The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are illustrative and intended to explain the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the invention.
The existing EAB biomembrane domestication scheme has the problems of long domestication time, often being completed through multiple liquid exchange, and more factors (such as dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH and the like of a culture solution) which are difficult to control in the liquid exchange process, causing the difference of dominant strains of the mixed biomembrane, large workload, low working efficiency and the like. For example, there is a method for rapidly acclimatizing a bioanode by electrolysis, comprising: a) Preparing an anode culture solution, connecting a biological anode, a constant voltage power supply, a current monitoring element and a chemical cathode to form a microbial electrolytic cell loop, and starting a 1 st domestication period by adopting a constant voltage electrolysis mode; b) When the current monitoring element monitors that the electrolytic current value of the 1 st domestication period is reduced, a circuit is disconnected, a biological anode culture solution is replaced, and the voltage of the constant-voltage power supply is regulated to start the 2 nd domestication period; c) Repeating the operation of the step B) for 3 times to finish an initial domestication period; and then, selecting the repetition number of the operation of the B) according to the required power generation capacity to finish a stable domestication period, wherein the method needs to monitor the electrolysis current in real time, and the culture solution is replaced when the current intensity reaches a range threshold value. For another example, there are also Lorentwa-based The bacillus isShewanella loihica) According to the scheme, although the problems that a traditional microbial electrochemical sensor based on a mature biological film cannot detect in time can be solved, the problems that an EAB biological film is long in starting time, difficult to incubate and the like are solved, each set of system can only produce one group of microbial electrochemical sensors (MEB) at a time, adsorption state EAB is suitable for instant detection and cannot be used for long-term online monitoring, the microbial electrochemical sensors (MEB) needing stable signals are required to be monitored online for a long time, the stable mature EAB biological film is required to be adopted, and the adsorption state EAB can be separated from a medium due to insufficient adsorption and combination tightness degree of the EAB and an adsorption medium, so that bioelectric signal mutation in a detection process is caused, and interference is generated on the test.
Clearly, the existing EAB biofilm organisms have more or less the following problems: 1) The independent domestication system is easy to cause the problems of great difference of the biological activity and the like of the dominant bacterial group of the EAB biological film due to the difference of culture solutions; 2) The domestication process has the problems of complex operation and need of replacing the culture solution for many times, such as need of monitoring the electrolysis signal in real time and replacing the culture solution for many times when the electrolysis signal reaches a certain change degree, and is not suitable for large-scale production and application; 3) The problem of long domestication time of mature EAB biological membranes; 4) The EAB biomembrane water flow rate adaptation period is long.
In view of this, in one aspect, the present invention provides a method of acclimating an electrochemically active biofilm, the method comprising: and simultaneously culturing a plurality of bioanode in the same electrolytic cell under the same culture solution environment and the same culture condition to obtain a plurality of electrochemical active biological membranes, wherein the bioanode comprises a biological membrane carrier attached with target bacteria.
In the invention, the method for domesticating the electrochemical active biological film has at least the following beneficial effects: in the domestication process, the environment of a nutrition system, temperature, pH value and the like where a plurality of biological anodes are positioned is good in consistency, and when a carbon source in a culture solution is enough, the culture solution is not required to be replaced in the culture process, so that the method is not only favorable for obtaining EAB biological membranes with high consistency, but also can avoid frequent liquid replacement operation, even can realize the effect of not replacing the culture solution in the whole domestication process, can greatly reduce the domestication workload and the requirements on operators, effectively avoid the biological membrane incubation control condition difference caused by the differences of a plurality of independent small electrolytic cell systems due to the flora, dissolved oxygen, nutritional ingredients, temperature and the like, further cause the problems of batch-to-batch difference, poor consistency and the like of the EAB biological membranes obtained by domestication, and also be favorable for shortening the on-machine adaptation time in the later test or application. In conclusion, the method not only can rapidly domesticate a plurality of EAB with high incubation consistency in batches, but also is beneficial to shortening the on-machine adaptation time in the later test or application, and can shorten the incubation period to below 7 days (for example, to 2-3 days), and can also avoid frequent liquid change operation, even can realize the effect of not changing the culture solution in the domestication process, the domestication biological film has high repeatability, can provide an application foundation for MEB water biotoxicity detection, and is suitable for mass production application.
The method for acclimating an electrochemically active biofilm according to the above-described embodiment of the present invention is described in detail as follows.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the culture solution includes four parts of carbon source, salts, trace elements and vitamins, and in the preparation process, the mother solutions of the four parts may be prepared separately, and the mother solutions of the four parts may be mixed in a preset ratio and diluted with deionized water.
