Abstract

The use of microorganisms in environmental biotreatment is gaining attention, particularly Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis), recognized for its effectiveness in wastewater treatment and soil remediation. Its success stems from its diverse biological activities and adaptability, which improve environmental quality and ecological balance. This paper reviews the remediation capabilities and mechanisms of B. subtilis, focusing on its applications in water purification and soil pollution management. B. subtilis facilitates pollutant degradation and adsorption through enzyme production, organic acids, unique cell wall properties, and interactions with other microorganisms. The article addresses current challenges and future directions, emphasizing the need for enhanced cultivation, screening, and genetic engineering of functional strains. Understanding the interactions of these strains with other microorganisms and studying their ecological and toxicological impacts are essential for optimizing microbial remediation, providing both theoretical and practical foundations for bioremediation efforts.

枯草芽孢杆菌作为环境污染的优良微生物处理剂的研究进展

微生物在环境生物处理中的应用日益受到重视，特别是枯草芽孢杆菌（B. subtilis），因其在废水处理和土壤修复方面的有效性而得到认可。它的成功源于其多样化的生物活动和适应性，改善了环境质量和生态平衡。本文综述了枯草芽孢杆菌的修复能力和机制，重点介绍了其在水净化和土壤污染治理中的应用。枯草芽孢杆菌通过产酶、有机酸、独特的细胞壁性质以及与其他微生物的相互作用促进污染物的降解和吸附。本文阐述了目前面临的挑战和未来的发展方向，强调了加强功能菌株的培养、筛选和基因工程的必要性。了解这些菌株与其他微生物的相互作用并研究其生态和毒理学影响对于优化微生物修复至关重要，为生物修复工作提供理论和实践基础。
