摘要

Phosphorus is an essential mineral for all living things, particularly plants. While phosphorus is a limited and non-renewable resource, global reserves of phosphorus are abundant. There are phosphate mines in more than 40 countries around the world, producing high-grade phosphate rock (27–36% P2O5), but low-grade phosphate rock (less than 27% P2O5) is neglected as phosphate rock waste (PRW). So, microbiological improvement of RPW grades is our main area of interest. Therefore, in Vitro biotreatment of RPW using Streptomyces coelicoflavus strain AUMC B- 535 was the main focus of this study. To improve the microbiological upgrade of RPW, the growth conditions of strain AUMC B- 535, including temperature, initial pH, incubation time, carbon source type, and UV radiation exposure time, were assessed. The strain grew well after 7 days of cultivation in 1.0 kg L−1 of 14.9% P2O5 RPW using D-glucose as the carbon source. The optimal temperature was 35 °C and the pH was 7 ± 0.2. UV rays with a wavelength of 254 nm exposure for 3 h leads to its activity. Biotreated RPW was found to contain six distinct layers under optimal growth conditions, whereas the control had only four layers. Also, the P2O5% rate increased by 14.9% to 15.38%. Technologies that are clean, efficient and affordable are in high demand worldwide. Green mineral beneficiation methods can benefit from the technology based on Streptomyces for treating PRW, as it can enhance the P2O5% grade of PRW by modifying the growth conditions of Streptomyces.
