Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of biological treatment of nitrogen and phosphorus in aquaculture wastewater, and in particular to a strain of Scenedesmus euryhaline and application thereof in degradation of nitrogen and phosphorus in aquaculture wastewater. Background Art

[0002] Nitrogen and phosphorus in marine aquaculture wastewater have always been environmental problems, posing potential risks to aquatic ecosystems and human health. High-density intensive aquaculture brings about excess feed, drugs, animal carcasses and feces, resulting in large amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus. Studies have shown that nitrogen and phosphorus levels exceeding certain standards can cause toxic effects on aquatic organisms and cause eutrophication of water bodies, polluting the natural environment. Microalgae-based removal technology has the advantages of low carbon, low cost, eco-friendly and sustainable, and is considered to be a promising alternative to traditional wastewater treatment. In recent years, the application potential of microalgae in removing nitrogen and phosphorus from aquaculture wastewater has received widespread attention. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies of the prior art and provide a strain of Scenedesmus euryhaline and its application in the degradation of nitrogen and phosphorus in aquaculture wastewater.

[0004] The object of the present invention is achieved through the following technical scheme: a strain of Scenedesmus sp. and its application in the degradation of nitrogen and phosphorus in aquaculture wastewater, which is based on the fact that Scenedesmus sp. after salinity adaptation has the effect of efficiently removing nitrogen and phosphorus from wide-salt aquaculture wastewater. The Scenedesmus sp. is deposited in the General Microbiological Center of China Microbiological Culture Collection Administration, with a deposit number of CGMCC No.46073 and a deposit date of August 12, 2024.

[0005] Furthermore, the Scenedesmus sp. is a unicellular microalgae isolated from a wastewater sample from a certain aquaculture wastewater discharge outlet in Chaohe, Rizhao City, Shandong Province.

[0006] Furthermore, the salinity adaptive domestication method is characterized in that BG11 culture medium configured with all seawater in a ratio of seawater to freshwater is set at 1:25, 1:20, 1:10, 1:2, respectively, and the separated Scenedesmus is cultured in sequence until Scenedesmus adapted to BG11 culture medium configured with different seawater and freshwater is obtained.

[0007] Furthermore, the above-mentioned salinity-adaptive domesticated Scenedesmus algae solution is added to aquaculture wastewater with different gradient salinities for cultivation to obtain nitrogen and phosphorus-free water.

[0008] Furthermore, the adaptively domesticated Scenedesmus algae solution is a single-cell microalgae solution cultured in a salinity culture medium to a logarithmic growth phase.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and effects:

[0010] The present invention discovers a strain of Scenedesmus sp. and its application in the degradation of nitrogen and phosphorus in aquaculture wastewater. The Scenedesmus sp. separated and screened by the present invention comes from aquaculture wastewater, can adapt well to the eurysalinity wastewater after salinity adaptability acclimation, has stable growth, and has application potential in removing nitrogen and phosphorus from marine aquaculture wastewater.
