[0039] The inoculation amount of the inorganic salt liquid medium degradation bacteria is 2% of the total system volume after inoculation, and the OD value of the bacterial suspension is OD 600 =0.8.
[0040] Luria-Bertani medium (LB): Tryptone 10 g / L, yeast extract 5 g / L, sodium chloride 10 g / L, pH 7.2; solid medium added agar 15 g / L.
[0041] Isolation and identification of strains in Example 1 (1) Isolation and screening of strains The rhizosphere soil samples of peanut with more than 10 years of long-term mulching in Shandong Province were collected, 200 g of which were stored in a brown glass bottle (250 mL) in the dark after being washed and dried, and were transported to the laboratory at 4°C. 10 g of the sample was weighed from the sampling site and added to 100 mL of MSM medium (PAEs concentration was 0 / 5 / 20 mg / L, the same below), which was placed in a shaking bed (30°C, 180 rpm) for 7 days. Then 2% of the enriched culture solution was inoculated into 100 mL of fresh MSM medium, and the gradient pressure acclimation method was used, and the transfer was performed every 7 days. The substrate PAEs was added gradually, i.e. the concentration gradient was 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, and 160 mg / L, and the operation was repeated.
[0042] After acclimation, a small amount of culture solution was taken with an inoculation needle and streaked onto solid MSM medium containing 5 / 20 mg / L PAES, and incubated in a constant temperature (30°C) incubator in the dark. The growth condition of the colonies on the plate was observed at regular intervals (every 24 h), and single colonies with good growth were selected and repeatedly streaked onto plates until they were purified. The purified single colonies were inoculated into 100 mL of LB liquid medium, and LB liquid medium without inoculation was used as a control. When the bacterial concentration reached OD 600 =0.8 (absorbance of the solution at 600 nm wavelength without centrifugation), 1 mL of bacterial suspension (resuspended in PBS buffer) was inoculated into 100 mL of MSM liquid medium containing 5 / 20 mg / L PAES, and the same conditions without inoculation were used as a control. After 7 days of incubation in a constant temperature shaking incubator (30°C, 180 rpm), the substrate residual amount was measured, and the degrading bacteria were selected. The above experiments were repeated four times.
[0043] Single colonies showing degradation effect were streaked again onto solid MSM agar plates (5 / 20 mg / L PAES), repeating the above steps until pure colonies with a uniform colony morphology were obtained. Following the purification standards in microbiological experiments, single colonies repeatedly streaked onto plates were picked up with an inoculation needle and transferred to a glass slide in a clean bench for microscopic examination to confirm their uniform bacterial shape. The purified strain was inoculated into LB liquid medium for overnight activation. 1.5 mL of the bacterial solution was centrifuged at 8000 rpm for 3 min, and then transferred to fresh, identical medium at a 1% inoculation rate (v / v). This enrichment and subculturing was performed four times. The degradation effect of the fifth-generation enrichment solution was assessed using GC-MS. The bacterial suspension effectively degrading PAEs was diluted and spread on LB solid medium containing 5 / 20 mg / L PAEs (DBP+DEHP), and incubated at 30°C for 5 days. Single colonies from the plates were picked and transferred to 10 mL of liquid LB test tube medium, then stored and transferred to 100 mL of MSM containing 5 / 20 mg / L PAEs (DBP+DEHP), and incubated at 30°C for 5 days. The final PAEs-degrading strain WXX_04 was obtained.
[0044] Morphological observation: WXX_04 was spread onto solid LB medium and incubated upside down at 30℃ for 3 days. Colonies were round, pale yellow, smooth, moist, opaque, and had neat edges. After four days, they almost completely covered the plate. See [link / description]. Figure 1 .
[0045] Electron microscopy sample preparation and observation: Step 1: Collect bacterial cells: Centrifuge the culture medium at 8000 rpm for 3-5 min, discard the supernatant, and add 2.5% glutaraldehyde fixative. The second step is fixation and washing: Fix with 2.5% glutaraldehyde for 4 h or overnight at 4°C. During this period, wash with 0.2 M PBS buffer (pH 6.8) 3 times, 15-20 min each time. The third step is dehydration and drying: treat with 30%, 50%, 70%, 85%, and 95% ethanol for 15-20 minutes in sequence, and finally treat with 100% ethanol for 10-15 minutes each time twice before freeze drying; Step 4: Conductivity treatment and measurement: First, firmly attach the sample to the conductive adhesive and ensure good grounding. Then, use an ion sputtering instrument or vapor deposition instrument to uniformly spray a layer of gold or platinum conductive film several nanometers to tens of nanometers thick on the sample surface. The purpose is to eliminate the sample charge effect, enhance the secondary electron emission signal, and obtain a high-quality image. After the treatment is completed, use SU8220 for instrument measurement.

[0060] (4) Bacterial genome circle map The genome circle map can comprehensively show the characteristics of the genome, such as the distribution of genes on the positive and negative strands, the COG functional classification of the genes, the GC content, the genomic island, the homologous genes, etc. Various information (here referring to the GC content, the GC bias, the tRNA / rRNA, the COG annotation, the base modification and the restriction modification system related enzyme) is integrated and drawn in a genome circle map, and the drawing software used is Circos.
[0061] Figure 8 The genome circle map of the strain WXX_04 is shown, the outermost circle of the circle map is the identification of the genome size; the second and third circles are the CDS on the positive and negative strands, and different colors represent different COG functional classifications of the CDS; the fourth circle is the rRNA and tRNA; the fifth circle is the GC content; the outward red part represents that the GC content of the region is higher than the average GC content of the whole genome, and the higher the peak value represents the greater the difference from the average GC content, and the inward blue part represents that the GC content of the region is lower than the average GC content of the whole genome, and the higher the peak value represents the greater the difference from the average GC content; the innermost circle is the GC-Skew value, the specific algorithm is G-C / G+C, which can assist in judging the leading strand and the lagging strand, generally the GC skew of the leading strand > 0, and the GC skew of the lagging strand < 0, and can also assist in judging the replication origin (cumulative offset minimum value) and the termination point (cumulative offset maximum value), which is most important for circular genomes.
[0062] The total length of the genome of the strain WXX_04 is 3,819,870 bp, the GC content is 72.16%, and it contains 3580 CDS. 2919 CDS are annotated by COG; 503 CDS are annotated by GO; 2629 CDS are annotated by KEGG.
[0063] In addition, the strain WXX_04 is also involved in the metabolic degradation pathways of various different types of compounds, a total of 110 genes are involved in 16 exogenous compound metabolic pathways, and there are rich exogenous substance degradation genes, and the specific degradation information is shown in Table 3, so it can be speculated that there are a large number of unknown function genes in the strain WXX_04 which can be further analyzed and mined.
