Description

Technical Field

[0002] Tobacco, as a crop susceptible to continuous cropping problems, often exhibits continuous cropping obstacles, such as deterioration of soil physical and chemical properties, increased pests and diseases affecting tobacco leaves, and decreased yield and quality. Numerous studies have shown that tobacco continuous cropping obstacles are closely related to allelopathic autotoxicity. Allelopathic substances secreted by the plant's roots can affect the plant's growth by influencing cell membrane permeability, enzyme activity, ion absorption, water absorption, photosynthesis, and protein and DNA synthesis. Therefore, these allelopathic substances are also known as allelopathic autotoxic substances. Continuous cropping of tobacco leads to their accumulation in the field, resulting in poor crop growth, reduced yield, and decreased quality, which has become one of the major problems hindering the sustainable development of agriculture.

[0025] Tobacco, as a crop susceptible to continuous cropping problems, often exhibits continuous cropping obstacles, such as deterioration of soil physical and chemical properties, increased pests and diseases affecting tobacco leaves, and decreased yield and quality. Numerous studies have shown that tobacco continuous cropping obstacles are closely related to allelopathic autotoxicity. Allelopathic substances secreted by the plant's roots can affect the plant's growth by influencing cell membrane permeability, enzyme activity, ion absorption, water absorption, photosynthesis, and protein and DNA synthesis. Therefore, these allelopathic substances are also known as allelopathic autotoxic substances. Continuous cropping of tobacco leads to their accumulation in the field, resulting in poor crop growth, reduced yield, and decreased quality, which has become one of the major problems hindering the sustainable development of agriculture.

[0026] In view of this, the present invention proposes a method for degrading allelochemicals in tobacco-growing soil, which aims to effectively degrade allelochemicals in tobacco-growing soil.

[0027] To achieve the above objectives, this invention proposes a method for degrading allelochemicals in tobacco-growing soil, comprising the following steps:

[0028] Dye-loving bacteria were used to degrade tobacco-growing soil.

[0029] The technical solution provided by this invention proposes a method for degrading allelochemicals in tobacco-growing soil. Using the dyeophilic bacteria provided by this invention, 11 out of 13 allelochemicals in tobacco-growing soil can be degraded, including catechol, phthalic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, butanol, benzoic acid, 3-methoxy-4-hydroxybenzoic acid, p-hydroxybenzaldehyde, 3-methoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, diisobutyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate, and terephthalic acid. Under natural conditions, the above 11 substances can be degraded to a concentration of 0.5 mM within 2-6 days, achieving the degradation of allelochemicals in tobacco-growing soil and overcoming the obstacles of continuous tobacco cropping.

[0030] Thirteen allelochemicals in tobacco-growing soils include catechol, phthalic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, butanol, benzoic acid, 3-methoxy-4-hydroxybenzoic acid, p-hydroxybenzaldehyde, 3-methoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, diisobutyl phthalate, o-, p-di-tert-butylphenol, dibutyl phthalate, diisooctyl phthalate, and terephthalic acid. These allelochemicals are contributing factors to continuous tobacco cropping obstacles. This invention utilizes dyeophilic bacteria to degrade allelochemicals in tobacco-growing soils, specifically degrading 11 of the thirteen allelochemicals. It is primarily applied to the treatment and comprehensive utilization of allelochemical accumulation in soils during continuous tobacco cropping, effectively addressing continuous tobacco cropping obstacles and promoting comprehensive application.

[0031] Specifically, the steps involving the degradation of tobacco-growing soil by dye-loving bacteria include:

[0032] S10. After inoculating the dye-loving bacteria onto the culture medium and culturing them into a bacterial solution, mix it with the tobacco-planting soil to obtain a mixture;

[0033] S20. Add an inorganic salt solution to the mixture and carry out degradation under aerobic conditions. When dyeophilic bacteria are used in tobacco-growing soil, the inorganic salt solution provides nutrients for the bacteria, leading to more efficient degradation of allelochemicals.

[0034] The technical solution provided by this invention proposes a method for degrading allelochemicals in tobacco-growing soil. Using the dyeophilic bacteria provided by this invention, 11 out of 13 allelochemicals in tobacco-growing soil can be degraded, including catechol, phthalic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, butanol, benzoic acid, 3-methoxy-4-hydroxybenzoic acid, p-hydroxybenzaldehyde, 3-methoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, diisobutyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate, and terephthalic acid. Under natural conditions, the above 11 substances can be degraded to a concentration of 0.5 mM within 2-6 days, achieving the degradation of allelochemicals in tobacco-growing soil and overcoming the obstacles of continuous tobacco cropping.

[0035] Preferably, step S10 includes:

[0036] S11. Inoculate the dye-loving bacteria onto the culture medium and culture them into a bacterial suspension;

[0037] S12. After drying the bacterial solution into powder, mix it with tobacco-growing soil to obtain a mixture. Mixing the dye-loving bacteria as powder with tobacco-growing soil makes the process easier.

