Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of microorganisms, and specifically relates to a strain of Alcaligenes HC-1 and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Nitrogen is a key limiting nutrient that controls the growth, reproduction and primary production of organisms in most of the earth's ecosystems. The cycle of nitrogen forms an extremely complex circulation system that supports diverse life forms. With the rapid development of society, human activities have gradually caused nitrogen pollution in aquatic environments. For example, excessive nitrogen emissions cause eutrophication of aquatic ecosystems, resulting in algal blooms and red tides, and increased ammonia concentrations (increased toxicity) cause the death of aquatic organisms and other environmental problems. Exploring the mechanism of microbial denitrification and isolating and developing efficient denitrification microbial strain resources are of great significance to our efficient management of the water environment.

[0003] At present, the domestic sewage treatment process is mainly based on biological methods, including nitrification-denitrification (Autotrophicnitrification and denitrification), anaerobic ammonia oxidation (ANAMMOX), heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification (Heterotrophic nitrifying and aerobicdenitrifying bacteria, HN-AD) and other processes. The current mainstream denitrification process is based on traditional nitrification-denitrification, which separates the nitrification and denitrification processes according to the adaptation conditions and oxygen demand of nitrifying bacteria and denitrifying bacteria. This brings a series of disadvantages, including high energy consumption, the need to add organic matter as a carbon source for denitrification, large equipment scale, and the production of a large amount of N2O greenhouse gas. Although the anaerobic ammonium oxidation process has a high denitrification efficiency, the anaerobic ammonium oxidation microorganisms are autotrophic bacteria, grow extremely slowly and have high requirements for the growth environment. The heterotrophic nitrification and aerobic denitrification denitrification process can achieve simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND) and COD removal in the same reactor. Heterotrophic nitrifying bacteria have the advantages of rapid growth, low oxygen demand and wide application range, and have become a hot topic in current biological denitrification research. However, the HN-AD simultaneous denitrification process is still in the laboratory research stage, and there are few reports on its industrial application.

[0004] Direct ammonia oxidation (Dirammox) is a new denitrification pathway discovered in heterotrophic bacteria. Under the mediation of the dnf gene cluster, ammonia can be oxidized to hydroxylamine, and then nitrogen gas can be directly produced, which greatly simplifies the traditional denitrification steps and improves the denitrification efficiency. Heterotrophic denitrification bacteria have great application potential in the field of biological denitrification. Summary of the invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is how to improve and simplify the traditional denitrification steps of sewage treatment process and improve the denitrification efficiency of sewage treatment.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention first provides a strain of Alcaligenes.

[0008] The alcaligenes HC-1 has a complete direct ammonia oxidation gene cluster, including ten genes, dnfI, dnfH (dnfT1), dnfR, dnfG (dnfT2), dnfA, dnfB, dnfC and dnfD. Among them, dnfA is 954bp long, the nucleotide sequence is sequence 2 in the sequence list, and it is predicted to encode diiron oxygenase; dnfB is 1053bp long, the nucleotide sequence is sequence 3 in the sequence list, and it is predicted to encode 2Fe-2S iron-sulfur cluster binding domain protein; dnfC is 723bp long, the nucleotide sequence is sequence 4 in the sequence list, and it is predicted to encode glutamine aminotransferase.

The metabolite can be a sterile metabolite of the Alcaligenes Bacillus or a bacteria-containing metabolite of the Alcaligenes Bacillus. The sterile metabolite of the Alcaligenes Bacillus (sterile fermentation filtrate) can be prepared specifically according to the following method: the Alcaligenes Bacillus is cultured in a liquid culture medium, and the Alcaligenes Bacillus in the liquid culture (fermentation broth) is filtered out to obtain the sterile metabolite of the Alcaligenes Bacillus.

[0081] Example 1. Screening, Isolation, Identification and Preservation of Strain HC-1

[0082] 1. Screening and isolation of strains

[0083] Enrichment culture: Activated sludge samples were collected from the municipal sewage treatment plant in Changsha, Hunan Province. (Collector: Chen Han chenhan@ihb.ac.cn) The collected activated sludge samples were mixed and added to a conical flask containing 100mL HNM medium at a ratio of 1:500. Since hydroxylamine is highly toxic to most microorganisms, 1 mol / L hydroxylamine stock solution was added to the HNM medium to make the final concentration of hydroxylamine 2mmol / L as a pressure stress for selective enrichment, and placed in a constant temperature shaking incubator at 28°C and 180rpm for culture.

