Therefore, the large-scale popularization and application of the microbial agent can greatly reduce the use amount of chemical fertilizers and reduce a series of adverse effects caused by the overuse of chemical fertilizers.

The curing time described in this invention can be any value within the range of 20-30 hours, such as 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, or 30 hours. Excessive curing time will result in an overly compact microsphere surface, hindering the release of the bacterial strain; insufficient curing will lead to incomplete microsphere collapse and premature release of the strain. The curing process also includes drying; the drying temperature can be any value within the range of 30-40°C, such as 30, 32, 35, 38, or 40°C. Too low a drying temperature will result in an excessively long drying time, while too high a temperature will significantly reduce the activity of the bacterial strain.

[0026] To further illustrate the present invention, the following detailed description of a compound microbial preparation and its preparation method provided by the present invention is provided in conjunction with embodiments, but these should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] NA solid medium: Dissolve 10g peptone, 3g beef extract, 5g sodium chloride and 15g agar in 1000mL distilled water, pH 7.3±0.1.

[0028] NA liquid culture medium: Dissolve 10g of peptone, 3g of beef extract and 5g of sodium chloride in 1000mL of distilled water, pH 7.3±0.1.

[0030] Example 1 1. Activation of bacterial strains and preparation of liquid inoculum 1) Activation of strains: Bacillus cereus G2 strain and Bacillus microsporum G5 strain were transferred to NA medium for activation and incubated in a 30℃ incubator for 48 hours for later use.

[0031] 2) Preparation of liquid microbial inoculum: Single colonies of G2 and G5 activated in step 1) were inoculated into NA liquid culture medium. The liquid culture medium was maintained at 28℃ for 48 hours at a rotation speed of 180 rpm to obtain seed cultures of Bacillus cereus G2 and Bacillus pumilus G5 for later use. The G2 and G5 seed cultures were inoculated at an inoculation rate of 2% (1:1) into the optimized G2+G5 composite microbial liquid culture medium and maintained at 28℃ for 24 hours at a rotation speed of 180 rpm to obtain the G2+G5 composite microbial liquid inoculum.

[0032] 2. MPN package The prepared G2+G5 bacterial culture was transferred to a centrifuge tube and centrifuged at 9000×g for 3 min. The supernatant was discarded, and the precipitate in the centrifuge tube was resuspended with ultrapure water. The tube was then centrifuged again at 9000×g for 3 min. This centrifugation and resuspension process was repeated three times. After the final centrifugation, the OD of the microbial culture was measured. 600 Adjust the OD to 3.0-4.0 and set aside. Add 1.6 g / L tannic acid (TA) aqueous solution and 0.24 g / L FeCl3 aqueous solution to adjust the OD. 600 The microbial culture was added to the concentrated bacterial culture. In this experiment, 12.5 mL of TA aqueous solution and 12.5 mL of FeCl3 aqueous solution were added, and the volume of the microbial culture was 25 mL. The resulting suspension was vigorously shaken for 20 seconds, and then 50 mL of MOPS buffer (twice the volume of the concentrated bacterial culture) was added to form a stable MPN shell. The liquid was transferred to a centrifuge tube and centrifuged at 9000×g for 3 min. The supernatant was discarded, and the precipitate was resuspended with ultrapure water. The above centrifugation and resuspension process was repeated 3 times to completely remove residual MOPS buffer. After the last centrifugation, the supernatant was discarded, and the liquid was resuspended with ultrapure water to 100 mL to obtain the composite liquid bacterial agent for later use.

[0033] Example 2 The procedure was carried out as described in Example 1, except that in step 2, the 1.6 g / L tannic acid aqueous solution was replaced with a 1.5 g / L gallic acid monohydrate (GA) aqueous solution.

[0034] Example 3 The procedure was carried out in accordance with Example 1, except that in step 2, the 1.6 g / L tannic acid aqueous solution was replaced with a 2.7 g / L epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) aqueous solution.

[0035] Experiment 1: Germination Experiment 1) Seed pretreatment: Select plump and uniform fenugreek seeds, disinfect them with NaClO for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, then rinse them several times with distilled water until they are no longer sticky. After washing, place them in a beaker and soak them in distilled water for 5 hours to allow the seeds to fully absorb water before use.

