Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of environmental microbiology, and in particular relates to a surfactant-producing petroleum-degrading bacterium KMJ-1 and a use thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of social productivity, the demand for petroleum energy has been rising year by year. The amount of oily sludge generated during oil extraction, transportation and smelting has also increased day by day, and it is also facing the problem of being difficult to degrade. To address this problem, physical, chemical and biological methods can be used to degrade oily sludge, and the biological method has attracted the attention of many scholars due to its advantages of being green, environmentally friendly and free of secondary pollution. At the same time, due to the stable oil-water interface in oily sludge, the degradation ability of biological methods on oily sludge cannot be improved rapidly. Studies have shown that surfactants can effectively break the oil-water interface and accelerate the degradation of oily sludge by microorganisms. Chemical surfactants have high output, low cost and good effect, but because they are chemical reagents, they violate the "harmless" principle of treating hazardous waste. Therefore, biological surfactants have become a research hotspot for many scholars due to their green and harmless, degradable, low-hazard, mild, high-efficiency and environmentally friendly characteristics. At present, many bacterial species have been discovered that have the ability to produce biosurfactants, including Bacillus sp., Pseudomonas sp., Paenibacillus sp., etc., all of which can produce biosurfactants.

[0003] However, the current production of biosurfactants is relatively low, so it is necessary to promptly discover new high-yield and efficient surfactant-producing petroleum-degrading bacteria.

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned defects in the existing oily sludge degradation, the inventors, based on their rich experience and professional knowledge in this type of material for many years, combined with theoretical analysis, conducted research and innovation, and developed a surfactant-producing oil-degrading bacterium KMJ-1 and its uses.

[0030] In order to further explain the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined purpose of the invention, a surfactant-producing petroleum-degrading bacterium KMJ-1 proposed in accordance with the present invention, its specific implementation method, characteristics and effects are described in detail as follows.

[0031] Example 1: Isolation and screening of surfactant-producing petroleum-degrading bacteria KMJ-1

[0032] The surfactant-producing petroleum-degrading bacteria KMJ-1 provided in this embodiment was identified as Alcaligenes sp. and is currently preserved in the China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center (CGMCC) of the Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, No. 3, Yard 1, Beichen West Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing, China. The preservation date is November 18, 2020, and the preservation number is CGMCC No.21171.

[0033] The separation and screening specifically includes the following steps:

[0034] (1) The strain was screened from the oily sludge scum of Jinling Petrochemical Company. 1.25 g crude oil was added to 250 mL beef extract peptone medium, sterilized at 121°C for 20 min, cooled to room temperature, and 10 g scum was added. The first generation was enriched and cultured in an oscillating incubator at 140 r / min and 25°C. After 3 days of culture, 10 mL of the first generation culture solution was taken and transferred to 250 mL of sterilized fresh beef extract peptone medium (the crude oil mass was increased to 2.5 g). The second generation was enriched and cultured in an oscillating incubator at 140 r / min and 25°C at room temperature. After 3 days, 10 mL of the second generation culture solution was taken and transferred to 250 mL of sterilized fresh beef extract peptone medium (the crude oil mass was increased to 5 g again). After 3 days, the third generation culture solution was obtained. Take 1 mL of the third generation culture solution and dilute it in a gradient of 10-1, 10-2, 10-3, 10-4, 10-5, and 10-6, and apply 1 mL of each gradient bacterial solution on the solid culture medium. Cultivate at 25℃ for 3 days, observe the morphology of the colonies, and preliminarily identify the presence of 4 different strains, which are separated and purified by streaking.

[0035] (2) Use an inoculation loop to pick out the four strains obtained and culture them for three days. Streak the plates three times to obtain the purified strains.

[0036] (3) Use an inoculation loop to pick up a small amount of isolated and purified colonies, inoculate them into beef extract peptone medium, and culture them at 130r / min at room temperature for 3 days. Take 1µL and drop it on a blood plate, culture it at 25℃ for 48h, and observe whether there is a hemolytic zone around the colony. Only one strain produced a hemolytic zone around the colony, named KMJ-1.

[0037] (4) Determination of oil-diffusion activity by oil diffusion method: Pour 30 ml of distilled water into a 9 cm diameter culture dish, add 1 mL of liquid paraffin, wait for an oil film to form on the water surface, then drop 10 µL of fermentation liquid into the center of the oil film. The diameter of the oil-draining circle was measured to be 5.5 cm.

[0038] (5) Emulsification performance: Add 3 ml of n-hexane and 2 ml of fermentation liquid to the colorimetric tube, shake vigorously for 60 seconds, let it stand for 24 hours, and observe the height of the emulsion layer.

[0039]

[0040] The emulsification performance was measured to be 67%.

[0041] Identification of strain 16SrDNA: The genomic DNA of the strain was extracted using Shanghai Sangon E2up column bacterial genomic DNA extraction kit, and then tested by 1% agarose gel electrophoresis. Shanghai Sangon Biotechnology Technology Service Co., Ltd. was commissioned to complete the purification and sequencing of PCR products. After the sequence obtained by sequencing was entered into Gene Bank, the BLAST comparison was used to analyze the homology and draw the phylogenetic tree, see Figure 1 .

[0042] Example 2: Use of surfactant-producing petroleum-degrading bacteria KMJ-1 for producing surfactants

[0043] This embodiment provides a method for producing surfactants using surfactant-producing petroleum-degrading bacteria KMJ-1, and the specific operation is as follows:

[0044] (1) Surfactant separation: The fermentation liquid after 3 days of culture was centrifuged to remove the bacteria. The supernatant was adjusted to pH 2.0 and placed in a 4°C refrigerator for 24 hours to observe whether there was precipitation. If there was precipitation, the surfactant may contain lipopeptides or lipoproteins. Otherwise, glycolipids may be present. Take the supernatant and add an equal volume of extractant. Extract twice, combine the organic phases and dry with anhydrous NaSO4, and evaporate at 45°C until a light yellow thick substance is obtained, which is the crude surfactant product.

[0045] (2) Purification of surfactant: The crude product was dissolved in 0.05 mol / L NaHCO3 solution, insoluble impurities were filtered out, the pH was adjusted to 2.0, and the product was centrifuged at 9000 r / min at 4 °C for 15 min. The precipitate was collected and dried at 40 °C to obtain the purified surfactant.

[0046] Surfactant identification: infrared scanning analysis (FI-IR), the above-mentioned purified surfactants were mixed and pressed into transparent thin sheets using the KBr tablet method, and then subjected to infrared scanning analysis and determination, see Figure 2 As can be seen from the figure, 1022.69 and 1093.94 cm -1 The absorption band indicated the existence of an ester structure, proving that the product of KMJ-1 was a glycolipid surfactant.

[0047] Example 3: Use of surfactant-producing petroleum-degrading bacteria KMJ-1 for the degradation of oily sludge

[0048] This embodiment provides a method for using surfactant-producing petroleum-degrading bacteria KMJ-1 to degrade oily sludge, and the specific operation is as follows:

[0049] The preparation process includes the following steps:

[0050] Inoculate 1 mL of seed solution into 19 mL of degradation medium sterilized by high temperature and high pressure at a 5% inoculation rate, then add 0.1 g of oily sludge, place it in an oscillating incubator at 150 r / min and 25 °C for degradation for 7 days, and use an infrared oil meter to measure the oil content of the oily sludge every day.