In some embodiments of the invention, the electrolytic cell may include at least one electrode group, each electrode group includes a reference electrode, a counter electrode and at least one bioanode, the electrode groups are connected with a potentiostat, during the culturing process, different electrode groups are connected with different potentiostat channels, the culturing voltages controlled by the different potentiostat channels are the same, and whether to supplement carbon sources into the culture solution and whether to complete the culturing are determined by monitoring the current changes of the channels during the culturing process in real time, wherein the type of the supplemented carbon sources is the same as the type of the carbon sources contained in the culture solution. The method is more beneficial to improving the consistency of the nutrient system, temperature, pH value and other environments of each biological anode in the domestication process, is beneficial to further improving the consistency of EAB biological membranes obtained by batch domestication, and avoids frequent liquid changing operation and abrupt changes of dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH value and the like of an incubation system caused by liquid changing.
Further, the distances between the reference electrode and the counter electrode in the different electrode groups are equal or substantially equal. In the present invention, the substantially equal means that the difference in distance between the reference electrode and the counter electrode in the different electrode groups is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 5% based on the distance between the reference electrode and the counter electrode in any one electrode group. The distances between the reference electrode and the counter electrode in different electrode groups in the domestication process can be equal or nearly equal, the resistance difference between the reference electrode and the counter electrode in different electrode groups is greatly reduced, and the consistency of the EAB biological film obtained by the biological anode in different electrode groups can be further improved.
Further, culturing a plurality of biological anodes under the same culture solution environment and the same culture condition, wherein in the culture process, along with the consumption of nutrient substances in the culture solution, the current of each channel is in a trend of rising and then reducing, based on the peak value of the rising of the current of any channel and the current stability value (the judgment standard of the current stability value can be flexibly selected according to actual needs, for example, when judging whether a certain current value is a stability value, the culture can be continued for 2 hours, whether the current change exceeds 20% in the 2-hour culture time is observed, if the current change range is between-20% and 20%, the current stability is indicated), and whether the carbon source is fed into the culture solution and the culture is completed is judged; if the carbon source is fed, judging whether the fresh culture solution is fed or whether the culture is finished or not based on the current magnitude of any channel in the first preset culture time after the carbon source is fed and the current peak value before the carbon source is fed. It should be noted that, the criterion for judging whether the cultivation is completed or not and whether the carbon source needs to be supplemented is not particularly limited, and those skilled in the art can flexibly select according to specific cultivation requirements, for example, during the cultivation, as nutrients in the cultivation liquid are consumed, the current of each channel will be in a trend of increasing and decreasing after increasing, if the current peak value or the current stabilizing value of each channel is larger than a certain value A threshold value (which can be flexibly selected according to practical needs, and which can be 2.0X10 when the completion of cultivation is judged by the current peak value -3 A, etc.; when judged by a current stable value, the threshold value may be 1.5X10 -3 A, etc.), it can be judged that the cultivation is completed without continuing the carbon source supply.
Further, during the culture, the current in any channel is reduced to 10 as nutrients in the culture solution are consumed -8 After A, supplementing a carbon source into the culture solution for continuous culture. Thus, it can be further ensured that each of the domesticated EAB biofilms is domesticated and matured. Preferably, the carbon source concentration in the culture broth after the carbon source is fed may be made the same or substantially the same as the carbon source concentration in the fresh culture broth.
Further, after the carbon source is fed, the current of each channel rises instantaneously, and if the current of each channel is close to the current peak value before the carbon source is fed after the first preset culture time, the culture can be considered to be completed. The first preset incubation time is not particularly limited, and a person skilled in the art can flexibly select the first preset incubation time according to actual needs, for example, the first preset incubation time may be 20 minutes to 40 minutes, specifically may be 30 minutes, and the like. In addition, the criterion that the current of each channel is close to the current peak before the carbon source is fed may be determined based on actual needs of those skilled in the art, for example, the current of each channel after the carbon source is fed may be regarded as being close to the current peak before the carbon source by stabilizing the current of each channel in the first preset incubation time and being 1.2 times or less than the current peak before the carbon source is fed.
As some specific examples, after the carbon source is fed, if the current of each channel is stable and less than or equal to 1.2 times of the current peak value before the carbon source is fed in the first preset culture time, the end of the culture can be judged; if the current of any channel is 1.2 times greater than the current peak value before the carbon source is fed in the first preset culture time, the fresh culture solution can be replaced to continue culture. Thus, it can be further ensured that each of the domesticated EAB biofilms is domesticated and matured.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the specific type of the biofilm carrier is not particularly limited, and a person skilled in the art may flexibly select according to actual needs, and may include, for example, but not limited to, at least one of carbon cloth, carbon paper, carbon felt, and carbon fiber brush. In addition, the size of the biological membrane carrier is not particularly limited, and a person skilled in the art can flexibly select the biological membrane carrier according to actual needs, and preferably the biological membrane carriers adopted by a plurality of biological anodes in batch domestication in the same electrolytic cell have the same size, volume and material.
