Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of agricultural microbial technology and cultivation of Chinese medicinal herbs, specifically to a method for preparing functional microbial communities by coupling targeted microorganisms with the original host microbiota and its application in ginseng. Background Technology
[0002] As a rare Chinese medicinal herb, the core of ginseng's medicinal value lies in the content of secondary metabolites such as ginsenosides. Modern intensive cultivation faces severe challenges such as continuous cropping obstacles, soil microecological degradation, and dependence on chemical fertilizers and pesticides, which directly lead to the inhibition of ginsenoside synthesis and a significant decrease in medicinal properties. At the same time, heavy metals such as cadmium, lead, and arsenic in the soil accumulate through the root system, posing a safety risk to the medicinal materials and seriously restricting the sustainable development of the ginseng industry.
[0003] In existing technologies, the application of microbial fertilizers is a common means of improving soil health. However, traditional microbial agents are mostly mechanical mixtures of single-function bacteria or limited species. After these exogenous microorganisms are introduced into the complex field soil environment, they face problems such as difficulty in colonization, low survival rate, and unstable function. The fundamental reason is that they fail to form ecological synergy with the original complex "host original microbial community" in the crop rhizosphere. This "niche isolation" makes it difficult for the beneficial functions to be exerted in a sustained and efficient manner, and it is difficult to systematically solve the quality and safety bottlenecks in ginseng cultivation.
[0004] Therefore, developing a method and products for constructing functional microbial communities that can integrate with the host environment in advance and achieve niche synergy is of great significance for improving the quality and safety of ginseng. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a method for formulating functional microbial communities through a targeted coupling of microorganisms with the original host microbial community, and its application in ginseng. This method solves the problem that traditional microbial agents are mostly mechanical mixtures of single-function bacteria or limited species. When these exogenous microorganisms are introduced into complex field soil environments, they face problems such as difficulty in colonization, low survival rate, and unstable function. The root cause is that they fail to form ecological synergy with the original and complex "original host microbial community" in the crop rhizosphere. This "niche isolation" leads to the technical problem that beneficial functions cannot be sustained and effectively exerted.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for preparing functional microbial communities by coupling targeted microorganisms with the original host microbiota, comprising the following steps: a. Construct a targeted microbial strain resource bank and screen for functional single strains; b. Purify and compound the single strain to form a compound bacterial community; c. Couple and symbiotically culture the compound microbial community with the original host microbial community extracted from the rhizosphere soil of healthy ginseng; d. The coupled cultured microbial community is mixed with a nutrient carrier to prepare a microbial agent or water-soluble fertilizer for ginseng cultivation.
[0007] Preferably, the functional single strain mentioned in step a includes at least three of Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus mucilaginosus, Bacillus brevis, Pseudomonas fluorescens, and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.
[0008] Preferably, the functional single strain includes Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus mucilaginosus, Bacillus brevis, Pseudomonas fluorescens, and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.
[0009] Preferably, the conditions for the coupled symbiotic culture in step c include: a culture temperature of 25-30℃, a pH value of 6.5-7.5, aeration culture, and a culture time of 48-72 hours.
[0010] Preferably, the concentration of each microorganism in the functional microbial community meets the following requirements: Bacillus subtilis ≥5×10 8 CFU / ml; Bacillus mucilaginosus ≥3×10 8 CFU / ml; Lateral spores ≥2×10 8 CFU / ml; Fluorescent Pseudomonas ≥1×10 8 CFU / ml; Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi ≥50 spores / gram; Host original microbiota ≥1×10 8 CFU / ml.
[0011] Preferably, the nutrient carrier in step d includes potassium humate, seaweed extract, amino acid chelated trace elements, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, and sucrose or molasses.
[0012] Preferably, in each ton of finished water-soluble fertilizer, the nutrient carrier comprises: 40-60 kg of potassium humate; 20-40 kg of seaweed extract; 5-15 kg of amino acid chelated trace elements; 15-25 kg of potassium dihydrogen phosphate; 10-20 kg of sucrose or molasses.
[0013] Preferably, the amino acid chelated trace elements include amino acid chelates of at least three elements selected from iron, manganese, zinc, copper, boron, and molybdenum.
[0014] A method for coupling targeted microorganisms with the host's original microbial community to formulate functional microbial communities for use in ginseng, wherein the application is used to increase the content of ginsenosides in ginseng and / or reduce the residual amounts of heavy metals cadmium, lead, and arsenic.
[0015] Preferably, the application increases the ginsenoside content in ginseng by more than 10% and / or reduces the residue of heavy metals cadmium, lead, and arsenic by more than 30%.
[0016] Beneficial effects This invention provides a method for formulating functional microbial communities through coupling targeted microorganisms with the host's original microbial community, and its application in ginseng. The core of this invention lies in "in vitro pre-coupling," which allows exogenous targeted bacteria to pre-adapt to the host's original microbial community under controlled conditions, forming a stable "micro-ecological consortium." After being applied to the soil, it can rapidly colonize and establish dominance, solving the industry pain point of traditional microbial agents being "active but not growing, growing but ineffective." The selected strain combination is scientific: Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus laterosporus promote disease resistance and growth, Bacillus mucilage and Pseudomonas fluorescens activate nutrients and detoxify heavy metals, and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi expand the root absorption area. After coupling with the host microbial community, they constitute a... A powerful and self-stable rhizosphere microecological engine, by improving the rhizosphere microecology and activating the plant's secondary metabolic pathways, can significantly increase the content of ginsenosides by more than 10%, fundamentally guaranteeing and enhancing the medicinal value of ginseng. The functional microbial community, through various mechanisms such as microbial adsorption, extracellular precipitation, ion competition, and valence state transformation, significantly reduces the bioavailability and accumulation of heavy metals cadmium, lead, and arsenic by more than 30%, providing key technical support for the production of safe and high-quality Chinese medicinal materials. The specific nutrient carrier is not only the "food" for microorganisms but also the "tonic" for plants, realizing the comprehensive effect of "promoting fertilizer with microorganisms, nourishing microorganisms with fertilizer, and synergistic effect of microorganisms and fertilizers", significantly improving fertilizer utilization.

[0019] Experimental design: Two ginseng plots with similar soil background values were selected as the experimental group and the control group, with three replicates in each group.
[0020] Solution: Experimental group: The water-soluble fertilizer prepared in Example 1 was used to perform root irrigation with a 500-fold diluted solution once each during the leaf expansion, flowering and fruiting stages of ginseng, with 500L applied per acre each time.
[0021] Control group: The same amount of water was applied at the same time, and other field management measures were exactly the same as those in the experimental group.
