Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of environmental microorganisms, and particularly relates to a double microcarrier for culturing nitrifying bacteria, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Nitrifying bacteria belong to aerobic autotrophic microorganisms, and under the condition of sufficient supply, energy is obtained from the process of oxidizing ammonia and nitrite so as to assimilate CO 2 The growth is slow, the generation time is long, and the growth is easily influenced by a plurality of factors such as substrate concentration, dissolved oxygen concentration, pH and the like, so that the proliferation speed is low, the rapid culture is not easy, and the industrial large-scale application is difficult.
Nitrifying bacteria generally grow on the wall, and a large adhesion surface area is provided by using a moving bed biological fluidized bed filler, a biochemical blanket and the like in ornamental fish culture and sewage treatment so as to be beneficial to adhesion and growth of nitrifying bacteria. Compared with the traditional carrier, the microcarrier generally has larger specific surface area and better substrate diffusion effect, and has been widely applied in animal cell suspension culture for early years. Chitosan can be used as a microcarrier, but since chitosan is a polymer with positive charges on the surface and has a certain antibacterial property, the direct use as microcarrier can affect the growth of bacteria.
CN109095623a discloses a microcarrier for improving culture density of aerobic nitrifying bacteria and nitrosating bacteria and a preparation method thereof, which is prepared by adopting the following method: configuration of Na 2 CO 3 Solution and CaCl 2 A solution; respectively adding polyacrylic acid solutions; adding sodium dodecyl sulfate solution into the mixed solution A to prepare mixed solution C, and then pouring the mixed solution B into the mixed solution C to react to generate precipitate; filtering and washing the precipitate, and then drying in vacuum; dissolving chitosan solution in acetic acid solution, adding calcium carbonate nanoparticles, edible oil and span-80, stirring, and adding genipin for continuous stirring; or glutaraldehyde solution is added, and borohydride or acetyl borohydride is continuously added for continuous reaction after stirring; and (3) centrifugally separating the precipitate, cleaning, dehydrating and airing to obtain yellowish powder, namely the calcium carbonate-embedded chitosan microcarrier. Suspending the chitosan microcarrier embedded with calcium carbonate in water, dropwise adding the water into a sodium alginate solution, stirring, centrifugally separating and precipitating, cleaning, soaking the precipitate in a hydrochloric acid solution with the mass concentration of 1-10%, centrifugally separating and cleaning after the treatment, centrifugally separating and precipitating, and finally dehydrating the precipitate by using acetone and airing the dehydrated precipitate at room temperature to obtain the chitosan microcarrier with the surface charge modified, namely the microcarrier for improving the culture density of aerobic nitrifying bacteria and nitrosating bacteria. The microcarrier can improve the culture density of nitrifying bacteria and improve the economy of the enlarged culture of nitrifying bacteria. The method is characterized in that the crosslinked chitosan microsphere is dripped into a negatively charged polymer sodium alginate solution, the crosslinked chitosan is utilized to carry out surface charge modification to prepare the microcarrier, a layer of negatively charged shell is formed on the surface of the microcarrier, and although the influence of the chitosan on the growth of nitrifying bacteria is eliminated, the electrostatic adsorption of the chitosan microsphere to microorganisms is reduced, and the surface charge modification is not beneficial to the adhesion growth of negatively charged nitrifying bacteria on the carrier.
