Abstract
Different sulfur contents of diesel oils were used for biodesulfurization to study the desulfurization capacity of Gordonia sp. SC-10 in oil-water two-phase reaction system. Gordonia sp. SC-10 showed great properties in desulfurizing diesel oil with different sulfur contents. This bacterium could decrease sulfur contents in different diesel oils from 194.7 ± 3.7 to 30.4 ± 0.5mg/l and from 3035.3 ± 23.8 to 1792.8 ± 48.9mg/l, respectively. Furthermore, this bacterium could desulfurize broad range of organosulfur compounds and had strong desulfurization activity against alkylated DBTs. For low-sulfur diesel oil, sulfur could be removed from 10.2 ± 0.1 to 5.0 ± 0.1mg/l. The newly isolated bacteria Gordonia sp. SC-10 showed a good performance in desulfurizing diesel oils, and it might be a useful desulfurizing biocatalyst to enable the industrialized application of biodesulfurization process.
