The invention discloses an application of
chaetomium elatum in denitration of
nitrocellulose. The application is characterized in that a
chaetomium elatum strain converts
nitrocellulose, denitration is completed in the conversion process, and
nitrate and
nitrite can be converted into own
nutrient substances in the conversion process, so that better growth of the strain is achieved, and
pollution is reduced; a culture medium is simple in components, readily available in raw materials and suitable for industrial production; and
nitrocellulose is subjected to denitration treatment by using a single microbial strain, so that the
denitrification degree of the nitrocellulose can be controlled more simply and conveniently, and a good foundation is laid for later research on the
nitrogen reduction mechanism of the nitrocellulose. According to the invention, alkali
hydrolysis pretreatment is not needed before denitration conversion, and a
cellulose main chain cannot be damaged; no anaerobic environment is needed in the denitration process of the
chaetomium elatum on the nitrocellulose, and the conversion environment is relatively simple; after the strain is co-cultured with nitrocellulose for 14 days, the
nitrogen content of nitrocellulose with the original
nitrogen content of 13.03% can be reduced to 10.43%.
