Summary
Oxidative conversion of these S- and N-containing hydrocarbons to water-soluble S- or N-containing organic compounds has been achieved at conversion efficiencies in excess of 90% within 12 hours. Several bacterial species were isolated which attack oxidatively specific S- and N-containing constituents present in crude oil and synfuels. The bacterial-mediated oxidations are obligate aerobic reactions and effect the conversion of S- and N-containing constituents to water-soluble products with the sulfur and nitrogen atom remaining bound in covalent form in the water-soluble organic moiety. Dibenzothiophene and carbazole were used in the experiments.
