Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of wastewater treatment and relates to a Rhodobacterium sphaeroides strain capable of degrading 2,4-dichlorophenol and simultaneously producing hydrogen by fermentation, and application thereof in wastewater degradation. Background Art

[0002] Phenolic wastewater is a common pollutant in industrial wastewater. 2,4-Dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP), a typical chlorophenol, is highly toxic and difficult to degrade, posing a serious threat to the ecological environment and human health. Once it enters water bodies, it not only damages aquatic ecosystems but can also accumulate through the food chain, ultimately endangering human health. Therefore, developing efficient and environmentally friendly phenolic wastewater treatment technologies is of great practical significance.

[0003] Currently, methods for treating 2,4-DCP primarily include physical, chemical, and biological methods. While physical and chemical methods can remove 2,4-DCP to a certain extent, they often suffer from high energy consumption, high costs, and the potential for secondary pollution. In contrast, biological methods have attracted widespread attention due to their environmental friendliness and low costs. However, traditional biological treatment technologies often suffer from limitations such as low degradation efficiency and long treatment times when treating high-concentration or recalcitrant organic pollutants. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have demonstrated significant advantages in the treatment of phenolic wastewater, offering high efficiency in degrading recalcitrant organic matter, rapid reaction times, and a wide range of applications. However, AOPs typically consume large amounts of energy and chemical reagents and may generate secondary pollution, limiting their large-scale application. Therefore, the search for green treatment technologies that can both efficiently degrade phenolic pollutants and achieve resource utilization has become a hot topic.

[0004] Rhodobacterium sphaeroides ( Rhodobacter sphaeroides) is a photosynthetic bacterium capable of decomposing organic matter to produce hydrogen under anaerobic light conditions. It is currently primarily used in bioenergy production, environmental remediation, synthesis of high-value-added products, and agricultural applications. Chinese Patent No. CN110343643B discloses a strain of Rhodobacter sphaeroides that can produce hydrogen through photofermentation using a wide range of carbon and nitrogen sources. Its cumulative hydrogen production reaches a maximum of 2954 mL / L, and it is used to degrade peanut shell hydrolyzate. Chinese Patent No. 2006101175136 discloses a strain of Rhodobacter sphaeroides that can be used with organic acids, sugars, or alcohols. Its hydrogen conversion rate exceeds 70% using butyrate as a substrate, but it does not involve pollutant degradation. CN105461082A reports the use of Rhodobacter sphaeroides in the treatment of soybean wastewater, primarily involving small molecule carbon and nitrogen sources. Soybean wastewater is non-toxic and harmless, and the goal is to obtain bacterial resources for use in agriculture, animal husbandry, or fisheries. Han Qingli et al. published a paper titled "Protective Effects of Rhodobacter sphaeroides on Zebrafish Exposed to Dichlorvos," reporting that Rhodobacter sphaeroides could remove over 90% of the organophosphorus pesticide dichlorvos at a concentration of 33.6 mg / L within 24 hours, providing scientific evidence for the water pollutant degradation capabilities of Rhodobacter sphaeroides. CN107513513B reported a strain of Rhodobacter sphaeroides that efficiently degraded furfural toxins, but lacked other properties. Jiao Haihua et al. published a paper titled "Effects of Rhodobacter sphaeroides on the Carcinogenic Risk of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon-Contaminated Soil," which stated that the mechanism of action of Rhodobacter sphaeroides application is to activate the soil microbial ecosystem and promote the removal of PAHs in the soil.

[0005] Although Rhodobacter sphaeroides has achieved certain application results in the fields of energy and environment, the performance of the currently reported Rhodobacter sphaeroides strains in degrading organic pollutants and producing hydrogen needs to be further improved.

[0034] 3. Physiological and biochemical characteristics (1) Carbon source utilization The strain in the logarithmic growth phase was inoculated into the fermentation medium at a 10% inoculation ratio. The initial pH of the fermentation medium was 7.0. The culture was kept at 30°C and 2000 lux. The fermentation performance of the strain under different carbon source types (10 g / L) was compared. The results are shown in Figure 3 .

