The invention discloses a chlorpyrifos degrading bacteria Erwiniaxishuaiensis SCU-B244<T> = CGMCCNo.1.12772<T> = KCTC42022<T> (Figure) (i). Through the separation from the cricket body surface, screening, physiological and biochemical identification, the bacteria is identified as gram negative and facultative aerobic bacteria, which has cream bacterium colony, and is oxidase negative and catalase positive; the cells mainly comprises fatty acids of C16:0, C16:1delta<9>, C18:1delta<9>, C11:0<3-OH> and C14:0<3-OH>, GC content in cells is 49.3%-49.5%; and the bacteria has alkaline phosphatase, esterase (C4), lipase (C8), acid phosphatase, beta-galactosidase and beta-glucosidase activities. The bacteria has one day degradation rate on chlorpyrifos of 44.64%, and can be widely used in the fields of development of chlopyrifos degrading enzyme and various types of biological engineering enzyme preparations.
