Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the fields of bioengineering and wastewater treatment, and in particular relates to an engineering bacterium capable of efficiently degrading NP, a construction method thereof and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether (NPEO) is an important nonionic surfactant with stable properties. It is commonly used in industrial, agricultural, and commercial fields, and is therefore present in large quantities in wastewater. Biological treatment is widely used in wastewater treatment due to its low cost and wide applicability. However, during the biochemical treatment of wastewater, NPEO deethoxylates to form nonylphenol (NP), a persistent environmental pollutant with extremely strong endocrine-disrupting properties. This pollutant is extremely harmful to the normal development and reproductive behavior of humans and animals, and cannot be effectively removed within the limited hydraulic retention time (HRT). This increases the endocrine-disrupting toxicity of biochemically treated wastewater, posing an ecological risk when discharged into the environment.

[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, in the prior art, for example, the applicant's prior application for a Chinese invention patent with publication number CN116574626A, entitled "A composite microbial agent and its preparation method and application", records the use of Priesteria gigantea ( Priestia megaterium )EBTHRC-BP and Pseudomonas moniliformis ( Pseudomonas monteilii ) EBTHRC-PM constitutes a composite bacterial agent, among which: Pseudomonas moniliformis EBTHRC-PM shows the ability to degrade both NPEO and NP, but the degradation rate of NP is low, and it cannot effectively inhibit the toxicity in the process of degrading wastewater containing NPEO; Priesteria gigantea EBTHRC-BP has a strong ability to degrade the downstream products of nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether; the combination of the two forms a metabolic division of labor and a positive degradation feedback mechanism, achieving a synergistic effect, with a degradation effect higher than that of a single bacterium and a reduction in the endocrine disrupting toxicity of wastewater.

[0004] In this application, Priesteria gigantea EBTHRC-BP and Pseudomonas moniliformis EBTHRC-PM need to be cultured separately and mixed with equal biomass to create a composite microbial inoculum. If a microorganism with high toxicity can be obtained for the wastewater degradation of NPEO, the microbial culture process would be reduced, saving costs.

[0005] kill The gene mainly exists in bacteria and is a key gene involved in the biosynthesis of ubiquinone (also known as coenzyme Q). The current NPEO degradation process mainly focuses on screening strains with high degradation efficiency, and has not yet been tested on killResearch on gene modification to improve bacterial degradation efficiency.

Washing with MSM was repeated three times, and the pellets were resuspended in an equal volume of inorganic salt medium. The pellets were then inoculated into inorganic salt medium containing 10 mg / L NPEO and NP, respectively, at a 5% volume ratio. Inoculation with inorganic salt medium alone served as a blank control. The cells were harvested at 0, 12, 24, and 48 hours, and then centrifuged at 8000 rpm for 5 minutes. Total RNA was extracted using an RNA extraction kit (Nanjing Novozymes Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Cat.

During the degradation of NP, the engineered strain GC01 kill The gene was upregulated 3-5 times compared with the wild-type EBTHRC-PM.

[0086] Example 3: Detection of the degradation of engineered bacteria GC01 in NPEO or NP environment

[0087] The engineered bacteria GC01 prepared in Example 1 was inoculated into inorganic salt culture media containing 10 mg / L NPEO and 10 mg / L NP, respectively, to detect the degradation of NPEO and NP by the strain.

[0088] 200 mL of inorganic salt culture medium was added to a 250 mL conical flask, and NPEO was added at a final concentration of 10 mg / L. The engineered bacteria G01 and wild bacteria EBTHRC-PM were inoculated into the inorganic salt culture medium, respectively, with an initial inoculation size of 5%. The degradation experimental conditions were 28°C and 150 rpm. Samples were taken at different time points, and the residual amount of NPEO was detected by high-performance liquid chromatography.

[0089] 50 mL of inorganic salt medium was added to 100 mL of the medium, followed by NP at a final concentration of 10 mg / L. The engineered strain GC01 and the wild strain EBTHRC-PM were inoculated into the inorganic salt medium, cultured at 28°C for 14 hours, and then harvested by centrifugation. The initial inoculum size was 5%. Degradation experiments were performed at 28°C and 150 rpm. Samples were taken at different time points, and the residual NP content was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography.

[0090] Figure 3 The results show the degradation performance and degradation kinetics of the two strains inoculated into MSM containing 10 mg / L NPEO or NP, respectively. There was no significant difference in the degradation ability of the two strains for NPEO, and the degradation kinetic constants were similar. The engineered strain GC01 exhibited significantly higher NP degradation than the wild strain. While the wild strain only achieved a 40% degradation rate of NP in 72 hours, the engineered strain GC01 achieved 100% complete degradation, with a degradation kinetic constant seven times that of the wild strain.

[0091] Example 4: Detoxification of NPEO by Engineered Bacteria in a Simulated Wastewater Environment

[0092] The engineered bacteria GC01 prepared in Example 1 was inoculated into 10 mg / L NPEO simulated wastewater. 100 mL of samples were taken at different time points, filtered, and subjected to solid-phase extraction with a 3cc HLB column. The concentration was enriched 100-fold to 1 mL, and changes in endocrine disrupting toxicity during the entire process were detected.

[0093] Endocrine-disrupting toxicity was determined using luminescent yeast bioassays, according to the method described in the article "Xu T, Young A, Narula J, Sayler G, Ripp S. High-Throughput Analysis of Endocrine-Disrupting Compounds Using BLYES and BLYAS Bioluminescent Yeast Bioassays. Methods Mol Biol. 2020;2081:29-41. doi: 10.1007 / 978-1-4939-9940-8_3. PMID: 31721116." Estrogen E2 was used as a positive control, and methanol was used as a negative control. The assay was performed in a 96-well white plate. 20 μL of the positive control was added to each well, and the actual sample concentration gradient was 20 μL, 10 μL, 5 μL, 2 μL, and 1 μL, for a total of 5 concentrations. After evaporation of the methanol, 200 μL of the yeast suspension was added, and the cells were incubated at 28°C for 8-12 hours. Subsequently, the luminescence intensity of each well was measured using a multifunctional plate reader (Tecan, Austria). The EC50 value was used to characterize the estrogenic toxicity equivalence. Each sample was tested in triplicate to ensure reliability. The effect value of each sample was normalized to the percentage of the maximum effect value of the positive control E2. The dose-effect curve of the sample was fitted using logistic regression analysis. The EC50 of the sample was calculated from the dose-effect curve, and the estradiol equivalent quality (EEQ) of the sample was calculated using the following formula:

[0094]

[0095] EEQ is the estradiol equivalent of the sample (ng / L), EC50(E2) is the EC50 of the positive control estradiol (E2) (ng / L), EC50(sample) is the EC50 of the sample, and sampleEF is the enrichment factor of the sample.

[0096] Figure 4 The results showed that the engineered bacteria GC01 significantly weakened the toxicity during the degradation of NPEO, which was mainly reflected in the reduction of the peak value and the shortening of the detoxification time.

[0097] It is proved that the engineered bacteria prepared for efficient NP degradation can achieve efficient toxicity inhibition in the process of NPEO degradation. Under the condition of an initial biological inoculation rate of 5%, the toxicity peak of the engineered bacteria GC01 in the detoxification process of 10 mg / L NPEO in a simulated wastewater environment decreased by about 80% compared with wild bacteria.

However, the contents described are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and should not be considered to limit the scope of the present invention. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of the present invention should still fall within the scope of the patent coverage of the present invention.