In some embodiments of the invention, the culturing may be performed under agitation conditions, which may include, but are not limited to, magnetic stirring or stirring with a stirring rod. The stirring mode can be used for realizing uniform mixing of an incubation system, eliminating complex pipelines, avoiding the problem that the pipelines are blocked by biological films frequently occurring in a circulating external flow path, promoting mass transfer of microbial electrochemical reaction, simultaneously enabling the EAB biological films to adapt to water flow rate in the forming process, and greatly shortening the on-machine adaptation time in the later test or application. Alternatively, when magnetic stirring is adopted, the electrolytic cell can be placed on a magnetic stirrer, a magnetic stirrer is placed in the electrolytic cell, magnetic stirring is started, and a proper stirring speed is set; when stirring by adopting the stirring rod, the stirring rod can be additionally arranged in the incubation electrolytic cell, and the outside is connected with the rotating motor to realize the mixing of incubation culture solution.
In some embodiments of the invention, the culturing is performed under sealed, light-protected conditions at less than or equal to 25 ℃. Wherein, the control of the low temperature condition of less than or equal to 25 ℃ can reduce the microorganism propagation rate and reduce the growth of mixed bacteria, and the cultivation is preferably carried out under the constant temperature condition of less than or equal to 25 ℃; the sealing can prevent external air from entering the system and carrying in dissolved oxygen, thereby leading to the growth of aerobic bacteria and inhibiting the growth of target bacteria (anaerobic bacteria); the phototactic microorganism growth can be limited by light shading, the phototactic microorganism is prevented from growing on the side wall of the electrolytic cell and the pipeline in an aggregation way, and the problems that a locally formed biological film blocks the pipeline and the like are solved. Therefore, the method is further beneficial to inhibiting the growth of mixed bacteria such as aerobic bacteria and polarized bacteria in an incubation system and reducing the nutrition consumption speed of the system, thereby being further beneficial to the formation of a target bacterial group biological film in the initial stage of incubation.
In some embodiments of the invention, the molar concentration of the carbon source in the culture solution may be less than or equal to 10mmol/L, for example, 0.05mmol/L, 0.5mmol/L, 1mmol/L, 3mmol/L, 5mmol/L, 7mmol/L, 9mmol/L, etc., and may be selected to be 0.1mmol/L to 10mmol/L. Further, the carbon source in the culture medium may include a small molecule carbon source such as a soluble acetate and/or a soluble lactate, and sodium acetate and/or sodium lactate may be preferable, for example. The low concentration and the small molecular carbon source are also favorable for inhibiting the growth of mixed bacteria and promoting the formation of a target flora biomembrane.
In some embodiments of the invention, the ratio of the total volume of the plurality of bioanodes to the volume of the culture broth during the culturing process may be less than or equal to 1/300, for example, may be 1/350, 1/400, 1/500, 1/600, 1/700, 1/800, 1/900, etc., and preferably may be less than or equal to 1/500.

In some embodiments of the present invention, a target strain may be inoculated to multiple biofilm carriers simultaneously in the same source liquid under the same inoculation conditions, resulting in multiple bioanode. This approach is more advantageous for ensuring the consistency of the initially formed target flora biofilm.
Further, in the process of domesticating the electrochemical active biological membrane, different inoculation modes can be selected according to different target strain concentrations in the inoculation process. Based on the different inoculation modes of the target strains, the method for domesticating the electrochemical active biological film can concretely comprise two modes of scheme 1 and scheme 2, wherein:
Scheme 1 includes:
(1) A plurality of biomembrane carriers are arranged in the electrolytic cell, so that the electrolytic cell comprises at least one group of electrode groups, each group of electrode groups comprises a reference electrode and a counter electrode, and at least one biomembrane carrier is correspondingly arranged along each counter electrode in the electrolytic cell. The distances between the reference electrode and the counter electrode in the different electrode groups are preferably made equal or substantially equal.