[0036] 2) Experimental Design: The control group consisted of only sterilized water, while salt stress was simulated using a 50 mM NaCl aqueous solution, and drought conditions were simulated using a 10% (w / v) PEG6000 solution. The G2+G5 bacterial suspension and the suspensions from Examples 1-3 (i.e., G2+G5 bacterial suspensions encapsulated with different MPNs) were diluted to OD. 600 Value 1 is reserved. A completely randomized design was adopted, with a total of 10 treatment groups: ① Control (CK): only 5 mL of sterile water; ② Control + dry salt (CK+SD): only a mixture of 50 mM NaCl aqueous solution and 10% (w / v) PEG6000 solution (total volume 5 mL); ③ G2+G5 bacterial solution not coated with MPN (B): 1 mL of G2+G5 bacterial solution and 4 mL of sterile water; ④ G2+G5 bacterial solution not coated with MPN + dry salt (B+SD): the solution obtained by resuspending 1 mL of G2+G5 bacterial solution after centrifugation and discarding the supernatant in 50 mM NaCl aqueous solution and 10% (w / v) PEG6000 solution (total volume 5 mL); ⑤ Using TA-Fe 3+ MPN-coated G2+G5 bacterial suspension (TA+B): Mix 1 mL of the compound liquid bacterial agent from Example 1 with 4 mL of sterile water; ⑥ Use TA-Fe 3+ MPN-encapsulated G2+G5 bacterial suspension + dry salt (TA+B+SD): The solution obtained by resuspending 1 mL of the compound liquid bacterial agent from Example 1 (after centrifugation and discarding the supernatant) in 50 mM NaCl aqueous solution and 10% (w / v) PEG6000 solution (total volume 5 mL); ⑦ Using GA-Fe 3+ MPN-coated G2+G5 bacterial suspension (GA+B): 1 mL of the compound liquid bacterial agent from Example 1 and 4 mL of sterile water were mixed; ⑧ GA-Fe was used. 3+ MPN-encapsulated G2+G5 bacterial suspension + dry salt (GA+B+SD): The solution obtained by resuspending 1 mL of the compound liquid bacterial agent from Example 2 (after centrifugation and discarding the supernatant) in 50 mM NaCl aqueous solution and 10% (w / v) PEG6000 solution (total volume 5 mL); ⑨ Using EGCG-Fe 3+ MPN-encapsulated G2+G5 bacterial suspension (EGCG+B): 1 mL of the compound liquid bacterial agent from Example 3 was mixed with 4 mL of sterile water; ⑩ EGCG-Fe was used. 3+MPN-encapsulated G2+G5 bacterial suspension + drought (EGCG+B+D): The solution obtained by resuspending 1 mL of the compound liquid bacterial agent from Example 3 (after centrifugation and discarding the supernatant) in 50 mM NaCl aqueous solution and 10% (w / v) PEG6000 solution (total volume 5 mL). Fully hydrated, plump, and uniform medicinal plant seeds were selected, their surface moisture was dried, and they were evenly placed in petri dishes (9cm×9cm×3cm) lined with double-layered sterile filter paper and containing 5 mL of different concentration treatment solutions (①~⑩) for germination. Water was added daily by weighing to a constant volume to maintain a constant treatment solution concentration.

[0037] 3) Growth index determination: Seedlings that had germinated 10 days after seedling emergence were collected. The lengths of the plumule and radicle under different treatment conditions were measured using a ruler, and the thickness of the plumule and radicle was measured using vernier calipers. The fresh weight and dry weight of the seedlings were measured using an analytical balance. Each test was performed in triplicate. The test results are shown in Table 1 and [Table data missing]. Figure 1 .

[0038] Table 1. Effects of different MPN species on growth indices of fenugreek seedlings under drought and salt stress.

[0039] As shown in Table 1, regardless of drought and salt stress, the seedlings treated with MPN-encapsulated G2+G5 strain synthesized with GA showed improved performance in all measured indicators compared to other treatment groups. Therefore, encapsulating G2+G5 strain with MPN synthesized with GA can, to some extent, mitigate the impact of drought and salt stress on fenugreek seedling growth, and its effect is superior to directly using G2+G5 compound bacterial solution and MPN synthesized with the other two polyphenols.

