Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biological and environmental protection technology, and more specifically to a phosphate-dissolving bacterium and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Artificial wetlands rely on the synergistic effects of physics, chemistry and biology to enhance the decontamination capacity of natural wetland ecosystems. They have the advantages of low investment, low energy consumption, convenient maintenance and management, and outstanding ecological service functions. They are widely used in domestic sewage, industrial wastewater, surface runoff and watershed water ecological restoration, and have achieved good results. The removal of phosphorus in wetlands mainly relies on adsorption, precipitation, microbial assimilation and plant absorption. Among them, substrate adsorption and precipitation are the main ways to remove phosphorus, accounting for 36.2~87.5%. However, after long-term operation, the adsorption of phosphorus by the substrate gradually tends to saturation, and the accumulation of phosphorus in the wetland is serious, which has a serious impact on the normal operation of the wetland and the removal of pollutants. According to a survey by the US Environmental Protection Agency, about 50% of subsurface artificial wetlands lose their normal functions within 5 years and need to replace the substrate. However, substrate replacement will greatly increase the operating cost and destroy the constructed artificial wetland system. In addition, the treatment and disposal of adsorption saturated substrates may become a new environmental problem. Therefore, substrate phosphorus adsorption saturation has limited the promotion and application of artificial wetlands to a certain extent.

[0003] In summary, activation of phosphorus-saturated substrates as a sustainable treatment method can reduce the material consumption and acquisition costs of periodic substrate replacement. Alternating wet and dry is a more studied activation method with certain short-term effects. However, air drying can only expose small cracks in the organic film material on the surface of the substrate, thereby obtaining limited potential new adsorption sites, and the average removal rate of phosphorus by the substrate is still low. Analysis of phosphorus migration and transformation pathways in wetlands shows that plant harvesting is an effective way to remove and recover phosphorus from wetlands. However, plants cannot directly utilize adsorbed phosphorus in the substrate.

[0004] Microbial agents can mineralize organic phosphorus and dissolve inorganic phosphorus minerals. Inoculating highly efficient phosphate-dissolving bacteria in the phosphorus-saturated matrix of artificial wetlands can convert the insoluble phosphorus adsorbed in the phosphorus-saturated matrix into plant-usable phosphorus through the action of phosphate-dissolving bacteria, thus promoting plant growth. Through effective harvesting, phosphorus can be recovered from the matrix to achieve activation of the phosphorus-saturated matrix, i.e., in-situ regeneration of the phosphorus-saturated matrix. Summary of the invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a phosphate-dissolving bacterium and its application to solve the above problems.

[0014] The phosphate-solubilizing bacteria WZU-DH of the present invention, namely Bacillus microplus ( Curtobacterium pusillum) WZU-DH was isolated from the long-term experimental artificial wetland of Wenzhou University. The isolation process was as follows: 10g artificial wetland matrix sample was placed in a 250mL conical flask, 90mL sterile water was added, and the suspension was oscillated to make a gradient bacterial suspension. 0.2mL of the gradient bacterial suspension was applied to the PVK plate medium, and each gradient was repeated 4 times at 30°C for 4 days.

The seed liquid was streaked on LB solid medium. A single colony was picked with a sterilized toothpick and inoculated on a PVK plate medium. The colony was cultured at 30°C for 4 days, and the diameter of the phosphate dissolution zone (D) and colony diameter (d) were measured. The ratio of the phosphate dissolution zone to the colony diameter (D / d) was calculated. Repeat 3 times.

[0021] Through preliminary screening, four phosphate-solubilizing strains were isolated from the artificial zeolite matrix sample and named WZU-DH, WZU-FL, WZU-F and WZU-H. Among them, the D / d value of the WZU-DH strain was the largest, which was 1.81, and the D / d values ​​of the other strains were between 1.29 and 1.50 (see Table 1 for details).

[0022] Table 1 Results of initial screening of phosphate-dissolving bacteria plates

[0023] (3) Rescreening of strains: The WZU-DH, WZU-FL, WZU-F and WZU-H strains obtained above were inoculated into sterilized LB liquid medium for enrichment culture, respectively, until the bacterial content of the bacterial suspension reached 10 7 Take a 250mL conical flask, add 100mL NBRIP liquid medium, inoculate 1mL bacterial suspension (1×10 7 CFU / mL), 30℃, 160r / min, cultured for 4 days, and inoculated with an equal volume of sterile water as control (CK). Each treatment was repeated 4 times. The soluble phosphorus concentration in the culture medium was determined by molybdenum antimony spectrophotometry (see Table 2 for details).

