- Summary
- Our immediate objective of this project is to characterize and purify the enzymes involved in degrading organic sulfur in coal from two well characterized organic sulfur-degrading strains, IGTS8 and K3B. The purification of these enzymes will facilitate the analysis of the structural organization of the genes encoding these enzymes. The characterization of these enzymes will be able to determine the true value of these enzymes towards the development of a practical process for coal desulfurization. Our long-term goal for this project is to overexpress the genes encoding these enzymes in their original host as well as in other microorganisms that can grow very well under the conditions suitable for coal desulfurization. Progress to date is described.
