AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies are insufficient to effectively degrade compound pesticide residues in black soil, especially atrazine, thiamethoxam, cypermethrin, and nicosulfuron. These technologies suffer from synergistic toxicity, adsorption inhibition, and poor environmental adaptability, making it difficult to meet the remediation needs of complex pollution scenarios.
Bioremediation was carried out using Scenedesmus obliquus (CGMCC No. 6567). By inoculating the soil with nitrogen and phosphorus, the multi-enzyme cascade system of the obliquus was used to degrade pesticides. The applicable temperature range was 5℃ to 30℃, and the degradation was achieved across different pesticide categories.
Scenedesmus obliqueis can reduce soil pesticide residues to below safe standards in a short time, increase pesticide degradation flux by 305%, and achieve a degradation rate of over 85%. It is low-cost, safe, does not damage soil structure, has a wide range of applications, and is suitable for agricultural seasons throughout the year in the black soil region of Northeast China.
Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of soil pesticide residue degradation technology, specifically involving formulations for reducing pesticide residues and the application of Scenedesmus obliquus in reducing pesticide residues. Background Technology
[0002] Black soil, a globally scarce high-fertility soil resource, is a core strategic resource for ensuring national food security in Northeast my country's main grain-producing areas. However, with the development of intensive agriculture, pesticides such as atrazine (a corn herbicide), thiamethoxam (a neonicotinoid insecticide), cypermethrin (a pyrethroid insecticide), and nicosulfuron (a sulfonylurea herbicide) are widely used. Because these pesticides are chemically stable and have long half-lives (e.g., atrazine's half-life can reach 60–150 days), they easily form complex residual pollution in black soil and accumulate through the food chain.
[0003] Current pesticide pollution control technologies have significant limitations: (1) When four types of pesticides coexist, they may produce synergistic toxicity (e.g., the combined use of nicosulfuron and atrazine can increase the toxicity to aquatic organisms), exacerbating ecological risks; (2) The organic matter content of black soil is as high as 5% to 10%, and the strong adsorption effect on pesticide molecules significantly inhibits the degradation efficiency of traditional microbial remediation technologies; (3) The reported degradation strains (e.g., Acinetobacter and Pseudomonas) generally have problems such as single target (can only degrade 1-2 kinds of pesticides) and poor environmental adaptability (the activity of black soil drops sharply during the low temperature period), which makes it difficult to meet the treatment needs of complex pollution scenarios.
[0004] With the deepening of environmental protection and sustainable development concepts, green, efficient, and low-cost bioremediation technologies have become a research hotspot. Microalgae, as a type of photosynthetic autotrophic lower plant, possess advantages such as rapid growth, strong environmental adaptability, and the ability to simultaneously degrade pesticide residues, demonstrating enormous potential in pollution control. However, currently, broad-spectrum, low-temperature-resistant microalgae degradation technologies targeting typical compound pesticide pollution in black soil remain lacking. Developing microalgae remediation technologies with high degradation performance and environmental adaptability is of great significance for solving the problem of pesticide pollution in black soil, ensuring food security, and promoting ecological sustainable development.

[0056] (ii) Detection of toxic intermediates The following screening methods for toxic intermediates include: (1) Detailed sample pretreatment process QuEChERS optimization steps: (1-1) Soil crushing: Weigh 10g of air-dried black soil, add 10g of anhydrous sodium sulfate and grind into powder (pass through a 2mm sieve) to improve extraction efficiency; (1-2) Extraction and salting out: Add 15 mL of acetonitrile (containing 1% glacial acetic acid) and shake vigorously for 5 min. Then add 4 g of anhydrous MgSO4 and 1 g of NaCl, shake for 3 min and centrifuge (4000 rpm, 10 min). Take the supernatant. (1-3) Purification: Take 5 mL of supernatant into a centrifuge tube containing 150 mg PSA and 900 mg MgSO4, vortex for 2 min, centrifuge, and then filter the supernatant through a 0.22 μm filter membrane for LC-MS / MS analysis; (1-4) Derivatization (for polar intermediates): If it is necessary to detect aniline intermediates (such as atrazine deethylated derivatives), dansyl chloride (D6 labeled) can be added for derivatization to improve the mass spectrometry response; (2) Instrument parameters and scanning strategy LC-MS / MS Full Scan Mode: Chromatographic column: ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18 (1.7 μm, 2.1 × 100 mm), column temperature 40℃; mobile phase: phase A is 0.1% formic acid water, phase B is 0.1% formic acid acetonitrile, gradient elution (0-5 min, 5%-30% B; 5-10 min, 30%-80% B; 10-12 min, 80% B); Mass spectrometry parameters: Ion source: electrospray ionization (ESI+), capillary voltage 3.5 kV, ion source temperature 150 °C, desolvation gas temperature 500 °C, flow rate 1000 L / h; Scan range: m / z 50-600, scan rate 2000 Da / s, resolution 70,000 (FWHM), mass deviation ≤5 ppm; data-dependent secondary scan (ddMS) 2 ): Automatically triggers secondary fragmentation with a collision energy of 15-40 eV, used for structural analysis of unknown intermediates.
