Screening of Denitrifying Bacteria and Study on Culture Conditions

Microorganisms play an important role in the natural nitrogen cycle, such as nitrogen fixation, ammoniation, nitrification, denitrification. Among them, nitrification and denitrification maintain the balance of ammonia in nature and the normal circulation of nitrogen. Ammoniaization is the decomposition of organic nitrogen into ammonia and ammonia compounds by the action of ammoniated bacteria or fungi. Nitrification oxidizes ammonia compounds to nitrites and nitrates by nitrite bacteria and nitrate bacteria; denitrification is also called Nitrogen acts to reduce nitrate to nitrous oxide or nitrogen by microorganisms under anaerobic or microanaerobic conditions. Denitrification has great value in controlling eutrophication of water bodies, treating sewage and purifying waters. Certain plants, fungi and bacteria have been found to have denitrification. More than 50 microorganisms are known to be capable of denitrification, the vast majority of which are bacteria.
Denitrifying bacteria reduce nitrate and nitrite by inducing nitrate reductase and nitrite reductase. The denitrification ability of different denitrifying bacteria is different, and the growth conditions are also very different. The authors selected 45 strains of denitrifying bacteria from the physiological and biochemical laboratory of Yuxi Hongta Group Technology Center to further screen the strains with strong denitrification ability, and optimized the medium and growth temperature of the target strain. Aerobic measurements are made to provide a basis for the use of denitrifying bacteria.

2 Results and analysis
Screening of 2.1 Denitrification Strength of Strain
2.1.1 Determination of gas production
In the test tube inoculated with B88 and B237 strains, the medium began to turn blue after 2 days, and a small amount of gas was produced, which was retained in the small test tube. After 3 days, the medium changed from green to blue, and the gas in the small test tube increased significantly. After 3 to 4 days, the gas production rate is the fastest, and the gas volume is the highest. In the next few days, the gas volume increase is not observed. In the test tube inoculated with other strains, the color of the medium gradually turned blue from top to bottom, but did not produce gas.
The strain was screened by Giltay medium method. The medium in the test tube was reduced to nitrite by the action of denitrifying bacteria nitrate reductase, and the medium was made alkaline, and the medium color changed from green to blue. The strain with strong denitrification is further reduced to nitrous oxide or nitrogen by the action of nitrite reductase, and is retained in a small test tube. Among the 45 tested strains, B88 and B237 strains were able to degrade the nitrate and nitrite in the medium well, producing gas early and fast, and the gas production reached a peak at 3 to 4 days, indicating that the denitrification was higher. Strong. Although other strains can also reduce nitrate to nitrite, but can not further reduce nitrite, denitrification is weak.
2.1.2 Determination of nitrate degradation characteristics In the medium inoculated with B88 and B237, the nitrogen content decreased significantly, indicating that B88 and B237 strains have strong denitrification and can effectively degrade the nitrate in the medium. Table 1 .

2.2 medium and aerobic determination
Since denitrifying bacteria are denitrifying by nitrate-induced nitrate reductase and nitrite reductase under anaerobic or microanaerobic conditions, most researchers invest in denitrifying bacteria in the laboratory. It is carried out under microanaerobic conditions. However, the results of this experiment show that the rapid growth of B88 and B237 strains is aerobic, with or without the induction of nitrate. The growth is limited by the oxygen supply, and the CO 2 content (20%) is increased. Strong inhibition; the growth rate of the medium is different on different media; the growth rate is slower on the denitrifying bacteria medium, and the growth rate is faster in the YB medium, Table 2 and Table 3.

2 . 3 growth temperature determination
The temperature has a significant effect on the growth rate of B88 and B237 strains. Under aerobic conditions, the strain is cultured in YB medium, and the strain can grow well between 20 °C and 40 °C. The optimal growth temperature is about 30 °C. .
2.4 Determination of growth concentration
After the denitrifying bacteria have undergone a slow growth period and an exponential growth period, the bacterial concentration is gradually reduced due to the consumption of nutrients and the inhibition between bacteria, the aging and digestion of the bacteria. B88 strains under optimal culture conditions for growth of the highest concentration of 6.1 × 1 0 th · mL -1, B237 strains under optimal culture conditions for growth of the highest concentration of 1.54 × 10 8 th · mL -1.
3 Conclusions and discussion
Denitrifying bacteria are mainly used in industrial wastewater or water treatment of polluted rivers and ponds to reduce harmful nitrogenous substances in water and improve water quality. For the culture of denitrifying bacteria, a dedicated denitrifying bacteria culture medium is generally used. However, different denitrifying bacteria have different aerobic properties, and different carbon sources, pH values, temperatures, and medium components have a great influence on the growth of denitrifying bacteria. In the commonly used denitrifying bacteria culture medium, screening the optimal growth medium is of great significance for the enrichment culture and industrial application of bacteria.
The conventional Giltay medium method was used to screen denitrifying bacteria using a test tube of 15 mm × 150 mm and a Duham tube, so that the amount of gas retained in the Duham tube was small and it was not easy to collect. This test uses a large test tube of 20 mm × 200 mm, replaces the Duham tube with a small test tube of 12 mm × 75 mm, and suspends the small test tube with a thin wire, which is beneficial to retain more gas and is easy to collect. It is more conducive to the detection of gas components. Two strains of B88 and B237 strains with strong denitrification were screened out from 45 denitrifying bacteria by conventional methods. YB medium suitable for strain growth was screened from several commonly used denitrifying bacteria culture media, and determined. The optimum growth temperature of the strain was 30 °C, and the highest concentration of the strain in YB medium: B 8 8 was 6.1 × 10 8 · mL -1 ; B237 was 1.54 × 10 8 · mL -1 .
The identification of B88 and B237 strains and their industrial application are for further study.

Anthocyanin

Anthocyanidin, also known as anthocyanin, is a class of water-soluble natural pigments, flavonoid compounds, widely found in plants. It is also the main coloring substance in plant petals, and most of the colorful colors of fruits, vegetables and flowers are related to it.Anthocyanins belong to the flavonoids (flavonoids) of the phenolic compounds.

Anthocyanins provide a variety of benefits to the human body. Fundamentally, anthocyanins are a powerful anti
oxidizer, which protects the body from damage caused by a harmful substance called free radicals. Anthocyanins also enhance the elasticity of blood vessels, improve the circulatory system and smoothness of the skin, inhibit inflammation and allergies, and improve the flexibility of joints.
Also used in cosmetics, such as red anthocyanins for lipstick. These commercial pigments (in addition to grape skin pigment) is a common feature of light, heat, oxygen stability, microbial stability. Generally soluble in water and ethanol, insoluble in vegetable oil.

There are over 300 different anthocyanins in nature. They come from different fruits and vegetables such as purple sweet potatoes, lingonberries, cranberries, blueberries, black goji berries, grapes, elderberries, blackcurrants, purple carrots, and red kale, ranging in color from red to blue. These anthocyanins mainly contain Delchindin, Cyanidin, Petunidin and Peonidin. Of these, blueberries contain the largest amount of anthocyanins and have the most nutritional value.
