  • Publication number: 20090148881
    Abstract: The invention provides a strain of Geobacillus thermodenitrificans as well as the screening method and the uses thereof. The strain was deposited as the number CGMCC-1228 in the China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center of the China Committee of Culture Collection for Microorganisms. The strain was obtained by primary screening, re-screening, inoculation, domestication and propagation using the bacteria in the aqueous samples from the strata of oil field as the original screening strain. The strain screened in the invention belongs to the genus Geobacillus, which can tolerate a high temperature, and has good thermostability, which can be applied to the industrial production which need the condition of thermostable enzymes, such as fermentation, etc. With its ability of growing well in the oil-reservoir environment, degrading alkanes, decreasing viscosity and increasing fluidity of crude oil, the strain is able to remarkably enhance the yield of oil and improve the transporting efficiency of oil.
