Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of microbial technology, in particular to a phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria with dual functions of phosphorus-solubilizing and passivation, a bacterial agent prepared therefrom and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] The application of phosphorus fertilizer in cultivated land cannot be absorbed by crops because it combines with calcium, iron, aluminum and other ions to form insoluble compounds, and the agricultural land is at risk of heavy metal pollution such as cadmium and lead due to industrial activities. Although traditional chemical phosphorus-solubilizing agents can temporarily improve the availability of phosphorus, long-term use can lead to soil acidification and compaction, and may activate heavy metal ions in the soil to form bioavailable forms, thereby increasing the risk of agricultural product safety. Under this background, microbial remediation technology with the functions of phosphorus activation and heavy metal passivation has gradually become a research hotspot.
[0003] Phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria, as key regulators of the plant-soil-heavy metal interaction system, have important significance for the restoration of soil ecosystems due to their functional diversity. Existing studies have shown that excellent strains can convert insoluble phosphorus by secreting organic acids and phosphatases, and promote root development by producing plant hormones such as indole acetic acid (IAA). In addition, they can inhibit pathogenic bacteria by enhancing iron competition using siderophores, and regulate nitrogen metabolism cycles through urease. More importantly, some strains can reduce the bioavailability of heavy metals through mechanisms such as cell wall adsorption, ion transport and biomineralization. However, the currently reported phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria generally have single function and poor environmental adaptability, and often face challenges such as low survival rate and unstable function expression in field applications, especially in moderately to severely contaminated soils, where the activity of the strains is easily inhibited by heavy metal toxicity, leading to a sharp decrease in remediation efficiency.
[0004] Although some Bacillus and Pseudomonas phosphorus-solubilizing strains have been included in the microbial fertilizer registration directory, complex functional strains with high-efficiency phosphorus-solubilizing, multi-pathway growth-promoting and heavy metal passivation functions are still scarce resources. Existing bacterial agents generally have low heavy metal removal efficiency and large environmental factor interference on functional gene expression, which cannot meet the practical needs of remediation and production in contaminated farmland. Therefore, developing phosphorus-solubilizing strains with multiple mechanisms and establishing their adaptation to crop-soil systems have become key research directions to break through the current bottleneck of biological remediation technology.

[0016] Preparation of bacterial suspension: The bacterial strain preserved on slant agar was cultured on beef extract peptone medium for 24 hours. A bacterial suspension was prepared using the turbidity counting method, with a McFarland cloud meter used as the standard for turbidity comparison. The suspension was prepared to contain approximately 6 × 10⁶ bacteria per milliliter. 8 One bacterial suspension was inoculated into the culture medium (molybdenum blue colorimetric method). 50 mL of inorganic phosphorus liquid culture medium (10 g glucose, 0.3 g sodium chloride, 0.3 g MgSO4·7H2O, 0.03 g MnSO4·4H2O, 0.5 g (NH4)2SO4, 0.3 g KCl, 0.03 g FeSO4·7H2O, 10 g Ca3(PO4)2, pH 7.0-7.5, 1000 mL distilled water. Sterilized at 121℃ for 30 min) was added to a 150 mL Erlenmeyer flask. 1 mL of bacterial suspension was inoculated into the medium and cultured at 28℃ with shaking at 180 rpm. An uninoculated inorganic phosphorus culture medium was used as a blank control. The culture was incubated for 72 h, and the OD600 value was measured after standing for 15 minutes.

[0029] 3. Test treatment design The corn variety is Yunrui 319, a Yunnan highland planting variety. After surface sterilization of corn seeds with 10% sodium hypochlorite (stirring with a glass rod for 1 min) and 75% alcohol (stirring for 1 min), the seeds are placed in a 25°C constant temperature incubator for 5 days of germination. After the seeds are 2-3 cm white, they are transplanted into pots. The pots are 23.5 cm in outer diameter and 14 cm in height, and are sterilized with 95% alcohol before the experiment.
