摘要

The plant rhizosphere harbors diverse microorganisms, including strains capable of volatile organic compound (VOC) uptake and air purification. This study isolated Lysinibacillus sp. LL4-1, a high-efficiency formaldehyde-degrading bacterium, from the root system of Epipremnum aureum (E. aureum) pre-treated with formaldehyde solution. The Gram-positive, rod-shaped, non-sporulating strain (1000 × 310 nm) demonstrated optimal degradation at pH 7.0, 35 °C, and 150 rpm agitation. Under these conditions, LL4-1 completely metabolized formaldehyde (50–1200 mg/L) in aqueous solutions, with biomass (OD600) increasing proportionally to formaldehyde concentration, peaking at 1.4 for 1200 mg/L at 22 h. When applied as a suspension (OD600 = 0.8) to potted plants E. aureum, Chlorophytum comosum (C. comosum), and Dracaena trifasciata (D. trifasciata), gaseous formaldehyde (5 ppm) removal efficiency significantly improved, particularly in C. comosum (daytime: 27.8 ± 2.03%; nighttime: 16.67% ± 2.52% enhancement). These findings indicate LL4-1’s dual capacity for efficient formaldehyde degradation in both aqueous and atmospheric phases, with successful application to phylloplane in host and non-host plants, suggesting promising applications for microbe-plant integrated air remediation systems.