[0040] Example 4 1. Activation of bacterial strains and preparation of liquid bacterial agents 1) Activation of bacterial strains: Bacillus cereus G2 and Bacillus pumilus G5 were activated on NA solid medium and incubated in a 30℃ incubator for 48 hours for later use.

[0041] 2) Preparation of liquid bacterial agent: After activation in step 1), single colonies of G2 and G5 were picked and inoculated into NA liquid medium, respectively. After incubation at 28℃ and 180 rpm / min for 24 hours, seed culture was obtained for later use. The G2 seed culture and G5 seed culture were inoculated at an inoculation amount of 2% into the optimized G2+G5 composite microbial liquid medium, that is, 100 mL of medium contained 2 mL of G2 seed culture and 2 mL of G5 seed culture. The mixture was incubated at pH 5.0, incubation temperature of 28℃, and liquid volume of 100 mL / 250 mL (100 mL of medium in a 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask) for 24 hours to obtain G2+G5 composite bacterial solution.

[0042] 2. MPN-encapsulated strains The prepared G2+G5 composite bacterial culture was transferred to a centrifuge tube and centrifuged at 9000×g for 3 min. The supernatant was discarded, and the precipitate in the centrifuge tube was resuspended in ultrapure water and centrifuged again at 9000×g for 3 min. This process of resuspending in ultrapure water and centrifuging was repeated 3 times. After the final centrifugation, the G2+G5 composite bacterial culture was concentrated to OD. 600 The pH value is 3.0–4.0, and the volume is 25 mL, to be used immediately. First, add 12.5 mL of 1.5 g / L GA aqueous solution to the concentrated G2+G5 composite bacterial solution. Then, add 12.5 mL of 0.24 g / L FeCl3 aqueous solution to the mixture of GA aqueous solution and concentrated bacterial solution. Shake the resulting suspension vigorously for 20 seconds, then add 50 mL of MOPS buffer to form a stable MPN shell. Transfer the liquid to a centrifuge tube and centrifuge at 9000×g for 3 min. Discard the supernatant and resuspend the precipitate with ultrapure water. Repeat the process of resuspending with ultrapure water and centrifuging 1–3 times to remove residual substances, obtaining composite bacterial solutions with 1–3 layers respectively. After the final centrifugation, discard the supernatant and resuspend the liquid with ultrapure water to 100 mL for later use.

[0043] 3. Preparation method of G2+G5 composite microbial immobilized microspheres encapsulated by MPN 1) Preparation of immobilized microspheres: 2% (w / v) bentonite (2g of bentonite added to 100mL of the above 100mL bacterial solution) was added to a G2+G5 composite bacterial solution encapsulated with MPN and the mixture was incubated on a shaker at 200rpm for 12h to form a microfilm. 1.5% (w / v) sodium alginate (dissolved in 100mL of water at a ratio of 1.5g of sodium alginate) was completely dissolved in water at approximately 80℃ and cooled to room temperature for later use. 1.5% (w / v) chitosan (dissolved in 100 mL of 1% acetic acid solution at a ratio of 1.5 g chitosan) was first dissolved in 1% acetic acid for later use. The dissolved chitosan was then adjusted to pH 5.5 using 2% (w / v) NaOH solution (dissolved in 100 mL of pH-adjusted chitosan solution at a ratio of 2 g chitosan to 100 mL of water). 3% (w / v) CaCl2 (dissolved in 100 mL of pH-adjusted chitosan solution at a ratio of 3 g calcium chloride to 100 mL of the adjusted chitosan solution) was then dissolved in the above-mentioned pH 5.5 chitosan solution. In this experiment, the total mass of chitosan and sodium alginate was 3% (w / v). The sodium alginate solution cooled to room temperature was mixed with the bacterial solution containing bentonite at a volume ratio of 4:1 until homogeneous. Then, the mixture was added dropwise to the chitosan and CaCl2 mixture at a drip rate of 100 rpm using a peristaltic pump (using a No. 14 peristaltic pump hose), and the mixture was spherical under stirring. After cross-linking for 24 hours, the immobilized microspheres were removed, washed three times with purified water, and dried at 35°C for later use. The morphology of the wet microspheres is shown below.Figure 4 The morphology of the dried pellets is shown in the figure. Figure 5 .

