Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of straw degradation, and more particularly to a strain B11 capable of resisting low temperature and salt and alkali and degrading fiber lignin, and its application. Background Art

[0002] Currently, soil salinization is widespread globally and is one of the main causes of soil degradation, a global environmental problem. According to incomplete statistics from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), saline-alkali land covers approximately 960 million hectares worldwide, accounting for 64.20% of total arable land. This area is increasing by 1.5 million hectares annually, severely damaging and weakening soil productivity. Against this backdrop, improving the quality of saline-alkali farmland has become a strategic option for addressing or mitigating national food security.

[0003] Inner Mongolia is my country's main grain-producing region, providing approximately 35 million tons of grain annually and playing an irreplaceable role in ensuring national food security. Effective improvement of saline-alkali soils has significantly increased the area of ​​arable land, which is of great significance to ensuring national food security.

[0004] Various measures, including deep tillage, straw incorporation, organic fertilizer application, and the use of beneficial microorganisms, can significantly improve the quality of saline-alkali soil. Compared to other salinization mitigation methods, straw incorporation is cost-effective and reduces environmental pollution, making it an effective measure for achieving green and sustainable agricultural development. In-situ straw incorporation can effectively improve soil salinization by inhibiting soil salt accumulation, increasing available nutrients, and regulating the structure of beneficial soil microorganisms, thereby alleviating salinity stress on crops. However, in the cold and arid regions of northern China (such as Inner Mongolia), low temperatures and droughts in autumn result in slow degradation of in-situ straw, severely impacting the sowing and emergence of crops the following year. The use of beneficial microorganisms can significantly accelerate straw degradation and simultaneously produce large amounts of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS, ACC, and IAA) to neutralize salt and alkali ions in the soil environment, alleviating soil salinization and promoting crop growth and development. Existing microbial resources for straw degradation are mostly room- or high-temperature-resistant, and screening for efficient low-temperature straw-degrading microorganisms is scarce. Furthermore, efficient degraders that tolerate saline-alkali conditions are even rarer.

[0005] As an important microbial resource, straw-degrading bacteria play a significant role in straw reuse and reducing soil salinization. They can accelerate straw degradation in low-temperature, saline-alkali environments, rapidly breaking straw down into simple compounds that can be used by crops. This improves soil's available nutrients, reduces soil salinity, and enhances crop resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses.

[0006] Therefore, for the saline-alkali land in the cold and arid areas of the north, it is an urgent problem that technicians in this field need to solve to screen out efficient straw degradation microorganisms suitable for the area, effectively improve the degradation efficiency of straw return to the field, reduce the degree of soil salinization, and provide technical guarantees for stable and increased crop yields. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of this, the present invention provides a low-temperature, salt-alkali-tolerant and cellulose lignin-degrading strain B11 and its application.

[0008] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0009] A strain B11 that is resistant to low temperature, salt and alkali and can degrade cellulose lignin, the strain B11 is a stratosphere Bacillus, and is classified and named Bacillus stratosphericus It was deposited in the General Microbiology Center of China Culture Collection Administration on April 8, 2024, with the deposit number CGMCC No.30278, and the deposit address is No. 3, Yard 1, Beichen West Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing.

[0010] The application of a low-temperature-resistant, salt-alkali-resistant and cellulose lignin-degrading strain B11 in the metabolic production of cellulase and ligninase.

[0011] Furthermore, the cellulase includes filter paper enzyme, endoglucanase, exoglucanase, β-glucosidase, xylanase, laccase, lignin peroxidase, and manganese peroxidase.

[0013] Furthermore, in saline-alkali soils of varying degrees, strain B11 significantly improved straw degradation efficiency and straw element release rate.

[0014] The application of the metabolites of a low-temperature-tolerant, salt-alkali-tolerant and cellulose lignin-degrading strain B11 in improving saline-alkali land and improving plant tolerance.

