Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of microbial pollution degradation and environmental pollution technology, specifically to a mandelin-degrading bacterium SYY40, its culture method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Amygdalin, also known as enzymatic glycoside, is mainly found in plants of the Rosaceae family, such as peach, apricot, and plum. Amygdalin is a cyanogenic diglycoside with the molecular formula C1. 20 H 27 NO 11 The structural formula of amygdalin is phenylhydroxyethylcyano-β-D-glucose-6-β-D-glucosinolate, which is readily soluble in water. Under the action of relevant enzymes or microorganisms, amygdalin can decompose to produce arbutin, which further produces toxic substances such as amygdalin, benzaldehyde, and hydrogen cyanide. Benzaldehyde is easily oxidized to benzoic acid, and when benzoic acid and hydrogen cyanide accumulate in the soil to a certain level, they can affect plant growth, thus causing continuous cropping obstacles. Therefore, if plant waste containing amygdalin (such as almond shells) is not properly disposed of, amygdalin may enter the soil or water bodies and release cyanide through decomposition, posing a threat to the ecosystem and human health.
[0003] Traditional physicochemical degradation methods (such as boiling in hot water) suffer from low degradation efficiency, incomplete degradation, and a tendency to cause secondary pollution. Early biodegradation methods (such as Aspergillus niger extracellular enzymes) faced challenges such as difficulty in obtaining and purifying them, and high costs. In contrast, microbial degradation and remediation technology offers advantages such as high degradation rate, rapid and efficient operation, low cost, and no secondary pollution, making it a more environmentally friendly solution.
[0004] However, current research on the degradation mechanism and application of amygdalin-degrading bacteria is still relatively limited, and further exploration and development of efficient, safe, and low-cost microbial degradation technologies are needed. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention provides a mandelin-degrading bacterium SYY40, its culture method, and its application. Through enrichment culture, domestication, isolation, and purification, a strain of bacteria with tolerance and degradation ability to mandelin in peach root soil is obtained, thereby solving a key problem in the treatment of mandelin pollution.

[0037] Example 1: Isolation and Screening of Amygdalin-Degrading Bacteria
[0038] A method for culturing amygdalin-degrading bacterium SYY40 includes the following steps:
[0039] S1. Enrichment and domestication of amygdalin-tolerant bacteria:
[0040] The strains were screened from the suspension of peach root soil samples using a screening medium (inorganic salt medium) containing an initial concentration of 50 mg / L amygdalin, and then subjected to three rounds of transfer and enrichment culture acclimatization using an inorganic salt basic medium containing 50 mg / L amygdalin.
[0041] Before use, add 1 mL / L of trace element stock solution and 0.2 mg / L of FeSO4 to the inorganic salt culture medium.
[0042] S2. Isolation and purification of amygdalin-degrading bacteria:
[0043] Bacterial cultures capable of degrading amygdalin were streaked onto LB agar plates for isolation and purification, yielding a single amygdalin-degrading strain. The morphology of the purified strain SYY40 colonies on solid culture medium is as follows: Figure 1As shown. The colonies are generally pale yellow with a creamy white center. The colonies are nearly circular, with a uniform and smooth surface. The hyphae grow more densely in the central area, forming a clear aggregation effect; while the colony edges show a more loose growth pattern. The colony boundaries are clear and intact, with no obvious spiky protrusions or irregular gaps observed. The morphology observed under a microscope is as follows. Figure 2 As shown, the bacteria are rod-shaped, with a length of about 1-3 μm and a width of about 0.5 μm, and the bacteria are independent of each other.
[0044] Example 2: Identification method of amygdalin-degrading bacteria SYY40
[0045] Genomic DNA of amygdalin-degrading bacterium SYY40 was extracted using a bacterial genome extraction kit, and its 16S rRNA gene was amplified by PCR. The upstream and downstream primers for the 16S rDNA were universal primers for bacteria.
[0046] Finally, the obtained PCR products were subjected to electrophoresis on a 1% agarose gel. Based on the electrophoresis results, the PCR products were sent to Beijing Qingke Biotechnology Co., Ltd. for DNA sequencing to obtain its 16S rDNA sequence (SEQ ID NO.1). The sequence was then compared with the NCBI database, and the comparison results showed that the bacterium belongs to the genus *Pseudomonas*, and its phylogenetic tree is as follows. Figure 3 As shown. This strain was thus identified as *Pseudomonas* sp. and named *Pseudomonas* SYY40. The strain is deposited at the China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center (CGMCC), located at No. 3, Courtyard 1, Beichen West Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing, on May 19, 2025, with accession number CGMCC NO. 34596.
[0047] Example 3: Degradation effect of strain SYY40 on amygdalin in inorganic salt culture medium
[0048] In this embodiment, a final concentration of 50 mg / L amygdalin was added to an inorganic salt culture medium after diluting the stock solution. Strain strain SYY40 was inoculated at a 1% (v / v) inoculation rate (100 μL of bacterial suspension per 10 mL of culture medium). Simultaneously, an inorganic salt culture medium with a final concentration of 50 mg / L amygdalin was added as a blank sterile control. The cultures were incubated at 30°C and 220 rpm for 72 h in a constant temperature shaker. The degradation of amygdalin by strain SYY40 was detected by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), and the degradation rate was calculated using the following formula: Degradation rate (%) = (C0 - C...) / (C0 - C0 ... X ) / C0×100%;
[0049] Among them, C0 and C X These represent the concentrations of the control sample and the microbial-treated sample, respectively.
[0050] Experimental results showed that strain SYY40 achieved a 100% degradation rate of amygdalin within 48 hours. Figure 4 The growth of bacteria was characterized by measuring the OD600 of the culture medium using an ELISA reader. Strain SYY40 began to grow significantly after 24 hours of culture, reached the logarithmic growth phase at 30 hours, and ended the logarithmic growth phase at 60 hours. Figure 5 ).
