Abstract:

This study aims to alleviate the accumulation pressure of urban garden waste, achieve the recycling of renewable resources, provide new approaches for the treatment of garden waste, and offer scientific support for the construction of a green and low-carbon waste treatment system. In this study, highly efficient cellulose-degrading strains were obtained from garden waste under natural fermentation and composting conditions, using sodium carboxymethyl cellulose as the sole carbon source. After screening, separation and purification, the strains were obtained. The initial screening was conducted by Congo red staining and filter paper strip disintegration, and the cellulase activity was determined by re-screening. The strains were identified by morphological and molecular biological identification methods. The research showed that after screening, isolation and purification, a cellulose-degrading fungus FH10 was obtained, and the enzyme activities of its filter paper, endoglucanase, exocytoglucanase and β-glucosylase were 0.5558 U/mL, 0.4916 U/mL, 1.107 U/mL and 1.663 U/mL, respectively. The FH10 strain was identified as Fusarium oxysporum by comparison with the NCBI-BLAST database. The FH10 strain is a highly efficient cellulose-degrading strain that can effectively promote the degradation of cellulose, laying a working foundation for the further development and utilization of microbial composting agents or enzyme preparations.
