The invention discloses a method for purifying cocktail of
hydrogen-dependent methylotrophic methanogenic
archaea, an obtained purified strain and application of the purified strain. The method comprises the following steps: S1, collecting a sample, sequencing to determine that the sample contains target
archaea, and determining whether the target
archaea can grow or not; s2, reducing diversity of archaea communities, selecting high-
throughput eutrophication, screening substrates and the like, and gradually reducing abundance and concentration of non-target archaea; s3, reducing the diversity of bacterial groups, adding different types of
antibiotic combinations and
lysozyme, and reducing the diversity of the bacterial groups in combination with gradient
dilution culture; and S4, according to the growth stage characteristics of the
bacteria and the target archaea, selecting appropriate
antibiotics in a continuous interval adding manner, and carrying out gradient
dilution passage until the concentration of the
bacteria cannot be detected. The invention also provides the
hydrogen-dependent methylotrophic methanogenic archaea obtained by the purification method, the preservation number of the methylotrophic methanogenic archaea is CGMCC (China General
Microbiological Culture Collection Center) No.46065, and the invention also provides an application of the methylotrophic methanogenic archaea in
methane preparation.
