Biodesulfuration of DBT in model oil by resting cell of Pseudomonas putida CECT5279. Process enhancement
نویسندگان
چکیده
Biodesulfurization (BDS) can be used as complementary technology to traditional hydrodesulfurization (HDS) process for sulfur reduction in fossil fuel. One of the mayor problems of BDS is the lower desulfurization yield obtained due to the low solubility of organosulfur compounds in water phase where microorganisms survive. In this work, the use of chemical surfactants largely increase the process yield conducted in resting cell operation mode.

Analysis of dibenzothiophene desulfurization in a recombinant Pseudomonas putida strain.
Biodesulfurization was monitored in a recombinant Pseudomonas putida CECT5279 strain. DszB desulfinase activity reached a sharp maximum at the early exponential phase, but it rapidly decreased at later growth phases. A model two-step resting-cell process combining sequentially P. putida cells from the late and early exponential growth phases was designed to significantly increase biodesulfuriza...

Background: The combustion of sulfur-rich fossil fuels leads to release of sulfur oxide pollution in the environment. In biodesulfurization process, an organism is able to remove sulfur from fossil fuels without decreasing the caloric value of those substrates. The main aim of this research was to design a recombinant microorganism to remove the highest amount of sulfur compounds in fossil fuel...

Sulfur content in fossil fuels is known to be the most important anthropogenic cause of sulfur oxide emissions to the atmosphere. In order to avoid health, environmental and technical problems caused by this compound, legislation imposes restrictive limitations to fuel sulfur content. Biodesulfurization (BDS) can become a complementary technology to hydrodesulfurization (HDS) to face this situa...

The 4S pathway is the most studied bioprocess for the removal of the recalcitrant sulfur of aromatic heterocycles present in fuels. It consists of three sequential functional units, encoded by the dszABCD genes, through which the model compound dibenzothiophene (DBT) is transformed into the sulfur-free 2-hydroxybiphenyl (2HBP) molecule. In this work, a set of synthetic dsz cassettes were implan...
متن کاملThe conversion of nitrate in water to diatomic nitrogen gas by immobilized Pseudomonas stutzeri on vermiculite
Denitrification is a reduction of nitrate by heterotrophic and autotrophic bacteria that may ultimately produce molecular nitrogen (N2) through a series of intermediate nitrogen compounds.Vermiculite is a hydrous phyllosilicate mineral (Mg, Fe+2,Fe+3)3[(Al,Si)4O10](OH)2·4H2O with several layers for bacterial immobilization. The goal of this study was removal of nitrate from water with vermiculi...
