Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of microorganisms, and particularly relates to a benzene series compound-degrading bacterium and its application. Background Art

[0002] Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and three isomers of xylene are collectively referred to as benzene series compounds, which are important volatile organic pollutants in the environment. Due to the continuous development of the chemical industry, more and more benzene series compound pollutants are discharged into the environment for various reasons, resulting in increasingly serious benzene series compound pollution of soil and water bodies. Benzene series compounds entering groundwater will cause serious environmental and human health impacts.

[0003] Compared with other components in petroleum, benzene series compounds have stronger water solubility, and they can cause benzene series compound pollution of surface water bodies and groundwater bodies along with surface runoff and infiltration of water bodies. Therefore, the treatment of soil and water bodies polluted by benzene series compounds is an urgent problem to be solved in the petrochemical industry. The treatment of water bodies polluted by benzene series compounds is divided into chemical, physical, and biological treatment methods. Among them, the physical method has low treatment efficiency and often requires the combined action of chemical and biological methods to achieve the treatment effect. The chemical method treats pollutants through chemical reactions, with a large amount of medicine input, high energy consumption, and secondary pollution.

[0004] There have been reports on benzene series compound-degrading bacteria, but the application of biological treatment methods for benzene series compounds is very few, and the treatment effect often fails to achieve the expected effect. Underground site pollution is mostly concentrated in the middle and lower layers of the soil vadose zone. The underground environment has characteristics such as low temperature, low dissolved oxygen, complex water-soil mixing system, and difficult degradation of benzene series compounds. The current benzene series compound-degrading bacteria have low tolerance to benzene series compounds and poor tolerance to low oxygen and low temperature conditions in the underground environment. They can only be applied to open water bodies such as aeration tanks and polluted rivers, and it is difficult to adapt to the treatment of high-concentration benzene series compounds in underground environments such as groundwater and underground soil. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the problems existing in the prior art, such as low tolerance of strains to benzene series compounds, low degradation performance, and low tolerance to low oxygen and low temperature conditions in the underground environment. The present invention provides a benzene series compound-degrading bacterium and its application. This benzene series compound-degrading bacterium can adapt to low temperature and low oxygen environments in the underground environment and is suitable for the remediation of benzene series compound pollution in groundwater environments.

[0048] The present invention provides a benzene series compound-degrading bacterium, which is Pigmentiphaga sp. HB2, and its preservation number is GDMCC NO: 63281. This strain was preserved in the Guangdong Provincial Microbial Culture Collection Center on the 5th floor of Building 59, No. 100 Yard, Xianlie Middle Road, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province on March 20, 2023.

[0049] The Pigmentiphaga sp. HB2 described in the present invention can adapt to the low temperature (15 °C) and low dissolved oxygen (<2.5 mg / L) conditions in the underground environment and can be directly used for in-situ bioremediation of groundwater environments polluted by benzene series compounds.

[0050] The Pigmentiphaga sp. HB2 provided by the present invention was obtained from a groundwater sample polluted by benzene series compounds in the northwest after enrichment, domestication, separation, purification, and mutagenesis. By using this strain to biodegrade the groundwater site polluted by benzene series compounds, the effect of site purification and remediation can be achieved. Among them, the groundwater sample polluted by benzene series compounds is a soil-water mixture.

[0051] The Pigmentiphaga sp. HB2 has a high toxicity tolerance to benzene series compounds (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene).

[0053] In the present invention, the screening method of the Pigmentiphaga sp. HB2 includes the following steps:

[0054] (1) Mix an inorganic salt medium, a trace element mixture solution, and a benzene series compound solution to obtain a liquid medium with a benzene series compound content of 50-150 mg / L;

[0055] (2) Place the collected groundwater sample polluted by benzene series compounds in the liquid medium and incubate it at a constant temperature to obtain a culture solution;

[0056] (3) Mutagenize the culture medium, and adjust the mutagenesis intensity to make the lethality of microorganisms in the culture medium reach 65-95%, so as to obtain the mutagenized culture medium;

[0057] (4) Increase the concentration of benzene series compounds in the liquid medium in step (1) by 3-5 times, then add the remaining surviving bacteria in the mutagenized culture medium, and culture for 2-5 days under the conditions of low temperature (8-15°C) and low dissolved oxygen (<2.5 mg / L) to obtain the target culture medium;

[0058] (5) Separate and purify the target culture medium, and the obtained pure strain is the benzene series compound degrading bacterium.

