Screening,identification and optimization of salt-tolerant ammonia
nitrogen degrading fungus Fusarium sp.
Abstract
In order to solve the problem of water pollution caused by the
accumulation of ammonia nitrogen, the fungus can degrade ammonia
nitrogen efficiently and tolerate salt was isolated from the saline land
of Shanyin County, Shuozhou, Shanxi Province, China. The fungus was
identified as Fusarium sp. and named X-8 by morphological
observation and ITS sequence homology analysis, and further analysed the
effects of single and multi factors on the degradation of ammonia
nitrogen under different environmental conditions (temperature, pH,
inoculum amount, initial ammonia nitrogen concentration, salt
concentration, C/N), and carried out three-factor, three-level
orthogonal tests. The results showed that the degradation rate of
ammonia nitrogen by X-8 could reach 93.47% when the temperature was
37.37℃, pH was 8.12, and the inoculum amount was 4.72 g/L.
