Screening,Mutation Breeding and Straw Degradation Effects of High-Yield Cellulase Strains
The aim of this study was to breed high-yield cellulose degrading bacteria to improve the efficiency of cellulose degradation.Cellulose degrading bacteria were screened from rumen fluid of beef cattle by Congo-Red staining method,and then high cellulose degrading bacteria were screened after(atmospheric room tem-perature plasma)ARTP mutagenesis,and the degradation effects of straw were studied.The results show as follows:1)the initial cellulose-degrading strain C8 was screened from rumen fluid of beef cattle.The holoen-zyme(FPA),exoglucanase(C1),endoglucanase(CMC)and β-glucosidase(β-Gase)activities of strain C8 were 3.96,1.08,2.21 and 0.51 U/mL,respectively,and the dry matter degradation rate of straw was 35.79%.It was biologically identified as Bacillus subtilis and named Bacillus subtilis C8.2)Using Bacillus subtilis C8 as the initial strain,the mutant strain AC83 was selected by ARTP mutagenesis,and its FPA,C,,CMC and β-Gase activities were 6.31,1.18,3.63 and 1.05 U/mL,respectively.Compared with the original strain,they increased by 59.34%,9.26%,64.25%and 105.88%,respectively.The dry matter degradation rate of straw was 43.64%,which was 21.93%higher than that of the initial strain.3)The mutant strain AC83 had good genetic stability after 6 successive generations of culture.In this study,the mutant strain AC83 is screened to have strong cellulose degradation ability,which provides more possibilities for improving feed con-version rate.[Chinese Journal of Animal Nutrition,2024,36(12):8126-8136]
