The invention relates to a
bacterial strain for producing a gel breaking
enzyme and an application thereof. The
bacterial strain for producing the gel breaking
enzyme is the Bacilluslichenformis M1-4
bacterial strain, and the preservation number is CGMCC NO.4511. The M1-4 bacterial strain is used for producing the gel breaking
enzyme and preparing a
bacteria liquid preparation. The bacterial strain obtained by the invention is high in enzyme production efficiency, and the enzyme output under the
industrial fermentation condition is greater than 240 U / ml. The
recovery method employed by the invention is relatively high in enzyme yield. The produced
fracturing fluid gel breaking enzyme has a
high activity within a wide range of temperature and is convenient in operation and less in usage amount. The
fracturing fluid gel breaking enzyme has a rapid and even
viscosity breaking property which enables the enzyme to completely degrade a
guar gum with fewer residues, and the
viscosity of a fracturing liquid after gel breaking is less than 5.0 mPa.s. Based on the characteristics of the gel breaking enzyme for cleaning
fracturing fluid, the disclosed bacterial strain in the invention can not only be used for the conventional fracturing gel breaker construction operation, but also can be used for a remedial measure of a fracturing operation failure.
