Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microorganisms and wastewater treatment, and particularly relates to a heterotrophic-aerobic desulfurization bacterium with a high desulfurization rate and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of my country's aquaculture industry, the environmental problems associated with high-density, intensive aquaculture are becoming increasingly prominent. Excessive fertilization leads to an overabundance of nutrients in the water, and this nutrient accumulation can trigger a series of environmental and ecological problems. Excessive feeding, on the one hand, leads to direct economic losses due to the loss of bait, and on the other hand, the decomposition of bait deposited at the bottom of the aquaculture pond consumes significant amounts of oxygen, degrading the local substrate environment. In short, large amounts of leftover bait, dead plants and animals, excrement, and fertilizer accumulate in the pond sediment, easily generating harmful substances such as ammonia, organic acids, sulfides, and methane, which harm aquaculture production.

[0003] Sulfide is a harmful product of high-density, large-scale feeding aquaculture methods that damage the aquaculture ecological environment and weaken the self-purification ability of water bodies. Bottom sulfide is one of the important factors affecting the aquaculture environment and an important indicator for measuring the quality of the bottom environment. Moreover, hydrogen sulfide itself, as a strong reducing agent, can affect the normal metabolism of most aerobic microorganisms and algae, thereby weakening the self-purification ability of water bodies. In addition, sulfide can combine with hemoglobin in the blood of farmed organisms to produce sulfhemoglobin, generating chocolate-like black blood, which reduces the oxygen-carrying capacity of the body's blood. Sulfide has a strong irritating and corrosive effect on the gill tissue of farmed organisms, causing coagulative necrosis of the tissue, resulting in difficulty breathing and even suffocation. The toxicity of sulfide to fish and shrimp is mainly through the mucous membrane on the gill surface and the Na in the tissue + or Cu in blood 2+ They combine to form substances with strong stimulating effects, inhibiting the occurrence of certain enzymatic reactions and causing harm to the body.