[0038] Preferably, in step S10,

[0039] The culture medium mentioned includes LB medium, which is the name of a culture medium commonly used in biochemical molecular experiments to pre-culture bacterial strains, allowing the strains to multiply and reach the required levels for use. It can be divided into liquid and solid media. LB is generally interpreted as Luria-Bertani medium; however, according to its inventor, Giuseppe Bertani, the name comes from the English term "lysogeny broth." The formulation of LB medium is as follows: Tryptone 10 g / L, Yeast extract 5 g / L, and Sodium chloride (NaCl) 10 g / L. Using this medium allows for more efficient degradation of allelochemicals in the soil.

[0040] The dyeophilic bacteria include dyeophiles ( Pigmentiphaga sp. CHJ04. This strain has been deposited at the China Center for Type Culture Collection (CCTCC), accession number: CCTCC NO: M 2023329. Deposit date: March 15, 2023. This chromophilic bacterium ( Pigmentiphaga sp. CHJ04 is filtered using the following method:

[0041] Sludge samples collected from Machiqiao, Wuhan City, were thoroughly mixed. Two mL of the sludge sample was added to a liquid inorganic salt culture medium containing 2 mM isophthalic acid and 0.5 M (NH4)2SO4. The medium was incubated at 28°C on a shaker at 200 rpm, with three replicates. After 10 days of incubation, the sample was allowed to stand for 30 minutes. Then, a 10% (v / v) inoculum was added to the same culture medium and incubated on a shaker at 200 rpm. After 7 days of incubation, the sample was allowed to stand for 30 minutes. Then, a 1% (v / v) inoculum was added to the same culture medium and incubated on a shaker at 200 rpm. This process was repeated three times to obtain a mixed microbial culture in which isophthalic acid-degrading bacteria were dominant. Further separation and purification experiments were then performed.

[0042] The enriched bacterial culture was streaked onto inorganic salt medium containing 2 mM isophthalic acid and incubated upside down at 28°C. After 24 h, different single colonies were picked and placed in 5 mL of liquid inorganic salt medium containing 2 mM isophthalic acid. The same concentration of (NH4)2SO4 was added, and the culture was incubated at 28°C with a shaker at 200 rpm. This streaking and single colony picking process was repeated three times to obtain morphologically consistent single colonies. The obtained single colonies were then used for further molecular biological identification of the strain.

[0043] Single colonies were picked and cultured in an inorganic salt medium (containing 2 mM isophthalic acid and (NH4)2SO4). The 16S rRNA sequence of the bacterial culture was amplified by PCR. The PCR product with a band of approximately 1500 bp was sent to a sequencing company for sequencing.

[0044] The sequence was analyzed and assembled using software and submitted to the NCBI database. BLAST alignment results showed that the sequence was consistent with... Pigmeutiphaga daegueusis The identity of strain K110 (GenBank: NR044082.1) was 99.65%, and it was named *Dystrophophila*. Pigmentiphaga sp. CHJ04. Hereinafter referred to as CHJ04, the CHJ04 selected in this application can more efficiently degrade allelochemicals in the soil.

[0045] Preferably, in step S10, the inoculation amount of the dyeophilic bacteria is 0.1% to 0.5%. The inoculation amount refers to the ratio of the volume of the seed liquid to the volume of the culture medium after inoculation, that is, the ratio of the volume of the dyeophilic bacteria to the volume of the culture medium after inoculation. In the embodiments of the present invention, the inoculation amount of the dyeophilic bacteria can be 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, etc., which can achieve efficient degradation of allelochemicals in the soil with low strain dosage.

[0046] Furthermore, specifically, in step S20, the inorganic salt solution comprises components of the following concentrations:

[0047] The following inorganic salts provide energy for the growth, reproduction, and degradation of allelochemicals in CHJO4, enabling efficient degradation of allelochemicals in the soil. These include Na2HPO4·12H2O (10.2~14.3 g / L), KH2PO4 (2~3 g / L), FeSO4·7H2O (0.2~0.3 mg / L), MnSO4·H2O (0.05~0.07 mg / L), MgSO4·7H2O (0.015~0.02 mg / L), CaCl2 (0.25~0.3 mg / L), CuSO4 (0.0125~0.2 mg / L), ZnSO4 (0.0125~0.2 mg / L), H3BO3 (0.0125~0.2 mg / L), and (NH4)2SO4 (2~3 mM).

[0048] The present invention does not limit the pH value of the inorganic salt solution. Preferably, in step S20, the pH value of the inorganic salt solution is 7.0 to 7.5, for example, it can be 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, etc. The above pH value is more conducive to the growth, reproduction and degradation of allelochemicals of CHJ04.

[0049] Preferably, in step S20, the inorganic salt solution further includes agar powder. This allows for the efficient degradation of allelochemicals in the soil.

[0050] The present invention does not limit the amount of agar powder added. Preferably, the mass of agar powder in each 100 mL of the inorganic salt solution is 1.5~2 g, for example, 1.5 g, 1.6 g, 1.7 g, 1.8 g, 1.9 g, 2 g, etc., so as to degrade allelochemicals in the soil more efficiently.

[0051] Preferably, in step S20, the degradation time is 2 to 6 days. Experiments show that by using the above method, the degradation time is 2 to 6 days, which can basically achieve the degradation of the allelochemicals in the above 11.
