Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Biotechnology
  • Environmental Science

Background:

  • Corn straw is an abundant lignocellulosic agricultural byproduct.
  • Inappropriate disposal leads to resource waste and ecological crises.
  • Microbial degradation offers an efficient solution for straw management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Isolate and characterize actinomycete strains with lignocellulose degradation capabilities.
  • Investigate the lignocellulose-degrading mechanisms of isolated strains.
  • Evaluate the potential of a microbial consortium for corn straw decomposition and its impact on soil microbial diversity.

Main Methods:

  • Isolation of actinomycete strains from cold region soil.
  • Microbial property assessment and taxonomic status determination.
  • Genome functional annotation, COG, and CAZyme analyses.
  • Straw-returning tests with a microbial consortium (G123).
  • Microbial diversity analysis using 16S rRNA sequencing.

Main Results:

  • Three Streptomyces strains (G1T, G2T, G3T) with efficient lignocellulose degradation were identified.
  • Genome analysis revealed numerous genes encoding carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) like cellulase and endoglucanase.
  • The G123 consortium effectively degraded corn straw, reducing recalcitrant bonds and active components.
  • Straw returning with G123 significantly altered soil microbial diversity, increasing the relative abundance of Proteobacteria.

Conclusions:

  • The isolated Streptomyces strains possess significant potential for lignocellulose hydrolysis.
  • The G123 consortium offers a viable biological strategy for corn straw treatment.
  • This research provides new insights into microbial solutions for agricultural waste management and soil health improvement.