[0015] It can be seen from the above technical solution that compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0016] This study screened cellulose-lignin-degrading bacteria from saline-alkali soils of varying degrees using CMC-Na (cellulose) and lignin (lignin). Strain B11 was identified as a stratospheric Bacillus based on its morphological, physiological, and biochemical properties, as well as 16S rDNA sequence analysis. The strain's filter paper enzyme activity was 35.26 U / mL, endoglucanase activity was 24.33 U / mL, exoglucanase activity was 31.25 U / mL, β-glucanidase activity was 24.26 U / mL, xylanase activity was 25.45 U / mL, laccase activity was 112.36 U / L, lignin peroxidase activity was 56.23 U / L, and manganese peroxidase activity was 49.26 U / L.

[0059] Weigh 5 g of soil sample and place it in a triangular flask containing 45 mL of sterile water and sterilized glass beads. Oscillate at 180 r / min for about 20 min to fully disperse the soil microorganisms.

[0060] 2.2 Initial screening

[0061] like Figure 2 As shown, 1 mL of soil sample dilution was taken and placed in a test tube containing 9 mL of sterile saline (0.9% NaCl solution) and mixed thoroughly. -1 , 10 -2 , 10 -3 , 10 -4 , 10 -5 , 10 -6 , 10 -7 , 10 -8 , 10 -9 , 10 -10 Soil dilution. Select 10 -4 ~10 -10 The soil dilution was spread on two selective media, carboxymethyl cellulose medium and alkaline lignin medium, respectively. The culture was carried out at 10°C for 7 days. The morphology and color of the colonies were observed and recorded. Specific colonies were screened and duplicate colonies were removed. Specific colonies were selected and streaked on LB medium for isolation and purification. The culture was carried out at 25°C for 1 to 7 days. The growth of the colonies was observed and recorded every day. Single colonies with different morphologies were streaked on new LB medium for isolation and purification until a pure strain was obtained ( Figure 3 ).

[0062] 2.3 Rescreening

[0063] like Figure 2 As shown in the results, 100 μL of the selected low-temperature and salt-alkali tolerant strains were added to straw degradation medium (low salinity pH 7, NaCl 2%; moderate salinity pH 9, NaCl 5%; high salinity pH 11, NaCl 8%) and cultured at 10°C for 28 days. The degradation of corn straw was observed and recorded. After 28 days, the corn straw was removed and dried at 80°C to constant weight. The weight loss rate was calculated, and strains with a straw weight loss rate of ≥30% were selected. The selected strains were numbered and each strain was liquid propagated. Specifically, each strain was selected and placed in 40 mL of sterile basal LB liquid medium and incubated at 25°C and 130 rpm. -1Culture at a constant temperature for 12–18 h, prepare glycerol stock at a bacterial suspension / glycerol (50% sterilized glycerol) (v / v) ratio of 1:1, place in a 2 mL cryovial, and store at −80°C until use.

[0064] The selected single strain B11, which is resistant to low temperature and salt and alkali, has a straw degradation rate of 34.51% in low salinity (pH 7, NaCl 2%) over 28 days, a maximum straw degradation rate of 35.36% in moderate salinity (pH 9, NaCl 5%) over 28 days, and a maximum straw degradation rate of 35.87% in high salinity (pH 11, NaCl 8%) over 28 days. Figure 4 , Figure 5 ).

[0065] 2.4 Determination of the degradation function of the strain

[0066] The degradation function of the purified strains was preliminarily identified, including the ability to degrade lignocellulose, starch, fat, and protein. The identification method is as follows:

[0067] (1) Cellulose-degrading bacteria: After staining the colony surface with 1 mg / mL Congo red solution for 1 hour, observe whether a transparent circle is produced on the agar medium surface and the size of the transparent circle to determine whether the strain has the ability to produce cellulase (see the results). Figure 6 Left).

[0068] (2) Lignin-degrading bacteria: Take 30 mL of 95% (v / v) ethanol solution, add 0.5 g of guaiacol, and drip it on the surface of the colony. If the titration area is reddish-brown, it means that the strain can produce laccase. Take 0.1% benzidine (v / v) and 0.4% hydrogen peroxide (v / v) in equal volumes and mix them, drip them on the edge of the colony. If the titration area is yellowish-brown, it means that the strain can produce peroxidase. The color depth can represent the ability of the strain to produce laccase and peroxidase (see the results). Figure 6 right).

[0069] (3) Starch (polysaccharide) degrading bacteria: Add 0.02 mol / L iodine solution to the surface of the colony. If a colorless transparent circle appears on the surface of the culture medium, the strain can degrade starch.

