Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of bioremediation agents for environmental remediation, and further to a bioremediation agent containing Rhodococcus and its application. Background Technology
[0002] The environmental pollution caused by synthetic products resulting from the rapid development of chemical synthesis in the last century has become one of the most pressing global problems. This includes the discharge and leakage of industrial wastewater during industrial synthesis processes. Cyanide, containing the cyanide group (CN), is a highly toxic substance. The national standard for total cyanide compounds (GB 8978-1996) stipulates a discharge standard of 0.300 mg / L. Cyanide and COD generated during waste discharge can diffuse and accumulate in large quantities in soil and groundwater. Therefore, developing an environmentally friendly and efficient bioremediation agent is essential.
[0003] Common chemical degradation agents include water-soluble polymers, ozone, and activated carbon. However, most chemical degradation agents do not fundamentally remove pollutants when degrading cyanide and are prone to causing secondary pollution. While there are fewer reports on bioremediation agents, among various environmental remediation methods, bioremediation is undoubtedly a low-cost, side-effect-free, and effective approach. Rhodococcus bacteria are mostly screened from contaminated soil or water bodies, thus enabling the degradation of pollutants. In addition, Rhodococcus bacteria have many advantages, such as adaptability to various extreme environments, not being limited by oxygen and nutrient deficiencies, and most importantly, genetically modified Rhodococcus bacteria can efficiently express multiple enzyme systems, such as hydratases and hydrolases. Rhodococcus bacteria contain hydrophobic surfaces that allow for sufficient contact with organic matter, improving the degradation efficiency of cyanide-containing compounds.
[0004] However, existing biodegradation methods can only degrade cyanide at low concentrations in wastewater, and there is no precedent for using Rhodococcus bacteria for the remediation of cyanide-containing environments. Summary of the Invention

[0080] In this application, when describing the mass ratio of Rhodococcus ferment broth to stabilizer, it is generally assumed that the OD600 of the Rhodococcus ferment broth is higher than 0.2, for example, the OD600 of the Rhodococcus ferment broth is in the range of 0.25-1.5. Specifically, the OD600 of the Rhodococcus ferment broth can be, for example, 0.25-0.35, 0.3-0.55, 0.45-0.65, 0.6-0.85, 0.7-0.95, 0.9-1.25, 1.18-1.3, or 1.25-1.45; furthermore, the OD600 of the Rhodococcus ferment broth is in the range of 0.6-1.3. Of course, those skilled in the art can fully understand that conversion can be made based on experience, or the OD600 of the Rhodococcus ferment broth can be controlled to the above range by dilution or concentration before mixing.
[0081] This application involves recombinantly constructing *Rhodococcus* to more efficiently express its cyanide metabolism-related enzyme systems, thereby obtaining a recombinant *Rhodococcus* strain with high hydrolytic efficiency against multiple cyanides. The bioremediation agent prepared using this *Rhodococcus* fermentation broth and stabilizer as the main raw materials further significantly improves the efficiency of hydrolytic degradation against multiple cyanides. When the *Rhodococcus* fermentation broth and stabilizer (e.g., glutaraldehyde) are mixed at a mass ratio of 1:9, the cyanide degradation rate is only 70%. However, when the *Rhodococcus* fermentation broth and stabilizer are mixed at a mass ratio of 4:6, the cyanide degradation rate is at least 99%, even reaching 100%, an increase of at least 29%. When the *Rhodococcus* fermentation broth and glycerol are mixed at a mass ratio of 1:9, the cyanide degradation rate is only 40%. However, when the *Rhodococcus* fermentation broth and glycerol are mixed at a mass ratio of 4:6, the cyanide degradation rate is at least 79%, even reaching 82% or higher, an increase of at least 39%.

However, when the Rhodococcus ferment broth and polyethylene glycol 4000 are mixed at a mass ratio of 4:6, the cyanide degradation rate is at least 59%, and even reaches 63% or higher, representing an increase of at least 22%. Therefore, the bioremediation agent of this application achieves its significantly superior cyanide degradation effect through the combined action of engineered Rhodococcus and stabilizers.

