[0046] .

[0047] Example 3 Identification and Preservation of Strains

[0048] Strain J6 was identified as a fibrobacterium (Fibriophyte) by 16S rRNA gene sequencing (SEQ ID No. 1) and NT comparison. Cellulosimicrobium cellulans The pure culture of strain J6 was deposited at the China Center for Type Culture Collection on January 13, 2025, located at Wuhan University, No. 299 Bayi Road, Wuchang District, Wuhan City, Hubei Province, with accession number CCTCCNO:M2025107.

[0049] Example 4: Growth characteristics of strain J6

[0050] The optical density (OD) value is used to measure and reflect the growth status of bacteria, generally ranging from 0 to 4. The higher the OD value, the higher the concentration of microorganisms and the better their growth.

[0051] Strain activation and culture process: After partially thawing the strain frozen at -80℃ in an ice bath, use a sterile inoculation loop to pick up the unmelted ice crystals on the surface of the cryopreservation solution, streak the strains on the surface of LB solid medium, and incubate them upside down at 35℃ for 24 h to obtain single colonies; to eliminate potential contamination or genetic drift during cryopreservation, pick single colonies and transfer them to LB liquid medium, pre-culture at 35℃ and 150 rpm for 24 h to prepare the logarithmic growth phase seed culture.

[0052] (1) Growth curve of strain J6

[0053] The logarithmic growth phase seed culture of strain J6 was inoculated into LB liquid medium (pH 7.0, NaCl 10 g·L⁻¹) at a rate of 1% (v / v). -1 The culture was placed in a shaker at 20℃ and 150 rpm, using fresh LB liquid medium as a reference. A wavelength of 600 nm was selected, and 2 mL of bacterial solution was sampled every 2 hours to measure the optical density (OD) value. A growth curve for the strain was then plotted. Figure 4 As shown in the growth curve of strain J6, J6 enters the logarithmic growth phase after 4 hours and the stationary growth phase after 16 hours. During this process, the OD... 600 The value is approximately between 0.5 and 2.6, indicating that strain J6 is growing well.

[0054] (2) Effect of temperature on the growth of strain J6

[0055] Experiment and detection: The logarithmic growth phase seed culture of strain J6 was inoculated into LB liquid medium at an inoculum of 1% and placed at different incubation temperatures, at 150 r·min. -1 The sample was cultured at a rotating speed for 24 hours, and the absorbance at a wavelength of 600 nm was measured. The results are as follows: Figure 5As shown, within the temperature range of 10~40℃, the OD of strain J6... 600 It increases with increasing temperature; when the temperature is above 40℃, OD 600 Rapid decline; when the temperature exceeds 60℃, OD 600 The concentration dropped below 0.5. The J6 strain is adapted to a temperature range of 10~50℃, with an optimal growth temperature of 30~40℃.

[0056] (3) Effect of pH on the growth of strain J6

[0057] The pH gradient of LB liquid medium was prepared as follows: 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, and 11.0. The logarithmic growth phase seed culture of strain J6 was inoculated at a rate of 1% into Erlenmeyer flasks containing LB liquid medium at different pH values ​​and incubated at 40℃ for 24 hours. The results are as follows... Figure 6 As shown, the suitable pH range for the growth of strain J6 is 5-10, with the optimal pH being 8.

[0058] (4) Effect of salt concentration on the growth of strain J6

[0059] The logarithmic growth phase seed culture of strain J6 was inoculated into LB liquid medium at a 1% inoculation rate, and the NaCl content in the medium was adjusted to 5 g·L⁻¹. -1 10g·L -1 15g·L -1 25g·L -1 35g·L -1 50g·L -1 65g·L -1 80g·L -1 95g·L -1 The pH of the culture medium was adjusted to 8, and the medium was incubated at 30°C and 150 rpm. -1 Incubate with shaking for 24 hours. Results are as follows: Figure 7 As shown, the OD of strain J6 within the measured salt concentration range... 600 All values ​​exceeded 0.5, indicating good tolerance to salinity; the optimal salt concentration for growth was 10 g·L⁻¹. -1 .

