Geobacter benzoelyticum and application thereof

The invention discloses a geobacter benzoelyticum and an application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of microbial system classification and environmental biology. The geobacter benzoelyticum is named as (Geobacter benzoelyticum) Jerry-YX, is preserved in China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center (CGMCC) located in Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, No.3, No.1 Yard, Beichen West Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing on March 15, 2021, and has a preservation number of CGMCC No.22016. The geobacter benzoelyticum Jerry-YX contains three benzoic acid anaerobic degradation related genes, and when ferric citrate is used as an electron acceptor for anaerobic degradation of benzoic acid, the degradation efficiency is 43%. When the geobacter benzoelyticum is used for in-situ remediation, the accumulation of benzoate can be effectively slowed down, the degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon is promoted, and the geobacter benzoelyticum has a wide application prospect in t
