Abstract

The present invention relates to the field of microbial engineering technology, and specifically discloses a composite microbial agent for controlling cyanobacterial blooms. The Bacillus velezinoff provided by the present invention destroys algal cells and inhibits the activity of related biological enzymes by secreting heterocyclic algaecidal active substances, while causing the leakage of cell contents (such as algal toxins, polysaccharides, and lipids); the extracellular enzyme system (such as alkaline phosphatase and β-glucosidase) of Sphingomonas decomposes free algal toxins into low-toxic linear peptide segments, while hydrolyzing the β-1,4-glycosidic bonds in EPS, converting algal organic fragments into small-molecule soluble substances, and providing substrates for subsequent metabolism of Rhodococcus; the lipase and esterase secreted by Rhodococcus can hydrolyze triglycerides and wax components, and convert fatty acids into energy and biosurfactants through a β-oxidation pathway, thereby enhancing the hydrophilicity of algal fragments and promoting overall degradation efficiency.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of microbial engineering, and in particular to a composite microbial agent for controlling cyanobacteria blooms. Background Art

[0002] Eutrophication is a common environmental pollution problem characterized by excessive concentrations of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus in water, which triggers the proliferation of algae. The harm caused by algae is mainly manifested in several aspects: large-scale coverage of algae will form a thick green or brown "algae blanket" on the water surface, which will hinder the contact between air and water, causing water quality corruption, resulting in a sharp drop in dissolved oxygen content in the water, and causing fish and other aquatic organisms to suffocate and die from lack of oxygen. Many blue-green algae can produce algal toxins, which are highly toxic and can be transmitted through the food chain, ultimately posing a serious threat to human health. In addition, excessive algae growth can also affect key environmental indicators such as water transparency and dissolved oxygen, leading to a continuous deterioration of water quality, which in turn affects the rational use of water resources and brings many inconveniences and safety hazards to agricultural irrigation, industrial water use, and human water use.

[0003] Currently, the commonly used algae removal methods are physical, chemical and biological. The physical method has relatively limited processing capacity for large-scale algal blooms, and may cause certain disturbances to the water body during operation, affecting the ecological balance of the water body; the chemical algae removal method is quick to take effect, but chemical agents are prone to secondary pollution, which has an adverse impact on the ecosystem.

[0004] Microbial algae control technology is an emerging ecological restoration technology with the advantages of high efficiency, environmental safety, and pollution-free, and has broad application prospects. Summary of the Invention

[0009] In the technical solution disclosed in the present invention, the volume ratio of the Bacillus Velez-Neanderthalensis agent, the Sphingomonas agent and the Rhodococcus agent is 10-20:10-15:10-15.

[0010] In the technical solution disclosed in the present invention, the number of viable bacteria in the Bacillus Velezii inoculum is not less than 2.0×10 10 cfu / mL.

[0012] In the technical solution disclosed in the present invention, the number of viable bacteria in the Rhodococcus inoculum is not less than 1.0×10 9 cfu / mL.

[0013] In the technical solution disclosed in the present invention, the composite microbial agent also includes a carrier.

[0014] In the technical solution disclosed in the present invention, the carrier includes diatomaceous earth, bentonite, zeolite powder or hydrotalcite.

[0015] The present invention also provides application of the composite microbial agent in controlling cyanobacteria blooms.

[0016] In the technical solution disclosed in the present invention, a composite microbial agent is added to the cyanobacteria water body at a volume ratio of 1-5% of the bacteria-algae liquid.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] The Bacillus Velez subtilis, Sphingomonas subtilis and Rhodococcus subtilis provided by the present invention exert a synergistic algae control effect, achieving efficient cyanobacteria degradation through multi-level metabolic complementarity and functional coupling. The possible mechanism of action is that Bacillus Velez subtilis secretes heterocyclic algaecidal active substances, destroys algal cells and inhibits the activity of related biological enzymes, while causing the leakage of cell contents (such as algae toxins, polysaccharides, and lipids); the extracellular enzyme system of Sphingomonas (such as alkaline phosphatase and β-glucosidase) decomposes free algae toxins into low-toxic linear peptide segments. , while hydrolyzing the β-1,4-glycosidic bonds in EPS, converting algal organic fragments into small soluble molecules, providing substrates for the subsequent metabolism of Rhodococcus; the lipase and esterase secreted by Rhodococcus can hydrolyze triglycerides and wax components, and convert fatty acids into energy and biosurfactants through the β-oxidation pathway, enhancing the hydrophilicity of algal fragments to promote overall degradation efficiency; Sphingomonas further converts the oligosaccharides produced by Bacillus Velezii into organic acids, and Rhodococcus uses organic acids for deep oxidation to form a complete closed loop. In addition, the applicant unexpectedly discovered during the experiment that compared with Microcystis aeruginosa, the composite microbial agent provided by the present invention has a better algae-dissolving effect on Oscillatoria.
