Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of microbial agents, and in particular relates to a composite microbial agent and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] China's saline-alkali land covers approximately 170 million hectares, accounting for over one-sixth of its total land area. Saline-alkali land refers to soil containing excessive amounts of salt and alkaline substances, making it unsuitable for plant growth. Its formation is primarily due to a variety of environmental factors, including drought, water shortages, and poor drainage. Furthermore, excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides is also a significant contributor to its development. The formation of saline-alkali land has severely impacted agricultural production and ecological improvements. Currently, the main methods for improving saline-alkali land are physical, hydraulic, and chemical methods. Physical methods require land leveling, deep plowing, and sun-drying, which require significant manpower and resources. Hydraulic methods require large amounts of water flushing, which is inconsistent with national water conservation standards. Chemical methods, which apply large amounts of amendments such as gypsum and black tar to reduce or directly eliminate soil alkalinity, can easily lead to new problems such as soil pollution. While these three methods can improve saline-alkali land, they lack long-term and effective results. In recent years, with the continuous development of microbial technology, its application in saline-alkali land remediation has gradually demonstrated its unique advantages.

[0003] Microbial agents are an important means of treating saline-alkali land. These agents usually contain a variety of beneficial microorganisms that can work synergistically to improve the soil environment. By applying the corresponding composite microbial agents, not only can the number of microorganisms in the soil be increased, but the decomposition of soil organic matter and the formation of aggregate structures can also be promoted, thereby breaking up soil compaction, regulating and improving the soil's water retention, fertilizer retention, and air permeability, making it more suitable for crop growth. At the same time, inorganic salts are nutrients required for microbial growth and can effectively consume the salt rich in saline-alkali land. Some microorganisms have acid-producing properties to regulate soil pH. However, the current preparation cost of microbial fertilizers is high, the microorganisms have a short shelf life, the strains are of poor quality, and the stability is poor, which has not played a corresponding role in improving saline-alkali land.

[0004] Clostridium butyricum boasts a long logarithmic phase, early acid production, high acid production, high conidia conversion rate, high enzyme activity, strong antibacterial properties, acid and alkali resistance, bile salt tolerance, high temperature resistance, and high stability. As the "King of Probiotics," it combines the advantages of other probiotics and is the preferred choice for solving saline-alkali soil problems. Currently, most C. butyricum fermentations are produced using liquid submerged fermentation. Typical C. butyricum preparations undergo liquid fermentation and are then centrifuged, freeze-dried, or spray-dried to produce bacterial powder. However, the centrifugation used in the preparation process does not remove all bacteria and their metabolites, and some bacteria remain in the centrifuge. Acetic acid, butyric acid, amylase, vitamin K, and B vitamins produced during fermentation, as well as unused culture medium components, also remain in the centrifuge. Direct discharge of the centrifuge not only pollutes water bodies but also results in significant waste. Therefore, effective utilization of the C. butyricum fermentation centrifuge is crucial. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The use of Clostridium butyricum fermentation centrifuge to prepare bacterial fertilizer can improve the quality of bacterial fertilizer and reduce costs. In view of this, the present invention aims to provide an application of a composite microbial agent in bacterial fertilizer, which utilizes Clostridium butyricum fermentation centrifuge with Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis, and lactic acid bacteria for mixed fermentation. By selecting the Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis, and lactic acid bacteria varieties and supplementing them with nutrients, the live bacteria of Clostridium butyricum, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis, and lactic acid bacteria are of high quality and strong stability, and the cost is low and the preparation method is simple, effectively improving saline-alkali land.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a composite microbial agent, the specific method being:

[0008] Take 30-70L, the viable bacteria count is 1.0×10 6 ~5.0×10 8 CFU / mL of Clostridium butyricum fermentation centrifuge was added to the fermenter. After adding nitrogen source, carbon source and inorganic salt to the fermenter, 1-4 L of the fermenter with a viable bacterial count of 1.0×10 9 ~1.0×10 10 CFU / mL of Bacillus subtilis liquid, 1-4L, viable bacteria count 1.0×10 9 ~1.0×10 10 CFU / mL of Bacillus licheniformis solution was stirred at 100-300 rpm at 35-40 °C for 15-20 h, and then 1-4 L of 2.0×10 9 ~3.0×10 9CFU / mL of lactic acid bacteria liquid is stirred and fermented at 35-40°C at a speed of 100-300 rpm, and the pH is detected after 20-24 hours of fermentation. When the pH value drops to 4.3-4.5, the composite microbial agent is obtained.

[0009] Furthermore, the Clostridium butyricum fermentation centrifuge is obtained by fermenting Clostridium butyricum at 30-40° C., a rotation speed of 100-150 r / min, and anaerobic conditions for 5-15 hours, and then centrifuging at a rotation speed of 6000-7000 r / min.

[0010] Furthermore, the number of viable Clostridium butyricum in the Clostridium butyricum fermentation centrifuge was 3.6×10 7 CFU / mL, the number of viable Bacillus subtilis in the Bacillus subtilis liquid is 1.0×10 10 CFU / mL, the number of viable Bacillus licheniformis in the Bacillus licheniformis bacterial solution is 1.0×10 10 CFU / mL.

[0011] Furthermore, the lactic acid bacteria liquid consists of Lactobacillus acidophilus, Enterococcus faecalis and Lactobacillus casei.

