Description

Cladosporium and application thereof in degradation of polyurethane plastic

Technical Field

The invention belongs to the technical field of biological treatment, and relates to cladosporium and application thereof in degradation of polyurethane plastics.

Background

Polyurethane (PU) is a polymer containing a urethane-bond repeating unit structure formed by the condensation of three components, namely polyisocyanate, polyol and a chain extender. It is a semi-crystalline thermosetting plastic in which the isocyanate constitutes the crystalline part, called the hard segment of PU, determining its hardness and tensile strength; the polyol and the chain extender constitute the amorphous fraction, called soft segment of PU, which determines its elasticity and elongation characteristics. By varying the type and ratio of polyol and isocyanate, PUs of various properties can be produced. Therefore, PU products are more diversified than other plastics, and PU plastics are widely used in heat insulation building materials, packaging materials, automobile materials, synthetic leather, footwear materials, paints, medical materials, and the like due to their excellent mechanical properties. The widespread use of large amounts of PU products generates a lot of waste plastics, and the waste plastics are lack of reasonable recycling treatment, thereby causing serious damage and threat to the ecosystem.

PU has high hydrophobicity and is difficult to degrade under natural conditions, and it is very difficult to directly use the PU as a substrate to screen microorganisms or enzymes capable of efficiently degrading PU plastics. Most studies currently screen PU plastic degrading bacteria using Impranil DLN as a structural mimic. The Impranil DLN is called as a waterborne polyester polyurethane dispersion, is in a milky white liquid state, is nanoparticles with the size of 0.1-0.2 mu m, and can be uniformly dispersed in water. Due to the opaque nature of Impranil DLN, milky white, opaque plates can be made that screen for degrading microorganisms through the hydrolytic rings that are formed by hydrolysis. Currently, some microorganisms have been isolated that have a degrading effect on Impranil DLN: an endophytic fungus (Pestalotiopsis microspora E2712A) isolated from guava stems, which can degrade approximately 99% of Impranil DLN in two weeks by using Impranil DLN as a sole carbon source; the Pseudomonas putida shows strong hydrolytic activity to Impranil DLN, and the degradation rate can reach 92% within 4 days. But the microorganisms or enzymes for degrading PU plastics are few in types and still in the mining stage, and the degrading strains screened in the research can lay a good theoretical basis and reference for the research on the biodegradation of the PU plastics.

Example 1: separation and screening of high-efficiency degradation Impranil DLN strain Cladosporium sp.P7 and strain identification

A5 g landfill soil sample was placed in 100mL enrichment medium containing 0.2% (v/v) Impranil DLN and cultured at 30 ℃ and 180rpm for 7 d. Measuring the degradation condition of the enriched liquid on the Impranil DLN by using an ultraviolet spectrophotometer, after determining that the Impranil DLN is degraded, inoculating the degraded solution into an enrichment medium containing 0.4% (v/v) of the Impranil DLN in an inoculation amount of 10% (v/v), continuing to enrich and measuring the degradation condition, and carrying out the method until the concentration of the Impranil DLN is increased to 1% (v/v), and then carrying out passage for 4 times.

The enrichment solution of the Impranil DLN is subjected to gradient dilution and then coated on an inorganic salt flat plate with 1% (v/v) of the Impranil DLN as a unique carbon source, and the Impranil DLN is cultured in an incubator at 30 ℃ for 1-7 days respectively. Single colonies with different colony morphologies are respectively streaked on an LB plate for purification, inoculated in a liquid inorganic salt culture medium with 0.5% (v/v) Impranil DLN as a unique carbon source, subjected to shake cultivation at 30 ℃ and 180rpm for 7d, and then 1mL of sample is centrifuged to collect supernatant, and the content of Impranil DLN is detected by an ultraviolet spectrophotometer. OD measurement by UV spectrophotometer₆₀₀The OD of the supernatant of the strain numbered P7 was found to be comparable to the OD of a control shake flask without added bacteria₆₀₀The most significant decrease in value.

The inorganic salt culture medium is prepared by adding water into 1.0L of ammonium nitrate 1.0g, sodium chloride 1.0g, potassium dihydrogen phosphate 0.5g and dipotassium hydrogen phosphate 1.5g, adjusting pH value to 7.0, adding agar 20.0g into the solid culture medium, sterilizing at 121 deg.C for 20min, and adding Impranil DLN as carbon source before use.