[0060] Example 5 Heavy Metal Tolerance Analysis

[0061] (1) Resistance analysis to metallic chromium

[0062] The logarithmic growth phase seed culture of strain J6 was inoculated into LB liquid medium at an inoculum volume of 1%, with Cr in the medium... 2+The concentrations were adjusted to 0 mg / L, 100 mg / L, 200 mg / L, 300 mg / L, 400 mg / L, and 500 mg / L, respectively. The pH of the culture medium was adjusted to 7, and the medium was incubated at 30℃ and 150 rpm. -1 After 24 hours of shaking culture, the results are as follows: Figure 8 As shown. In the measured Cr... 2+ Within the concentration range, the growth curves of strain J6 all entered the logarithmic growth phase after 4 hours, and the growth curves were good, indicating that strain J6 has good tolerance to metallic chromium.

[0063] (2) Resistance to zinc

[0064] The logarithmic growth phase seed culture of strain J6 was inoculated into LB liquid medium at a 1% inoculum, with Zn in the medium. 2+ The concentrations were adjusted to 0 mg / L, 100 mg / L, 200 mg / L, 300 mg / L, 400 mg / L, and 500 mg / L, respectively. The pH of the culture medium was adjusted to 7, and the medium was incubated at 30℃ and 150 rpm. -1 Incubate under shaking for 24 hours.

[0065] The results are as follows Figure 9 As shown, the growth performance of strain J6 increased with Zn 2+ The concentration increases and then decreases. When Zn 2+ At a concentration of 100 mg / L, the growth of strain J6 was somewhat inhibited, but after 4 hours of culture, its growth curve reached the logarithmic growth phase; when Zn 2+ When the concentration reaches 200 mg / L or above, Zn 2+ It showed a significant inhibitory effect on the growth of strain J6, and its OD... 600 The value remained below 0.25 throughout the 24-hour incubation period. This indicates that strain J6 has some tolerance to zinc, but this tolerance is significantly affected by concentration. Strain J6's tolerance to Zn... 2+ The tolerable concentration is no more than 200 mg / L.

[0066] Example 6: Aerobic composting of cow manure

[0067] The J6 strain was inoculated into a compost pile containing cow dung as a substrate and wheat straw as an auxiliary material for aerobic composting. The J4 bacterial suspension (effective viable count ≥3×10⁻⁶) was then used for composting. 8 CFU / mL ~4×10 8 The dosage of the microbial agent (CFU / mL) was 0.5% of the wet weight of the compost material. A control group (labeled A) was set up without the addition of microbial agent. Before composting, the heavy metal content in the compost pile was tested, and the results are shown in Table 2.

[0068] Table 2 Heavy metal content of the compost pile before composting

[0069] .

[0070] According to the "Technical Specification for Harmless Treatment of Livestock and Poultry Manure" (GB / T 36195-2018), changes in the temperature of the manure pile can reflect changes in the activity of microorganisms within the pile, and also indicate the progress of aerobic fermentation. For example... Figure 10 As shown, the temperature of the J6 strain (J6 group) reached above 50℃ on day 3 (maximum 52.85℃), while the control group A reached above 50℃ on day 4. The high-temperature period of the J6 group lasted for 6 days, while that of the A group lasted for 5 days. During the high-temperature period, the temperature of the J6 group was about 2-6℃ higher than that of the A group. This indicates that adding the J6 strain during composting can effectively promote the compost pile to enter the high-temperature stage more quickly, which is more conducive to increasing the high temperature during composting and accelerating the composting process.

[0071] The germination index (GI) is a biological indicator reflecting the toxicity of compost to plant seeds and the degree of compost maturity. For example... Figure 11 As shown, after 18 days of composting, the GI value of group J6 reached over 130%, exceeding the 70% requirement of the "Organic Fertilizer Standard" (GB NY 525-2021); while group A was far from meeting the requirement.

[0072] Combination Figure 10 , Figure 11 As can be seen from Table 2, strain J6 still showed good applicability in the aerobic composting process of cow manure in the presence of heavy metals.