(2) And (3) injecting fresh culture solution and a seed source into the electrolytic cell, connecting the potentiostat with the electrode groups, connecting different electrode groups with different potentiostat channels, and carrying out adsorption inoculation culture under the same electrolytic adsorption voltage to obtain the biological anode. In this process, the level of the suspension formed by the fresh broth and the seed source should be such that it is above at least a portion of all of the counter electrodes, all of the biofilm carriers and each of the reference electrodes. In the process, the seed source of the target strain is provided in a liquid phase form, preferably, the volume ratio of the seed source to the fresh culture solution is greater than or equal to 1/2, for example, 1/1, 2/1 or 4/1, and the like, under the condition that the concentration of the target strain in the suspension is relatively large, under the action of the potentiostat voltage, the high-activity EAB in the system can be preferentially and rapidly enriched on a biological film carrier, thereby being beneficial to realizing the rapid formation of an initial target flora biological film, reducing the biomass of mixed bacteria in the culture system, and improving the utilization rate of nutrient substances in the culture system. Further, after the electrolytic adsorption culture is started, since the high-activity EAB in the system is preferentially and rapidly enriched on the biological film carrier, the adsorption electrolytic current of each channel is rapidly increased, the increase rate of the adsorption electrolytic current is increased firstly and then gradually reduced, in the process, the current change of each channel in the adsorption electrolytic culture process can be monitored in real time, and when the increase rate of the current of each channel starts to be reduced, the adsorption inoculation culture can be completed. After the adsorption inoculation culture is completed, the potentiostat control is disconnected.
(3) And replacing the liquid in the electrolytic cell with fresh culture solution, starting a potentiostat, and culturing the plurality of biological anodes under the same culture voltage to obtain a plurality of electrochemical active biological membranes. In this process, the liquid level of the fresh broth should also be over at least a portion of all of the counter electrodes, all of the biofilm carriers and each of the reference electrodes. In the process, the ratio of the total volume of the bioanode to the volume of the fresh culture solution can be made to be less than or equal to 1/300, such as less than or equal toAt 1/500, the culture voltage should be controlled to be smaller than the electrolytic adsorption voltage controlled in the step (2). After the culture process is started, the electrolytic current of each channel starts to gradually increase, when the current of each channel reaches the highest point (called the first saturation peak current), the current consumption of the system is reduced along with the decrease of the current consumption, and then whether the carbon source is fed into the culture solution and whether the culture is completed or not can be judged based on the first saturation peak current of each channel and the specific magnitude of the stable and stable value after the decrease of the current, for example, when the current of any channel is reduced to 10 -8 And (3) when the carbon source (such as a carbon source mother solution) is added into the electrolytic cell, so that the concentration of the carbon source in the system is consistent with that of the fresh culture solution, at the moment, the culture current of each channel is observed to rise to the vicinity of the first saturation peak current again in a short time, and as a specific example, after the fresh carbon source is added, if the culture current of each channel rises to the vicinity of the first saturation peak current again, the current growth speed in the subsequent culture time can be continuously counted, and if the culture is continuously carried out for a preset time (such as 20 minutes and the like) and the current growth speed in the preset time is smaller than a certain preset value (such as 0.005mA/s and the like), the culture can be considered to be completed.
Scheme 2 includes:
(I) A plurality of biomembrane carriers are arranged in an electrolytic cell, the electrolytic cell comprises at least one group of electrode groups, each group of electrode groups comprises a reference electrode and a counter electrode, and at least one biomembrane carrier is correspondingly arranged along each counter electrode in the electrolytic cell. The distances between the reference electrode and the counter electrode in the different electrode groups are preferably made equal or substantially equal.
(II) injecting fresh culture solution and a seed source into the electrolytic cell, connecting a potentiostat with the electrode groups, connecting different electrode groups with different potentiostat channels, and culturing under the same adsorption voltage. In this process, the level of the suspension formed by the fresh broth and the seed source should be such that it is above at least a portion of all of the counter electrodes, all of the biofilm carriers and each of the reference electrodes. The culture mode is suitable for the condition of smaller concentration of target strains, the seed sources of the target strains are provided in a liquid phase form,preferably, the volume ratio of the seed source to the fresh culture medium may be less than or equal to 1/2, for example, 1/1, 1/2, or 1/4, etc., under which conditions the concentration of the target species in the suspension is relatively small, the target species grow slower at the initial stage of initiation of the culture, and a longer adaptation period may be provided compared to step (3) of scheme 1. After the culture process is started, the electrolysis current of each channel starts to gradually increase, when the current of each channel reaches the highest point (called as first saturation peak current), the current consumption of the system is reduced along with the decrease of the current consumption, and then whether the carbon source is fed into the culture solution and whether the culture is completed can be judged based on the first saturation peak current of each channel and the specific magnitude of the stability and the stability value after the current is reduced. As a specific example, when the current in any channel decreases to a predetermined value (e.g. 10 -8 A, etc.), supplementing a carbon source (mother liquor) to make the concentration of the carbon source in the system consistent with that of the fresh culture solution, wherein the culture current of each channel is observed to rise to the vicinity of the first saturation peak current again in a short time, and as a specific example, after the fresh carbon source is added, if the culture current of each channel rises to the vicinity of the first saturation peak current again, the current magnitude or the current increasing speed in the subsequent culture time can be continuously counted, and if the culture is continuously carried out for a preset time (such as 20-40 minutes) and the current is still close to the first saturation peak current in the preset time, or the current increasing speed is smaller than a certain preset value (such as 0.005 mA/s), the culture can be considered to be completed; if the current of any channel is greater than 1.2 times of the first saturation peak value within the preset time (20-40 minutes) for continuous culture, the culture is not completed, and the fresh culture solution needs to be replaced for continuous culture.