[0070] (4) Fat-degrading bacteria: Add 1.6% neutral red solution to the surface of the colony. If the surface of the culture medium turns dark blue, the strain can degrade fat.

[0071] (5) Protein-degrading bacteria: Use gelatin culture medium for identification. If the gelatin culture medium is liquefied, the strain can degrade protein.

[0072] Table 4 Straw degradation effect of strain B11 Note: “+” indicates that it has the corresponding degradation function, and “-” indicates that it does not have the corresponding degradation function.

[0073] 2.5 Determination of strains’ tolerance to low temperature and salt and alkali

[0074] (1) All the primary screening strains (glycerol bacteria preservation solution) were inoculated into basic sterilized LB liquid culture medium at a ratio of 1:1 (v / v) and activated in batches (35°C, 130 r·min -1 The activated strain was cultured at constant temperature for 12 hours. Streak the activated strain onto LB solid medium using a sterilized inoculating stick at 0°C, 2°C, 4°C, 6°C, 8°C, 10°C, 12°C, and 14°C (pH 8, 5% NaCl). The strains were cultured at constant temperature for 24–72 hours. Growth was observed and the results recorded. Colonies that grew within 72 hours were considered tolerant (+); those that did not grew were considered intolerant (-).

[0075] (2) Salt tolerance assessment: Prepare LB solid medium with NaCl content of 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, and 12% respectively, with a pH of 8.0. Sterilize the activated strains with sterilized inoculation sticks and culture them on plates. Incubate at 15°C for 24-72 hours to observe the growth of the strains and record the results to determine the salt tolerance of the strains. Colonies that grow within 72 hours are recorded as tolerant (+), while those that do not grow are intolerant (-).

[0076] (3) Identification of alkali resistance: After activation of all the primary screened strains, the pH values ​​of the culture medium were adjusted to 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15, respectively, based on the highest salt concentration at which each strain could grow normally. The activated strains were streaked on plates using sterilized inoculation sticks and cultured at a constant temperature of 15°C for 24 to 72 hours. The growth of the strains was observed and the results were recorded to determine the salt tolerance of the strains. Colonies that grew within 72 hours were recorded as tolerant (+), while those that did not grew were recorded as intolerant (-).

[0077] (4) Identification of salt and alkali tolerance: Based on the results of salt and alkali tolerance tests, the alkali tolerance of each strain was further identified. Based on the highest salt concentration at which each strain could grow normally, the NaCl content was set to 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, and 11%, and the pH value of the culture medium was adjusted to 10, 11, 12, and 13 using NaOH (0.1 M, 1 M) and HCl (0.05 M, 1 M), respectively. The activated strains were streaked on plates using sterilized inoculation sticks and cultured at a constant temperature of 15°C for 24 to 72 hours. The growth of the strains was observed and the results were recorded to determine the salt tolerance of the strains. Colonies that grew within 72 hours were recorded as tolerant (+), while those that did not grew were recorded as intolerant (-).

[0081] Table 8 Identification of salt and alkali tolerance of strain B11 Note: “+” indicates that the strain can grow; “-” indicates that the strain cannot grow.

[0082] Depend on Figure 7 As shown in Table 5-8, strain B11 can grow at 8°C, 9% NaCl, and pH 13. When subjected to both saline and alkali stress, it can grow at 9% NaCl and pH 12. The tolerance of the same strain B7 from the same batch of initial screening is slightly weaker than that of B11.

[0126] 4. Straw degradation efficiency and straw element release rate of strain B11 in saline-alkali soils of varying degrees

[0127] 4.1 Test location

[0128] The experimental site was located in Wayao Village, Salaqi Town, Baotou City, Inner Mongolia. Three types of salinity levels were selected for straw return treatment: low, medium, and high. Baotou City, Inner Mongolia (41°13'-43°36'N, 113°26'-116°13'E) has a typical mid-temperate continental monsoon climate, an average altitude of 1.1 km, and a total area of ​​approximately 1.05×10 4 km 2 The region has little rainfall in summer, with an average annual rainfall of 185 mm, and low temperatures and drought in winter. The shallow groundwater level in Tumochuanping, Inner Mongolia, leads to solute enrichment and severe secondary salinization. The basic properties of saline-alkali soil are shown in Table 1. The B11 used in this study is Bacillus stratosphericus (CGMCC NO.30278), the bacteria were mixed with fillers (corn stalk husk powder, starch, and bran) in a ratio of 1:4 for fermentation, and then freeze-dried to prepare a dry powder inoculum with a viable bacterial count of 7.5×10 10 CFU / g.

