Abstract: A novel aerobic microbial consortium with microbial degradation was enriched and isolated from river surface sediments,and its microbial community structure was identified and its degradation characteristics were studied. The microbial community structure of the consortium was analyzed by 16S rRNA gene high throughput sequencing,and the optimal growth and degradation conditions were determined by single factor experiment. The results showed that the consortium mainly included 83.35% of Diaphobiobacter,7.46% of Pseudomonas,1.67% of Castellaellasti,1.65% of Aquamicrobium,etc. The consortium degraded > 95.78% of 100 mg/L phenanthrene in 60 h,remained its efficient degradation rate between pH5 and pH11,and optimal growth temperature was 35℃.The effect on the consortium was small,and the degradation rate was still maintained at 97.26% when the salinity was 1%. The phenanthrene with a concentration of 400 mg/L was degraded in 7 d with the degradation rate 96.36%.The consortium not only has the ability of high-efficiency degradation,but also grows in a wide range of conditions and has strong compressive ability,which may provide new germplasm resources for the bioremediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs).
