Title: Method for metabolizing carbazole in petroleum

Abstract

A method for selective cleavage of C--N bonds genes that encode for at least one enzyme suitable for conversion of carbazole to 2-aminobiphenyl-2,3-diol are combined with a gene encoding an amidase suitable for selectively cleaving a C--N bond in 2-aminobiphenyl-2,3-diol, forming an operon that encodes for cleavage of both C--N bonds of said carbazole. The operon is inserted into a host culture which, in turn, is contacted with the carbazole, resulting in selective cleavage of both C--N bonds of the carbazole. Also disclosed is a new microorganism that expresses a carbazole degradation trait constitutively and a method for degrading carbazole employing this microorganism.
