Abstract: Abacterial strain HB-4 was isolated from stratum water in Huabei Oilfield, and identificated by polyphasic taxonomy basing on morphologic and physiologic methods, chemical composition analysis, genetic characteristicstest and 16S rRNA gene phylogenetic analysis. The result showed that the strain was a member of the genus Chelatococcus, and was belong to the known species of Chelatococcus daeguensis. 37℃ was its optimum growth temperature. The major polar lipids presented in strain HB-4 were DPG, PE, PG and PC. Major fatty acids were C18:1 ω7c (47.01%)and C19:0 cyclo ω8c(21.83%), and ubiquinone Q-10 was the predominant quinone. HB-4 had enzyme activity of oxidase, catalase, esterase (C4), Esterase lipase (C8), leucine arylamidase, valine arylamidase, cystine arylamidase, trypsin, chymotrypsin, acid phosphatase and naphthol-AS-BI-phosphate hydrolase.
