Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of microorganisms, and particularly relates to a compound microbial inoculant for rice straw degradation and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the double-cropping rice planting area in South China, the treatment of straw produced after the harvesting of early rice is an urgent and key agricultural link. The unique "double rush" (harvesting early rice and transplanting late rice) farming time requirement must be completed in a very short time. The treatment of early rice straw directly affects the planting and yield stability of late rice. At present, mechanical crushing and returning to the field has become the most important and widely promoted straw treatment method in this region. This measure can quickly clean the field and return the organic matter and nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and silicon in the straw to the soil, which has long-term significance for maintaining and improving soil fertility.

[0003] However, the traditional straw returning mode faces severe challenges under the high-intensity farming system in South China. First, the interval between early rice and late rice is short, and the straw is slowly naturally decomposed in the soil, which competes with late rice seedlings for nitrogen, easily leading to yellowing and stunted seedlings. Second, the incompletely decomposed straw may produce harmful substances such as organic acids and hydrogen sulfide in the flooded environment, inhibiting root growth. In addition, if the crushing or plowing quality is not high, it will also affect the quality of transplanting and rice root growth. In order to reduce the adverse effects of incompletely decomposed straw, it is necessary to take measures to accelerate straw decomposition.

[0004] Applying microbial inoculants to promote decomposition is the most effective way to accelerate straw decomposition. Straw decomposition microorganisms can promote the rapid degradation and nutrient release of straw in a short time, thereby shortening the straw decomposition time and promoting the rapid biochemical decomposition and returning of straw to the field. Because polysaccharides and lignin in straw are cross-linked by ester bonds and ether bonds, the degradation and utilization of lignocellulose have high non-degradability, the accessibility of ligninase is poor, and the straw is difficult to degrade and utilize. Compared with single microorganisms, mixed microbial populations constructed by combining strains with high efficiency of degrading each component of straw often have more excellent degradation capacity. Exploring and developing microbial inoculants with high efficiency of degrading rice straw and shortening the degradation time are important measures to ensure the smooth progress of the "double rush" farming season and the stable yield of late rice in South China.

[0037] Example 2: Construction of complex microbial community

[0038] (1) Characterization of strain degradation function

[0039] A mineral salt solution ((NH4)2SO41.0 g / L, K2HPO41.0 g / L, MgSO4·7H4O 0.5 g / L, KCl 0.5 g / L, FeSO4·7H2O 0.01 g / L, solvent is water) was prepared, and 10.0 g / L sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (agar 15 g / L, pH 7.0) or xylan (agar 15 g / L, pH 7.0) was added as a sole carbon source to prepare a solid culture medium, respectively. Then, the bacterial cake was inoculated on the culture medium, and cultured at 30°C for 3 days. After washing the bacterial colonies on the culture dish with 75% alcohol, 10 mL of 1 mg / mL Congo red solution was added for staining for 30 min, and then discarded. Then, 10 mL of 1 mol / L NaCl solution was added for decolorization for 30 min, and then discarded. Whether a transparent ring was generated outside the colonies after decolorization was used to determine the cellulose or hemicellulose degradation ability of the strains.

[0040] The lignin degradation ability was characterized by laccase and lignin peroxidase activities. The bacterial cake was inoculated on a culture medium with 0.04% guaiacol or 1% alkali lignin as a substrate (other inorganic salt components of the culture medium were the same as above) and cultured at 30°C for 5 days. Whether a red-brown color was generated at the edge of the colonies in the guaiacol culture medium was used to determine the laccase activity of the strains, and the transparent ring around the colonies on the alkali lignin plate was used to determine the lignin peroxidase activity of the strains.

[0041] It was found that strain F35 had strong laccase activity, strain F28 had strong lignin peroxidase activity, strain Y10F15 had strong cellulose degradation activity, and strain Y25F5 had strong hemicellulose degradation activity. In addition, strain F35 also had lignin peroxidase and hemicellulose degradation activities, and weak cellulose degradation activity; strain F28 also had hemicellulose degradation activity, and weak laccase and cellulose degradation activities; and strain Y25F5 also had cellulose degradation activity (Table 1). In summary, the construction of a complex bacterial population with the four strains is expected to achieve high-efficiency degradation activity on different components of rice straw.

[0042] Table 1. Activity characterization of strains in degrading different components of straw

[0043] +, active; -, inactive; w, weak activity; ++, strong activity

[0044] (2) Strain affinity test

[0045] The strains were inoculated in PDA solid medium (fungi-fungi), LB solid medium (bacteria-bacteria) or PDA solid medium added with 1% trypsin peptone (fungi-bacteria) to test the affinity between the members of the pseudo-complex microbial community. It was found that any two of the strains F35, F28, Y10F15 and Y25F5 could grow together without obvious growth inhibition between the colonies. Therefore, it was determined that it was feasible to construct a complex microbial community with the four strains.

[0046] (3) Construction of complex microbial community

[0047] The preparation method of the rice straw degradation complex microbial agent is as follows: the endoconidiogenous fungus F35 and the conidiogenous fungus F28 are inoculated in PDA liquid medium and cultured at 28°C with 200 rpm shaking for 72 h; the streptomycete Y10F15 and the streptomycete Y25F5 are inoculated in LB liquid medium and cultured at 30°C with 200 rpm shaking for 60 h; and the cultured bacterial liquid is mixed in equal volume to form the complex microbial agent.

[0048] Example 3: Application of complex microbial agent in rice straw degradation

[0049] The rice straw is washed with water for 2-3 times to remove the surface impurities and dust, and is cut into small pieces of 1-2 cm and dried at 85°C. The inorganic salt solution is prepared according to the formula of Example 2, and the preparation solution is prepared at 2 g of dried rice straw per 100 mL of inorganic salt solution, and then the complex microbial agent or the bacterial liquid of single strain prepared in Example 2 is inoculated in the preparation solution at 2.5% (v / v). The samples are taken at the 15th day and the 18th day after inoculation. The preparation solution without inoculation is set as a control. The rice straw residues are collected by gauze filtration, and the straw residues are dried at 85°C until constant weight. The straw degradation efficiency at each sampling period is calculated by the following formula: degradation efficiency = [(control group straw weight - treatment group straw weight) / control group straw weight] x 100%. The results show that the straw without inoculation of the microbial agent is almost not decomposed, and the degradation efficiency is almost 0; the inoculation of the complex microbial agent promotes the degradation of the rice straw, and the degradation rates after 15 days and 18 days of inoculation are 48.72% and 54.18%, respectively, and the straw degradation rates of each strain in the complex microbial agent when inoculated alone are lower than those of the complex microbial agent. Figure 5 Therefore, the complex microbial agent provided by the present application can accelerate the decomposition of the straw after the early rice harvest in the South China region, so as to avoid the influence of the straw on the late rice planting.

[0050] The above merely describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and it should be pointed out that the above preferred embodiments should not be regarded as a limitation to the present application, and the protection scope of the present application should be defined by the scope of the claims. For those skilled in the art, several improvements and refinements can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present application.