[0030] CK: control (i.e. without inoculation of phosphorus solubilizing bacteria) PSB: inoculation of phosphate solubilizing bacteria (Bacillus sp.) Each treatment was repeated 5 times, a total of 10 pots, each pot filled with 5 kg of soil, and two corn plants were retained in each pot. The pot position was changed every seven days, and the soil was watered with deionized water every two days, with the soil humidity maintained at 60-70% of the absolute humidity of the soil. 10 mL of bacterial suspension was inoculated at the time of corn seeding. After 30 days of corn growth, corn plants and rhizosphere soil were collected for relevant index determination. The indexes included plant height, stem diameter, and biomass, which were determined after 30 days of corn planting, as shown in Table 3. Figure 7
[0031] Results and analysis Table 3: Corn plant height, stem diameter, aboveground and underground biomass under different treatments Note: In the table, the results of multiple comparison variance analysis are indicated by lowercase letters, which represent significant levels at p<0.05. The same applies to the following table.
[0032] The results of Table 3 show that the phosphate-solubilizing bacterial agent can significantly increase the plant height, stem diameter, and aboveground biomass of corn.
[0033] Example Five: Analysis of the Cadmium Tolerance Effect of Phosphate-Solubilizing Bacteria on Corn 1. Experimental site The experimental site was located in the experimental greenhouse of the East Campus of Yunnan Agricultural University. The soil used in the experiment was collected from the vicinity of an abandoned mining area in Huize, Qujing. The soil type was red soil. The basic physicochemical properties of the soil (pH 5.73, organic matter 27.83 mg / kg, alkali-hydrolyzable nitrogen 82.70 mg / kg, available phosphorus 4.80 mg / kg, available potassium 109.00 mg / kg, Pb 343 mg / kg, Cd 8.99 mg / kg) were as follows: the soil was dried and sieved through a 2 mm sieve. After high-temperature wet heat sterilization at 121°C for 2 hours, the soil was left at room temperature for 3-4 days for standby use. 2. Data collection as in Example 4 3. Test strain The phosphate-solubilizing bacteria used were laboratory-isolated and preserved strains, which were identified as Bacillus. The bacterial suspension was obtained by activating the preserved strains on beef extract peptone medium for 48 hours, and then counting the turbidity to prepare the bacterial suspension, with OD 600 =1.
[0034] 4. Test treatment design CK: control PSB: inoculation of PSB bacterial suspension Each treatment was repeated 5 times, a total of 10 pots, each flower pot filled with 5 kg of soil, each flower pot retained two corn plants, the flower pot position was changed every seven days, and the soil humidity was kept at 60-70% of the absolute humidity of the soil. 10 mL of bacterial suspension was inoculated at the same time as the corn was sown. After the corn grew for 45 days, the corn plants and rhizosphere soil were collected for determination of relevant indicators. The indicators determined include the cadmium and lead contents of the aboveground and underground parts of corn, the effective state of cadmium and lead in soil, and the five-step extraction state of cadmium and lead in soil.
[0035] Table 4 Cadmium and lead contents, accumulation, transport coefficient and enrichment coefficient of corn aboveground and underground parts Table 5 Effective state of cadmium and lead in soil Table 6 Five-step extraction state of cadmium and lead in soil Tessier The results in Table 4 show that compared with the control, the Cd content, Cd accumulation and transport coefficient of the aboveground and underground parts of corn are significantly reduced, and the Cd enrichment coefficient of the underground part is significantly reduced, indicating that the phosphorus-solubilizing bacterial agent can promote the transport of Cd in plants to the aboveground part. The Pb content, accumulation, transport coefficient of the aboveground part and the Pb accumulation of the underground part are significantly reduced compared with CK. The results in Table 5 show that the effective state of lead content is significantly increased, which is consistent with the results in Table 6, that is, the residual state of lead content in soil is reduced.
