Cometabolic degradation of dibenzofuran and dibenzothiophene by a newly isolated carbazole-degrading sphingomonas sp. strain

Article Abstract:

The isolation and characterization of a gram-negative bacterium, Sphingomonas sp. strain XLDN2-5 is described. Different products from carbazole, dibenzofuran and dibenzothiophene degradation by strain XLDN2-5 are also identified by the investigation of several chemical properties.

Deep desulfurization of diesel oil and crude oils by a newly isolated Rhodococcus erythropolis strain

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted on the desulfurization of the crude oil, using the soil-isolated strain Rhodococcus erythropolis XP. It was observed that elimination of most of the organic sulfur compounds was detected after biodesulfurization.

The surfactant Tween 80 enhances biodesulfurization

Article Abstract:

The role of Tween 80 in aqueous and biphasic biodesulfirization processes is demonstrated. Tween is shown to decrease the product concentration associated with the cells, reducing product inhibition.