[0024] Table 2 Soluble phosphorus concentration of phosphate-solubilizing bacteria

[0025] As can be seen from Table 2, compared with the control, the soluble phosphorus concentrations in the supernatants of the WZU-DH, WZU-FL, WZU-F, and WZU-H strains were 6.85, 0.81, 1.26, and 1.08 mg / L higher, respectively.

[0030] 2. Strain identification: (1) Morphological identification: The phosphate-dissolving strain WZU-DH was inoculated into LB solid medium and cultured at 30°C for 2 days. The colony morphology was observed and recorded: the colonies were small, with a raised center, round, opaque, yellow, smooth surface, not easy to be picked up, and had a bad smell (see attached figure for details). Figure 1 ).

[0031] A single colony was picked out from LB solid medium and inoculated into LB liquid medium, cultured at 160 r / min and 30°C for 12 h, and Gram staining was performed. The morphological characteristics of the bacteria were observed using an optical microscope (OLympus BH-2, Japan). The strain was Gram-positive.

Take 1 mL of bacterial solution, add it to a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube, centrifuge it at room temperature at 8000r / min for 1 minute, discard the supernatant, and collect the bacteria. The Ezup column bacterial genomic DNA extraction kit (Shenggong, SK8255) was used for extraction and purification according to the instructions. The genomic DNA of the purified phosphate-solubilizing strain WZU-DH was extracted and amplified using the bacterial 16S rDNA universal primer 27F / 1492R (Shenggong, Synthesis Department) to establish a PCR amplification system. PCR amplification conditions: 95℃ pre-denaturation for 10 minutes, 94℃ denaturation for 30 seconds, 57℃ annealing for 30 seconds, 72℃ extension for 90 seconds, denaturation, annealing and extension for 30 cycles, and 72℃ extension for 10 minutes before the reaction was terminated. The PCR amplification product was detected by 1% agarose electrophoresis and sequenced by a bioengineering company after purification. The DNA sequence obtained by sequencing was input into NBCI and compared with all sequences in the NBCI database using the Blast program. The results showed that it was identical to Bacillus minimus ( Curtobacterium pusillum ) with a similarity of 99.5%.

The experiment was repeated 3 times, and the sterile NBRIP liquid culture medium without inoculation of strains was used as a control. The soluble phosphorus concentration in the culture medium was determined by the molybdenum antimony anti-spectrophotometric method.

[0034] (1) Phosphate solubilization ability of WZU-DH: The soluble phosphorus concentration in the culture medium increased first and then decreased over time. On the 14th day, the soluble phosphorus concentration in the culture medium increased to 15.18 mg / L, and then gradually decreased. On the 16th day, it dropped to 14.99 mg / L (see Table 3 and attached figure for details). Figure 2a ).

Take 1mL of the above bacterial suspension and inoculate it into 100mL of NBRIP liquid culture medium respectively. Culture it at 5℃, 10℃, 20℃, 30℃, and 40℃ at 160r / min for 8 days. Take samples and measure the soluble phosphorus concentration in the culture medium. Each group of experiments was repeated 3 times, and the sterile NBRIP liquid culture medium without inoculation of strains was used as the control group. The results showed that when cultured at 30℃, the strain had the highest phosphorus solubility of 11.55mg / L, followed by 20℃, with a phosphorus solubility of 5.39mg / L. Under the conditions of 5℃, 10℃, and 40℃, the phosphorus solubility of the strain was significantly lower than that of the other two groups, at 1.33-1.73mg / L (see Table 4 and attached figure for details).

[0040] (4) Effect of nitrogen source on the phosphorus solubilization ability of the phosphorus-dissolving strain WZU-DH: Using ammonium sulfate, potassium nitrate, ammonium nitrate, and peptone as nitrogen sources, 1 mL of the above bacterial suspension was taken and inoculated into 100 mL of NBRIP liquid culture medium with different nitrogen sources. The culture was carried out at 30°C and 160 r / min for 8 days, and samples were taken to measure the soluble phosphorus concentration in the culture medium. Each group of experiments was repeated 3 times, and the sterile NBRIP liquid culture medium with different nitrogen sources corresponding to the strain that was not inoculated was used as the control group. The results showed that when ammonium sulfate was the only nitrogen source, the phosphorus solubilization amount of the phosphorus-dissolving strain WZU-DH was the highest at 11.55 mg / L, followed by potassium nitrate (6.31 mg / L). When peptone and ammonium nitrate were the only nitrogen sources, the phosphorus solubilization ability of the strain was poor (see Table 6 and attached figure for details). Figure 2d ).