[0044] 2) Process Optimization: Five factors affecting the microbial immobilization effect were identified: the number of MPN layers, the mass fraction of bentonite (adsorbent) in the composite microbial agent, the mass ratio of chitosan to sodium alginate (encapsulation agent), the volume ratio of bacterial solution to encapsulation agent, and the mass concentration of CaCl2 solution. An orthogonal array design with five factors and three levels was used for the experimental scheme (see Table 2) to precisely explore the optimal method for immobilizing G2+G5 composite microorganisms.

[0046] Example 2: Preliminary evaluation of G2+G5 composite microbial immobilized microspheres encapsulated in MPN Using wet particle size, dry particle size, expansion degree, encapsulation rate, bacterial survival count, expansion degree, mechanical strength, degradation rate and sustained release effect as evaluation indicators, the optimal process for G2+G5 composite microbial immobilization microcapsules was screened. The performance and structure of the G5 microcapsules prepared by the optimal process were evaluated and characterized. The orthogonal experimental results and range analysis are shown in Tables 3-5.

[0047] (1) Determination of wet and dry particle size of microspheres: Take the prepared wet microspheres, wipe the surface moisture with filter paper, and then measure their diameter with vernier calipers. Each treatment should have no less than 30 microspheres. Take the dried microspheres (dried until their weight no longer changes) and measure their diameter with vernier calipers. Each treatment should have no less than 30 microspheres.

[0048] (2) Determination of microcapsule swelling: The swelling rate of the microcapsules in physiological saline was determined by the gravimetric swelling method. 0.2 g of dried microcapsules (weight W0) were immersed in 0.9% sterile saline solution for 24 hours and then removed. Excess water was wiped off with tissue paper and the volume and weight W1 were measured immediately. The swelling rate was calculated as swelling rate (ER, %) = (W1-W0) / W0 × 100%, with three replicates for each treatment.

[0049] (3) Determination of microsphere encapsulation rate: The encapsulation rate is the percentage of the total number of viable bacteria in the immobilized microspheres relative to the total number of viable bacteria before encapsulation. The total number of colonies A (1.18 × 10⁻⁶) before encapsulation was obtained by dilution coating. 12 Weigh the total mass M1 of the immobilized microspheres after preparation (CFU / mL). Take out about 1g of microspheres, accurately weigh their mass M2, grind them thoroughly, and dissolve them in physiological saline. Calculate the colony count using the plate dilution coating method, and obtain the colony count B of the immobilized microspheres. Encapsulation efficiency (Y)% = (B×M1) / (A×M2)×100%, with three replicates per treatment group.

[0050] (4) Determination of viable bacteria count in microspheres: 0.2 g microspheres were soaked in 0.9% physiological saline and expanded at room temperature for 24 h. Then they were thoroughly ground to release the bacteria in the microspheres into the solution. The viable bacteria count was calculated using the plate dilution coating method. Each treatment was repeated three times.

[0051] (5) Determination of mechanical strength of microspheres: 100 immobilized microspheres were placed in a 250mL conical flask, 100mL of purified water was added, and the mixture was shaken at 200rpm and 30℃ for 24h. The proportion of intact microspheres to the original total number of microspheres was then determined.

[0052] (6) Determination of microcapsule degradation: 0.5 g of dried microcapsules were weighed and placed in a 10-20 μm ultra-fine mesh nylon bag and buried 5 cm below the soil surface. The soil sample was the soil where the microcapsules would be applied. The soil was kept at room temperature (25-30℃) for 35 days, and distilled water was added if necessary to maintain moisture saturation. The initial weight of the dried microcapsules was defined as Wa. The buried sample was dug out every 7 days, washed with distilled water, dried to a fixed weight, and weighed as Wb. The degradation rate was calculated using the formula: Degradation rate (DR, %) = (Wa−Wb) / Wa×100%. Each treatment was repeated three times, and the results are shown in Table 6.

[0053] (7) Determination of sustained-release effect of microcapsules: 0.2 g microcapsules were soaked in 100 mL of 0.9% physiological saline and stored at 28 °C. Samples (1 mL) were taken out every 7 days and the viable bacteria count in the solution was determined by plate dilution spread method. The results were counted for a total of 35 days, with three replicates for each treatment. The results are shown in Table 7.

