[0038] In Examples 1 to 4 of the present invention, all the raw materials and reagents used can be purchased from the market.

[0039] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with embodiments:

[0040] Example 1 Strain Isolation

[0041] It was separated from whey wastewater of a sewage treatment plant in Boxing County, Binzhou City, Shandong Province. 10 mL of wastewater was added to 90 mL of sterile water with glass beads, shaken in a shaker for 30 minutes, and then diluted to 10^4 in a clean bench. 100 μL was spread on a YPD plate and cultured in a constant temperature incubator at 37°C for 24 hours. Monoclones of different morphology and size were picked out in the clean bench and added to 15 mL of fresh YPD liquid culture medium, and cultured in a constant temperature incubator at 35°C for 24 hours. Each strain of bacteria was stored in 3 glycerol tubes, and the remaining bacterial liquid was used for standby use.

[0042] Functional screening: pH of the obtained bacterial solution was tested by pH electrode method, YPD medium was used as negative control, and strains with pH lower than the negative control were selected as candidate strains for the next test. Three acid-producing strains were isolated, among which JM4 could grow on both YPD medium and LB medium. The screened strain JM4 was streaked on LB plate and cultured in a 37℃ constant temperature incubator for 24 hours. A milky white colony with smooth surface, protrusions and neat edges was formed. The colony morphology was as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the cells are oval in shape, without spores or flagella, and their microscopic morphology is as follows Figure 2 As shown, it was sent to BGI (Hubei, Wuhan) for sequencing, and the sequence is shown in the gene sequence table SEQ ID NO: 1. After BLAST comparison, the sequence was 99.93% homologous to Corynebacterium vitaeruminis DSM 20294, belonging to Corynebacterium vitaeruminis, and was named LBSW24-01.

[0043] Example 2 Fermentation medium screening

[0044] The LB medium formula is: sodium chloride 10 g / L, yeast powder 5 g / L, peptone 10 g / L, agar powder 18 g / L (solid), distilled water as the balance, pH 6.8~7.0, sterilized at 121℃ for 20 min.

[0045] The formula of YPD medium is: glucose 20 g / L, yeast powder 10 g / L, peptone 20 g / L, agar powder 18 g / L (solid), and the balance is distilled water. Sterilize at 121℃ for 20 min.

[0046] Activation of bacterial strains: In a clean bench, pick the bacterial strain with the deposit number of CGMCC No.33059 from the slant and put it into 200 mL LB liquid culture medium, and culture it in a shaking incubator at 37°C and 150 rpm for 24 h;

[0047] Inoculation: The prepared liquid seeds were inoculated into 200 mL LB liquid medium and 200 mL YPD liquid medium at a 1% (v / v) inoculation rate, respectively, and cultured in a shaking incubator at 37°C and 150 rpm for 12 h.

[0048] The colony count and suspended matter changes were detected respectively. The detection methods referred to GB4789.2-2016 Determination of total colony count in food microbiology examination, GB11901-1989 Gravimetric method for determination of suspended matter in water quality and GB / T 6432-2018 Kjeldahl method for determination of crude protein in feed.

[0049] Table 1 Culture medium optimization

[0050]

[0051] After testing, it was found that the colony count and suspended matter content of rumen-inhabiting Corynebacterium on YPD medium were much higher than those on LB medium. Therefore, the optimal fermentation medium for rumen-inhabiting Corynebacterium is YPD medium.

[0052] Example 3 Functional identification of rumen-inhabiting Corynebacterium

[0053] 3.1 Determination of amino acid content

[0054] Previous studies have shown that Corynebacterium produces amino acids or small molecule organic acids. In order to verify the function of this strain, the amino acid content and pH changes of the fermentation broth were detected. The detection steps are as follows: take an appropriate amount of fermentation broth, filter it with filter paper, and use the filtrate for amino acid content and pH detection. YPD is used as a control. The amino acid content detection method refers to GB / T 8314-2013 Determination of the total amount of free amino acids in tea, and the pH is determined using the pH electrode method.

[0055] Table 2 Determination of amino acid content

[0056]

[0057] After testing, the results are shown in Table 2. The free amino acid content of YPD is higher than that of the fermentation broth, indicating that the fermentation process consumes amino acids. The pH of the fermentation broth is lower than that of YPD, which also indicates that H is produced during the fermentation process. + At the same time, the fermentation liquid can decolorize the potassium permanganate solution (such as Figure 3 ), indicating that lactic acid was produced during the fermentation process. The lactic acid content was tested to be 976 mg / L.

