Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of industrial wastewater treatment, and in particular to a Paracoccus strain capable of efficiently degrading DMF and an application thereof. Background Art
[0002] N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF) is an important organic solvent widely used in the chemical, pharmaceutical, electronics, synthetic fiber, coatings, pesticide, and other industries. Due to its excellent solubility and stability, global annual production exceeds 500,000 tons. However, the frequent use of DMF leads to its accumulation in industrial wastewater, exhaust gas, and soil, posing serious environmental and health risks. First, it is difficult to degrade naturally in the environment, with a half-life of several weeks to months, and tends to remain in soil and water for long periods of time. Second, it can enter the human body through skin contact, inhalation, or ingestion. Long-term exposure can cause liver damage, gastrointestinal diseases, nervous system damage, and even cancer. Therefore, the treatment and reduction of wastewater containing DMF is a major issue in environmental governance.
[0003] Currently, microbial degradation is considered the most promising method for DMF treatment, but reported DMF-degrading bacteria still suffer from low degradation efficiency and difficulties in engineering applications. Most strains (such as Pseudomonas putida and Bacillus subtilis) show a degradation rate of less than 50% within 72 hours at 1000 mg / L DMF, far below the requirement for industrial wastewater treatment (>90%). Furthermore, while some strains (such as Paracoccus sp. strain DMF-3) can degrade DMF, this is only effective at low concentrations (<300 mg / L), with growth being inhibited at higher concentrations (>1000 mg / L).
[0004] Therefore, developing a strain that can efficiently degrade DMF and applying it to actual wastewater treatment has important application value for environmental water management. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a Paracoccus that can efficiently degrade DMF and apply it to the degradation of DMF in wastewater. The Paracoccus isolated by the present invention can efficiently degrade DMF into NH3-N. Subsequently, combined with the conventional "nitrification-denitrification" process, the denitrification of DMF wastewater can be achieved, and it has been applied in actual wastewater treatment.
[0006] The strain was isolated from the bottom mud of Chaohu Lake. The following method was used for isolation: 10mL of fresh bottom mud taken from Chaohu Lake was inoculated into a conical flask containing an inorganic salt culture medium (DMF concentration was controlled at 1000mg / L), and placed in a shaking incubator at 30°C and 100r / min for 1 week. During this period, samples were taken every other day to detect the TN and NH3-N values in the system. After culturing for 1 week, it was transferred to a fresh inorganic salt culture medium (DMF concentration was controlled at 2000mg / L) at a 12% inoculation rate, and the TN and NH3-N values in the system were monitored, and the culture was continued for 1 week. The transfer was repeated 4 times, and the DMF concentration was gradually increased to 4000mg / L. Take 1mL of the bacterial solution from the culture system where the bacteria are growing well, and incubate at 10 -2 to 10 -8 The bacterial solution was diluted and spread onto an inorganic salt medium containing 1000 mg / L DMF, and cultured at 30°C for 5 days. A single colony was picked and transferred to a DMF selective medium, cultured at 30°C with shaking for 5 days, and then streaked for purification and isolation to obtain the strain.
[0007] The isolated strain was sequenced by 16S rDNA, compared in the database, and a phylogenetic tree was constructed. It was finally identified as Paracoccus sp. and numbered HZLQY-2024-A0101. On November 28, 2024, it was sent to the General Microbiology Center of the China Culture Collection of Microorganisms for preservation, and obtained the preservation number CGMCCNO: 32830. The address of the preservation unit is No. 3, No. 1 Beichen West Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing, Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Postal Code 100101.
[0008] The present invention also discloses a specific application of the Paracoccus. A bacterial culture containing the Paracoccus, such as a bacterial liquid or a bacterial agent, can be used in the biodegradation treatment of DMF in industrial wastewater.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0010] (1) The strain has high tolerance to DMF and good DMF degradation ability, achieving efficient ammonia and mineralization of DMF.
[0011] (2) Without adding additional carbon and nitrogen sources, the strain can degrade more than 99% of 5000 mg / LDMF and is adaptable to wastewater with a wide pH (5.0-9.0) and temperature (15-40°C) range. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