[0059] (1) According to Tables 3-5, the mass fraction of bentonite has the greatest impact on the wet and dry particle size of the immobilized microspheres. The wet particle size of the immobilized microspheres in all treatment groups is approximately 2.94-4.04 mm, and the dry particle size is approximately 1.21-1.86 mm. As the mass fraction of bentonite increases, both the wet and dry particle sizes of the immobilized microspheres show an increasing trend. When the diameter of the microspheres is larger, they have a larger internal space, which can accommodate more microorganisms and usually have stronger structural stability.

[0060] (2) According to Tables 3-5, the factor that has the greatest impact on the expansion degree of immobilized microspheres is the amount of bacterial solution added, i.e., the volume ratio of bacterial solution to encapsulating agent. When the volume ratio of bacterial solution to encapsulating agent is 3:4 and 1:2, the expansion degree is significantly lower than that when the volume ratio is 1:4. When the expansion degree of the immobilized microspheres loaded with bacterial strains is small, their structure is compact and not easily broken, and the loaded strains can be more uniform, avoiding an excessive number of strains in some areas. Microspheres with smaller expansion degree under the same strain loading amount require less carrier material, which can effectively reduce the experimental cost. However, when the expansion degree of the microspheres is too large, it will lead to a loose microsphere structure, reducing the immobilization effect and the effective loading rate of the strains.

[0061] (3) According to Tables 3-5, the factor that has the greatest impact on the encapsulation rate of immobilized microspheres is the mass fraction of bentonite. The encapsulation rates of different experimental groups vary greatly, but when the mass fraction of bentonite is 6%, the encapsulation rate is significantly better than that of 2% and 4% bentonite, and the highest encapsulation rate can reach 78.71%.

[0062] (4) Viable cell count is the most effective indicator for evaluating the bacterial load of capsules. It can not only verify the reliability of the maximum encapsulation rate, but also reflect the degree of protection of bacteria by the immobilized microspheres after drying. According to Tables 3-5, the factor that has the greatest impact on the viable cell count of immobilized microspheres is the mass fraction of bentonite. As shown in the figure below, when the mass fraction of bentonite is 6%, the viable cell count is significantly higher than that of bentonite with 2% and 4%, reaching a maximum of 36.8 × 10⁻⁶. 8 CFU / g. This suggests that as the mass fraction of bentonite in the adsorbent increases, the number of adsorbed bacterial strains increases, and the protective ability for these strains also increases.

[0063] (5) According to Tables 3-5, the experimental results show that the mechanical strength of all treatment groups is 100%.

[0064] (6) According to Tables 3-6, the mass fraction of bentonite has the greatest impact on the degradation rate of immobilized microspheres. Within 35 days, microspheres with different material ratios all exhibited varying degrees of degradation. Microspheres containing 2% bentonite showed the fastest degradation rate, followed by those containing 4% bentonite, while those containing 6% bentonite showed the slowest degradation rate. Analysis revealed that bentonite is a layered silicate clay with a high specific surface area and strong adsorption capacity. As its content increases, it forms a denser physical barrier inside the microspheres, hindering the contact and decomposition of the carrier materials such as sodium alginate by microorganisms and enzymes in the soil, thus delaying degradation. Bentonite is rich in cations such as Na+. + Ca 2+ Bentonite can form additional cross-linking points with the carboxyl groups of carrier materials such as sodium alginate through ion exchange, thereby enhancing the chemical stability of the microparticles and making them more difficult to hydrolyze or oxidatively degrade. In clay soils, bentonite has a high similarity to soil minerals, further reducing the reactivity of the microparticles with the environment; while in sandy soils, the water retention capacity of bentonite can reduce the erosion of the microparticles by moisture fluctuations.

[0065] (7) Based on Tables 3-5 and 7, it can be concluded that the number of MPN layers has the greatest impact on the sustained-release effect of immobilized microspheres. Microspheres with 1 and 2 MPN layers reached their release peaks at approximately 21 and 28 days, respectively, and the number of viable bacteria decreased continuously with increasing time. Although microspheres with 3 MPN layers had the lowest release rate in the first 7 days, the strains inside the microspheres continued to release continuously until 35 days. As the number of MPN layers increases, its protective ability for the strains also increases, so even after the strains are released outside the microspheres, the MPN can still provide good protection for the strains. However, this does not mean that the more MPN layers, the better, because too many MPN layers will inhibit the contact between the strains and external substances, thereby inhibiting the activity of the strains.

