Isolation and identification of the thermophilic alkaline desulphuricant strain

Abstract

A desulfurization strain that belongs to the thermophilic alkaline desulphuricant is designated as strain GDJ-3 and isolated from Inner Mongolia, China. The colony of the strain shows tiny, yellow, or white-yellow, and it becomes henna with the protracting of cultivated time. The cells are bacilliform (0.3 -0.6 × 1.0-1.2 μm), motive, and Gram negative. The strain GDJ-3 is able to utilize respectively the thiosulphate, sulfate, sulfite, or sulfide as sulfur source, utilize the carbon dioxide as the carbon source, and utilize the ammonium or nitrate as the nitrogen source. According to GenBank data, 16s RNA results of GDJ-3 are in good agreement with Alpha proteobacterrium sp. (97%) and Ochrobactrum sp. (98%). For GDJ-3, the optimum growth temperature is at 45℃, the optimum pH is at 8.5-8.8, and the optimum rocking speed of sorting table is at 150 r/min. Under the optimum culture condition, the cells of the strain can live for about 18 h. In the desulfurization solution, which is prepared according to the composition of DDS solution, the objectionable constituents of sodium thiosulphate and sodium sulfide were added factitiously, and the bacterial cell concentration was set at 10 7 /mL. After the regeneration of the above desulfurization solution by the strain cells, the concentration of sodium thiosulphate was decreased by 14.75 g/L (percentage loss of content 13.21%), the concentration of sodium sulfide was decreased by 0.76 g/L (percentage loss of content 87.36%) in the desulfurization solution in 9.5 hours, and sulfur appeared. Maybe, this kind of strain can be used as the regeneration's bacterial source of DDS solution.thermophilic alkaline desulphurican, thiobacillus, strain identification, DDS catalyst

Stabilized Rechargeable Aqueous Zinc Batteries Using Ethylene Glycol as Water Blocker

“…In particular, the higher the concentration of EG, the closer the v a ‐OH peak is to that of ZnSO 4 ⋅ 7H 2 O, indicating that H 2 O is trapped by EG, which greatly limits the activity of water molecules. In addition, the change in coexistence can also be observed in the stretching vibration absorption peak of O−H ( v s ‐OH) ranging from 3300 cm −1 to 3500 cm −1 . After adding ZnSO 4 (2 M ZnSO 4 /H 2 O solution, the blue line of Figure a), the peak of v s ‐OH (at 3345 cm −1 in pristine water) is shifted 115 cm −1 towards lower frequencies due to strong interaction between Zn 2+ and O in the water molecules.…”

Polyethylene glycol-doped BiZn2VO6as a high-efficiency solar-light-activated photocatalyst with substantial durability toward photodegradation of organic contaminations

“…[25][26][27] Unlike the observations for many reports, in this study, PEG was used as a doping source, which could introduce a rich hydrogenatedenvironment around the synthesized photocatalysts. In this line, Zhang et al 28 demonstrated that water-soluble PEG has strong hydrogen bonding interactions between hydrogen in water and the hydroxyl oxygen in PEG, resulting in the disruption of hydrogen bonding when PEG dissolved in water provides a rich hydrogenated-environment for the growth of nanoparticles. In addition, theoretical as well as experimental studies have revealed a novel type of behavior for hydrogen as an impurity in semiconducting materials.…”

Biological decomposition of Na2S2O3 into sulfur by a newly isolated facultative thermophilic alkaline desulphuricant strain

“…In the previous work [15] , we described that the new facultative thermophilic alkaline desulphuricant strain was isolated from neutral soli and its cultivated conditions were confirmed. In this work, the strain exhibited the strong regenerative activity when it was applied in the regenerative processes of the solution containing sulfur compounds (SCS), which was used to simulate the industrial DDS solution.…”

“…The bacterial strain [15] , GDJ-3, was isolated from neutral soils. The strain can utilize Na 2 S 2 O 3 , Na 2 S, and (or) NaHS as sulfur sources and was enriched in the industrial DDS solution, which was sterilized at 394.2 K for 20 min before all regenerative experiments were conducted.…”