[0084] Strain isolation: For the above enrichment culture samples, use a pipette to take 1 mL each day and add it to 9 mL of sterile saline (0.9% NaCl). Invert each step to mix evenly. Finally, dilute 10 times to 10 -1 , 10 -2 , 10 -3 , 10 -4 , 10 -5 , 10 -6 , 200 μL of each dilution was applied to a HNM medium plate containing 2 mM hydroxylamine, and cultured at 28°C for 24-72 hours until a single colony grew, and the bacterial growth morphology was observed and preliminarily classified. After continuous selective enrichment screening, a strain of bacteria with direct ammonia oxidation ability was finally obtained, which was named strain HC-1.

[0085] 2. Molecular biological identification and morphological analysis of strains

[0086] A single colony of strain HC-1 obtained in the preliminary classification in step 1 was picked up and placed in 3 mL of HNM liquid medium containing 2 mM hydroxylamine, and cultured at 28 °C and 180 rpm until OD 600 About 0.6. The DNA of strain HC-1 was extracted and the molecular biological identification of the strain was completed by PCR amplification.

[0087] The sequence fragment of the 16S rRNA gene of strain HC-1 was obtained using universal primers 27F / 1492R (specific primer sequences: 1492R: 5'-TACGGCTACCTTGTTACGACTT-3', 27F: 5'-AGAGTTTGATCCTGGCTCAG-3'). The nucleotide sequence is sequence 1 in the sequence table. PCR system: 2×Es Taq master Mi 25μL, 27F 1μL, 1492R 1μL, bacterial solution 1μL, ddH2O 22μL. PCR reaction conditions: 1) 94℃ pre-denaturation for 5min; 2) 94℃ denaturation for 30sec; 3) 55℃ annealing for 30sec; 4) 72℃ extension for 1min; 5) 72℃ extension for 10min. 2) to 5) 30 cycles (Cycles).

[0088] The PCR product was sent to a sequencing company for first-generation sequencing, and the sequencing results were compared with the NCBI BLASTN database ( http: / / www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov / BLAST ) and the selected standard strains of Alcaligenes. The analysis of 16S rRNA genome and whole genome evolutionary tree, colinearity, ANI / AAI showed that ( Figure 1 ), HC-1 has a higher affinity with Alcaligenes nematophilus. It is followed by Alcaligenes aquatilis and Alcaligenes ammonioxydans. Finally, it was named Alcaligenes nematophilus HC-1, or strain HC-1 for short.

[0089] The strain HC-1 is a Gram-negative bacterium. The colonies are milky white, round, smooth and moist, opaque, and have relatively neat edges. After culturing on an LB plate at 30°C for 2 days, the colony diameter is about 2-3 mm. The cells are short rod-shaped, and the cell size is about (0.5-0.6) μm×(0.7-0.9) μm.

[0090] 3. Storage of strain HC-1

[0091] Alcaligenes nematophilus HC-1 was deposited in China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center (CGMCC, address: No. 3, Yard No. 1, Beichen West Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing) on ​​June 7, 2023, with the deposit number CGMCC 27571. Hereinafter referred to as Alcaligenes nematophilus CGMCC No. 27571 or Alcaligenes nematophilus HC-1 or strain HC-1.

[0092] Example 2: Analysis of denitrification capacity of Alcaligenes HC-1

[0093] The strain HC-1 was pre-cultured in LB medium to complete strain activation. The activated strain HC-1 was transferred to HNM medium at a 1% inoculation amount and cultured at 30°C and 160rpm for 16 hours to finally obtain the Alcaligenes HC-1 bacterial agent.

[0094] 1. Identification of the dnf gene cluster of Alcaligenes HC-1

[0095] By sequencing the whole genome of strain HC-1, it was found that HC-1 had a complete direct ammonia oxidation gene cluster (dnf gene cluster Figure 2 The dnfA gene is 954 bp long, and the nucleotide sequence is sequence 2 in the sequence list, which is predicted to encode di-iron oxygenase; the dnfB gene is 1053 bp long, and the nucleotide sequence is sequence 3 in the sequence list, which is predicted to encode 2Fe-2S iron-sulfur cluster binding domain protein; the dnfC gene is 723 bp long, and the nucleotide sequence is sequence 4 in the sequence list, which is predicted to encode glutamine aminotransferase. This proves at the genome level that strain HC-1 has the ability to complete denitrification through the direct ammonia oxidation (Dirammox) pathway.

