Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a Bacillus cereus, specifically a Bacillus cereus strain screened from heavy metal-contaminated mine soil. Bacillus cereus CMJ-As01 also involves a species containing Bacillus cereus. Bacillus cereus CMJ-As01 microbial inoculant, and Bacillus cereus involved Bacillus cereus The application of CMJ-As01 in the microbial remediation of arsenic-contaminated soil-rice system belongs to the field of heavy metal contaminated farmland soil remediation technology. Background Technology

[0002] Arsenic is a recognized highly toxic element, and arsenic pollution in rice paddies has long been a public concern. Currently, rice, as a major food crop, shows a particularly prominent accumulation of arsenic in contaminated soil, posing a significant food safety issue.

[0003] Currently, the remediation of arsenic-contaminated soil-rice systems faces multiple challenges. Traditional physical and chemical remediation techniques (such as topsoil replacement, tillage, and chelating agent leaching), while improving the distribution of arsenic speciation in soil, are costly, prone to secondary pollution, and have low economic feasibility for low- to moderately contaminated farmland. Microbial remediation, as a green, economical, and sustainable remediation method, has gained widespread attention in recent years. Microorganisms can achieve multiple mechanisms of action against pollutants such as arsenic, including passivation, transformation and reduction, and bioaccumulation, by secreting metabolites, altering the rhizosphere microenvironment, and regulating plant physiological processes. For example, a Chinese patent application (application publication number: CN 114903049A) discloses the application of a microbial metabolite, hydroxamic acid-type siderophore, as a cadmium-reducing agent in rice. Furthermore, the composition and function of the rhizosphere microbial community directly affect the absorption and translocation of heavy metals by plants. Targeted inoculation using the strong tolerance and multiple functions of microorganisms to arsenic can effectively remediate arsenic contamination in soil-rice systems. Bacillus species, due to their strong tolerance, wide adaptability, and ability to form spores, have shown great potential in the remediation of heavy metal pollution. For example, Chinese patent application (publication number: CN120843315A) discloses a strain of Bacillus cereus resistant to combined heavy metal (As) and (Cd) pollution. Furthermore, studies have shown that Bacillus cereus and related strains can adsorb and immobilize heavy metal ions such as arsenic and lead through extracellular polymeric adsorption, while simultaneously producing metabolites such as phosphate-dissolving enzymes and siderophores, improving plant nutrition and promoting plant defense mechanisms. For instance, Bacillus subtilis and other Bacillus species have been reported to possess arsenic and sulfate-reducing abilities, capable of altering the valence state and mobility of arsenic in soil. However, these studies primarily focus on the biochemical transformation mechanism of arsenic by a single microorganism, without considering the soil-plant transfer mechanism of arsenic. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the first objective of this invention is to provide a Bacillus cereus strain that can be isolated, screened, and purified from heavy metal-contaminated soil in mining areas. Bacillus cereus CMJ-As01, the Bacillus cereus Bacillus cereus CMJ-As01 not only exhibits good tolerance to arsenic, but also shows effectiveness against arsenic-contaminated soil used for rice cultivation. Bacillus cereus When CMJ-As01 is added to the rice rhizosphere, it can promote growth through multiple synergistic mechanisms, such as promoting growth through root surface iron film, arsenic subcellular compartmentalization, and regulating key soil microbial communities. It acts on multiple levels of soil, rhizosphere, and plant cells, thereby effectively blocking the translocation of arsenic from the soil to the aboveground parts of rice and significantly reducing the total arsenic and inorganic arsenic content in brown rice.
