Abstract: We obtained a low-temperature resistant crude oil degrading strain known as YF28-1(8) from the soil samples in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Qilian mountain, whose degradation rate was (57.90±3.86)%. Besides, after a preliminary identification on the basis of investigation on its biochemical and biological characteristics and 16S rRNA homology analysis, we defined this strain as Rhodococcus erythropolis. In addition, we drew a conclusion about degradation capability by means of GC-MS, UV-spectrophotometry, gravimetry that YF28-1(8) was able to biodegrade all alkane constituents in different degrees and especially effective to linear saturated alkane. The initial optimum conditions of this strain included: pH value at 7.5, temperature at 30 ℃ and inoculation size of 800 μL and its quantity and degradation rate could reach maximum in only 8 days, meanwhile, surfactant named Tween 80 could only slightly improve its degradation rate.

Key words: low-temperature, crude oil degrading bacterial, GC-MS, degradation capability
