[Prior Art] Selenium is an element with an atomic number of 34 and an atomic weight of 79, and was previously thought to be simply harmful to living organisms, but in 1957, Schwarz et al. announced that there is a physiological role in (J. Am. Chem. Soc.
, 79:3292, 1957), it was found to be toxic and, depending on how it is used, to become an active ingredient in living organisms. That is, since Pinsent discovered that the administration of molybdenum and selenium was necessary for the production of formate dehydrogenase in Escherichia coli, enzymes containing selenium as an essential component have been discovered one after another, and to date, formate dehydrogenase (J. Biol. Chem., 250, 6693 (

Glutathione peroxidase was discovered in bovine erythrocytes (J. Biol. Chem., 229,
189 (1957)), and it has since been reported that it also exists in tissues such as the liver (Arch.Biochem
.. Biophys. , 86, 1 (1960), Mouse,
It has also been reported to exist in many organs such as rats and humans. Glutathione peroxidase catalyzes the two-electron reduction of hydrogen peroxide, organic hydroperoxides, and lipid peroxides. In other words, the peroxidation of highly unsaturated fatty acids in lipids that make up the biomembrane system of cells such as mitochondria and microsomes is caused by active oxygen generated in the body, resulting in the inactivation of enzymes in biomembranes and the degradation of proteins and nucleic acids. Since oxygen damage such as cell destruction occurs through degeneration, glutathione peroxidase in the body performs peroxide treatment and plays an important role in preventing oxygen damage. Specific examples of oxygen disorders caused by a deficiency in glutathione peroxidase activity include arteriosclerosis, carcinogenesis, aging, membrane destruction, protein denaturation, hemolysis, exudative diathesis, and decreased immunity.

In order to prevent selenium deficiency, inorganic selenium has traditionally been added to fertilizers or used as an adjunct to mixed feeds in Australia and New Zealand. Also,
Selenium or mixtures of selenium and vitamins are widely used in selenium-deficient areas around the world, with 197
In 2014, the US FDA approved the addition of selenium to feed. On the other hand, attempts have been made to administer selenomethionine, which is an organic selenium, instead of administering inorganic selenium such as sodium selenite, but some have found that it is more effective than inorganic selenium, or conversely, inorganic selenium is better. Some test results showed that selenomethionine was preferable in all cases due to large variations. However, inorganic selenium is highly toxic, and the addition of inorganic selenium to feed, food, etc. is not approved in Japan for safety reasons. Under these circumstances, reports have been made regarding organic selenium using microorganisms. For example, in Japanese Patent Publication No. 55-36314, microorganisms that can accumulate selenium in their cells are cultured and grown in a medium to which a water-soluble inorganic selenium compound is added in an amount that does not significantly inhibit the growth of microorganisms. Furthermore, JP-A-57-174098 discloses a production method for obtaining bioactive selenium-containing protein polysaccharides from selenium-containing yeast cells cultured in a medium supplemented with selenium compounds. It is a method to obtain the body, and it is published in JP-A-60-1
No. 80582 reports bacteria that can accumulate L-selenocysteine by culturing in a medium containing selenium compounds. Furthermore, JP-A No. 60-224451 discloses that organic selenium-containing microbial cells obtained by culturing and propagating Bacillus subtilis in a medium to which inorganic selenium was added in advance were added to feed and fed to broilers.
It has been shown to be excellent in weight gain rate and feed conversion rate.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In order to prevent and treat diseases caused by lack of glutathione peroxidase activity, it is sufficient to increase the production of glutathione peroxidase in the body, and as mentioned above, the activity of glutathione peroxidase Since it is known that selenium is essential for expression, it may be possible to administer selenium to the body in some way, but in the first place, glutathione peroxidase cannot be produced from inorganic selenium or selenomethionine in any production system. It is not necessarily clear whether selenium is taken up and formed into glutathione peroxidase, and there are various selenium-containing proteins other than glutathione peroxidase in living organisms whose roles are unknown. There is no guarantee that glutathione peroxidase activity will be directly enhanced, and more specifically, there is no guarantee that glutathione peroxidase activity will be enhanced by administering inorganic selenium, selenomethionine, etc. or organic selenium-containing microbial cells. It was completely unknown what would happen. Therefore, there has been a need for a truly effective composition that can enhance the activity of glutathione peroxidase.

Furthermore, as a result of further research on this polymerized selenium-containing bacterial cell, it was found that the polymerized selenium-containing bacterial cell has various effects that are not necessarily related to the effect of enhancing the activity of glutathione peroxidase.