[0113] Example 2: Rhodococcus fermentation culture
[0114] The fermentation culture method for Rhodococcus is as follows:
[0115] (1) Use a 10 μL inoculation loop to pick the correct colony from the streak plate and place it into 15 mL of liquid seed culture medium. Incubate at 30 °C and 200 rpm for 3 days in a shaking incubator.
[0116] (2) Measure the absorbance value OD600 of the seed liquid, calculate the inoculation volume according to the initial OD600 = 1, and the inoculation volume shall not exceed 10% of the fermentation medium. Inoculate into the fermentation medium containing antibiotics, and culture in a shaking incubator at 30℃ and 200rpm for 2 days. Then collect the original fermentation broth of Rhodococcus (i.e., recombinant Rhodococcus fermentation broth or non-recombinant Rhodococcus fermentation broth; OD600 is about 0.2-1.6).
[0117] Example 3. Degradation Activity Verification
[0118] This experiment primarily investigates and verifies the expression of hydrolytic and hydratase activities in the successfully transformed engineered Rhodococcus 2. The specific experimental steps are as follows.
[0119] Engineered Rhodococcus 2 (obtained by fermentation culture using the method in Example 2; OD600 1.2) was mixed with 50 mg / L different cyanide solutions (sodium cyanide, potassium cyanide, and acrylonitrile) at a mass ratio of 1:20 in Erlenmeyer flasks, and the mixtures were reacted for 3 days in a sealed, full-temperature shaking incubator. The reaction conditions were: temperature 30℃, pH 7. Post-reaction analysis was performed after the reaction.
[0120] The results showed that the residual amounts of sodium cyanide, potassium cyanide, and acrylonitrile corresponding to the engineered Rhodococcus 2 were 26.7 mg / L, 30.2 mg / L, and 20.4 mg / L, respectively. Furthermore, infrared spectroscopy was used to detect the components in the reaction solution, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the presence of carboxyl and amine characteristic peaks in the solution indicates that the successfully transformed Rhodococcus can express hydrolases and hydratases.
[0121] Example 4. Cyanide degradation of engineered Rhodococcus and natural Rhodococcus
[0122] This experiment mainly investigated the effects of bioremediation agents and chemical degradation agents prepared using engineered Rhodococcus 1, engineered Rhodococcus 2, and unreconstituted Rhodococcus, respectively, on cyanide degradation. Different Rhodococcus fermentation broths (OD600 around 1) were selected and mixed with a stabilizer (the stabilizer components were: 20wt% glycerol, 4M PEG 4000, and 0.03wt% glutaraldehyde) at a 1:1 mass ratio to prepare bioremediation agents. The bioremediation agents and chemical degradation agents (the chemical degradation agent is Fe...) were then used... 2+ The mixture (prepared with hydrogen peroxide at a mass ratio of 1:1) was mixed with acrylonitrile (350 mg / L) at a mass ratio of 5:40 and added to a 500 mL Erlenmeyer flask. The mixture was then reacted for 3 days in a full-temperature shaking incubator at 30 °C, pH 7, and a stirring speed of 200 rpm / min.
[0123] After the experiment, the results were tested, such as... Figure 2 As shown, after the bioremediation agent prepared from the fermentation broth of engineered Rhodococcus 2 degraded the cyanide solution, the cyanide content in the solution decreased from 350 mg / L to 98 mg / L, with a degradation rate of 72.00%, which was higher than the cyanide degradation rate of other bioremediation agents prepared from Rhodococcus stock solutions. Moreover, after three days of degradation, the degradation rate of the cyanide solution prepared from the bioremediation agent prepared from the engineered Rhodococcus stock solution was much higher than that of chemical degradation agents.
[0124] Example 5. Effect of stabilizers on the degradation of cyanide by bioremediation agents
[0125] This experiment mainly investigated the effect of stabilizers prepared with different amounts of added components on the degradation effect of bioremediation agents. Stabilizers were prepared by optimizing the addition of different concentrations of glycerol, polyethylene glycol 4000, and glutaraldehyde (single-factor optimization was used, optimizing glycerol, polyethylene glycol 4000, and glutaraldehyde sequentially). The stabilizers were then mixed with engineered Rhodococcus 2 fermentation broth (OD600 approximately 1) at a mass ratio of 3:7 to form the bioremediation agent (engineered Rhodococcus 2 fermentation broth (OD600 approximately 1) served as a control). The biodegradation reaction was then carried out to obtain the biodegraded solution. In another experiment, the bioremediation agent and acrylonitrile aqueous solution (280 mg / L) were mixed at a mass ratio of 1:10 and reacted for 3 days in a sealed, full-temperature shaking incubator. The biodegradation reaction conditions were: temperature 30℃ and pH 7. The biodegraded solution was then centrifuged to separate the solid and liquid phases, obtaining the filtrate. The results are as follows: Figure 3 (The original liquid in the attached figure is the fermentation broth) As shown, the degradation effect varies depending on the stabilizer prepared with different components. When the stabilizer is prepared with 30wt% glycerol, 0.07wt% glutaraldehyde, and 8M polyethylene glycol 4000, the decyanation rate of the filtrate is 97.82%.

