Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of cellulose-degrading strains, specifically relating to a Bacillus subtilis strain and its applications. Background Technology

[0002] With agricultural development, straw production is constantly increasing. If large amounts of straw are not effectively managed, it will not only waste resources but also pollute the environment. Currently, straw treatment methods mainly include returning straw to the field and burning, but these methods have certain limitations. Returning straw to the field may lead to the breeding of pests and diseases, while burning will cause air pollution. Therefore, finding an efficient and environmentally friendly straw treatment method is of significant practical importance.

[0003] Cellulose is one of the main components of straw, and its degradation requires specific microorganisms. Currently, there is some research on cellulose-degrading bacteria in the field, but these strains still have some problems in practical applications, such as low degradation efficiency and poor adaptability. Therefore, screening out a highly efficient and adaptable cellulose-degrading bacterium is crucial for the resource utilization of straw. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to address at least one deficiency of existing technologies, promote the efficient resource utilization of agricultural waste (such as straw), and contribute to the development of bioenergy and the circular economy. Based on this, the first aspect of this application provides a Bacillus subtilis strain, which is classified as... Bacillus subtilis The name is Bacillus subtilis ( Bacillus subtilis B-03 was deposited at the Guangdong Provincial Center for Microbial Culture Collection on August 29, 2025, with accession number GDMCC No: 66896.

[0005] Preservation instructions: Bacterial strain name: Bacillus subtilis Classification and naming: Bacillus subtilis Strain number: B-03 Preservation Institution: Guangdong Provincial Center for Microbial Culture Collection Abbreviation for depository institution: GDMCC Address: 5th Floor, Building 59, No. 100 Xianlie Middle Road, Guangzhou Deposit date: August 29, 2025 Collection Center Registration Number: GDMCC No.: 66896 The Bacillus subtilis of this application ( Bacillus subtilis The cellulose degradation rate of B-03 can reach 75.58%, and the hemicellulose degradation rate is as high as 97.24%, significantly higher than existing cellulose-degrading Bacillus subtilis strains. Meanwhile, Bacillus subtilis (…Bacillus subtilis ) B-03 can be applied to the fermentation of non-sterilized straw, which is quite different from the related cellulose-degrading bacteria researches in the prior art which need to use sterilized straw for fermentation. Therefore, the B. subtilis (B-03) of the present application has a better application prospect in the industrial natural environment such as composting and biogas fermentation. Bacillus subtilis ) B-03 can be applied to the fermentation of non-sterilized straw, which is quite different from the related cellulose-degrading bacteria researches in the prior art which need to use sterilized straw for fermentation. Therefore, the B. subtilis (B-03) of the present application has a better application prospect in the industrial natural environment such as composting and biogas fermentation.

[0006] Therefore, the B. subtilis (B-03) of the present application, or the microbial agent thereof as an active ingredient, can be better applied in degrading cellulose and / or hemicellulose, and improve the degradation rate of cellulose and / or hemicellulose; and based on the B. subtilis (B-03), a method for degrading cellulose and / or hemicellulose is formed. Bacillus subtilis ) B-03 can be applied to the fermentation of non-sterilized straw, which is quite different from the related cellulose-degrading bacteria researches in the prior art which need to use sterilized straw for fermentation. Therefore, the B. subtilis (B-03) of the present application has a better application prospect in the industrial natural environment such as composting and biogas fermentation. Bacillus subtilis B-03 can be applied to the fermentation of non-sterilized straw, which is quite different from the related cellulose-degrading bacteria researches in the prior art which need to use sterilized straw for fermentation. Therefore, the B. subtilis (B-03) of the present application has a better application prospect in the industrial natural environment such as composting and biogas fermentation.

[0007] In the above method for degrading cellulose and / or hemicellulose, the B. subtilis is cultured in a fermentation medium; preferably, the seed liquid of the B. subtilis in the logarithmic growth phase is inoculated into the fermentation medium at an inoculation amount of 5%-10%. The fermentation medium comprises corn straw powder, peptone, sodium chloride, potassium dihydrogen phosphate and magnesium sulfate. Specifically, the content of the corn straw powder is 1.5 g / L-3 g / L, the content of the peptone is 10 g / L-15 g / L, the content of the sodium chloride is 4 g / L-5 g / L, the content of the potassium dihydrogen phosphate is 0.5 g / L-1 g / L, and the content of the magnesium sulfate is 0.5 g / L-1 g / L. If the concentration of the peptone is too high, the excessive growth of the bacteria will consume too much carbon source, reducing the resources needed for product synthesis; at the same time, it may make the pH alkaline, inhibiting the accumulation of acidic products; on the contrary, if the concentration of the peptone is too low, the amount of the bacteria is insufficient, and the product synthesis rate is low. Excessive sodium chloride will significantly increase the osmotic pressure, inhibiting the growth of non-salt-tolerant bacteria; and too low may lead to ion imbalance, affecting the membrane transport function. Potassium dihydrogen phosphate provides phosphorus source (PO4 3- ) and potassium ion (K + ), if the phosphorus is excessive (such as >2 g / L), it will change the metabolic flow in a specific fermentation; and if the phosphorus is insufficient, the growth of the bacteria is hindered, delaying the product synthesis period. Magnesium sulfate mainly provides magnesium (Mg 2+ ) and sulfur (SO4 2- ), Mg 2+ is an enzyme activator and stabilizes the ribosome structure, and the sulfur element is used for synthesizing sulfur-containing amino acids and coenzymes, and the concentration of 0.5 g / L has met the demand.

