Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of microbial strain technology, and particularly relates to a strain of Morganella morganii and its applications. Background Technology

[0002] my country is a major producer of marine aquaculture. In nearshore aquaculture areas, to increase yields, feed is often added to the water, easily leading to severe organic loads and black, foul-smelling sediments. At the sediment-water interface in nearshore aquaculture areas, the aerobic degradation of organic matter results in a significant depletion of dissolved oxygen, causing a decrease in the water's oxidation-reduction potential (Eh). Under these conditions, sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) in the sediment produce large amounts of sulfides through sulfate respiration. These sulfides accumulate at the sediment-water interface and diffuse upwards. The toxic effects of high concentrations of sulfides severely threaten the aquaculture environment, especially benthic organisms, leading to sediment "aging" and hindering the healthy development of the aquaculture industry.

[0003] Currently, to address the "aging" phenomenon in marine aquaculture areas, especially the problem of excessively high sulfide concentrations, physical (filtration, sieving) or chemical (strong oxidants) methods are mostly used for treatment. However, these methods are prone to causing secondary pollution, and the treatment effect is difficult to sustain, easily leading to rebound. In the biological removal of sulfides, microorganisms play a crucial role in sulfide removal. To make the reaction more stable and prevent microorganisms from being lost, they are usually immobilized. These microorganisms, compared to the autotrophic microorganisms previously used for biological sulfide removal, are characterized by rapid growth and large biomass. Summary of the Invention

This strain exhibits a strong ability to remove sulfides from water bodies and can be used to remove sulfides from aquaculture water and domestic sewage.

[0008] Furthermore, the Morganella morganii JHT-1 described above has the following colony morphology characteristics: colony size 10-25 μm, colonies are round, raised, moist, milky white, and the bacterial morphology is rod-shaped under scanning electron microscopy.

[0009] Furthermore, the Morganella morganii JHT-1 was identified as a Gram-negative bacterium by Gram staining.

[0010] Secondly, this invention provides the application of Morganella morganii JHT-1 in the removal of sulfides from aquaculture water and domestic sewage.

[0011] Thirdly, the present invention provides a microbial agent for removing sulfides, the raw material of which includes the aforementioned Morganella morganii JHT-18.

[0012] Furthermore, the bacterial agent is in the form of a solid powder.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific preferred embodiments, but this does not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Experimental methods in the following embodiments that do not specify specific conditions are generally performed under conventional conditions or as recommended by the manufacturer.

[0022] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of skill in the art. The reagents and raw materials used in this invention are readily available through conventional means, and unless otherwise specified, they shall be used in accordance with conventional methods or product instructions. Furthermore, any methods and materials similar to or equivalent to those described herein may be applied to the methods of this invention. The preferred embodiments and materials described herein are for illustrative purposes only.

[0023] Example 1: Isolation, purification and identification of Morganella morganii JHT-1

[0024] 1. Enrichment and isolation of bacterial strains:

[0025] One g of foul-smelling sediment from the nearshore aquaculture area of ​​Yantai was inoculated into 100 mL of LB solid medium, with glucose added as an organic matter source (50 mg / L). The medium was incubated at 30°C for 7 days, with 0.01 mg / L sodium sulfide added daily for continuous enrichment. The enriched culture was then serially diluted and plated onto LB solid medium, and incubated at 30°C. After incubation, different purified single colonies on the plates were named and selected, and their concentrations were determined using a sulfide assay kit. The results of the bacterial assays in the enriched culture are shown in Table 1 below.

[0026] Table 1. Results of sulfide removal rate determination of bacterial strains in enrichment culture medium

[0028] Based on the sulfide determination results, strain S-7, which had the highest sulfide removal rate, was screened and purified. The strain was isolated using the plate spread method. Once the colonies reached a suitable size, they were repeatedly streaked until single strains with uniform colony morphology were obtained. Single colonies were picked and inoculated into LB broth and cultured with shaking at 30℃ and 120 r / min for 16–24 h. After cultivation, the bacterial cells were collected, and 30% glycerol was added as a cryoprotectant. After mixing, the cells were stored at -80℃ for subsequent experiments.

[0043] 2.3 Safety analysis of the strain

[0044] The safety of bacterial strains was determined using the rabbit blood agar streak method. Strains with a clear zone and a greenish-brown zone around the colony exhibited α-hemolysis (severe) and β-hemolysis (mild), respectively, indicating toxicity. Strains without changes around the colony were considered non-hemolytic, indicating safety and non-toxicity. (See also...) Figure 5 The JH-1 strain showed no hemolytic changes around its colonies, indicating that it is a non-toxic strain according to safety analysis.

[0045] Example 2: Analysis of the fermentation, immobilization and sulfide removal capabilities of strain JHT-1

[0046] The JHT-1 strain at -80℃ was spread onto LB solid medium and activated. Then, strain JHT-1 was inoculated at a ratio of 1% into 200 mL of LB medium and cultured at 120 r / min and 30℃ with constant temperature shaking for 16-24 h, adjusting the bacterial concentration to 10-100 billion CFU / mL. 100 mL of the above bacterial solution was sprayed onto 200-1000 g of wheat bran (200 mesh size) and air-dried at room temperature to prepare a solid microecological preparation.

[0047] The JHT-1 bacterial agent prepared by the above method was applied at a concentration of 1.0 × 10⁻⁶. 6 CFU / mL or 1.0×10 8 The working concentration of CFU / mL was applied to laboratory-prepared sodium sulfide (0.02 mg / L) wastewater and allowed to stand at room temperature. The removal capacity of JHT-1 for sulfides in wastewater was analyzed at 0 h, 12 h, 24 h, and 48 h. The removal rate of sodium sulfide in laboratory sodium sulfide wastewater is shown in Table 2 below.
