Abstract
Abstract The atmospheric sulfur pollution is one of the major problem world is facing today. Combustion of low quality fossil fuels emitt sulfur dioxide gas. Precombustion desulfurization of fuels is a solution for reduction of atmospheric sulfur pollution. An actinomycetes, Nocardioides sp has been isolated from soil by enrichment culture technigue for the biodegradation of heterocyclic sulfur compound, dibenzothiophene (DBT). Resting cell suspension can degrade DBT with the release of sulfate. The investigation on DBT degradation by Nocardioidea has shown that the organism has got the potential for deaulfurization of petroleum crude.