[0008] Therefore, more preferably, the content of the above corn stalk powder is 2 g / L, the content of the above protein peptone is 10 g / L, the content of the above sodium chloride is 5 g / L, the content of the above potassium dihydrogen phosphate is 1 g / L, and the content of the above magnesium sulfate is 0.5 g / L. The culture conditions are as follows: the culture time is 72 h, the culture temperature is 30 DEG C, the rotation speed is 180 r / min, and the initial pH value of the fermentation medium is 5.9-6.2.

[0009] The beneficial effects of the present application are that the present application proposes a Bacillus subtilis (B-03) with high cellulose and hemicellulose degradation rates, Bacillus subtilis The cellulose degradation rate of the B-03 can reach 75.58%, and the hemicellulose degradation rate can reach 97.24%, which is significantly higher than that of the existing cellulose Bacillus subtilis degradation bacteria. Meanwhile, the B-03 can be applied to the non-sterilized straw fermentation scene, and has strong adaptability, so it has a broad application prospect in the industrial natural environment such as composting and biogas fermentation.

[0034] II. Screening of high-cellulose-degrading strains: 1. Growth curve determination (1) Activation of strain Bacillus subtilis Bacillus subtilis B-17, Bacillus subtilis Bacillus subtilis B-03, Bacillus subtilis Bacillus subtilis B-10, Bacillus subtilis Bacillus subtilis B-13, Bacillus subtilis Bacillus subtilis B-24, Bacillus subtilis Bacillus subtilis B-01, Bacillus subtilis Bacillus subtilis B-08, Bacillus subtilis Bacillus subtilis B-19 was activated separately, and the activated bacterial solution (OD) was then used to further activate the bacterial solution. 600nm =0.8) were inoculated into the seed culture medium at a 5% inoculum rate. After 24 h of inoculation, the inoculum was added to LB medium at a 2% inoculum rate and incubated at 37 ℃.

[0035] (2) Results of growth curve measurement The growth curves of 8 Bacillus subtilis strains are shown in the figure. Figure 2 ,Depend on Figure 2 It can be seen that the growth trends of the eight Bacillus subtilis strains were basically consistent. Specifically, the first 0-5 hours after culture were the lag phase; from 5-15 hours, the cell number increased exponentially, indicating the entry into the logarithmic growth phase; and after 15 hours, the cell yield reached its peak, marking the stationary phase. During the logarithmic growth phase, the cells are well-nourished, grow rapidly, and have high metabolic activity. Furthermore, the cell properties are stable and uniform during this phase, making them more sensitive to physicochemical factors, prone to variation, and exhibiting good reproducibility. Therefore, cells in this growth phase are generally selected for treatment.

In the later stages, we should focus on the fiber degradation ability and cellulase activity of this strain.

The experimental group is added with DNS reagent (or Na2CO3 solution) to terminate the reaction after 30 min of reaction in a 50 ℃ water bath.

[0048] The results of the determination of the cellulase activity are shown in Table 5.

After the reaction is completed, the mixture is quickly cooled in an ice bath to terminate the reaction and 7 mL of deionized water is added.

[0053] Glucose loss rate sample preparation: 0.05 g of glucose is accurately weighed and added to 1 mL of 74% H2SO4 solution. The mixture is then incubated in a 30 ℃ water bath for 60 min, and the glucose is fully contacted with the sulfuric acid solution by constant stirring. After the reaction is completed, the mixture is quickly cooled in an ice bath to terminate the reaction, and 28 mL of deionized water is added for dilution.

[0054] The above sample solution is sterilized at 121 ℃ and 0.1 Mpa for 60 min. After the sterilization of the sample is completed, the monosaccharide (glucose) content in the sample is determined by high performance liquid chromatography, and the cellulose content is calculated according to the calculation method.

[0055] The conditions of high performance liquid chromatography are shown in Table 6.

By Figure 6 It is known that the Bacillus subtilis of this application Bacillus subtilis B-03 exhibits the strongest cellulose degradation ability, with a cellulose degradation rate of up to 75.78% and a hemicellulose degradation rate as high as 97.24%.

[0062] To demonstrate the strains obtained through screening in this invention Bacillus subtilis B-03's superior performance led to a parallel comparative experiment with seven existing cellulose-degrading strains preserved in the laboratory. All strains were tested for degradation ability under the same culture conditions.

[0063] The results (see Table 7) show that, under the condition that the methods for measuring the degradation rates of cellulose and hemicellulose are consistent, the strains Bacillus subtilis The cellulose degradation rate and hemicellulose degradation rate of B-03 were significantly higher than those of all control strains, reaching 75.58% and 97.24%, respectively. Bacillus subtilis B-03 improved the degradation efficiency of cellulose and hemicellulose by approximately 10.8% and 14.2%, respectively.

[0064] Table 7 Comparison of degradation rates between screened strains and existing strains

[0065] The secondary screening process breaks through the limitations of traditional single enzyme activity (such as CMCase) determination. It uses multi-enzyme synergistic determination (detecting endoglucanase, exoglucanase and β-glucosidase activities), and verifies the actual degradation rate under simulated industrial conditions using natural straw as a substrate. The screened strains can be better applied in industrial environments such as composting and biogas fermentation.
