. There is a solid substrate 11 in the culture tank 1 for solid culture. The gas is circulated through the pump 5, the gas concentration measuring device 7, and the aseptic filter 8. When the gas concentration measuring device 7 is compared with the gas concentration setting device 12 and exceeds or falls below the set value, the solenoid valves 13 and 14 are opened for a certain time and a new gas is supplied from the gas supply source 15. A broken line and an arrow 16 indicate the control system. The pump 5 is stopped while the solenoid valves 13 and 14 are open. A broken line 17 indicates a state in which the gas concentration measuring device 7 and the gas concentration setting device 12 are compared.
[0017]
When new gas is introduced intermittently as in the reference example, the culture conditions can be kept constant. At this time, the cell concentration and / or physiological activity can be measured from the change rate of the gas concentration during the culture. The set gas concentration may be changed with time. As a gas concentration measuring device, continuous measurement is desirable, but there are cases where it functions even if it is measured intermittently by sampling. If it is not desirable to circulate the gas continuously, the pump may be activated only during gas concentration measurement. Ordinarily, fresh gas may be supplied to the culture tank and the exhaust port may be opened to form the gas circulation closed channel as described above when measuring the cell concentration and / or physiological activity.
[0018]
【The invention's effect】
Although the present invention has been described with reference to examples, the present invention is not limited to these examples. According to the present invention, even if the cell concentration or physiological activity is low, it can be amplified and measured, so that measurement can be performed accurately and in a short time while maintaining sterility. Furthermore, measurement can be performed without sampling the culture medium or solid substrate and without affecting the culture system.
