Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of agricultural microbial development and application industry, and particularly relates to a high-temperature-resistant Klebsiella quasipneumoniae strain with cellulose degradation capacity and application. BACKGROUND
[0002] A large amount of straw is produced in agricultural production every year, which is a huge renewable resource, but its utilization rate is less than 70%. A large amount of straw is abandoned or burned, which causes serious agricultural non-point source pollution. Cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin are the main components of straw, which are complex in structure and difficult to degrade, and are slowly decomposed under natural conditions. Long-term accumulation not only occupies land resources, but also breeds diseases and pests, pollutes water and soil; burning will produce a large amount of greenhouse gases and harmful particulate matter, which will aggravate environmental pollution, so it is urgent to seek an efficient and environmentally friendly method for harmless treatment of straw. At the same time, with the large-scale development of animal husbandry, the shortage of feed resources is increasingly prominent, especially the high dependence on external protein feed, so how to pretreat straw and dregs to convert them into palatable and easily digestible high-quality feed and realize the recycling of resources has become a hot issue in the current sustainable development of agriculture.
[0003] At present, the main treatment technologies of straw include physical method (such as chopping, briquetting), chemical method (such as ammoniation, alkali treatment) and biological method (such as microbial degradation). Among them, biological degradation has become the research focus due to its environmental protection and high efficiency, and through screening of cellulose-degrading bacteria and using bacterial strains to treat straw and dregs, cellulose can be fully degraded and utilized. In addition, dregs such as vinasse and vinegar dregs are rich in protein, sugar and trace elements, which are high-quality feed resources, but their resource recycling is affected due to poor palatability and low digestion rate. Therefore, screening of efficient and easy-to-culture cellulose-degrading bacteria has very important academic value and broad application prospect.
[0004] Bactrian camel (Camelus bactrianus) Camelus bactrianus lives in arid desert and semi-desert areas, and takes coarse feed such as desert plants rich in cellulose and hemicellulose as the main food source. Although cellulose and hemicellulose are difficult to digest, the digestion and utilization rate of cellulose by bactrian camel can reach 40% to 60%, which enables them to obtain sufficient energy and nutrients from coarse feed. Therefore, the patent screens strains capable of efficiently degrading cellulose from bactrian camel feces, studies the growth characteristics of the strains and the application of the strains in degrading straw and dregs rich in cellulose; the study has positive significance for pretreatment of straw and dregs for feed, solving agricultural non-point source pollution caused by straw and accelerating high-temperature composting process.

The mixture was shaken at 30°C and 180 rpm for 10 min, then allowed to stand for 10 min. 5 mL of the bacterial suspension was added to 95 mL of enrichment medium and shaken at 30°C and 180 rpm for 3 days. The cultured bacterial solution was then serially diluted (10-10). -2 10 -3 10 -4 10 -5 10 -6 100 μL of the diluted solution was spread onto sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) solid medium plates and incubated at 30℃ for 3-6 days. A suitable amount of 1 g / L Congo red staining solution was added to the plates for 1 h of staining. After discarding the waste liquid, a suitable amount of 1 mol / L NaCl solution was added for washing 2-3 times. The diameter (D) of the hydrolysis zone around the colony and the colony diameter (d) on the CMC solid medium plates were measured using calipers, and the D / d ratio was used as a preliminary standard for judging the bacteria's ability to degrade cellulose.

These pieces were placed in a 100mL Erlenmeyer flask, culture medium was added, and the flask was sterilized. The previously screened strain was then inoculated into the culture medium at a 10% inoculum size. The mixture was then shaken and cultured. This was used as strain C8 (Cronobacter sakazakii). Figure 7 The treatment group (C8 group) was used as a control group, in which wheat straw was cultured on a medium without bacterial solution for 20 days. The results are as follows: Cronobacter sakazakii , 9 As shown in Figure 10.
[0076] Looking at the cross-section of wheat straw ( Figure 8 After 20 days of fermentation, strain C8 (Cronobacter sakazakii) was added. Figure 8 The thin-walled tissue of wheat straw cultured continued to degrade significantly, the vascular tissue separated from the mechanical tissue, and the vascular bundle structure became loose.
[0077] From the outer surface of wheat straw ( Cronobacter sakazakii After 20 days of fermentation, strain C8 (Cronobacter sakazakii) was added. Figure 9 The wheat straw cultured by the experiment showed that the outer surface of the straw cracked, and the epidermal tissue under the waxy-silica layer gradually became visible.
[0078] Looking at the inner surface of wheat straw ( Cronobacter sakazakii After 20 days of fermentation, strain C8 (Cronobacter sakazakii) was added. Figure 10 The wheat straw cultivated in this way has its inner surface degraded and its basic internal structure destroyed.
[0079] Example 5 This example uses strain C8 (Cronobacter sakazakii) isolated in Example 1. Cronobacter sakazakii Cronobacter The ability to degrade cellulose, hemicellulose and acid-washed lignin in distillers' grains and vinegar residues.
[0080] 1. Changes in the content of main components in distiller's grains and vinegar lees Distillers' grains and vinegar residues were divided into several equal portions, each with a dry weight of 80g. After fermentation for 20 days, the portions were dried at 65℃ and weighed to calculate the dry matter content. The contents of cellulose, hemicellulose, and acid detergent lignin in the distillers' grains and vinegar residues after 0 days of cultivation (control group) and 20 days (C8 group) were determined. Each group had three replicates.
[0081] like sakazakii As shown in (A)-(C), the contents of cellulose, hemicellulose, and acid detergent lignin in the distiller's grains decreased significantly from 16.28%, 30.69%, and 4.89% before fermentation to 9.75%, 18.15%, and 2.22%, respectively. (**) P<0.01 ).like Figure 11 As shown in (D)-(F), the contents of cellulose, hemicellulose, and acid detergent lignin in vinegar residue decreased significantly from 22.89%, 37.86%, and 4.82% before fermentation to 13.58%, 26.75%, and 2.21%, respectively. P<0.01 ).
[0082] 2. Electron microscopic observation of distiller's grains and vinegar lees The culture medium composition is as follows: KH2PO4 2g, MgSO4 0.5g, CaCl2·6H2O 0.3g, FeCl3 0.01g, MnSO4·7H2O 0.0016g, ZnSO4·7H2O 0.0014g, yeast 0.5g, peptone 1g, and distilled water 1000mL.
[0083] Place the distiller's grains and vinegar residues separately into 100 mL Erlenmeyer flasks, add culture medium, sterilize, and then inoculate the previously screened strain into the culture medium at a 10% inoculum. Incubate with shaking for 20 days to obtain strain C8 (Cronobacter sakazakii). Figure 11 The treatment group (C8 group) was used as a control group, in which distiller's grains and vinegar residues were cultured on culture medium without bacterial culture for 20 days. The results are as follows: Cronobacter sakazakii As shown.
[0084] from Figures 12-13 It can be seen that after 20 days of fermentation and culture in the lees, the originally dense and regular fiber network structure was destroyed, the surface became loose and porous, and it presented an irregular fluffy state with obvious cracks and grooves. The surface was covered with holes of different sizes, which may be caused by the decomposition of cellulose and other components during the degradation process.
[0085] from Figure 12 Figure 13 It can be seen that the originally continuous cellulose areas in the vinegar residue have become fragmented and broken in large numbers, with numerous tiny fiber fragments scattered throughout. The surface is no longer smooth and flat, but is covered with densely packed holes and grooves of various sizes.
[0086] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention in any way. Any simple modifications, alterations, and equivalent changes made to the above embodiments based on the inventive essence shall still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