The LB medium is prepared from peptone 10.0g, yeast powder 5g, sodium chloride 5.0g, water to 1.0L, adjusting pH to 7.0, adding agar 20.0g into solid medium, and sterilizing at 121 deg.C for 15 min.

The strain P7 was subjected to ITS identification: using primer ITS 1: 5 '-TCCGTAGGTGAACCTGCGG-3' and ITS 4: 5 '-TCCTCCGCTTATTGATATGC-3' amplifying the ITS sequence of P7, connecting to a cloning vector pMD19T by means of T/A cloning, constructing a recombinant cloning vector pMD19T-16S, transforming the recombinant cloning vector pMD19T-16S into a cloning host bacterium Escherichia coli DH5 alpha to obtain a recombinant microorganism Escherichia coli DH5 alpha (pMD19T-16S), sequencing the obtained recombinant microorganism exogenous fragment, comparing the ITS sequences by an NCBI database, constructing a phylogenetic tree of a strain P7 and related ITS sequences, identifying the strain P7 to Cladosporium (FIG. 2) on a molecular level, wherein the nucleotide sequence of the ITS is shown as SEQ ID No.1 in the sequence table.

Example 2: degradation curve of Cladosporium sp.P7 to Impranil DLN and change of esterase activity in degradation process

(1) Preparation of standard batches for Impranil DLN at different concentrations: impranil DLN mineral salt media (wherein 1% v/v equals 6g/L DLN) were prepared at concentrations of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0% (v/v), respectively, at OD_600nmThe measurement was carried out, and a standard curve was plotted, as shown in FIG. 1.

The DLN degradation rate calculation is disclosed below:

DLN degradation rate = (initial concentration-final concentration)/initial concentration%

(2) Washing P7 mycelium with sterile water from PDA plate, scraping surface mycelium and spore with coating rod, counting with blood count plate to obtain final concentration of 1 × 10⁶spore/mL concentration of bacterial suspension, i.e. seed liquid.

(3) Inoculating seed liquid into inorganic salt culture medium with 1% (v/v) Impranil DLN concentration, shake culturing at 30 deg.C and 150rpm, sampling once every 24 hr, centrifuging at 4000rpm and 4 deg.C for 5min (collecting thallus at bottom to reduce influence of thallus on transparency), and measuring OD of fermentation supernatant_600nmAnd the concentration of Impranil DLN was calculated according to the standard curve shown in fig. 1.

As can be seen in fig. 3, the control group (no inoculation) showed no signs of degradation, indicating that Impranil DLN did not spontaneously hydrolyze; in the treatment group, the strain P7 is inoculated into the culture medium for 1d, and the degradation of Impranil DLN is started without obvious retardation; the degradation rate then gradually increased, reaching 95.8% on the sixth day, and then remained stable. The extracellular esterase activity of the strain P7 during the degradation process was detected, and the esterase activity was found to be present and reached a maximum of 1.24U/mL at 72h (FIG. 4), so that the esterase was presumed to play a very important role in the degradation process of Impranil DLN.

Example 3: study on degradation performance of Impranil DLN by Cladosporium sp.P7

Will be 1 × 10⁶Inoculating the spore/mL seed solution into an inorganic salt culture medium with the final concentration of 1% (v/v) of Impranil DLN at the inoculation amount of 10% (v/v), carrying out shake culture at 120rpm for 7d at 20 ℃, 25, 30, 37 and 42 ℃ respectively, detecting the residual quantity of the Impranil DLN, calculating the degradation rate, and researching the influence of the temperature on degradation of the Impranil DLN. As shown in FIG. 5a, the optimal degradation temperature of the strain P7 is 30 ℃, and at the moment, the degradation rate of Impranil DLN is the highest and is 97%; the percentage degradation of strain P7 was 88% and 77% at 25 ℃ and 37 ℃ respectively; the degradation rate of Impranil DLN by strain P7 was less than 40% at either lower (20 ℃) or higher (42 ℃) temperatures. This indicates that low temperatures are not favorable for the degradation of Impranil DLN by strain P7.