[0058] 3.2 Flocculation analysis

[0059] 3.2.1 Flocculation rate detection

[0060] In Example 2, it was found that the sedimentation effect of rumen bacteria was better (such as Figure 4As shown), it is speculated that the rumen bacteria may have a flocculation effect, so the flocculation rate of the obtained bacterial solution is tested. The determination method is as follows: 5 g / L kaolin suspension is prepared with kaolin (analytical grade) as a simulated suspended solid polluted water body. 100 mL of simulated water sample is added to a 250 mL conical flask, and 2 mL of bacterial solution and 0.1 mL of 5% (w / v) CaCl2 solution as a coagulant are added respectively. The pH is adjusted to 6.8-7.0 with NaOH and HCl, and mixed at 500 rpm on a magnetic stirrer for 5 minutes. At the same time, a simulated water sample with YPD culture medium added is used as a blank control under the same conditions. After standing for 10 minutes, 10 mL of supernatant is aspirated. The absorbance of the supernatant of the sample to be tested and the absorbance of the supernatant of the blank control solution are measured at 550 nm using an ultraviolet spectrophotometer, and the flocculation rate is calculated using the following formula:

[0061] Flocculation rate (%) = (BA) × 100 / B

[0062] In the above formula,

[0063] A-measure the absorbance of the sample supernatant;

[0064] B- absorbance of blank solution supernatant.

[0065] Table 3 Flocculation test of rumen bacteria

[0066]

[0067] After testing and analysis, it was found that rumen bacteria have certain flocculation properties, and the amount of addition needs to be studied.

[0068] 3.2.2 Effect of bacterial addition amount on flocculation

[0069] Add 100 mL of simulated water sample to each of 7 250 mL conical flasks, add 0 mL, 2 mL, 5 mL, 7.5 mL, 10 mL, 15 mL and 20 mL of fermentation broth of Ruminobacterium LBSW24-01, add 20 mL, 18 mL, 15 mL, 12.5 mL, 10 mL, 5 mL and 0 mL of YPD medium respectively, add 0.12 mL of 5% (w / v) CaCl2 solution as coagulant to each flask, adjust the pH to 6.8-7.0 with NaOH and HCl, mix at 500 rpm on a magnetic stirrer for 5 minutes, let stand for 10 minutes, and take 10 mL of supernatant. Use ultraviolet spectrophotometer to measure the absorbance of the supernatant of the sample to be tested at 550 nm, and calculate the flocculation rate using the following formula:

[0070] Flocculation rate (%) = (BA) × 100 / B

[0071] In the above formula,

[0072] A-measure the absorbance of the sample supernatant;

[0073] B- absorbance of blank solution supernatant.

[0074] Table 4 Relationship between bacterial solution addition amount and flocculation rate

[0075]

[0076] It can be seen from the table that in order to achieve the best flocculation effect of rumen bacteria, the minimum amount of bacterial solution added is 7.5%.

[0077] 3.3 Protease activity detection

[0078] In order to verify whether Corynebacterium rumensis has the characteristics of protease production, the fermentation broth of Corynebacterium rumensis was subjected to protease activity detection-Folin phenol method, and the detection steps were as follows: 1) The control group (YPD) and the experimental group (LBSW24-01 fermentation broth) were diluted 5 times respectively, and 1 mL of the dilution was taken and preheated at 40℃ for 2 minutes; 2) 2 mL of trichloroacetic acid was added to the control group, and 1 mL of casein solution was added to the experimental group, and the mixture was shaken and kept at 40℃ for 10 minutes; 3) 1 mL of casein solution was added to the control group, and 2 mL of trichloroacetic acid was added to the experimental group, and the mixture was shaken and kept at 40℃ for 10 minutes, and filtered; 4) 1 mL of the filtrate was taken, 5 mL of sodium carbonate solution was added, and then 1 mL of Folin phenol solution was added, and the mixture was placed in a 40℃ water bath for color development for 20 min; 5) The absorbance was measured at a wavelength of 680 nm using a spectrophotometer, and the amino acid content was found from the standard curve; water was used instead of the fermentation broth to perform operations 4) and 5) as the reference solution.

[0079] The protease activity of the fermentation broth of Bacillus subtilis LBSW24-01 was detected to be 0 μ / mL, so this Bacillus subtilis did not produce protease.

[0080] Table 5

[0081]

[0082] Example 4 Application of Ruminobacterium spp. in whey wastewater

[0083] Take two 500 mL Erlenmeyer flasks and add 200 mL of whey wastewater; add 2 mL of distilled water and 2 mL of LBSW24-01 fermentation broth respectively, seal with plastic wrap and place in a shaker, shake and culture at 150 rpm and 37℃ for 24 hours. After the fermentation is completed, detect the pH change, take 50 mL for suspended matter content determination, and the filtrate is used to detect COD. The remaining solution is centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 5 minutes, the supernatant is discarded, and the precipitate is placed in a 105℃ oven and dried for 8 hours for use in the determination of crude protein content.

[0084] Table 6 Application of rumen bacteria in whey wastewater

[0085]

[0086] The results are shown in Table 6. Adding Corynebacterium rumenii can reduce the pH of whey wastewater and increase the suspended solids content, with the suspended solids increasing by 25.29%.

[0087] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
