Research on promoting microbial growth by cation modified montmorillonite
The research on promoting the growth of microorganisms by using cation modified montmorillonite comprises the following steps:
pyrene (C) degradation by constructing microorganism-mineral (Mycobacterium sp.NJS-1-cation modified montmorillonite) by the method of example 1015mg/L), the growth of the microorganisms is analyzed on the 1 st day and the 3 rd day of culture by a plate counting method, and the specific process is as follows: sucking 0.1mL of culture solution into 9mL of sterile water, shaking up, diluting the sample by stepwise dilution method to 104And 105And (3) respectively sucking 0.1mL of diluted sample, inoculating the diluted sample to a sterile nutrient broth solid culture medium, inverting the uniformly coated culture dish, culturing for 48 hours in an incubator at 28 ℃, and counting formed colonies to obtain the change of the bacterial growth density. The results are as follows (fig. 3 a): after 1 day and 3 days of culture, compared with the original bacteria without adding the iron ion modified montmorilloniteThe density of CFU treated by the cation modified montmorillonite is increased by 3-4 times and 8-10 times respectively compared with the CFU treated by the cation modified montmorillonite when the CFU is inoculated, and the CFU is closely related to the degradation rate of pyrene (figure 3d), which shows that the cation modified montmorillonite promotes the growth of degradation bacteria, wherein the strengthening treatment effect of Fe (III) modified montmorillonite is the best.
Research on strengthening activity of microbial degrading enzyme by cation modified montmorillonite
The study on the activity of the cation modified montmorillonite reinforced microbial degrading enzyme comprises the following steps:
pyrene (C) degradation by constructing microorganism-mineral (Mycobacterium sp.NJS-1-cation modified montmorillonite) by the method of example 1015mg/L), dioxygenase activity and electron transport activity and capacity were determined on days 1, 3 and 5 of culture by the following methods:
(1) peroxidase activity: the specific process is as follows: 0.2mL of the sample was aspirated, and 2mL of a sample containing 5mM dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA, pH7.0 in PBS buffer) and 0.1% H were added2O2After incubation at 28 ℃ for 1.5 hours, the amount of product formed (. epsilon.) was measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 460nm460=37000M-1cm-1). The results show (fig. 3 b): the peroxidase activity of different cation modified montmorillonite shows different change rules along with pyrene degradation, and the peroxidase activity of Fe (III) modified montmorillonite is always in a higher level.
(2) Dioxygenase activity ( Catechol 2,3 dioxygenase cathechol 2,3-dioxygenase, C23O): the specific process is as follows: 0.2mL of the sample solution was aspirated, 1mL of a buffer solution containing 0.5mM of catechol (prepared in PBS buffer, pH7.0) was added thereto, and after incubation at 28 ℃ for 4 hours, the amount of the product (. epsilon.) produced was measured spectrophotometrically at 375nm375=36000M-1cm-1). The results show (fig. 3 c): with the gradual degradation of pyrene, the activity of dioxygenase was increased, and the activity of enzyme reached a maximum at day 5 of degradation. Wherein the treated dioxygenase activity was maximal for Fe (III) and Na (I) modified montmorillonite.
Through correlation analysis, the significant correlation relationship between the activity of bacterial peroxidase and the degradation rate of pyrene (figure 3e) and the activity of dioxygenase and the degradation rate of pyrene (figure 3f) in the degradation process of pyrene can be found, which indicates that the improvement of the activity of key enzyme is a main way for enhancing the degradation of pyrene by using cation modified montmorillonite.