[0035] The fermentation medium comprises: 5.00-20.00 g / L of carbon source, 1.00 g / L of L-glutamic acid, 0.04 g / L of L-aspartic acid, 1.00 g / L of sodium chloride, 20 mL / L of phosphate buffer, 20 mL / L of nutrient solution, 1 mL / L of vitamin solution, and a pH of 5-10; the carbon source comprises any one or a combination of xylose, maltose, rhamnose, glucose, succinic acid, malic acid, acetic acid, butyric acid, and pretreated corn straw hydrolyzate; the nutrient solution comprises: 10.00 g / L of nitrilotriacetic acid, 29.50 g / L of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, 3.34 g / L of calcium chloride dihydrate, 0.10 g / L of ferrous sulfate heptahydrate, 0.01 g / L of ammonium molybdate tetrahydrate, and 25 mL / L of trace element solution; the trace element solution comprises: 11.00 g / L of zinc sulfate heptahydrate g / L, disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid dihydrate 2.77 g / L, ferrous sulfate heptahydrate 5.00 g / L, boric acid 0.11 g / L, manganese sulfate 1.38 g / L, copper sulfate pentahydrate 0.39 g / L, cobalt nitrate hexahydrate 0.25 g / L; the components of the vitamin solution are: thiamine hydrochloride 0.50 g / L, niacin 1.00 g / L, and biotin 0.01 g / L.

[0036] By the attached Figure 3 The data show that R. sphaeroides HTP1 can metabolize a variety of carbon sources to produce hydrogen. For sugars as substrates, R. sphaeroides HTP1 efficiently metabolizes rhamnose to produce hydrogen. Bacteroides ruminicola”, the metabolic pathway of rhamnose in microorganisms is relatively direct and efficient, and it can be quickly decomposed to produce a large amount of ATP, which is beneficial to maintaining the metabolism and hydrogen production of microorganisms. In addition, rhamnose can be extracted from waste at low cost. When acids are used as substrates, Rhodobacter sphaeroides HTP1 metabolizes succinate to produce hydrogen more efficiently. Therefore, wastes such as succinate production wastewater and straw hydrolyzate can be used for photofermentation hydrogen production by Rhodobacter sphaeroides HTP1, thereby obtaining low-energy consumption and highly compatible biohydrogen energy.

[0037] (2) Growth curve Rhodobacterium sphaeroides ( Rhodobacter sphaeroides ) HTP1 was inoculated into liquid culture medium and cultured at a constant temperature of 30°C and 2000 lux. Samples were taken at regular intervals and their absorbance at 660 nm was measured to draw a growth curve of the strain, as shown in Figure 2. Figure 4 shown.

[0038] The components of the liquid culture medium are: 2.00 g / L succinic acid, 0.50 g / L ammonium sulfate, 0.10 g / L L-glutamic acid, 0.04 g / L L-aspartic acid, 1.00 g / L sodium chloride, 20 mL / L phosphate buffer, 20 mL / L nutrient solution, and 1 mL / L vitamin solution; the components of the nutrient solution are: 10.00 g / L nitrilotriacetic acid, 29.50 g / L magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, 3.34 g / L calcium chloride dihydrate, 0.10 g / L ferrous sulfate heptahydrate, 0.01 g / L ammonium molybdate tetrahydrate, and 25 mL / L trace element solution; the components of the trace element solution are: 11.00 g / L zinc sulfate heptahydrate, 2.77 g / L disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid dihydrate, 5.00 g / L ferrous sulfate heptahydrate, 0.11 g / L boric acid, and 1.38 g / L manganese sulfate. g / L, copper sulfate pentahydrate 0.39 g / L, cobalt nitrate hexahydrate 0.25 g / L; the components of the vitamin solution are: thiamine hydrochloride 0.50 g / L, niacin 1.00 g / L, and biotin 0.01 g / L.

[0039] By the attached Figure 4 The data show that Rhodobacter sphaeroides HTP1 has the characteristic of rapid growth. A single colony is inoculated into liquid culture medium and cultured for 24-36 hours to obtain seed liquid with suitable photobiomass density for hydrogen production application.

[0040] (3) Removal of 2,4-dichlorophenol and hydrogen production performance 2,4-Dichlorophenol reacts with 4-aminoantipyrine (4-AAP) and potassium ferricyanide (K3[Fe(CN)6]) under alkaline conditions to generate red quinone compounds with a maximum absorption wavelength of around 510 nm. The concentration of 2,4-dichlorophenol is quantified by colorimetry.

[0041] The amount of hydrogen gas was calculated by multiplying the hydrogen concentration by the gas production volume, which was determined by volumetric measurement under standard atmospheric pressure. Hydrogen concentration was measured using a TCD (thermal conductivity detector) in a gas chromatograph equipped with a 4 m × 3 mm stainless steel Hayesep tube. Argon was used as the carrier gas at a flow rate of 20 mL / min, the detector temperature was 200°C, the filament temperature was set at 230°C, the injection port was set at 100°C, and the column oven temperature was 50°C. The sample to be tested and the standard sample were injected into the injector at the same injection volume. The peak area ratio between the sample to be tested and the standard sample was the hydrogen concentration ratio.

