Purification, characterization, and overexpression of flavin reductase involved in dibenzothiophene desulfurization by Rhodococcus erythropolis D-1
Article Abstract:
An enzyme isolated from Rhodococcus erythropolis D-1 that reduces flavin mononucleotide is described. This bacterium removes sulfur from dibenzothiophene to form 2-hydroxybiphenyl.

Kinetic analyses of desulfurization of dibenzothiopene by Rhodococcus erythropolis in batch and fed-batch cultures
Article Abstract:
Quantitative studies are carried out to investigate the desulfurization of selected thiopenes by Rhodococcus erythropolis N1-36 in batch and fed-batch cultures. Results indicate that an authentic desulfurization phenotype exists in the Rhodococcus genus. The data also suggest that production of the desulfurization product in the cultures is strongly dependent on the pH level and cell growth rate.

Kinetic analyses of desulfurization of dibenzothiophene by Rhodococcus erythropolis in continuous cultures
Article Abstract:
The desulphurization of dibenzothiophene by Rhodococcus erythropolis N1-36 in continuous culture is affected by cultivation temperature. The optimal temperature for cell growth and desulphurization is 30 degree celsius. The bacterial desulphurization of fossil fuels is regulated by intact bacteria or cell free systems. Desulphurization phenotype of Rhodococcus erythropolis is a means of beneficiating fossil fuels.
