【摘要】 以筛选得到的红球菌SDUZAWQ为对象,研究其在不同浓度的有机硫化合物二苯并噻吩(DBT)存在下的脱硫能力,以及在0.2mmolLDBT和不同浓度Na2SO4同时存在下的脱硫情况。当DBT浓度高达6mmolL时,菌株仍能生长,而且检测出产物2-羟基联苯(2-HBP)的存在,说明该菌株具有耐受较高浓度DBT的能力。当DBT和Na2SO4同时存在时,DBT为菌株SDUZAWQ所利用,并且也检测出2-HBP,并非如文献所报道的红球菌在无机硫存在下不代谢DBT,表明该菌株能够耐受一定浓度的无机硫酸盐。对相关脱硫基因的克隆和测序结果显示,完整脱硫基因dszABC、其上游调控序列和dszD的序列与模式菌株RhodococcuserythropolisIGTS8的同源性分别是99%、100%和100%。更多还原

【Abstract】 Removal of sulfur from petroleum can be accomplished by various means. One method is to use microorganisms, such as bacteria. In the present study, strain Rhodococcus sp. SDUZAWQ was employed to test the effects of various concentrations of dibenzothiophene (DBT) and sulfate, had on this removal process. Desulfurization was accomplished, using Basal Salts Medium (BSM), supplemented with 0.2mmol/L DBT and different concentrations of Na-2SO-4 . Growth of SDUZAWQ was pronounced, even when the concentration of DBT was increased to 6mmol/L. Furthermore, it should be noted that the end product of DBT desulfurization, 2 hydroxybiphenyl (2-HBP), was detected as well. This finding was significant because it demonstrated the bacteria’s ability to withstand high concentrations of organosulfur. Dibenzothiophene was utilized when both DBT and Na-2SO-4 were present in the culture medium. Additionally, 2-HBP was produced. These data are in contrast to previous studies that indicated that DBT could not be metabolized by Rhodococcus sp. in the presence of sulfate. Finally, cloning and sequencing of the gene cluster dszABC, its upstream regulatory sequence and dszD, demonstrated that they share 99%, 100% and 100% with those of R. erythropolis IGTS8, respectively.更多还原