[0012] Furthermore, the viable count of Lactobacillus acidophilus is 1.0×10 9 ~1.0×10 10 CFU / mL, the viable count of Enterococcus faecalis was 7.0×10 8 ~7.0×10 9 CFU / mL, the viable count of Lactobacillus casei is 1.0×10 9 ~1.0×10 10 CFU / mL.

[0013] Furthermore, the nitrogen source is added in an amount of 0.5-2.0% by mass of the Clostridium butyricum fermentation centrifuge, the carbon source is added in an amount of 3.0-7.0% by mass of the Clostridium butyricum fermentation centrifuge, and the inorganic salt is added in an amount of 0.44-1.32% by mass of the Clostridium butyricum fermentation centrifuge.

[0014] Furthermore, the nitrogen source is one or two of corn steep liquor, peptone, yeast extract, beef powder, beef extract, and peptide powder.

[0015] Furthermore, the carbohydrate carbon source is a mixture of glucose and molasses; the amount of glucose added is 2.0% to 3.5% of the mass of the Clostridium butyricum fermentation centrifuge; and the amount of molasses added is 1.0% to 3.5% of the mass of the Clostridium butyricum fermentation centrifuge.

[0016] Furthermore, the inorganic salts are MgSO4, MnSO4, K2HPO4 and sodium acetate, wherein the mass fractions of MgSO4, MnSO4, K2HPO4 and sodium acetate in the Clostridium butyricum fermentation centrifuge are: 0.025% to 0.075% MgSO4, 0.015% to 0.045% MnSO4, 0.1% to 0.3% K2HPO4, and 0.3% to 0.9% sodium acetate.

[0017] Furthermore, the content of Bacillus subtilis in the composite microbial agent is greater than or equal to 1.0×10 8 CFU / mL, Bacillus licheniformis content is greater than or equal to 1.0×10 8 CFU / mL, lactic acid bacteria content is greater than or equal to 2.5×10 8 CFU / mL, Clostridium butyricum content is greater than or equal to 1.0×10 6 CFU / mL.

[0018] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a microbial agent, which is prepared by the preparation method.

[0019] In a third aspect, the present invention further provides a microbial fertilizer comprising the microbial agent.

[0020] Furthermore, the bacterial fertilizer is in liquid form.

[0021] In a fourth aspect, the present invention also provides the use of the microbial agent or the microbial fertilizer in improving saline-alkali soil.

[0022] In a fifth aspect, the present invention also provides the use of the microbial agent or the microbial fertilizer in improving the germination rate of crops.

[0023] The composite microbial agent of the present invention is mainly obtained by fermenting Clostridium butyricum fermentation centrifuge with Bacillus subtilis strain, Bacillus licheniformis strain, lactic acid bacteria strain and carbohydrate carbon source. The growth of Clostridium butyricum and lactic acid bacteria reduces the pH value of the centrifuge, making the centrifuge convenient for storage, while also enriching the types of probiotics and metabolites. The obtained agricultural microbial fertilizer contains Clostridium butyricum, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis and lactic acid bacteria and their metabolites at the same time. Its application effect is the result of the combined action of Clostridium butyricum, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis, lactic acid bacteria and their metabolites. By inoculating Clostridium butyricum centrifuge with Bacillus subtilis species, Bacillus licheniformis species and lactic acid bacteria species, the effect of fermenting Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis and lactic acid bacteria using Clostridium butyricum centrifuge is achieved. While harmlessly treating the Clostridium butyricum fermentation centrifuge, a Clostridium butyricum microbial fertilizer containing a large amount of live Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis and lactic acid bacteria was produced, which can be used to improve saline-alkali land. This effectively solves the problem of the Clostridium butyricum centrifuge being difficult to treat as sewage, and solves the technical problem of recycling residual bacteria and nutrient-rich substances in the Clostridium butyricum centrifuge.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] (1) The present invention uses Clostridium butyricum fermentation centrifuge liquid and lactic acid bacteria to ferment together, which not only effectively utilizes the Clostridium butyricum fermentation centrifuge liquid but also allows the fermentation liquid to be stored for a long time due to the pH adjustment effect of lactic acid bacteria.

[0026] (2) The composite microbial agent obtained by the present invention has a lot of nutrients, which can not only ensure the activity of beneficial bacteria, but also increase soil fertility, and enhance the colonization ability of Clostridium butyricum, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis and lactic acid bacteria on plant roots.

[0027] (3) The composite microbial agent of the present invention contains a large number of highly active Clostridium butyricum, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis and lactic acid bacteria. The growth and reproduction of the four effectively consumes the salt in the saline-alkali land. Clostridium butyricum and lactic acid bacteria have a synergistic effect when used as fertilizers. Organic acids such as butyric acid, acetic acid and lactic acid effectively improve the pH environment of the saline-alkali land. Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis can use the humus in the soil to reproduce in large quantities and decompose the organic matter in the soil. They can not only increase the effective nutrients in the soil and improve the soil structure, but also prevent the soil from becoming compacted. During the reproduction process, they can produce active substances such as subtilisin, polymyxin, nystatin and gramicidin. These active substances can cause the mycelium of pathogens to break, disintegrate or digest the cytoplasm, thereby killing the pathogens and effectively preventing the harm of pathogens to crops. They can also produce a variety of hormone substances and various vitamins, which can not only increase the nutrient content of the soil, but also promote crop growth, increase yield and improve the quality of agricultural products.