[0066] In summary, this scheme uses wet particle size, dry particle size, expansion degree, encapsulation rate, viable cell count, mechanical strength, degradation degree, and sustained-release effect as evaluation indicators for the preparation process of G2+G5 composite microbial immobilized microspheres. Variance and range analysis of the orthogonal experimental results shows that bentonite at 6% (w / v) of the composite microbial agent should be used as the adsorbent, chitosan:sodium alginate at a mass ratio of 1:2 (total mass concentration of 3%) as the encapsulating agent, and CaCl2 at a mass concentration of 3% as the crosslinking agent.

[0067] Example 5 The procedure was carried out as described in Example 4, with the difference being that the parameters for the number of MPN layers, the mass fraction of bentonite (adsorbent) in the composite bacterial agent, the mass ratio of chitosan to sodium alginate (encapsulating agent), the bacterial solution to encapsulating agent (volume ratio), and the mass concentration of the CaCl2 solution are shown in Table 8. The resulting wet microspheres and dried microspheres are shown in Table 8.Figure 4 and 5 .

[0068] Table 8. Experimental Design of 6 Groups of Microcapsules with Different Formulations

[0069] Experimental Example 3 To further investigate the effects of the number of MPN layers and the volume ratio of bacterial solution, chitosan, and sodium alginate on the immobilized microspheres, the above six sets of experiments were designed for in-depth investigation. The methods for determining the encapsulation rate and viable cell count are described in Experiment Example 2, and the results are shown in Table 9.

[0070] Table 9. Encapsulation efficiency and viable cell count of microcapsules with different formulations in 6 groups.

[0071] Table 8 shows that when the bacterial solution to encapsulating agent ratio (volume ratio) is 3:4, i.e., the encapsulation rate and viable cell count of groups 4 to 6 are significantly higher than when the bacterial solution to encapsulating agent ratio (volume ratio) is 1:2. Therefore, groups 4 to 6 microspheres were selected for further evaluation.

[0072] The wet particle size, dry particle size, expansion, mechanical strength, degradation degree and sustained release effect of these three groups of microspheres were evaluated using the determination method of Experiment Example 2. The results are shown in Tables 10-12.

[0073] Table 10. Wet particle size, dry particle size, expansion degree and mechanical strength of microspheres with different formulations in three groups.

[0074] Table 11 Data on the degradation rate (%) of microspheres in the three experimental groups

[0075] Table 12. Release rates of the three experimental groups (lg·CFU·mL) -1 Data Table

[0076] Tables 10-12 show that the wet particle size, dry particle size, swelling degree, mechanical strength, and degradation degree of the three groups of microspheres are all within the normal range. This is conducive to the adsorption and survival of the strain in the microspheres and can provide a certain degree of sustained release. According to the release rate graph, although there is no significant difference in the peak release of the three groups of microspheres, the microspheres coated with three layers of MPN are significantly better in terms of sustained release than those without MPN or with two layers of MPN. The tables of encapsulation rate and viable cell count show that the viable cell count decreases significantly with the increase of the number of MPN coating layers. MPN coating on the surface of the strain affects the contact between the strain and nutrients on the solid culture medium surface, thus affecting the growth of the strain on the solid culture medium. The magnitude of this effect is significantly correlated with the number of MPN layers, which leads to a lower final viable cell count.

[0077] Example 6 The process was carried out in accordance with Example 4, except that the optimal process for preparing G2+G5 composite microbial immobilized pellets based on metal phenolic network encapsulation was as follows: MPN encapsulation layer number 3, bentonite mass fraction of composite bacterial liquid volume 6%, encapsulation agent mass ratio (chitosan:sodium alginate) 1:2, bacterial liquid to encapsulation agent volume ratio 3:4, and CaCl2 mass concentration 3%.

[0078] Test Example 4 The method used in Example 2 was employed for determination. The wet particle size of the microspheres in Example 6 was approximately 3.66 mm, the dry particle size was approximately 1.62 mm, the expansion margin was approximately 4.72, the encapsulation rate was 74.22%, and the viable cell count was 4.75 × 10⁻⁶. 9 It has a CFU / g content, a mechanical strength of 100%, and is biodegradable in soil with good slow-release properties.

