Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of environmental microbiology and pollution control technology, specifically to a strain of Bacillus and preparations containing the strain and their applications. Background Technology

[0002] Bacillus is a type of aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria that is widely found in nature. Currently discovered strains have the ability to decompose organic matter, remove nitrogen, and remove phosphorus, and have broad application prospects in wastewater treatment, ecological restoration, and promoting plant growth.

[0003] CN202011512248.8 discloses a strain of denitrifying Bacillus subtilis and its application in strain detoxification. This strain is salt-tolerant and osmotically tolerant, and possesses denitrification capabilities. It can also be used in conjunction with nitrifying bacteria to synergistically reduce the ammonia nitrogen concentration in wastewater containing toxic pollutants from pharmaceutical, pesticide, pharmaceutical, papermaking, and petroleum refining industries. It can serve as an antidote for nitrifying bacteria's resistance to inhibitors. That is, when nitrifying bacteria cannot achieve their nitrification function due to the toxicity of substances in the wastewater, the addition of this strain restores the function of the nitrifying bacteria.

[0004] CN201811399378.8 discloses a strain of Bacillus cereus DIF1, its microbial agent and its application. The Bacillus cereus DIF1 has a strong dissimilatory reduction function of Fe(III) and can efficiently reduce soluble Fe(III) and solid Fe(III). At the same time, this Bacillus cereus DIF1 has a strong ability to reduce hexavalent chromium and generate electricity.

[0005] CN202210706553.3 discloses a strain of Bacillus and its application. This Bacillus is Bacillus argentis, which, in addition to fixing atmospheric nitrogen, also has the functions of dissolving organic and inorganic phosphorus, solubilizing potassium, and secreting IAA. Its application in promoting the growth of thin-shelled pecans is of great significance for enriching the resource bank of growth-promoting bacteria strains for thin-shelled pecans, developing microbial fertilizers for thin-shelled pecans, and reducing the use of chemical fertilizers and promoting plant growth in agricultural and forestry production.

[0006] CN202011354207.0 discloses an efficient aniline-degrading bacterium and its application. The strain is Bacillus albus. Compared with other aniline-degrading bacteria, this bacterium can tolerate higher aniline concentrations. Under the condition of an initial aniline concentration of 5 g / L, the removal rate of aniline can reach 100% within 48 hours, and the degradation effect is very significant.

[0007] Existing Bacillus strains possess various functions, including salt tolerance, denitrification, detoxification, iron reduction, aniline degradation, and plant growth promotion. They show promising applications in agricultural biological control, farmland ecological environment restoration, and plant growth promotion. However, the number of strains currently selected is relatively small, and their performance is relatively limited. Therefore, selecting new strains with superior performance or multiple functions will help expand the application areas of these microorganisms, making them more suitable for pollution control in complex environmental systems.
