Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of microorganisms, in particular to Escherichia coli DH5α-B and applications thereof. Background Art

[0002] Chlorinated paraffins (CPs) are complex mixtures formed by direct chlorination of n-alkane raw material free radicals. CPs are also called polychlorinated alkanes (PCAs), and the degree of chlorination is usually 30-70% (mass fraction). According to the length of the carbon chain, CPs can be divided into short chain (SCCPs, C10-C13), medium chain (MCCPs, C14-C17) and long chain (LCCPs, C18-C30).

[0003] Chlorinated paraffins are flame retardant, low volatile, and insulating, and are widely used in many fields. However, chlorinated paraffins are also toxic pollutants that are difficult to degrade and are widely distributed in various environmental media such as the atmosphere, organisms, water, soil, and sediments, and have even been detected in polar regions. Compared with MCCPs and LCCPs, SCCPs have the most special physical and chemical properties, the greatest potential for environmental release, and the "triple effects" of carcinogenicity, teratogenicity, and mutagenicity. They are the most toxic and were eventually included in the list of controlled persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in Annex A of the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants in 2017.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to reduce and remove chlorinated paraffins in the environment. The removal methods of chlorinated paraffins mainly include physical and chemical methods and biological removal methods. Among them, biological removal, as the most economical method, bioadsorbs or biodegrades pollutants. It is considered to be one of the most reliable methods for removing organic pollutants in the environment and is highly favored by researchers. It is generally divided into bacterial degradation method, bacterial adsorption method, plant absorption method and other theoretically feasible methods (fungi, algae and animals). SCCPs-degrading bacteria that can use SCCPs as carbon sources and energy sources have been identified, but the disadvantage is that their effective degradation cycle is longer (such as 30-100 days), and there are fewer strains that can effectively degrade MCCPs. Summary of the invention

The Escherichia coli DH5α-B of the present invention has good performance in degrading chlorinated paraffins.
