[Method] DF3, an anaerobic bacillus producing ethanol, was isolated from produced liquid from oil layer of Dagang oil field with anaerobic isolation technique. The phylogenetic position was analyzed by physiological and biochemical identification and phylogeny of 16S rDNA sequence. The metabolites were analyzed by gas chromatograph. [Result] The strain DF3 was a strict anaerobic thermophilic bacterium, which was straight in rod shape,and gram negative. Besides, it was 0.42 μmx（1.60-5.20） iJm in length. The strains can be soli- tary,in pairs or string and apical spore usually produced. Its growth temperature was 45-78 and 65 ℃ was the optimum. Many substances could be used as carbon sources, including glucose, xylose, fructose, ribose, mannose, arabinose, sucrose, galactose, lactose, cellobiose, melizitose, raffinose-, and starch. The similarity between strain DF3 and T. pseudoethanolicus achieved 99.7%. The main product of glucose and xylose fermentation was ethanol. After the culture plan was optimized,the final concentration of ethanol was 2.0 g/L. [Conclusion] It was proved through experiments that the strain DF3 was one of the strains with higher activity to produce ethanol at present and it could produce 2.0 g/L ethanol from xylose metabolization at 65 ℃. It has been demonstrated that DF3 is one of the known strains with high-production to produce ethanol,for example, 2.0 g/L ethano at 65℃. Presently, all the high-yield ethanol can be produced from metabolic xylose strains of metabolic xylose were isolat- ed by foreign countries, therefore, isolation of strain DF3 has provided an excellent original strain for studying ethanol production from lignocellulose in China.展开更多