[0096] 2. Determination of growth ability and direct ammonia oxidation ability of strain HC-1 using ammonia nitrogen as the sole nitrogen source

[0097] The strain HC-1 was pre-cultured in LB medium to complete the strain activation. Then, 1 mL of the strain HC-1 seed solution was inoculated into a 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask containing 100 mL of HNM medium (C / N=10), which contained 5 mM (NH4)2SO4. The Erlenmeyer flask was incubated on a rotary shaker at 30°C and 160 rpm. During the 60 h incubation period, the bacterial growth (OD 600 ), NH4 - -N, NH2OH-N, NO2 —N content. The determination method of ammonia nitrogen refers to: Determination of ammonia nitrogen in water by salicylic acid spectrophotometry HJ 536-2009; the determination method of nitrite nitrogen refers to: Determination of nitrite nitrogen in water by spectrophotometry GB7493-87; the determination method of hydroxylamine nitrogen refers to: the paper "Frear, DS, & Burrel, RC (1955). SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC METHOD FOR DETERMINING HYDROXYLAMINE REDUCTASE ACTIVITY IN HIGHER PLANTS. Analytical Chemistry, 27 (10), 1664-1665." The determination principle is that in the presence of ethanol and sodium carbonate, hydroxylamine and excess 8-hydroxyquinoline react quantitatively to generate a stable green condensation product 5,8-quinol inequinone-5-(8-hydroxy-5-quinolyl imide). The hydroxylamine content in the sample can be quantified by measuring the photometric value of its absorption peak at a wavelength of 705nm.

[0098] The ammonia oxidation and denitrification abilities of the cells were tested in HNM medium and it was found that during the ammonia conversion process, ammonia consumption was accompanied by cell growth. Figure 3 Hydroxylamine accumulates in large quantities during this process and is eventually consumed completely, accompanied by the production of small amounts of nitrite and nitrate.

[0099] After 4 h of growth, the HC-1 cells entered the logarithmic phase, and the OD 600 It reaches the highest value (0.328) and then decreases slightly. - -N decreased, NH2OH-N gradually accumulated, reaching a maximum concentration of 48.42 mg / L at 30 h, and then gradually decreased to almost undetectable. The accumulation of nitrite (9.50 mg / L) and nitrate (5.33 mg / L) was relatively small during the entire reaction process.

[0100] 3. Detection of nitrogen-containing gas products of strain HC-1 using ammonia nitrogen as the only nitrogen source

[0101] The strain HC-1 was pre-cultured in LB medium, and then 40 μL of HC-1 bacterial solution was inoculated into 4 mL of HNM (containing 5 mM ( 15 The top space of the bottle was filled with He / O2 at 4:1 as above, and the flask was incubated on a rotary shaker at 30°C and 160 rpm. The N2-N and N2O-N were measured for 120 h, and then the bacterial growth (OD 600 ), NH4 - -N, NH2OH-N, NO2 --N、NO3 — N.

[0102] The results showed that HC-1 produced nitrogen during the aerobic conversion of ammonia. According to nitrogen balance analysis, strain HC-1 could eventually convert 10mM 15 NH4-N is completely consumed and 55.61% of the consumed 15 NH4 + Convert to 15 N2, while generating 10.51% 15 N2O( Figure 4 ). Meanwhile, small amounts of nitrite (6.52%) and nitrate (0.96%) were detected. In addition, most of the consumed ammonia was converted into cellular nitrogen and organic nitrogen, and the total nitrogen removal rate reached 75.81%.

[0103] 4. Detection of total nitrogen removal rate of strain HC-1 using ammonia nitrogen as the only nitrogen source

[0104] The removal rate of total nitrogen in water by strain HC-1 was tested by using a total nitrogen reagent (Test ˉN Tub, HACH), digested with alkaline potassium persulfate by COD heater (DRB200, HACH), and then measured by spectrophotometer (DR890, HACH). The method for determining the biomass of strain HC-1 was the same as that for determining total nitrogen, and the biomass nitrogen was calculated by the difference method.

[0105] The results showed that the removal rate of total nitrogen in the water was 72.62%. Figure 5 It is basically consistent with the nitrogen balance analysis result (75.81%) in step 3.