[0057] (3) APGC-HRMS supplementary detection Chromatographic column: TG-5MS capillary column (30m×0.25mm×0.25μm), temperature program (40℃ held for 2 min, then increased to 320℃ at 15℃ / min and held for 5 min); Ion source: Atmospheric pressure gas phase ionization (APGC), transfer line temperature 280℃, ion source temperature 150℃, soft ionization mode (proton transfer) is used to generate molecular ion peaks (such as [M+H]+ m / z 292.098 of thiamethoxam). Mass spectrometry parameters: scan range m / z 50-600, resolution 20,000 (FWHM), mass deviation ≤5ppm, used to verify LC-MS / MS results and reduce matrix interference.
[0058] (4) Data processing and comparison with standard samples (4-1) Database construction: Establish a standard database containing target pesticides (atrazine, thiamethoxam, etc.) and their known metabolites (such as thiazolidin and deethylatrazine), and store retention time, accurate mass-to-charge ratio, characteristic fragment ions and abundance ratio.
[0059] Examples: Thiazolamide [M+H]+ m / z 169.043, characteristic fragment ion m / z 125.022 (losing SO2); deethylated atrazine [M+H]+ m / z 186.087, fragment ion m / z 158.061 (losing CO2).
[0060] (4-2) Screening Procedure: Target analyte screening: Extract ion chromatograms (EIC) using MassLynx software, setting the extraction window to ±5 ppm. Compare the retention time of standards and fragment ions. If the match is ≥85% and the signal-to-noise ratio (S / N) is ≥3, the result is considered positive. Non-target analyte screening: Peak extraction is performed on the full scan data. The data is compared with the MassBank and HMDB databases using Compound Discoverer software, combined with elemental composition prediction (e.g., C). 10 H 14 The precise mass number of ClN5O2S (m / z 305.068) is used to infer the structure of the potential intermediate. False positives are eliminated by spiking suspected peaks with standards. If the retention time is consistent with that of fragment ions, it is confirmed as the target intermediate. If they are inconsistent, matrix interference is eliminated by analyzing the isotope distribution pattern of high-resolution mass spectrometry (such as the M+2 peak of Cl).
[0061] Using the above-mentioned detection method for pesticides in soil (full scan mode (m / z 50-600) + standard comparison), the toxic intermediates (atrazine toxic intermediates: deisopropylatrazine, hydroxyatrazine, cyanuric acid; thiamethoxam toxic intermediates: N-nitroguanidine, thiamethoxam; cypermethrin toxic intermediates: 3-phenoxybenzoic acid, dichlorophenoxybenzoic acid; nicosulfuron toxic intermediates: 2-chloro-N,N-dimethylnicotinamide, sulfonamide carbamate) in the soil of each experimental group in the normal temperature group were screened at 28 days of incubation, as well as the toxic intermediates (thiamethoxam-thiazolidinyl and atrazine-deethyl derivatives) in each experimental group in the low temperature group at 45 days of incubation. The results showed that no known toxic intermediates (thiamethoxam metabolites thiazolidinyl and atrazine deethyl derivatives) were detected in any of the experimental groups in the normal temperature and low temperature groups; the final products were all mineralized into CO2, H2O, and Cl. - SO2 2- and NO3 - Inorganic substances, etc.

The specific methods are as follows: 1) Detection of the proportion of bioavailable pesticides (1) Tenax-TA resin (particle size 60-80 mesh, purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, USA) was soaked in methanol for 24 hours before use, rinsed with distilled water until neutral, and dried at 60°C for later use; the extraction container was a 50mL centrifuge tube (with a polytetrafluoroethylene liner cap). (2) Weigh 10.0g of soil sample that has passed through a 2mm sieve into a centrifuge tube, add 0.5g of Tenax-TA resin and 20mL of 0.01mol / L CaCl2 solution (as extraction medium), place in a constant temperature shaker, and extract by shaking at 25℃ and 200r / min. Remove the centrifuge tube at 1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 12h, 24h, 48h, and 72h, respectively, centrifuge at 3000r / min for 10min, collect the supernatant; at the same time, add an equal amount of fresh CaCl2 solution and continue shaking extraction; (3) The pesticide concentration in the supernatant at each time point was determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS, model 7890A-5975C, Agilent Technologies, USA). The total amount extracted cumulatively is the amount of bioavailable pesticide. The formula for calculating the proportion of bioavailable pesticide is: (amount of bioavailable pesticide / total pesticide residue in soil) × 100%. The determination of the total pesticide residue in soil is performed in accordance with the "Gas Chromatography Method for the Determination of DDT and HCH in Soil" (GB / T14550-2003).
