Biofertilizers can replace chemical fertilizers to promote the plant growth without causing any pollution. The study of hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria (HOB) enrichment as biofertilizers from mixed culture is scarce. Our recent study shows that biofertilizing HOB are successfully enriched in a short hydraulic retention time of 10 h. While, the mechanism is unknown. This study intentionally used a two-stage method to enrich biofertilizing HOB specifically with nitrate as nitrogen source in Stage 1 and then 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) as nitrogen source in Stage 2. It was found Pseudomonas (34.46%, reported HOB) predominated in Stage 1, while Azospirillum (59.35%), Azoarcus (36%) were dominant genera and Azospirillum lipoferum strain DSM 1691 (50%), Azoarcus olearius strain DQS-4 (50%) were dominant species in Stage 2. The enriched HOB of Stage 2 showed ACC deaminase activity. Furthermore, they could also fix N and consume Ca(PO). Thus, the two-stage method can be used as a specific enrichment for HOB as biofertilizers, which extends the application of HOB in agriculture.
生物肥料可以替代化肥,在促进植物生长的同时不会造成任何污染。从混合培养物中富集产氢菌(HOB)作为生物肥料的研究还很少。我们最近的研究表明,在水力停留时间短至 10 小时的情况下,可以成功地从混合培养物中富集产氢菌。然而,其机制尚不清楚。本研究有意采用两段式方法,在第一阶段以硝酸盐作为氮源,专门富集具有生物肥料功能的产氢菌,然后在第二阶段以 1-氨基环丙烷-1-羧酸(ACC)作为氮源。结果发现,在第一阶段,假单胞菌(34.46%,报道的产氢菌)占优势,而在第二阶段,优势属为固氮螺菌(59.35%)、节杆菌(36%),优势种为施氏假单胞菌 DSM 1691(50%)和脱氮副球菌 DQS-4(50%)。第二阶段富集的产氢菌具有 ACC 脱氨酶活性。此外,它们还可以固定氮并消耗 Ca(PO)。因此,两段式方法可作为产氢菌作为生物肥料的特异性富集方法,扩展了产氢菌在农业中的应用。
