Abstract:

A highly efficient indole-degrading bacterium strain IDO5 was identified in the present study. Herein,the indole-degrading ability of IDO5 in pig manure waste water was mainly investigated. Firstly,IDO5 was identified by morphology and 16S rRNA sequence analysis,and the degrading effect of IDO5 on indole and the types of substrates were preliminary analyzed. Secondly,the effects of rotational speed,temperature,pH and carbon source on the degradation of indole in pig manure waste water by IDO5 were compared. Finally,the structure and degradation pathway of indole degraded by IDO5 were analyzed by GC-MS. The results showed that IDO5 could not only use indole as the carbon source for growth,but also degrade 3-methylindole,phenol,cresol and other pollutants,thus IDO5 had a broad substrate spectrum. The optimal conditions for IDO5 degrading indole in the pig manure were as:temperature 37oC,pH 9 and rotary speed 170 r/min. Under these conditions,98.2% of indole in the pig manure wastewater was degraded within 24 h,i.e.,the removal rate was quite high. IDO5 removed 93.7% indole even when an additional 100 mg/L indole was added. IDO5 formed a red product during the degradation of indole. The degradation of indole by strain IDO5 may be through the pathway of indole → isatin → anthranilic acid → 2-methylbenzalde after analyzed by GC-MS. Strain IDO5 not only has strong indole-degrading ability in a wide pH range,but also can act on a variety of indole derivatives and other compounds. Therefore,strain IDO5 can effectively degrade indole in livestock and poultry breeding waste water under a wide range of conditions,and has certain application value.