Patent application No. 2-14, currently unpublished, based on the invention of the present inventors
The use of polymerized selenium-containing microbial cells prepared according to the method of No. 9318 has the advantage that microbial cells containing high concentrations of polymerized selenium can be efficiently obtained, as explained below. It is particularly preferred because it significantly enhances glutathione peroxidase activity. In other words, a particularly preferable method for preparing polymerized selenium-containing microbial cells is to prepare microbial cells capable of accumulating polymerized selenium within the microbial cells using an organic compound and a water-soluble selenium polymerization substrate. This is a method in which the bacterial cells are dispersed in an aqueous solution containing a selenium compound so that the bacterial cell concentration is higher than the biological space, and polymerized selenium is accumulated in the bacterial cells.

[0010] According to this production method, there is no need for bacterial growth in a medium to which inorganic selenium has been added, so it is possible to increase the selenium concentration to a level higher than that which inhibits bacterial cell growth. Bacterial cells containing molecularized selenium can be produced. In addition, since the bacterial cells are cultured and propagated in advance in a medium that does not substantially contain selenium, there is no growth inhibition caused by selenium during culturing, and compared to the case of culturing and propagating in a medium containing selenium, a large amount of cells can be produced in a short period of time. A bacterial cell containing polymeric selenium can be prepared. Furthermore, since the bacterial cells are concentrated to a concentration higher than the biological space concentration, the reaction system can be made smaller, and therefore the amount of waste liquid after the reaction can be reduced.
Since the reaction solution does not contain metals other than selenium, waste solution treatment is simple. To further explain this production method, the microbial cells capable of accumulating polymerized selenium mentioned above may be appropriately cultured and propagated in a culture medium or medium prepared in advance according to an appropriate method. For culturing, each of the target microorganisms exemplified above is cultured using the culture medium composition normally used for culturing, such as carbon sources, nitrogen sources, inorganic salts, etc., or the culture medium composition as appropriate. The culture may be carried out at any temperature, and if necessary, the seed culture may be cultured in a preparatory medium or medium, and then cultured and propagated in each culture medium or medium as appropriate. Bacteria may be collected by conventional means such as centrifugation or filtration at an appropriate time from the late logarithmic growth phase to the late stationary phase of the bacterial cell growth curve. For example, when selenite is used as a water-soluble selenium compound, it is preferably cultured and collected as appropriate from the late logarithmic growth phase, which is the stage before selenite reductase is produced, in the bacterial growth curve to the early stationary phase. If the bacteria are grown, it is preferable that the number of proliferating bacteria is large, and the bacteria are used to prepare selenite under conditions that do not substantially require cell growth, preferably at a bacterial concentration higher than the biological space. When reacting with a reaction solution containing selenium, even if selenium is taken up by the bacterial cells, it is not affected by the selenite reductase, so the production of inorganic selenium can be substantially prevented. Bacterial cells can be obtained.

[0012] Next, the culture medium or medium used for culturing and propagation is removed from the collected bacterial cells by washing and rinsing them several times with water, etc., and the bacterial cells are further removed from the selenium polymerized substrate and the aqueous solution. Selenium is dispersed in an aqueous solution (hereinafter sometimes referred to as reaction solution) containing a selenium compound, and selenium is accumulated in the bacterial cells as polymerized selenium. It is necessary to adjust the bacterial cell concentration to completely stop the consumption of the selenium polymerization substrate due to bacterial cell proliferation, and direct the consumption of the selenium polymerization substrate exclusively to the polymerization reaction. Preparing the bacterial cell concentration to exceed this biological space means that even if the bacterial cell suspension (reaction solution) essentially contains components that allow the bacterial cells to proliferate, This means that the bacterial cells are prepared under conditions in which they are substantially unable to proliferate any further, ie, at a concentration that is higher than the steady state concentration of the bacterial cells in the bacterial cell growth curve. For example, in yeast, 109
For lactic acid bacteria, the concentration is 108 cells/ml, and for chlorella, it is 109 cells/ml or more.
5 x 108 co/ml, 1 to 5 x 109 for chlorella
It is sufficient to use a bacterial cell concentration of 0.5 μl/ml, and in practice, the bacterial cell concentration in a suspension of these microorganisms is measured using the OD value using a spectrophotometer. The measurement error of the OD value at the time of bacterial cell concentration may be ±10%. Furthermore, in the case of mold, since it is impossible to measure the OD value, the bacterial cells may be suspended in a reaction solution smaller than the amount of the culture solution.