A cyanide solution (i.e., acrylonitrile aqueous solution) with a concentration of 280 mg / L was prepared. The engineered Rhodococcus 2 fermentation broth (OD600 around 1) was mixed with bioremediation agents prepared in different stabilizer ratios and the cyanide solution, and a biodegradation reaction was carried out to obtain a biodegraded solution. Specifically, the bioremediation agent and acrylonitrile aqueous solution were mixed at a mass ratio of 1:10 and reacted for 3 days in a sealed, full-temperature shaking incubator. The biodegradation reaction conditions were: temperature 30℃ and pH 7. The biodegraded solution was centrifuged to separate the solid and liquid phases, and the filtrate was obtained. Figure 4 As shown, after the engineered Rhodococcus 2 fermentation broth was reacted with different stabilizer ratios, the cyanide degradation rate of the resulting filtrate was approximately 70%–99%. When the mass ratio of the engineered Rhodococcus 2 fermentation broth to stabilizer was 40wt%:60wt%, the cyanide removal rate of the filtrate was 98.93%.

The reaction was carried out for 3 days in a full-temperature shaking incubator at 30℃, pH 7, and a stirring speed of 200rpm / min. After the experiment, the cyanide content in the bioremediation agent containing Escherichia coli decreased from 235mg / L to 120mg / L, with a degradation rate of 48.93%. In the degradation system containing Rhodococcus, the cyanide content decreased from 235mg / L to 48mg / L, with a degradation rate of 79.57%. The degradation rates of other strains were as follows: Figure 5 As shown.
[0132] Example 8. Effects of temperature and pH on cyanide degradation rate
[0133] This experiment mainly investigated the effects of temperature and pH on the degradation efficiency of cyanide by bioremediation agents. Under pH 7 conditions, 40 mL of 300 mg / L acrylonitrile aqueous solution was added to a dry conical flask, followed by 2 mL of bioremediation agent (prepared according to the stabilizer ratio in Example 5, specifically consisting of 30 wt% glycerol, 0.07 wt% glutaraldehyde, and 8M polyethylene glycol 4000; the bioremediation agent was prepared at a mass ratio of 4:6 of the fermentation broth of *Rhodococcus spp.* (OD600 approximately 1) to the stabilizer).

After the experiment, the cyanide content at different pH levels was measured, and the results are shown below. Figure 6 As shown in (b). Figure 5 The results showed that the optimal temperature for cyanide degradation was 40℃, the optimal pH was 7, and under the optimal conditions, approximately 99% of 300 mg / L cyanide could be degraded within 5 days.