[0059] In a specific embodiment, in step (1), the benzene series compound is one or more of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, m-xylene, o-xylene and p-xylene.

[0060] In a specific embodiment, in step (1), the inorganic salt medium contains (NH4)2SO4, KH2PO4, K2HPO4, CaCl2, MgSO4 and NaCl.

[0061] Preferably, in the liquid medium, the content of (NH4)2SO4 is 1-4 g / L, the content of KH2PO4 is 0.3-1 g / L, the content of K2HPO4 is 0.3-1 g / L, the content of CaCl2 is 0.03-0.5 g / L, the content of MgSO4 is 0.1-0.4 g / L, and the content of NaCl is 0.05-0.3 g / L.

[0062] In the present invention, in step (1), the trace element mixture contains Zn, Mn, Co, Fe, Mo and B.

[0063] In a preferred embodiment, in the liquid medium, the content of Zn is 0.3-0.8 mM, the content of Mn is 1-3 mM, the content of Co is 0.1-0.3 mM, the content of Fe is 10-30 mM, the content of Mo is 0.2-0.6 mM, and the content of B is 0.5-2 mM. Here, mM refers to mmol / L.

[0064] In the present invention, the benzene series compound solution contains benzene series compounds and a cosolvent, wherein the cosolvent is N,N-dimethylformamide. In a preferred embodiment, the concentration of the benzene series compound solution is 20-80 g / L, more preferably 40-60 g / L.

[0065] In a specific embodiment, step (2) includes: placing the benzene series compound-polluted groundwater sample in a liquid culture medium (in the liquid culture medium, the content of the benzene series compound-polluted groundwater sample is 50-100 g / L), culturing in a constant temperature shaker for 3-7 days to obtain a mixed solution, transferring 5-10% by volume of the mixed solution to a new liquid culture medium, and culturing again for 3-7 days; repeating this process 4-6 times to obtain a culture solution.

[0066] In the present invention, in step (3), the mutagenesis treatment technology can be ultraviolet mutagenesis, microwave mutagenesis, plasma mutagenesis, etc., and preferably plasma mutagenesis.

[0067] In a preferred embodiment, in step (3), the mutagenesis intensity of the mutagenesis treatment is adjusted to make the lethality of the microorganisms in the culture solution reach 75-85%.

[0068] In a preferred embodiment, step (4) includes: increasing the concentration of the benzene series compound in the liquid culture medium in step (1) by 3-5 times, then adding the remaining surviving bacteria in the mutagenized culture solution, and culturing under low temperature (15 °C) and low dissolved oxygen (2 mg / L) conditions for 2-5 days to obtain a target culture solution.

[0069] In a preferred embodiment, in step (5), the steps of separation and purification include: diluting the target culture solution with phosphate buffer to 10 -4 , 10 -6 , and 10 -8 , sucking 150 μL of liquid from each concentration gradient and coating it on a solid culture medium plate containing benzene series compounds, with at least 3 parallels for each gradient, culturing, and then picking appropriate single colonies with an inoculation loop and culturing them in the liquid culture medium in step (1). When the culture reaches the exponential growth phase, the bacteria are coated on the solid culture medium plate again. Repeat this process 2 -3 times, and the obtained pure bacteria are the benzene series compound-degrading bacteria. Among them, the solid culture medium is prepared by adding 10 g / L of agar to the liquid culture medium in step (1).

[0070] In the screening method described in the present invention, a strain capable of efficiently degrading benzene series compounds was finally screened and named HB2.

[0071] The strain HB2 is Gram-positive and the strain morphology is bacillus.

[0072] The strain HB2 has regular colony morphology on Luria -Bertani medium (LB medium), showing white, opaque and smooth morphology.

[0073] The strain HB2 was subjected to 16S rDNA sequencing, and the sequencing results are shown in SEQ ID NO: 1. The sequencing results were subjected to BLAST alignment, and the alignment results showed that the nucleotide sequence of the 16S rDNA of strain HB2 had a homology greater than 99% with the nucleotide sequences of different strains of the genus Pigmentiphaga sp.

[0074] Based on the comprehensive physiological and biochemical characteristics and molecular biological characteristics, it was determined that the screened strain HB2 capable of efficiently degrading benzene series compounds belongs to Pigmentiphaga sp., and it was named Pigmentiphaga sp. HB2.