[0079] Performance evaluation and structural characterization of G2+G5 composite micro-immobilized pellets: 1. Determination of shelf life of micro-pellets under optimal processing conditions In Example 6, the microspheres were placed in sterile EP tubes and stored at 4°C and room temperature for 6 months. 1g of the microspheres were accurately weighed and soaked in 0.9% physiological saline. The microspheres were expanded at room temperature for 24 hours and then thoroughly ground to completely release the bacteria in the microspheres into the solution. The viable count was determined by plate dilution coating method.

[0080] The experimental results show that after 180 days of storage at 4℃, the number of viable bacteria still reached 3.87 × 10⁻⁶. 9 Even after 180 days of storage at room temperature with a CFU / g or higher, the number of viable bacteria remains at 6.82 × 10⁻⁶. 8 CFU / g or higher.

[0081] 2. Characterization and evaluation of the appearance and structure of microspheres The outer surface and cross-sectional morphology of the dried microspheres from Example 6 were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy. The results are shown in [Figure number missing]. Figure 6 .

[0082] Depend on Figure 6 It can be concluded that a and b represent the outer surface morphology of the microspheres, while c and d represent the cross-sectional morphology of the microspheres. Figure a shows that the microspheres have an approximately spherical structure with a particle size of about 1.66 mm. The surface morphology is irregular and rough, and the surface is a continuous and dense composite wall film. Figure b shows that the surface of the microspheres has obvious protrusions and wrinkles, which is conducive to the slow release of strains G2 and G5. Figures c and d show that the cross-section of the microspheres, i.e., the interior of the microspheres, exhibits a porous and relatively rough structure, suitable for the attachment of the strains.

Bentonite at 3617.91 cm⁻¹ -1 The peak at 1632.53 cm⁻¹ is related to the -OH stretching vibration. -1 The peak at 1421.62 cm⁻¹ is related to the bending vibration of HOH. -1 The peak at that location may be related to CO3. 2- It is related to asymmetric stretching vibration, at 998.25 cm. -1 The peak at 790.39 cm⁻¹ is related to the stretching vibrations of the Si-O-Si (silicon-oxygen tetrahedral framework).

These two peaks are key characteristics that distinguish sodium alginate from neutral polysaccharides. -1 The nearby peaks represent the stretching vibrations of COC and C-OH. The infrared spectrum of the prepared microcapsules almost covers all the characteristic absorption peaks of bentonite, chitosan, and sodium alginate, suggesting that the prepared microbial pellets are simply a physical mixture with no chemical reaction between the excipients, and therefore the microcapsules are chemically stable.

There was no significant difference between the solid microspheres coated with 0 layers of MPN and those coated with 3 layers of MPN in terms of plant height, root length and fresh weight. However, the solid preparation coated with 3 layers of MPN was significantly better than the solid preparation coated with 0 layers of MPN in terms of stem diameter, root diameter and dry weight.

After the plant grows its first true leaf, maintain the water content at 35%~45% of saturation to maintain drought. Distribute the solid microspheres at a rate of 0.1g / (100g). -1 Add the bacteria near the seeds at a ratio of 1×10⁻⁶. 9 CFU·g -1 .

[0091] Select plump seeds after soaking and plant 5 seeds in each pot containing 400g of mixed soil. The experimental conditions were natural light cultivation. Water was added to constant weight using the weighing method, and samples were taken after 30 days.

[0092] 2) Measurement methods: The lengths of the plumules and radicles of seedlings under different treatment conditions were measured using a ruler, the thickness of the plumules and radicles was measured using vernier calipers, and the fresh and dry weights of the seedlings were measured using an analytical balance.

Figure 8 , 9 ( Figure 8 For fenugreek seedlings that have been cultivated for 10 days, Figure 9 (This refers to morning glory seedlings that have been cultivated for 30 days).

[0093] Table 14 Effects of different types of solid microspheres on growth indicators of morning glory seedlings under drought and salt stress

[0094] From Table 14 and Figure 8 , 9 It can be seen that the treatment groups with solid microspheres coated with 0 layers of MPN and 3 layers of MPN can improve the growth indicators of morning glory seedlings under drought and salt stress compared with other treatment groups. However, the solid microspheres coated with 3 layers of MPN are significantly better than the solid microspheres coated with 0 layers of MPN in terms of stem diameter, root diameter and dry weight.
