What is DBT Oxidation by Serratia marcescens UCP 1549 about?
The study investigates the microbial desulfurization of dibenzothiophene (DBT) by Serratia marcescens UCP 1549, which successfully converts DBT into biphenyl, a sulfur-free product. The bacterium demonstrated growth in the presence of DBT concentrations up to 2.0 mM, with complete removal of DBT after 96 hours of incubation. The findings suggest that S. marcescens utilizes the 4S metabolic pathway for effective desulfurization, indicating its potential for reducing sulfur content in diesel fuel.