Step S105, starting culture. The inoculum suspension of S104 was added equally to 8 small electrolytic cells, filled with containers, sealed and protected from light. Each small electrolytic cell bioanode takes 0.1cm multiplied by 1cm carbon cloth as a biomembrane carrier, and the volume of the bioanode is about 0.1mL; 40mL of inoculum suspension was added, culture broth: bioanode volume ratio = 400.

The test data are as follows:
in comparative example 1, 8 channels (designated channel 1, channel 2,.. The term "channel 8") each cultured 1 sheet of EAB biofilm, with channel 5 and channel 7 biofilm culturing currents always being less than 10 -8 A, unsuccessful culture; of the remaining 6 channels, 3 channels (here channel 1, channel 2, channel 3) were randomly selected for on-board testing of EAB biofilms. The water quality biotoxicity on-line monitor (hereinafter referred to as instrument) is adopted for testing, each instrument of the 3 instruments is provided with a test channel, and the test channels are placed in the same space, and the same test sequence is set for automatically running the test.
The instrument is set to be in a 24-hour automatic whole-point operation mode, the first day and the second day of the EAB biofilm loading are loading adaptation periods, the automatic calibration is carried out once every 12 hours, and a blank water test (shown as dz in the table) is started every whole point thereafter; on the third, fourth and fifth days, the EAB biological film is suitable for detecting the water flow rate of toxicity, stabilizing the signal, and starting the toxicity response sensitivity and stability test; the final concentration of Cu is 0.3mg/L 2+ The standard solution was used as a simulated toxic substance solution, calibrated twice, started once with a blank water test (as identified in table dz) and started once with a toxic substance test (as identified in table sc 1).
Test results:
(1) The EAB biofilm is subjected to on-machine adaptation period test. The relative current is qualified between +/-10% and excellent between +/-5%. The channel 1 EAB biomembrane has larger relative current jumping in two-day adaptation period test, which is far beyond +/-10%, and is a typical immature biomembrane, and is unqualified; the EAB biomembrane of the channel 2 is basically stable in the second calibration period, but a small amount of abnormal values appear until the last calibration period meets the requirements, and the adaptation period is 36h; the channel 3 EAB biomembrane starts to be stable in the 9 th test of the first calibration period, and the test data are qualified and adapt to the period of 9h. The adaptation period of the three channels on-line is greatly different.
(2) Toxicity response test. The toxicity is detected when the relative current is less than or equal to-20%, and the smaller the relative current is, the more sensitive the toxicity response is. Channel 1 EAB biomembrane, toxicity response is most sensitive, the relative current is less than-40% in last several times, but the total value of the current integral in the detection process is rapidly reduced in the toxicity test process of 3 days, which is probably that the biomembrane is not incubated and matured, has weak tolerance to toxic substances and dies gradually; after 4 toxic impacts, the channel 2 EAB biomembrane can detect toxicity in each toxicity test, the relative current is once lower than-50% and the other relative current is basically between-25% and-20%, and most data are stable and have a small amount of abnormal values; in the two-day test process, the channel 3 EAB biomembrane only detects the non-toxic response of other toxicity tests by two toxicity tests, and the total current integral value in the detection process is not changed obviously, thus the membrane is a typical aging and stress-resistant biomembrane.
Comprehensive analysis can be seen: the EAB biomembrane on-machine adaptation stable time of 3 channels exceeds 12 hours; channel 1 biofilm is not mature in incubation, cannot withstand long-term toxicity test, and has poor long-term test stability; the biological membrane of the channel 3 is excessively mature in incubation and tends to age, so that the toxicity detection rate is low, and the biological membrane cannot be used for toxicity detection; the values of the current, the toxicity response capability and the stability are greatly different, and the repeatability of the domesticated biological film is low. The detailed test data are shown in the following table.
