Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of microbial technology, specifically relating to a strain of Bacillus tekiria GXMZU-G7 with the ability to degrade nitrite and its application. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous growth in demand for aquatic products, aquaculture, like the livestock industry, is rapidly developing towards industrialization and large-scale production. Under factory-style, intensive aquaculture models, the input of feed and aquatic animal health products continues to increase, resulting in large amounts of uneaten feed and excrement entering the aquaculture water. This leads to excessive levels of ammonia nitrogen, nitrite, and total phosphorus in the water. If aquaculture wastewater is discharged directly without treatment, it will severely cause eutrophication, leading to the deterioration of the aquatic environment. This not only affects the safety of aquatic organisms but may also threaten human production and lives. Therefore, how to achieve water recycling in factory-style, large-scale aquaculture models has become an urgent problem for aquatic scientists to solve.
[0003] The levels of nitrite and ammonia nitrogen in aquaculture wastewater are important indicators for monitoring in aquaculture. Ammonia nitrogen in water exists in two different forms: ammonia in molecular form (NH3) and ammonium in ionic form (NH4). + Ammonia is highly toxic, while ammonium is non-toxic. Furthermore, ammonia and ammonium can interconvert in water. The harmful effects of ammonia nitrogen on aquatic animals are primarily caused by free ammonia, which is dozens of times more toxic than ammonium. Ammonia nitrogen can damage the gill tissue of fish, causing red blood cells to lose their ability to bind oxygen, resulting in decreased respiratory function. Ammonia nitrogen mainly attacks mucous membranes, especially the gill epidermis and intestinal mucosa of fish, and secondarily the nervous system, damaging the liver and kidney systems of fish and other aquatic animals, causing congestion of the body surface and internal organs, muscle hyperplasia, and tumors.
[0004] Ammonia nitrogen exists in water in a free or ionic state. Under certain conditions, organic nitrogen in water can be converted into NH4. + -N, NO2 ˉ It is NH4 + Converted to NO3 ˉ As an intermediate in the process of nitrification, nitrite accumulates rapidly in aquatic ecosystems if this reaction is disrupted. Excessive ammonia nitrogen and nitrite severely impact the survival and growth of aquatic organisms, causing significant economic losses to aquaculture. Excessive nitrite may be caused by imbalances among nitrifying bacteria and nitrogen cycling. Therefore, nitrite levels in aquaculture should be strictly controlled to prevent sub-lethal toxicity in ponds.
[0005] The mechanism of action of nitrite is similar to that of ammonia nitrogen. Nitrite can be absorbed by the gill epithelium of aquatic animals and accumulate in their body fluids. It then binds to oxygen-carrying proteins in the blood, reducing or eliminating their oxygen-carrying capacity, leading to decreased food intake and respiratory difficulties in aquatic animals, causing stress responses. Nitrite can damage the body's antioxidant protection mechanisms. Under nitrite stress, the levels of catalase, superoxide dismutase, and total antioxidant capacity of the liver in fish are significantly inhibited with increasing nitrite concentration, making fish more susceptible to disease, reducing survival rates, and leading to disease outbreaks and mass mortality. In high-density, intensive aquaculture, the problem of excessive nitrite levels urgently needs to be addressed.
[0006] Currently, there are three main methods for degrading nitrite: physical, chemical, and biological. Physical methods separate or remove pollutants through sedimentation and filtration (such as microfilters, activated carbon, and brushes), but these methods often result in incomplete separation. Chemical methods primarily remove pollutants through oxidation reactions, such as ultraviolet irradiation, ozone oxidation, or the addition of flocculants and coagulants, but these are costly and may lead to water pollution. Biological methods improve water quality by constructing or enhancing biological purification systems in the water body. These methods mainly include: microbial preparations using beneficial bacteria and microalgae; activated sludge processes utilizing suspended microbial communities; biofilm methods based on attached microbial films (such as adding packing material to biofilters); and aquatic plant methods utilizing plant absorption. These methods synergistically decompose organic matter and transform nutrients through biological processes, achieving ecological purification of effluent.
[0007] Physical and chemical methods require significant equipment and capital, and are prone to causing repeated environmental pollution. Biological methods, on the other hand, are highly efficient, economical, and produce no secondary pollution, making them widely used. In biological methods, microbial agents are commonly used additives. They not only convert toxic nitrites in water into harmless nitrates, thus purifying the water, but also promote the healthy growth of farmed animals. Bacillus bacteria can utilize nitrites as a nitrogen source for their growth and reduce the nitrite content in their environment through their own metabolic processes, making them ideal strains for the natural degradation of nitrites.
[0008] Therefore, screening out beneficial microorganisms that can efficiently degrade nitrite is the core technical support for promoting the green development of aquaculture and achieving environmental friendliness and improved quality and efficiency. Summary of the Invention

The cultures were incubated at 30°C and 200 r / min on a shaker for 24 h. Oddi concentrations (OD) were measured at 12 h and 24 h. 600nm and nitrite degradation rate. Results are as follows: Figure 7 As shown.
[0056] Figure 7The results showed that when the inoculum size was between 1% and 10%, both the bacterial growth and degradation rate increased. At 12 hours, the degradation rate was 23.46% with a 1% inoculum, 53% with a 2% inoculum, 92.07% with a 3% inoculum, and 99.9% with a 4-10% inoculum. At 24 hours, the degradation rate was 59.08% with a 1% inoculum and 99.8% with a 2-10% inoculum. Therefore, considering nitrite degradation rate, bacterial concentration, and cost, 2% was selected as the optimal inoculum size.
