The present application relates to the field of
water treatment, and discloses a strain capable of degrading
crotonaldehyde, a complex
bacterial population and application thereof in
water treatment. The present application provides a strain of
Bacillus tequilensis H21, which can simultaneously and efficiently degrade
crotonaldehyde and COD in
wastewater, and the strain also has very high tolerance to high-concentration
crotonaldehyde production
wastewater, and thus can be applied to the treatment of high-concentration and high-
toxicity crotonaldehyde production
wastewater, thereby reducing the load on the subsequent biochemical
treatment system and improving the biochemical treatment efficiency. Further, after alkali pretreatment of high-concentration and high-
toxicity crotonaldehyde wastewater,
fermentation treatment is performed by using
Bacillus tequilensis H21 or a complex
bacterial population containing
Bacillus tequilensis H21, which can further reduce the
toxicity of the wastewater, thereby reducing the load on the subsequent biochemical
treatment system of the wastewater after biological pretreatment and improving the biochemical treatment efficiency.
