Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of microbial inoculants, specifically to a special inoculant for edible fungi mixing and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of edible mushroom cultivation, the quality of substrate pretreatment directly determines the survival rate, growth rate, and yield of subsequent edible mushrooms. Substrate mixing is the core step in substrate pretreatment. In edible mushroom cultivation, the quality of substrate pretreatment directly affects the survival rate, growth rate, and final yield of edible mushrooms. Currently, the industry mainly uses chemical fungicides (such as carbendazim and chlorothalonil) and traditional microbial agents for pretreatment. Although chemical fungicides can kill bacteria quickly, they can only target and kill some harmful microorganisms and cannot improve the physicochemical properties of the substrate. For example, they cannot soften coarse fibers, lignin, and other difficult-to-degrade components, nor can they create a beneficial microbial environment for edible mushroom growth. Additional resources are needed to optimize the substrate state afterward. There is also a risk of residue, as chemical agents may adhere to the substrate and accumulate with the growth of edible mushrooms. This not only affects the taste and quality of the mushrooms but may also fail to meet food safety standards, restricting the market circulation of the products. Long-term use can easily lead to drug resistance in miscellaneous bacteria, requiring increased agent concentration or replacement of the agent type to maintain the effect, increasing cultivation costs and operational complexity.
[0003] Traditional microbial agents, such as ordinary organic material composting agents, are relatively green, but they generally have limited applications, are mostly only suitable for fermented substrate cultivation, have low composting efficiency, and cannot meet the needs of semi-cooked and cooked substrate cultivation for mixing agents. They also have slow temperature rise after mixing, short high temperature duration, weak ability to decompose difficult-to-degrade components such as coarse fiber and lignin in the culture medium, and unstable effects in actual operation due to vague usage instructions, such as not specifying the reactivation time of the agent. To address these issues, we propose a special microbial agent for mixing edible fungi and its preparation method. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a special microbial agent for edible fungi mixing and its preparation method. It solves the problems of traditional microbial agents, such as ordinary organic material composting agents, which, although relatively green, generally have limited applicability, are mostly only suitable for fermented material cultivation, have low composting efficiency, cannot meet the needs of semi-cooked and cooked material cultivation for mixing agents, have slow temperature rise after mixing, short high temperature duration, weak ability to decompose difficult-to-degrade components such as coarse fiber and lignin in the culture medium, and have unstable effects in actual operation due to vague usage instructions, such as not specifying the reactivation time of the agent.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a special microbial agent for edible fungi mixing, comprising a composite functional strain of Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus megaterium, Aspergillus oryzae and actinomycetes, wherein the microbial agent is prepared by liquid fermentation and propagation followed by adsorption onto a solid carrier and drying.
[0006] A method for preparing a special inoculant for edible fungi substrate includes the following steps:
[0007] (1) Preparation of primary liquid shake flask mother culture: Prepare liquid culture medium, sterilize it with high pressure steam at 121℃ and 0.1MPa for 40 minutes, cool it to below 25℃, inoculate the preserved pure strain under aseptic conditions, and culture it in a shaker at 23-25℃ and 180-200rpm for 4-6 days to obtain primary liquid mother culture with viable count ≥1×10^8CFU / mL.
[0008] (2) Preparation of secondary liquid culture medium: Prepare liquid culture medium, dispense it into fermenter, filling the tank with 70%-80% liquid volume, sterilize it with high pressure steam at 121℃ and 0.1MPa for 2 hours, cool it to 25℃, inoculate it with primary liquid mother culture at an inoculation rate of 10% (v / v), and culture it for 4 days at 25℃, stirring speed of 80-100rpm and aeration rate of 1:0.8-1.2vvm to obtain secondary liquid culture medium with viable count ≥5×10^8CFU / mL.
[0009] (3) Preparation of tertiary liquid culture: Prepare liquid culture medium, dispense it into fermenter with a liquid volume of 70%, sterilize it with high pressure steam at 121℃ and 0.1MPa for 2 hours, cool it to 25℃, inoculate it with secondary liquid culture at an inoculation rate of 15% (v / v), and culture it for 2-3 days at 25℃, stirring speed of 100-120rpm and aeration rate of 1:1.2-1.5vvm to obtain tertiary liquid culture with a viable count ≥1×10^9CFU / mL.
[0010] (4) Preparation of solid inoculum:
[0011] a. Carrier pretreatment: Dry and sterilize the grass powder at 120℃ for 30 minutes to reduce its moisture content to below 10%, and then cool it to below 30℃.
[0012] b. Inoculation: In a sterile mixer, use high-pressure spray (pressure 0.3-0.5MPa) to evenly spray the tertiary liquid inoculum onto the pretreated grass powder. The inoculation amount is 20%-30% of the grass powder mass, so that the moisture content of the grass powder increases to 30%-40%, and the mixture is evenly mixed.
[0013] c. Air drying and shaping: The inoculated material is air dried at 35-40℃ and wind speed of 1.5-2m / s for 4-6 hours, and turned regularly during the period until the moisture content of the material drops to below 15%, so as to obtain a finished bacterial agent with a viable count ≥5×10^9CFU / g, and then sealed and packaged.
[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the composite functional strain, each strain is inoculated in equal proportions during fermentation culture.
[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the solid carrier is grass powder with a particle size of 20-40 mesh.
