Obtainment and Inoculation of Acinetobacter pittii Strain JJ-2, and Combined Action with Plants for Formaldehyde and CO2 Removal: A Research Study

A formaldehyde-degrading bacterium JJ-2 was isolated from the rhizosphere of Chlorophytum and identified as Acinetobacter pittii by colony morphology and 16S rDNA sequence analysis. Further studies showed that under optimal conditions, JJ-2 could maintain activity for six cycles at an initial formaldehyde concentration of 450 mg L−1. At the same time, the complete degradation time was shortened from 12 to 6 h. When the JJ-2 strain was inoculated into sterile soil, the surface spray method had the best effect, and the removal efficiency of 5 ppm formaldehyde increased by 22.63
