Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of microorganisms, and in particular relates to Bacillus subtilis for producing gamma-polyglutamic acid by open fermentation of sweet potato starch wastewater and its application. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous advancement of industrial technology, the field of agricultural food deep processing has developed rapidly. However, this development is also accompanied by environmental pollution problems, especially the problem of wastewater discharge generated during food processing, which has become a focus of widespread attention. Taking sweet potato starch processing as an example, its wastewater usually contains high chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biological oxygen demand (BOD). If it is directly discharged without effective treatment, it may cause water pollution, soil pollution and environmental sanitation problems, thereby affecting the ecological balance and human health.

[0003] At present, traditional wastewater treatment methods mainly include physical methods, chemical methods and anaerobic biological fermentation methods. Although these methods can reduce the pollution burden to a certain extent, their treatment costs are high and they may cause secondary pollution problems, which will bring huge operational pressure to food companies. In addition, these methods generally fail to achieve resource recovery and reuse, so they have certain limitations in promoting the sustainable development of the circular economy. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention aims to overcome the defects in the prior art and proposes a Bacillus subtilis for producing γ-polyglutamic acid by open fermentation of sweet potato starch wastewater and its application.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is achieved as follows:

[0015] Furthermore, the fermentation method also includes a continuous fermentation step. After the open fermentation is completed, 70-90% of the material is discharged, 10-30% of the bacterial liquid is retained, and fresh slow-release liquid fertilizer fermentation culture medium is added to carry out continuous fermentation for 10-20 batches.