(III) research on bioelectrochemical activity of microorganisms reinforced by cation modified montmorillonite
The study on the bioelectrochemical activity of the cation modified montmorillonite reinforced microorganism comprises the following steps:
pyrene (C) degradation by constructing microorganism-mineral (Mycobacterium sp.NJS-1-cation modified montmorillonite) by the method of example 1015mg/L), dioxygenase activity and electron transport activity and capacity were determined on days 1, 3 and 5 of culture by the following methods:
(1) electron Transport System Activity (ETSA): 0.5mL of the sample solution was aspirated, and 0.5mL of PBS buffer (pH7.0) and 0.5mL of iodonitrotetrazole violet (INT, 0.1%) were added, followed by incubation at 30 ℃ in the dark. After the incubation was completed, 5mL of methanol was added to terminate the reaction, the product formazan (INTF) was extracted, and then the absorbance of the product was measured at 490nm using a spectrophotometer, and the product INTF was calculated according to a standard curve. The electron transfer activity is expressed as the INTF produced per unit time. The results show (fig. 4a), the electron transfer activity of na (i) modified montmorillonite treatment increases with pyrene degradation, while Fe (iii) modified montmorillonite treatment has a decreasing trend, and in general, the electron transfer activity of Fe (iii) modified montmorillonite is higher than that of na (i) modified montmorillonite, which is probably because Fe is a prosthetic group of some redox proteins, regulates the enzyme activity and transfers electrons through the change of its valence state, and can be used as an extracellular electron acceptor to play an important role in the bioelectrochemical process of a microorganism-mineral interface, so that the degradation speed of pyrene at the interface of iron ion modified montmorillonite is faster.
(2) Electron transfer capacity: the sample current time (i-t) curve was recorded using an electrochemical workstation and the electron donating ability (EDC) of the sample was measured. The specific process is as follows: 9mL of PBS buffer (pH 7) and 0.1M KCl were added to the cell to equilibrate the desired redox potential to 0.61V, followed by the addition of 0.1mL of the electron transfer mediator ABTS (10mM) to give rise to an oxidation peak current, and once again at constant background current, 0.1mL of sample solution was added to the cell to give rise to a sample oxidation peak current. The electron supply capacity of the sample was calculated by the following formula:
where V is the sample volume, Iox is the oxidation current after baseline correction, and F is the faraday constant (F-96485C mol)-1) EDC in μmol e-mL-1. The results show (fig. 4 b): the cation modified montmorillonite-microbial degradation system has higher electron supply capacity, the electron supply capacity is firstly increased and then reduced along with the degradation of pyrene, the electron supply capacity of the Fe (III) modified montmorillonite is slightly higher than that of the Na (I) modified montmorillonite at the initial stage, but the electron supply capacity is opposite at the later stage. The results show that as pyrene degrades, the electron donating ability of the degradation system increases first and then decreases. According to the results, the cation modified montmorillonite can enhance pyrene degradation by regulating degrading enzyme activity and bioelectrochemical activity.
The results show that the metal cation modified montmorillonite such as Fe (III), Co (II), Na (I) and the like can promote the bioelectrochemical processes such as electron transfer between minerals and microorganisms by promoting the growth of microorganisms and the metabolic activity of key enzymes, so as to further strengthen the degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (pyrene), wherein the Fe (III) modified montmorillonite has the best strengthening effect and has better application potential in soil pollution remediation.
In some embodiments, the cation-modified montmorillonite enhances microbial degradation by the following method:
s1 culturing and propagating Mycobacterium sp.NJS-1 bacteria by adopting a sterilized nutrient broth culture medium until the number of bacteria or the density of the bacteria reaches a specific value; s2 adding a sterilized inorganic salt culture medium to the cation-modified montmorillonite, and then inoculating the Mycobacterium sp.NJS-1 bacterium of step S1; s3, adding the inoculated cation modified montmorillonite into a polluted solution containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon for mixed culture to degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, such as pyrene, and compared with the single Mycobacterium sp.NJS-1 bacterium, the montmorillonite is directly used for degrading pyrene and has higher degradation rate; and has higher degradation rate compared with the degradation of pyrene after mixing unmodified montmorillonite and Mycobacterium sp.NJS-1 bacteria.
In some embodiments, iron ion modified montmorillonite prepared in different batches is used for enhancing the microbial degradation, wherein the exchange rate of iron ions is within a range of 50-100%, and the degradation rate is higher compared with that of single Mycobacterium sp.NJS-1 bacterium which is directly used for degrading pyrene; and has higher degradation rate compared with the degradation of pyrene after mixing unmodified montmorillonite and Mycobacterium sp.NJS-1 bacteria.