[0075] The present invention also provides an application of the benzene series compound degrading bacterium as described above in degrading benzene series compounds.

[0076] Furthermore, it is an application of the benzene series compound degrading bacterium in the remediation of groundwater contaminated with benzene series compounds and soil contaminated with benzene series compounds.

[0077] In the application described in the present invention, the benzene series compounds are one or more of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, m-xylene, o-xylene, and p-xylene.

[0078] The benzene series compound degradation of the present invention has good temperature tolerance, and it also has good ability to degrade benzene series compounds at low temperatures. In the present invention, the applicable temperature of the Pigmentiphaga sp. HB2 is 10 - 37 °C. Specifically, the lowest temperature for Pigmentiphaga sp. HB2 to repair the site contaminated with benzene series compounds can be 10 °C, and the highest is 37 °C.

[0079] The present invention also provides an application of the benzene series compound degrading bacterium (i.e., Pigmentiphaga sp. HB2) as described above in the preparation of products containing benzene series compounds.

[0080] Since the benzene series compound degrading bacterium has high toxicity tolerance to benzene series compounds (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene) and can efficiently degrade benzene series compounds, therefore, the product also has high toxicity tolerance to benzene series compounds and can efficiently degrade benzene series compounds.

[0081] The present invention also provides a bacterial agent, which contains the benzene series compound degrading bacterium (i.e., Pigmentiphaga sp. HB2) as described above.

[0082] The present invention does not limit the specific components in the bacterial agent, as long as it contains a bacterial suspension, fermentation broth, or culture concentrate of the benzene series compound degrading bacterium as described above. Among them, the bacterial suspension, fermentation broth, and culture concentrate of the benzene series compound degrading bacterium are used as the active components of the bacterial agent. It can be understood that the bacterial agent can also contain other strains used in combination with the benzene series compound degrading bacterium to improve the degradation effect of benzene series compounds.

[0083] In a preferred embodiment, in addition to the above active ingredients, the benzene series compound degrading bacterial agent further contains a carrier. The carrier can be a carrier commonly used in the field of bacterial agents and biologically inert.

[0084] In the benzene series compound degrading bacterial agent of the present invention, the carrier can be a solid carrier or a liquid carrier.

[0085] In a specific embodiment, the solid carrier can be an organic material, a plant material, a mineral material or a composite material. The liquid carrier can be an organic solvent, a vegetable oil or a mineral oil, wherein the organic solvent can be decane and / or dodecane.

[0086] In a preferred embodiment, the carrier is a solid carrier, more preferably one or more selected from sodium alginate, chitosan, polyacrylamide, polyvinyl alcohol, corn starch, starch, clay, talc, kaolin, zeolite and biochar. The present invention has no special limitation on the source of the carrier, and commercial products can be used, or it can be prepared by itself according to the methods well known to those skilled in the art.

[0087] The present invention also does not limit the specific dosage form of the bacterial agent, which can be selected according to actual needs. Specifically, for example, it can be a liquid agent, an emulsion, a suspension, a powder or a granule.

[0088] The present invention does not limit the specific preparation method of the bacterial agent. In a specific embodiment, the preparation method of the bacterial agent includes: fermenting and culturing the benzene series compound degrading bacteria.

[0089] During specific implementation, the benzene series compound degrading bacteria are first activated, then expanded in culture, and then fermented and cultured.

[0090] In a preferred embodiment, the preparation method of the bacterial agent further includes: mixing the fermentation broth obtained by fermentation with the carrier.

[0091] The present invention also provides a method for repairing a benzene series compound contaminated underground site. In a specific embodiment, a bacterial solution is prepared on-site at the benzene series compound contaminated site and then used for repair. During specific implementation, methods such as on-site expansion culture of strains, on-site activation of concentrated bacterial solution, and on-site activation of immobilized bacterial agent can be used to prepare the bacterial solution.

[0092] In a preferred embodiment, the method for repairing a benzene series compound contaminated underground site includes the following steps:

[0093] (1) Prepare a culture medium containing nitrogen and phosphorus elements;

[0094] (2) Add the benzene series compound degrading bacteria to the culture medium for culture until the bacterial concentration reaches 5×10 9 ~10×10 9 cell / mL to obtain a bacterial solution;

[0095] (3) Inject the bacterial solution into the underground site contaminated with benzene series compounds;

[0096] Among them, in step (2), the benzene series compound-degrading bacterium is the benzene series compound-degrading bacterium as described above (i.e., dye-degrading bacterium HB2).

