[Breeding, optimization and community structure analysis of non-photosynthetic CO2 assimilation microbial flora].
Isolation and screening from sea water and sediments, and the optimization of electron donor and inorganic carbon source structure were performed for obtaining microbial flora with high efficient inorganic carbon fixation without the light and hydrogen. In addition, the structure of the microbial flora was studied through 16S rDNA sequence analysis and contrast for providing theoretical basis to improve carbon fixation efficiency through optimizing microbial flora structure. The result showed that non-photosynthetic microbial flora with the capacity of inorganic carbon fixation under the general aerobic and anaerobic conditions could be obtained from the sea by long-term domestication and isolation. Inorganic carbon fixation efficiency of the microbial flora was enhanced significantly by adding of sodium thiosulfate, sodium sulfide and hydrogen as electron donor. Under the aerobic and anaerobic conditions with sodium thiosulfate as electron donor, the efficiency of inorganic carbon assimilation was 10.44 mg/L and 12.56 mg/L respectively. The assimilation efficiency of the microbial flora with mixed inorganic carbon source was higher than that with single carbon source. When CO2, sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate were added as carbon sources, carbon fixation efficiency of the microbial flora under the aerobic and anaerobic condition was 110 mg x (L x d)(-1) and 72 mg x (L x d)(-1) respectively which had been closed to the efficiency of hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria. The analysis results showed that the predominant species of the microbial flora varied significantly after the adding of different electron donor. And 11 species of the 16 predominant species in the microbial flora was uncultured. It means that the microbial flora could only exist in symbiotic manner. The inorganic carbon fixation effect of the microbial flora may be the results of co-function of multi-microbial species. Therefore, the optimization of microbial flora structure and proportion is benefit for the further improvement of carbon fixation efficiency.