[0063] (ii) Humic acid-pesticide binding test method The determination of humic acid-pesticide binding capacity was performed using an alkaline dissolution-centrifugation method combined with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The specific steps are as follows: (1) Weigh 5.0g of soil sample, add 50mL of 0.1mol / L NaOH solution, shake and extract at 25℃ for 1h, centrifuge at 4000r / min for 15min, collect the supernatant (containing humic acid), repeat the extraction twice, and combine the supernatants; (2) Add 1 mol / L HCl to the supernatant to adjust the pH to 1.0, let stand for 24 h to precipitate humic acid, centrifuge at 3000 r / min for 10 min, and discard the supernatant; wash the precipitate 3 times with 0.01 mol / L HCl, add 20 mL of methanol and sonicate for 30 min (power 300 W), centrifuge at 4000 r / min for 10 min, collect the extract, repeat the extraction twice, combine the extracts and make up to 50 mL; (3) The pesticide concentration in the extract was determined by HPLC (model 1260 Infinity, Agilent Technologies, USA). The chromatographic column was a C18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm), the mobile phase was methanol-water (volume ratio 70:30), the flow rate was 1.0 mL / min, and the detection wavelength was set according to the characteristics of the target pesticide (e.g., 210 nm for organophosphorus pesticides). The formula for calculating the humic acid-pesticide binding amount is: (total mass of pesticide in the extract / dry weight of soil sample), and the result is expressed as "mg / g".
[0064] The test results are shown in Table 6 below.
[0065] Table 6. Soil bioavailability and humic acid-pesticide binding rates in each treatment group , As shown in Table 6 above, the proportion of bioavailable pesticides in the soil treated in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the pesticide control group without the use of Scenedesmus obliquus, increasing by about 108%. At the same time, the amount of humic acid-pesticide binding in the soil treated in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the pesticide control group without the use of Scenedesmus obliquus, decreasing by about 63%.
[0066] (iv) Low-temperature fluidity test The expression levels of antifreeze proteins (AFPs) in *Scenedesmus obliquus* at room temperature and low temperature were measured using DPH fluorescence polarization assay. The antifreeze protein ELISA kit (model: AFP-ELISA-Kit, purchased from Shanghai Enzyme-Link Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) was used for detection) and cell membrane fluidity (using Scenedesmus obliquus cells in logarithmic growth phase, washing 3 times with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.4), and adjusting the cell concentration to 1×10⁻⁶). 6 Cells / mL; Add DPH fluorescent probe to cell suspension at a final concentration of 10 μmol / L and incubate at 37°C in the dark for 30 min; Measure fluorescence polarization degree (P value) using a fluorescence spectrophotometer (model: F-7000, purchased from Hitachi, Japan). The excitation wavelength is 360 nm and the emission wavelength is 430 nm. Measure the fluorescence intensity in the parallel and perpendicular directions respectively, and calculate the P value according to the formula (P=(I∥-GI⊥) / (I∥+GI⊥), where G is the correction factor)).
[0067] The test results are shown in Table 7 below.
[0068] Table 7. Expression levels of antifreeze proteins (AFPs) and cell membrane fluidity of Scenedesmus obliquus at ambient and low temperatures. , Note: The lower the P value, the stronger the membrane fluidity (0.15-0.25 is the ideal metabolic activity range); in addition, the cell membrane is a single-layer membrane structure that surrounds the protoplasm of algal cells. It is mainly composed of lipids and proteins. It is not only a barrier for the exchange of substances and signal transduction between cells and the external environment, but its fluidity also directly affects the efficiency of cell material transport, energy conversion and metabolic reaction. Especially in low temperature environment, the stability of protoplasmic membrane fluidity is the key to maintaining the normal physiological function of algal cells.
[0069] As shown in Table 7 above, the Scenedesmus obliquus in this invention can express antifreeze proteins at 10°C, and the cell membrane fluidity is within the ideal range of metabolic activity.
