Dibenzothiophene desulfurization in hydrocarbon environment by Staphylococcus sp. resting cells

Staphylococcus sp. strain S3/C desulfurized dibenzothiophene/n-hexadecane (3 mg ml^sup -1^) in a hydrocarbon aqueous biphasic culture. The resting cells decreased the sulfur content of the hydrocarbon phase by 57% at 2.2 mg l^sup -1^ h^sup -1^ in the absence of any additional carbon and sulfur sourc...

Description
Summary:Staphylococcus sp. strain S3/C desulfurized dibenzothiophene/n-hexadecane (3 mg ml^sup -1^) in a hydrocarbon aqueous biphasic culture. The resting cells decreased the sulfur content of the hydrocarbon phase by 57% at 2.2 mg l^sup -1^ h^sup -1^ in the absence of any additional carbon and sulfur source.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