[0042] Take the spherical red bacteria in the logarithmic growth phase ( Rhodobacter sphaeroides ) HTP1 bacterial suspension was inoculated at a 10% inoculum ratio into a fermentation medium with an initial pH of 7.0 and 10 g / L glucose as the carbon source. Cultures were maintained at 30°C and 5000 lux of light. 2,4-Dichlorophenol removal and fermentation hydrogen production by the strains were compared at 2,4-Dichlorophenol concentrations of 0, 25, 50, 100, and 200 mg / L. Detailed results are shown in the Appendix. Figure 5 shown.

[0043] The tolerance concentration of 2,4-dichlorophenol of Rhodobacter sphaeroides HTP1 was 500 mg / L, and the removal efficiency of 200 mg / L 2,4-dichlorophenol reached 54.3% within 96 h. The hydrogen production in the fermentation broth containing 0, 25, 50, 100, and 200 mg / L 2,4-dichlorophenol was 2565, 2173, 1513, 1250, and 953 mL / L, respectively.

[0044] The fermentation medium is a liquid culture medium containing 100 mg / L of ferric oxide, and the composition of the liquid culture medium is: 2.00 g / L of succinic acid, 0.50 g / L of ammonium sulfate, 0.10 g / L of L-glutamic acid, 0.04 g / L of L-aspartic acid, 1.00 g / L of sodium chloride, 20 mL / L of phosphate buffer, 20 mL / L of nutrient solution, and 1 mL / L of vitamin solution.

[0045] By the attached Figure 5 The data shows that with increasing amounts of 2,4-dichlorophenol added, the cumulative hydrogen production of Rhodobacter sphaeroides initially increases and then decreases. While degrading 2,4-dichlorophenol, Rhodobacter sphaeroides produces hydrogen, but the hydrogen production and removal rate are affected by the 2,4-dichlorophenol concentration. Within a certain concentration range (e.g., 25 mg / L), Rhodobacter sphaeroides exhibits high hydrogen production and removal rates. High concentrations of 2,4-dichlorophenol inhibit Rhodobacter sphaeroides, resulting in decreased hydrogen production and removal rates.

[0046] Based on the above biological and physiological and biochemical characteristics, the above strain Rhodobacter sphaeroides ( Rhodobacter sphaeroides ) HTP1 was deposited on March 3, 2025, at the Budapest Treaty International Microbiological Depository: China General Microbiology Center (CGMCC), address: Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, No. 3, Yard 1, Beichen West Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing, with the deposit number: CGMCC No. 33696. The proposed classification name is: Rhodobacter sphaeroides ( Rhodobacter sphaeroides ).

[0047] Example 2 Based on Example 1, this example provides a microbial agent for degrading 2,4-dichlorophenol and simultaneously fermenting hydrogen. The specific preparation process is as follows: Step 1: isolate the strain Rhodobacter sphaeroides obtained in Example 1. Rhodobacter sphaeroides ) HTP1 is activated and inoculated into liquid culture medium to obtain seed solution; The liquid culture medium is composed of: 2.00 g / L succinic acid, 0.50 g / L ammonium sulfate, 0.10 g / L L-glutamic acid, 0.04 g / L L-aspartic acid, 1.00 g / L sodium chloride, 20 mL / L phosphate buffer, 20 mL / L nutrient solution, and 1 mL / L vitamin solution.

[0048] Step 2: inoculate 10% of the seed solution into a fermentation medium and culture the culture medium until the strain reaches the logarithmic phase of growth, centrifuge, and resuspend to obtain a microbial agent that degrades 2,4-dichlorophenol and simultaneously ferments to produce hydrogen.

[0049] The fermentation medium is a liquid medium containing 100 mg / L of ferric oxide.

[0050] Example 3 The bacterial solution of Example 1 or the bacterial agent of Example 2 grown to the logarithmic phase was collected by centrifugation at 7500 rpm for 3 minutes, washed three times with fermentation medium, and then inoculated into a fermentation medium with an initial pH of 6-9 at an inoculum ratio of 5% to 30%. 2,4-Dichlorophenol was added to the fermentation medium, and fermentation was carried out at 25-40°C under anaerobic conditions and a light intensity range of 800-5000 lux for 0-96 hours.