Will be 1 × 10⁶The spore/mL seed liquid is inoculated in an inorganic salt culture medium with the initial pH of 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0 and 11.0 in an inoculation amount of 10% (v/v), wherein the final concentration of the Impranil DLN is 1% (v/v), shaking culture is carried out at 30 ℃ and 120rpm for 7d, the residual quantity of the Impranil DLN is detected, the degradation percentage is calculated, and the influence of the pH on degradation of the Impranil DLN is researched. As shown in FIG. 5b, the optimal degradation pH of strain P7 was 7.0, at which time the degradation rate of Impranil DLN was the highest. The degradation percentage of the Impranil DLN is maintained to be above 70% in the pH range of 6.0-8.0, which indicates that the degradation of the Impranil DLN is not greatly influenced under the conditions of weak acid and weak base. And when the pH is less than 6 or more than 8, the degradation effect is remarkably reduced.

Will be 1 × 10⁶Inoculating the spore/mL seed solution into inorganic salt culture medium with Impranil DLN concentration of 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2% (v/v) at 30 deg.CAnd (3) shaking-culturing at 120rpm, sampling every 24h to detect the residual quantity of the Impranil DLN, calculating the degradation rate, and researching the influence of the substrate concentration on degradation of the Impranil DLN. As shown in fig. 5c, initial concentrations of Impranil DLN had a significant effect on the degradation of strain P7. When the concentration of Impranil DLN is lower than 1% (v/v), the strain P7 can completely degrade Impranil DLN at 168 h. While the degradation rate of Impranil DLN was only 40.2% when the substrate concentration was 2% (v/v), indicating that the growth of strain P7 was inhibited when the substrate concentration was too high, thereby reducing the degradation effect on Impranil DLN.

Will be 1 × 10⁶Inoculating the spore/mL seed liquid into an inorganic salt culture medium with the final concentration of 1% (v/v) of Impranil DLN at the inoculation amounts of 1% (v/v), 5% (v/v), 10% (v/v) and 20% (v/v), carrying out shake culture at 30 ℃ and 120rpm, sampling every 24h to detect the residual quantity of the Impranil DLN, calculating the degradation rate, and researching the influence of different inoculation amounts on degradation of the Impranil DLN. As shown in FIG. 5d, when the inoculation amount is 5%, 10% or 20%, the degradation rate of the strain P7 to Impranil DLN after 168h can reach more than 97%, and the degradation rate increases with the increase of the inoculation amount. The result shows that the strain P7 can be metabolized by growth by taking Impranil DLN as a sole carbon source, and the degradation effect is in direct proportion to the inoculation amount.

Through the experiments, the degradation strain P7 can utilize Impranil DLN as a unique carbon source, and the degradation rate of the Impranil DLN by the strain P7 at 168h can reach 97%.

Example 4: research on PU foam degradation capability of Cladosporium sp.P7

Cutting PU foam into 4 × 2.5 × 0.8cm (about 0.3 g), soaking in 75% ethanol for 10min, oven drying, and ultraviolet sterilizing for 30min before inoculation. Will be 1 × 10⁶The spores/mL of the seed solution was inoculated into a sterilized 50% potato liquid medium containing 0.2g of 50mLPU foam at an inoculum size of 10% (v/v), and cultured with shaking at 120rpm at 30 ℃. Samples were taken at 5, 10 and 15 days, and the foam was removed with 2% SDS, rinsed with distilled water, dried at 50 ℃ in an incubator to constant weight and weighed using an analytical balance.

From fig. 6 it can be seen that the control has no significant mass loss in 15d, only 2.8% mass loss in 15 d; however, the strain P7 has a better degradation effect on the foam, and the mass loss reaches 15.23 percent, 40.45 percent and 86.6 percent respectively at 5 days, 10 days and 15 days. Since only the preliminary degradation experiment is explored, only the 15 th d is examined, and the degradation effect of the test sample is studied in the subsequent elongation period. The strain P7 can utilize PU foam, and the degradation rate of the strain P7 at 15d is up to 86.6%. Therefore, the strain can not only utilize waterborne polyurethane Impranil DLN, but also utilize PU foam which is closer to real plastic, lays a solid theoretical foundation for the biodegradation research of PU, and has huge potential in the biological treatment of PU and other plastics.

The invention provides a cladosporium and a method for degrading a polyurethane plastic by using the same, and a plurality of methods and ways for realizing the technical scheme are provided. All the components not specified in the present embodiment can be realized by the prior art.
