Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of microorganisms, and in particular to a cellulase-producing bacillus and application thereof. [Background technology]

[0002] Humic acid is a mixed organic molecule produced by the decomposition of animal and plant debris by microorganisms. It is widely present in water bodies such as soil, rivers, lakes, and oceans. The organizational structure of humic acid is closely related to its source. For example, the different crops grown in the soil will also affect the organizational composition of humic acid. Although the composition of humic acid is complex, its core molecule belongs to an aromatic structure and has a variety of active groups, such as phenolic hydroxyl, carboxyl, methoxy, alcohol hydroxyl, carbonyl, and some humic acids have polypeptide structures and aliphatic structures, which make humic acid show strong ion affinity as a whole. Humic acid shows strong adsorption and extremely specific metal ion chelating ability, which makes humic acid widely used in many fields. At present, humic acid is commonly used in food, medicine, ecological regulation and animal husbandry, but the most common application is humic acid to improve soil structure, fertilizer efficiency and environmental protection. Zhang Huijuan's research found that humic acid can promote wheat's ability to absorb nitrogen and phosphorus, thereby enhancing wheat's ability to absorb fertilizers and promote growth. Bu Chuangang used humic acid as raw material to prepare adsorbent, which reduced the pollution in the wastewater. Chen Zhen and others' research showed that humic acid has a significant effect in adsorbing heavy metals and plays an important role in soil pollution, prevention and restoration.

[0003] Improve soil structure, increase fertilizer efficiency and protect the environment to ensure food production quality from the source, Liu Tiandong ] et al. found that applying a certain concentration of humic acid to pepper seedlings can increase pepper yield. Zheng Zhenyong found that humic acid can promote cucumber growth and increase the nutritional content of cucumber. Zhao Jingwan

[14] et al. found that humic acid can increase the germination rate of strawberry seedlings and improve the growth environment of strawberries. Ying Yongqing et al. found that humic acid can improve the saline-alkali environment and increase rice yields. Many studies have shown that humic acid promotes the growth of crops. It also proves that humic acid has many effects on food, such as improving food quality, increasing food safety and food production. This has gradually increased the research popularity of humic acid in the food field. At the same time, these many effects also reflect the application value of humic acid in the food field and its broad market prospects.