[0070] (v) Soil microecological balance test The following tests use the Shannon diversity test method for microorganisms: (1) Extraction of total DNA from soil microorganisms: The soil genomic DNA extraction kit, model: FastDNA® Spin Kit for Soil, was purchased from MP Biomedicals, USA. The operation was strictly performed in accordance with the kit instructions. (2) PCR amplification: In addition to the primers and amplification system mentioned above, the PCR reaction conditions were as specified in the "High-throughput Sequencing Method for Determining Soil Microbial Diversity" (NY / T3425-2019): 95℃ pre-denaturation for 3 min; 95℃ denaturation for 30 s, 55℃ annealing for 30 s, 72℃ extension for 45 s, for a total of 35 cycles; 72℃ final extension for 10 min. (3) Sequencing and data analysis: The operation procedure of the high-throughput sequencing platform refers to the standard operating procedure of the Illumina MiSeq system (Illumina official document, Document#15039740v01); the specific parameter settings of the QIIME software (version 1.9.1) refer to its official user manual (http: / / qiime.org / install / index.html). In the following tests, the method for testing the relative abundance of Actinobacteria was as follows: OTU taxonomic annotation based on high-throughput sequencing data was performed using RDPClassifier (version 2.11), and the database used was the Silva 132 rRNA gene database (https: / / www.arb-silva.de / ). The specific annotation method was referred to the "Microbial Taxonomic Annotation Process" chapter in "Guide to High-Throughput Sequencing Data Analysis" (China Environmental Science Press, 2018, authors: Li Juan et al.). In the following example, the earthworm survival rate test method is as follows: (1) Pretreatment of test substrate: After the soil samples are collected, they need to be sieved through a 2mm sieve to remove impurities. The pH value (required to be 6.0-7.5) and organic matter content (required to be 2-10%) should be adjusted in accordance with Appendix A of the "Chemical Pesticide Environmental Safety Evaluation Test Guidelines Part 11: Acute Toxicity Test of Silkworm" (GB / T31270.11-2014). (2) Standard soil composition: In accordance with GB / T31270.11-2014, it is a mixture of quartz sand (20-50 mesh), kaolin and peat (volume ratio 7:2:1), with peat organic matter content ≥80%, purchased from KSB AG, Germany.
[0071] Following the methods described above, the Shannon diversity and relative abundance of actinomycetes in the soil of each experimental group in the room temperature group were tested after 28 days of cultivation, and the fluctuation rate was calculated. The earthworm survival rate was also observed. The results are shown in Table 8 below.
[0072] Table 8. Changes in soil microorganisms and earthworm survival in each experimental group after 28 days of cultivation. , As can be seen from Table 8 above, the *Scenedesmus obliquus* in this invention does not disrupt the soil microecological balance and complies with the GB / T31270-2014 standard.
[0073] IV. Test of pesticide degradation flux per unit area of black soil The following methods were used to test the pesticide degradation flux in black soil in this embodiment of the invention: Experimental group: *Scenedesmus obliquus* (CGMCC No. 6567) was inoculated (inoculation amount: 8 × 10⁻⁶). 6 (1 cell / gram of black soil) was placed in black soil containing atrazine to simulate the actual farmland environment.
[0074] Control group: Black soil containing atrazine was treated using traditional methods (natural degradation treatment).
[0075] Aseptic conditions control To eliminate interference from other microorganisms, the experiment was conducted in a sterile environment: (1) The black soil samples were sterilized at high temperature (121℃, 30 minutes).
[0076] (2) The obliquely shaped Scenedesmus was pre-cultured in a sterile medium to the logarithmic growth phase to ensure pure culture.
[0077] Environmental parameter simulation and experimental conditions strictly simulate the ecological environment of black soil: (1) The temperature is controlled at 25±1℃, the humidity is 75%-85%, and the light cycle is 12 hours of light / 12 hours of darkness (simulating the natural day-night rhythm).
[0078] (2) Adjust the soil moisture to 60% of the saturated water holding capacity to maintain microbial activity.
[0079] High-efficiency detection technology The following methods were used to quantitatively analyze pesticide residues in soil: (1) Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS / MS): Detection of polar pesticides such as atrazine and thiamethoxam, with a sensitivity of 0.01-0.05 mg / kg; (2) Gas chromatography-electron capture detector (GC-ECD): Analyzes pyrethroid pesticides such as cypermethrin, with a detection limit as low as 0.001 mg / kg; (3) Solid phase extraction (SPE): Soil extracts are purified by HLB column or QuEChERS kit to reduce matrix interference.
[0080] Time gradient sampling Samples were collected periodically during the experimental period (days 0, 3, 7, 14, and 21), with three parallel samples collected each time to determine pesticide residues. The concentration of atrazine in the black soil was determined using HPLC-MS / MS.
[0081] Degradation rate formula The degradation flux (mg / (kg・d)) is calculated using the following formula: , Where C0 is the initial pesticide concentration (mg / kg), C_t is the residual concentration after t days, and t is the time (days).
[0082] The improvement over traditional methods is calculated using the following formula: , , The test results showed that the degradation flux of pesticide (atrazine) per unit area of black soil reached 35.2 mg / (kg·d), which is 305% higher than that of the traditional method (8.7 mg / (kg·d)).