[0016] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the grass powder is wheat grass powder or corn stalk powder.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a special inoculant for edible fungi mixing and its preparation method, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] 1. This special inoculant for edible fungi mixing and its preparation method can simultaneously meet the mixing needs of fermented substrate cultivation, semi-cooked substrate cultivation and cooked substrate cultivation. Especially for the cooked substrate cultivation scenario, it clearly defines the operational adaptability of "allowing no less than 12 hours for heating and revival reproduction time after mixing", eliminating the need for users to replace the inoculant, reducing the operational complexity and cost of large-scale production, and significantly improving its versatility.
[0019] 2. This special inoculant for edible fungi and its preparation method utilizes the synergistic effect of compound functional strains, such as Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis, and Aspergillus oryzae, to rapidly revive and reproduce after mixing with the substrate, achieving the effect of "rapid heating and long high-temperature period". On the one hand, it can effectively kill mold spores in the culture medium, reducing the risk of contamination by other microorganisms; on the other hand, it can degrade crude fiber and lignin through hydrolytic enzymes secreted by the strains, making the substrate more fully decomposed and softening, providing a high-quality environment for mycelial colonization and nutrient absorption of edible fungi. Moreover, the strains have strong dormancy stability in dry environments and can still maintain high-efficiency activity after storage, avoiding the defect of "large fluctuations in effect" in traditional inoculants.
[0020] 3. This special inoculant for edible fungi and its preparation method: This technology produces a pure microbial active inoculant without any chemical components. It will not produce harmful residues in the culture medium, thus ensuring the quality and food safety of edible fungi while avoiding the damage to the soil ecological environment caused by chemical agents. At the same time, the beneficial strains in the inoculant can build a dominant microbial community in the culture medium, which can not only complete the decomposition and pest control, but also provide auxiliary nutrition for the subsequent growth of edible fungi. This is different from the limitation of chemical fungicides that "only kill bacteria and have no added value", and has better ecological and economic value.
[0021] 4. This special inoculant for edible fungi and its preparation method are simple to prepare, the finished inoculant is easy to store, and no professional or complicated operation is required when using it. It can be used simply by following the conventional mixing process. For mature substrate cultivation, only a fixed revival time needs to be reserved. No additional equipment or manpower is required, which lowers the threshold for users. At the same time, the inoculant carrier has a wide range of sources and low cost, and can also assist in the composting of the culture medium, further reducing the overall cultivation cost.

[0024] Example
[0025] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 Preparation of special inoculant for edible fungi feed
[0026] Primary mother culture: Prepare culture medium with 20g peptone, 20g yeast powder and 800mL distilled water, dispense into 1000mL Erlenmeyer flasks, fill with 800mL of the medium, sterilize at 121℃ for 40 minutes, cool and inoculate with a mixture of Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis, Megaterium megaterium, Aspergillus oryzae and Actinomycetes slant culture in equal proportions, and culture at 24℃ and 190rpm on a shaker for 5 days to obtain the primary mother culture.
[0027] Secondary strain propagation: Prepare a culture medium with 25g peptone, 20g yeast powder, 3g potassium dihydrogen phosphate, and 1000mL distilled water. Fill the fermenter to 75% capacity and sterilize at 121℃ for 2 hours. After cooling, inoculate with the primary mother culture at a 10% inoculation rate and culture at 25℃, stirring at 90rpm, and aeration rate of 1:1.0vvm for 4 days to obtain the secondary strain.
[0028] Tertiary high-density culture: Prepare a culture medium with 20g glucose, 28g peptone, 20g yeast powder, one crushed vitamin B1 tablet, 2g magnesium sulfate, 3g potassium dihydrogen phosphate, and 1000mL distilled water. Fill the fermenter to 70% capacity and sterilize at 121℃ for 2 hours. After cooling, inoculate with secondary strain at a 15% inoculum and culture at 25℃, stirring at 110rpm, and aeration at 1:1.3vvm for 2.5 days to obtain tertiary strain.
[0029] Solid microbial agent molding: 30-mesh wheat straw is sterilized and dried at 120℃ for 30 minutes to reduce its moisture content to <10%. After cooling, the third-level microbial inoculum is sprayed onto the straw powder at a pressure of 0.4MPa in an aseptic mixer with an inoculation amount of 25%. The mixture is then air-dried at 38℃ and a wind speed of 1.8m / s for 5 hours, turning it over once every hour, until the moisture content is <15% and the viable count reaches 6×10^9 CFU / g. The product is then packaged.
[0030] Example 2: Application effect of microbial agents in cooked substrate cultivation
[0031] The inoculant prepared in Example 1 was mixed with sawdust, wheat bran, and other main materials at a ratio of 0.3% of the dry weight of the culture medium. After mixing, the material pile was covered and left to stand for 14 hours at an ambient temperature of 15-25℃. It was observed that the temperature of the material began to rise significantly within 8 hours, with the highest temperature reaching above 58℃ and maintaining a high temperature of >50℃ for more than 36 hours. Compared with the control group that did not use the inoculant or used a traditional inoculant, the mold contamination rate of the culture medium treated with the inoculant of this invention was significantly reduced, the lignocellulose was decomposed more fully, and the material was loose and soft. When used for the cultivation of shiitake mushroom substrate, the mycelium colonized quickly and grew vigorously, ultimately increasing the biological efficiency by about 15%.
