Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of microorganisms, and in particular to a cane wax-degrading Aspergillus fumigatus and an application thereof. [Background technology]

[0002] Guangxi has abundant sugarcane resources, which are large in quantity and easy to obtain, and are therefore widely used. Sugarcane is an important raw material for sugar production and biomass energy, and is the most important raw material for sugar production in my country. It plays a pivotal role in my country's sugar production and plays a vital role in meeting the needs of people's daily life, food and beverage processing industry, and pharmaceutical manufacturing industry.

[0003] However, the byproducts of the sugarcane industry, bagasse and filter mud, decompose slowly and have low processing utilization rates, resulting in problems such as low product quality and difficulty in degradation when used in the papermaking industry; problems such as reduced quality and low safety when used in the production of fertilizers and animal feed; and problems such as poor clarification and filtration during production and processing in sugar factories, resulting in poor gloss and low yield of sugarcane products. The reason may be caused by the wax on the surface of sugarcane. Destroying the wax on the surface of sugarcane is the first step to more effectively utilize sugarcane and sugarcane byproducts.

[0004] The destruction of the wax on the surface of sugarcane is the first step to more effectively utilize sugarcane and degrade sugarcane byproducts. It is very necessary to take measures to reduce wax and clean wax. The main wax reduction methods are physical method, chemical method and microbial degradation method.

[0005] Physical method: mainly through hot water, hot oil and other heat treatment to remove wax. Although this method has high degradation efficiency, it will affect the loss of nutrients in the product during the sugar production process, seriously affect the processing of by-products, and reduce their utilization value. In addition, hot water and hot oil will also cause machine blockage. Chemical method: Chemical wax reducers are usually used to degrade wax, but chemical wax reducers are not only costly, but also affect the safety of the sugar production process, reduce sugar production, poor quality of by-product utilization, low reliability, poor safety, pollution of the environment and threats to workers' health. Microbial degradation method: Microbial degradation uses the metabolism of microorganisms in nature to remove organic matter, thereby achieving the purpose of degradation. Microbial degradation has the advantages of high efficiency, non-toxicity, no secondary pollution, high safety, easy operation, low cost, and environmental protection.

[0006] The invention uses the Aspergillus fumigatus screened by the inventors, which has the characteristics of good growth stability, high sugarcane wax degradation rate, etc. The invention lays a foundation for sugarcane wax degradation bacterial agents. [Summary of the invention]