[0051] The fermentation medium comprises the following components: 5.00-20.00 g / L of carbon source, 1.00 g / L of L-glutamic acid, 0.04 g / L of L-aspartic acid, 1.00 g / L of sodium chloride, 20 mL / L of phosphate buffer, 20 mL / L of nutrient solution, and 1 mL / L of vitamin solution. The components of the nutrient solution are: 10.00 g / L nitrotriacetic acid, 29.50 g / L magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, 3.34 g / L calcium chloride dihydrate, 0.10 g / L ferrous sulfate heptahydrate, 0.01 g / L ammonium molybdate tetrahydrate, and 25 mL / L trace element solution; the components of the trace element solution are: 11.00 g / L zinc sulfate heptahydrate, 2.77 g / L disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid dihydrate, 5.00 g / L ferrous sulfate heptahydrate, 0.11 g / L boric acid, 1.38 g / L manganese sulfate, 0.39 g / L copper sulfate pentahydrate, and 0.25 g / L cobalt nitrate hexahydrate; the components of the vitamin solution are: 0.50 g / L thiamine hydrochloride, 1.00 g / L nicotinic acid, and 0.01 g / L biotin.

[0052] A tolerance test was conducted on high-performance hydrogen-producing strains or bacterial agents, that is, 0, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1000 mg / L of 2,4-dichlorophenol was added to the fermentation medium, the OD value of the strain was monitored, and the supernatant was taken by centrifugation to measure the 2,4-dichlorophenol concentration in the culture medium.

[0053] The tolerance concentration of 2,4-dichlorophenol of the microbial agent combined with ferric oxide to degrade 2,4-dichlorophenol and simultaneously produce hydrogen by fermentation is 1.5 times that of Rhodobacter sphaeroides HTP1, which is 750 mg / L. Figure 6 In the fermentation broth containing 200 mg / L of 2,4-dichlorophenol, the detectable biooptical density value of the microbial agent that degrades 2,4-dichlorophenol and produces hydrogen simultaneously is always higher than that of Rhodobacter sphaeroides HTP1, confirming that the adsorption-advanced oxidation performance of ferric oxide for 2,4-dichlorophenol is beneficial to reducing the pollutant concentration in the fermentation system and providing more metabolizable substances for biomass accumulation.

[0054] The photocatalytic hydrogen production performance of ferric oxide itself was not detected under the corresponding light source and culture medium conditions ( Figure 7At the same dosage as the inoculant, it removed 0.4% of 200 mg / L 2,4-dichlorophenol within 96 hours. With the addition of Rhodobacter sphaeroides, the synergistic effect of the two increased the removal efficiency to 86.8%. Furthermore, because hematite enhances the light response of the fermentation system and photogenerated electron transfer, namely, the maintenance of Rhodobacter sphaeroides enzyme activity, the fermentation hydrogen production properties were also improved. In an environment without 2,4-dichlorophenol, the cumulative hydrogen production reached 2822 mL / L, 1.1 times that of Rhodobacter sphaeroides HTP1 alone. In an environment with 200 mg / L 2,4-dichlorophenol, the cumulative hydrogen production reached 1546 mL / L, only 1.6 times that of Rhodobacter sphaeroides HTP1.

[0055] Comparative Example: Use an inoculating loop to pick Rhodobacter phaeroides ATCC49419 purchased from the Shanghai Collection of Microorganisms (SHBCC) and streak onto a solid plate containing screening medium. Incubate at 25-40°C for 12-48 hours. Repeat this streak three times on the screening medium to obtain a single colony. Inoculate the single colony onto the screening medium and incubate at 25-40°C until the strain reaches the logarithmic phase of growth. A strain in the logarithmic phase of growth is inoculated at a 10% inoculum ratio into a fermentation medium with an initial pH of 7.0 and 10 g / L glucose as the carbon source. Incubate at 30°C under 5000 lux illumination.

[0056] See attached Figure 8 The control strain was able to produce hydrogen via glucose photofermentation, with a cumulative hydrogen production of 708 mL / L over 96 hours, only 28.3% of that of HTP1. However, when exposed to 200 mg / L 2,4-dichlorophenol, the control strain died in the 2,4-dichlorophenol solution, demonstrating no phenol degradation or hydrogen production. Therefore, R. sphaeroides HTP1 exhibited significantly higher hydrogen production and 2,4-dichlorophenol tolerance than the control strain.