[0097] In a preferred embodiment, the underground site contaminated with benzene series compounds is groundwater contaminated with benzene series compounds and underground soil contaminated with benzene series compounds.

[0098] In a preferred embodiment, in step (1), in the culture medium, the concentration of nitrogen element is 20-60 mmol / L. Specifically, for example, it can be 20 mmol / L, 30 mmol / L, 40 mmol / L, 45 mmol / L, 50 mmol / L or 60 mmol / L.

[0099] In a preferred embodiment, in step (1), in the culture medium, the molar ratio of nitrogen element to phosphorus element is 5-15:1. Specifically, for example, it can be 5:1, 6:1, 7:1, 8:1, 9:1, 10:1, 11:1, 12:1, 13:1 or 15:1.

[0100] In a specific embodiment, step (2) includes: adding the benzene series compound-degrading bacterium to the culture medium to make the bacterial concentration reach 5×10 8 cell / mL or more, culturing for 2-48 h until the bacterial concentration reaches 5×10 9 ~10×10 9 cell / mL to obtain the bacterial solution.

[0101] In a preferred embodiment, in step (2), the benzene series compound-degrading bacterium is added to the culture medium in the form of bacterial species, concentrated bacterial solution or immobilized bacterial agent.

[0102] In a preferred embodiment, in step (3), the bacterial solution is injected into the underground site contaminated with benzene series compounds at a pressure of 0.3-0.8 MPa, so that the bacterial solution diffuses circularly underground by pressure.

[0103] Please refer to Figure 1-2 , the connection line between multiple injection points is perpendicular to the direction of underground water flow. When the underground water flow is too fast (greater than 20 cm / day) or the concentration of benzene series compounds is too high, multiple rows of bacterial solutions are injected. According to the pollution depth range of the underground site, multi-layer injection can be carried out. The bacterial cells injected underground can adsorb on the soil particles in the groundwater and form a bacterial film, which can "intercept" the benzene series compound pollutants migrating downstream from the upstream through degradation to achieve the repair purpose.

[0104] In a preferred embodiment, in step (3), the radius of the injection range of the bacterial solution is 0.5 to 2 meters, and for every 1 m 2 the amount of the bacterial solution injected into each layer of the site is 50 to 200 L.

[0105] The present invention will be described in detail below through examples, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0106] Example 1

[0107] This example is used to illustrate the screening of the dye-degrading bacterium HB2 described in the present invention.

[0112] (2) Weigh the collected benzene series-contaminated groundwater sample and place it in the liquid medium. Among them, in the liquid medium, the content of the benzene series-contaminated groundwater sample is 50 g / L. After culturing in a constant temperature shaker for 3 days, a mixed solution is obtained. Transfer 5% by volume of the mixed solution to a new liquid medium and culture for another 3 days. Repeat this 4 times to obtain a culture solution.

[0113] (3) Use the culture solution for mutagenesis treatment. Adopt the plasma mutagenesis technology, with a power of 120 w, a gas flow rate of 10 SLM, and a mutagenesis time of 10 s, to achieve a lethality rate of 82%.

[0114] (4) Increase the concentration of benzene series compounds in the liquid medium in step (1) to 500 mg / L. Add the remaining surviving bacteria in the mutagenized culture solution into the liquid medium, and culture it in an anaerobic incubator at 15 °C and a dissolved oxygen condition of 2 mg / L for 3 days to obtain the target culture solution containing benzene series compound highly tolerant bacteria.

[0115] (5) Perform spread dilution streak plate isolation culture on the target culture solution. Specifically: Dilute the target culture solution with phosphate buffer to 10 -4 , 10 -6 , and 10 -8 . After sucking 150 μL of liquid for each concentration gradient, coat it on a solid medium plate containing 500 mg / L benzene series compounds, with 3 parallels for each gradient. After culturing for a certain period of time, pick single colonies with an inoculation loop and culture them in the liquid medium in step (4). After culturing for 36 h until the exponential growth phase, coat the bacteria on the solid medium plate (prepared by adding 10 g / L agar to the liquid medium in step (1)) again. After repeating 2 times, strain HB2 is obtained. Among them, the plate culture diagram of strain HB2 is as shown in Figure 3 .
