چکیده مقاله:

The Rhodococcus FMF (R. FMF) native bacterium was isolated from soil contaminated with oil in Tabrizrefinery. This bacterium carries three genes sox (dszA, B, C) on its genomic DNA. Preliminary studieshave proved that R. FMF strain possess desulfurization activity. In this work soxA and B genes wereamplified by PCR, after designing a pair of suitable primers. Analysis of PCR products on agarose gelelectrophoresis showed a sharp band in the 2.46 kb region, belonging to soxA and B genes. In addition,dot blotting using the sox4 probe, confirmed the presence of sox operon in the PCR product. The standardGibbs test was designed for desulfurization activity assay in which production of 2HBP (μM) in four bacterialstrains [R. FMF, P. aeruginosa (pESOX4), E.coli DH5α (pESOX3) and E. coli CC118λpir (pESOX4)]was recognized and compared. After 41h of dibenzothiophene (DBT) addition, Pseudomonas aeruginosa(pESOX4) produced 4.8 μM 2HBP and the local R. FMF produced 3.8 μM of DBT. Comparison of 2HBP production in the standard strain of P. aeruginosa (pESOX4) with the isolated R. FMF strain fromTabriz refinery revealed that the later is equally capable of desulfurizing DBT.

Sulfonate desulfurization in Rhodococcus from wheat rhizosphere communities.

Organically bound sulfur makes up about 90% of the total sulfur in soils, with sulfonates often the dominant fraction. Actinobacteria affiliated to the genus Rhodococcus were able to desulfonate arylsulfonates in wheat rhizospheres from the Broadbalk long-term field wheat experiment, which includes plots treated with inorganic fertilizer with and without sulfate, with farmyard manure, and unfer...

Characterization of the desulfurization genes from Rhodococcus sp. strain IGTS8.

Rhodococcus sp. strain IGTS8 possesses an enzymatic pathway that can remove covalently bound sulfur from dibenzothiophene (DBT) without breaking carbon-carbon bonds. The DNA sequence of a 4.0-kb BstBI-BsiWI fragment that carries the genes for this pathway was determined. Frameshift and deletion mutations established that three open reading frames were required for DBT desulfurization, and the g...
