The atmospheric sulfur pollution is one of the major problem world is facing today. Combustion of low quality fossil fuels emit sulfur dioxide gas. Precombustion desulfurization of fuel is a solution for reduction of atmospheric sulfur pollution. Anactinomycetes, Nocardioides sp has been isolated from soil by enrichment culture technique 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 Nocardioides has shown that the organism has got the potential for desulfurization of petroleum crude. 14 refs., 3 figs., 1 tab.
