Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of biotechnology, specifically to a strain of Bacillus fermentum and its applications. Background Technology
[0002] Soybeans, mung beans, peas, and other legumes contain a large amount of oil, with oil content ranging from 4% to 24% depending on the variety. Legume processing is a water-intensive industry; during the production of legume starch, plant protein, and other products, a large amount of unused oil remains and is discharged with the wastewater. Taking pea vermicelli production as an example, the production process mainly includes peeling, washing, soaking, grinding, thickening, extruding and cooking, cooling and freezing, thawing, and drying of peas. Except for the thickening and freezing processes, the remaining steps consume a large amount of water. This water, after the impurity content increases, is collected and treated. The collected pea wastewater contains a large amount of organic pollutants, such as protein, starch, and suspended solids, as well as nutrient pollutants, such as nitrogen and phosphorus compounds, and oily compounds. The presence of these pollutants results in a pH of 3.0-5.0 and an oil content of 5-10 g / L in the pea wastewater. Among these, oily compounds can exacerbate wastewater turbidity and increase the difficulty of treating pea wastewater.
[0003] Biogas is a clean energy source obtained through anaerobic fermentation of manure, straw, sewage sludge, and other raw materials by microorganisms. Currently, commonly used raw materials for anaerobic biogas fermentation mainly include valuable waste such as livestock and poultry manure, wastewater, and straw. These raw materials contain certain sugars, cellulose, and proteins, which can be utilized by anaerobic microorganisms to produce biogas. However, there are still some problems in the practical application of these raw materials. For example, when using soybean wastewater for anaerobic fermentation to produce biogas, the oil in the wastewater coats the surface of the microorganisms, blocking their contact with nutrients and reducing their efficiency. Furthermore, excessive oil can cause microbial toxicity. Therefore, reducing the oil content in soybean wastewater is crucial when using it for biogas fermentation.
[0004] Currently, biological methods for treating legume wastewater mainly target proteins, sugars, and cellulose, failing to effectively remove oils. Furthermore, the high protein and sugar content slows down microbial metabolism, and the decomposition of proteins gradually lowers the pH of the liquid, hindering microbial proliferation and metabolism. Therefore, providing a strain that can adapt to fluctuations in pH and organic matter content in legume wastewater is of great significance for its treatment. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a strain of *Bacillus fermentum* and its application. This strain, designated ASD02, was deposited on May 15, 2019, at the China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center (CGMCC), located at No. 3, Courtyard 1, Beichen West Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing, 100101, China; accession number: CGMCC No. 17806; its Latin scientific name is *Lactobacillus plantarum*. Bacillus glycinifermentans The strain ASD02, using legume wastewater as raw material, can utilize the protein and fiber in the wastewater as nitrogen and carbon sources for propagation, and produce acidic lipase, pectinase, and cellulase. Under controlled enzymatic hydrolysis conditions, it can directly decompose the oil in legume wastewater into fatty acids and the cellulose into monosaccharides, thus achieving the harmless treatment of legume wastewater.

[0020] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this invention, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of this invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of this invention.
[0021] In the following embodiments and comparative examples of the present invention, the bean wastewater used is non-fermented bean product wastewater, specifically pea wastewater, with a protein content of 73.5 g / L, a starch content of 10.3 g / L, a salt content (calculated as sodium chloride) of 8.5 g / L, and an oil content of 8.7 g / L.
[0022] Example 1: Isolation and Identification of Strains 1. Strains screening and purification (1) Sample preparation ① Take the biogas slurry from a well-functioning straw anaerobic biogas fermentation device in Yantai City, Shandong Province, add 100ml of sterile water, homogenize, and obtain 10 -1 suspension; ② Perform a 10-fold serial dilution on the solution from step ①, resulting in 10... -2 10 -3 10 -4 10 -5 10 -6 10 -7 ,stand-by; (2) Preparation of culture medium Solid LB medium: 10g tryptone, 5g yeast extract, 10g sodium chloride, pH adjusted to 7.0 with NaOH solution, 15g agar, bring the volume to 1L, sterilize at 115℃ for 30min, and let cool before use; (3) Plate culture and selection of single colonies: The gradient solutions prepared in step ② were inoculated onto the solid LB medium in step (2) using the spread method, and then statically cultured at 40±0.1℃ for 36 hours. Single colonies were then selected. (4) Separation and purification The selected single colonies were inoculated onto the solid LB medium in step (2) using the streak method and cultured statically at 40±0.1℃ for 30 hours. Single colonies were then picked and stored in glycerol tubes at -80℃.
[0023] 2. Identification The single colonies preserved in glycerol tubes were identified, and their 16S rDNA sequences are shown in SEQ ID NO:1, as follows: SEQ ID NO:1 Based on 16S rDNA full-length sequencing and physiological and biochemical tests, it was identified as Bacillus fermentum of soybean (Bacillus fermentum). Bacillusglycinifermentans The strain, designated ASD02, was deposited on May 15, 2019, at the China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center (CGMCC), located at No. 3, Courtyard 1, Beichen West Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing, 100101, China, with accession number CGMCC No. 17806. Its Latin scientific name is *Lactobacillus plantarum*. Bacillus glycinifermentans .
[0024] Example 2: Tolerance test of strain ASD02 (1) Salt tolerance The strain ASD02 preserved in Example 1 was inoculated in equal amounts into 10 ml liquid LB medium tubes with Durham tubes containing different salt concentrations of sodium chloride (5.0 g / L, 8.0 g / L, 10.0 g / L, 11.0 g / L, and 12.0 g / L). The inoculation volume was 1 μl, scraped from one loop. The tubes were then cultured at 40 °C with shaking for 3 days. The growth status was observed and recorded. The results are shown in Table 1. Table 1. Salt tolerance results of strain ASD02
[0025] (2) pH tolerance The strain ASD02 preserved in Example 1 was inoculated in equal amounts into 10 ml liquid LB medium tubes with Durham tubes containing different pH values: 2.5, 3.0, 5.0, 6.0, and 7.0. The inoculation amount was 1 μl, with one loop scraped off. The tubes were then cultured at 40°C with shaking for 3 days. The growth status was observed and recorded.