[0129] Table 10 Chemical properties of saline-alkali soils of different degrees and content of corn straw components

[0130] 4.2 Experimental Design

[0131] Corn straw was dried at 70°C and cut into 1 cm × 1 cm squares. 20 g of corn straw was weighed and added to a 25 cm × 35 cm mesh bag with a pore size of 5 mm. 20 g of sieved soil was then added to increase the contact area between the straw and the soil. The composition of corn straw is shown in Table 10. This experiment was conducted on three saline-alkali soils with low (L), medium (M), and high (H) degrees of salinity. Bacillus stratosphericu After corn harvest, nylon bags were placed at a depth of 25 cm in the soil. Dry powdered microbial inoculant was then quantitatively applied to the surface of the nylon bags and the soil was filled. For the sterilization treatment, an equal amount of inactivated microbial inoculant was applied. Each treatment was repeated 7 times. Thermometers and hygrometers were placed to monitor the soil ( Figure 9 The total experimental time was 40 days. The straw was removed to determine the degradation rate of the straw and its components, and the soil around the straw was collected to determine the soil enzyme activity, chemical properties, and salt and alkaline ions.

[0132] 4.3 Measurement indicators

[0133] (1) Determination of corn straw degradation rate: The corn straw degradation rate was determined by the weight loss method. The calculation formula is: Straw degradation rate (%) = (W0-W1) / W0×100%, where W0 represents the weight of the straw in the culture medium before inoculation (g); W1 represents the weight of the degraded straw remaining after drying at the end of the culture (g). The results were repeated three times.

[0134] (2) Determination of corn straw composition: The dried corn straw was crushed and passed through a 1 mm sieve. The sieved straw was transferred to a special filter bag for neutralization and acid washing. Cellulose and hemicellulose were determined using a cellulose analyzer (ANKOM A200i). For lignin determination, the sample was washed with 72% concentrated sulfuric acid and ashed using a muffle furnace. The degradation efficiency of the straw components was calculated based on the loss of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. The main elements in the straw were determined by the potassium dichromate volumetric method-external heating method, the total nitrogen content was determined by the H2SO4-H2O2 digestion-distillation method, the total phosphorus content was determined by the vanadium molybdenum yellow colorimetric method, and the total potassium content was determined by flame photometry.

[0135] Depend on Figure 10 It can be seen that the straw degradation rates of strain B11 in low, medium and high saline-alkali soils were 34.56%, 33.69% and 35.14% respectively; the cellulose degradation rates in low, medium and high saline-alkali soils were 25.91%, 26.29% and 28.17% respectively; the hemicellulose degradation rates in low, medium and high saline-alkali soils were 23.45%, 25.61% and 26.73% respectively; and the lignin degradation rates in low, medium and high saline-alkali soils were 28.15%, 30.27% and 32.56% respectively. The internal structure of the degraded straw in each treatment was observed by electron microscopy. Figure 11 Compared to the CK treatment, the internal structures of hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin in the bacterial treatment were irregular, rough, and fragmented, with numerous cavities, significantly improving their degradation efficiency. In highly saline and alkaline environments, bacterial growth was greatest and structural damage was highest, consistent with the metabolic degradation patterns of bacterial enzymes.

[0136] Depend on Figure 12 It can be seen that the carbon release rates of strain B11 in low, medium and high saline-alkali soils were 10.23%, 12.78% and 15.64% respectively; the nitrogen release rates in low, medium and high saline-alkali soils were 12.45%, 13.69% and 15.16% respectively; the phosphorus release rates in low, medium and high saline-alkali soils were 8.36%, 10.45% and 11.23% respectively; and the potassium release rates in low, medium and high saline-alkali soils were 14.26%, 16.74% and 18.59% respectively.
