Abstract:
Condensed thiophenes comprise a significant portion of the organosulfur compounds in petroleum and in other products from fossil fuels. Dibenzothiophene (DBT) has served as a model compound in biodegradation studies for over two decades. However, until quite recently, few other organosulfur compounds were studied, and their fates in petroleum-contaminated environments are largely unknown. This paper presents a review of the types of organosulfur compounds found in petroleum and summarizes the scant literature on toxicity studies with condensed thiophenes. Reports on the biodegradation of benzo

Abstract:
An investigation of the cometabolic degradation of thiophene in the presence of benzene has been performed in a continuous biofilm system in order to study the kinetics of this conversion. The study showed result that thiophene interferes with the metabolism of benzene: benzene is not completely mineralised in the presence of thiophene. The micro-organisms are inactivated by thiophene, its metabolites or the metabolites of benzene. For low ratios of thiophene to benzene in the inlet of the reactor, the bacteria seem to adapt to thiophene and regain part of their activity that was lost when thi

Abstract:
Abstract A new biodesulphurization method has been considered using Pseudomonas aeruginosa supported on polyethylene (PE) for biodesulphurization (BDS) of thiophene as an aromatic sulphur model compound of crude oils. Also the biodegradation of thiophene has been modified in the presence of potassium hexacyanoferrate(III) as a terminal electron acceptor to approach the maximum biodesulphurization efficiency.

Abstract:
The present study explores the important chemical features of diverse petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) responsible for their biodegradation by developing partial least squares (PLS) regression-based quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) models. The biodegradability is estimated in terms of biodegradation half-life (Logt1/2). All the PLS models were extensively validated by different internationally acceptable internal (R2= 0.849–0.861; Q2 = 0.833–0.849; R2adj = 0.845–0.858) and external (Q2F1= 0.825-0.848; Q2F2 = 0.822–0.845) validation parameters.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Dibenzothiophene is a sulfur heterocycle found in crude oils and coal. The biodegradation of dibenzothiophene through the Kodama pathway by Pseudomonas sp. strain BT1d leads to the formation of three disulfides: 2-oxo-2-(2-thiophenyl)ethanoic acid disulfide, 2-oxo-2-(2-thiophenyl)ethanoic acid-2-benzoic acid disulfide, and 2,2′-dithiodibenzoic acid. When provided as the carbon and sulfur source in liquid medium, 2,2′-dithiodibenzoic acid was degraded by soil enrichment cultures. Two bacterial isolates, designated strains RM1 and RM6, degraded 2,2′-dithiodibenzoic acid when combined in

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Several investigations have identified benzothiophene-2,3-dione in the organic solvent extracts of acidified cultures degrading dibenzothiophene via the Kodama pathway. In solution at neutral pH, the 2,3-dione exists as 2-mercaptophenylglyoxylate, which cyclizes upon acidification and is extracted as the 2,3-dione. The fate of these compounds in microbial cultures has never been determined. This study investigated the abiotic reactions of 2-mercaptophenylglyoxylate incubated aerobically in mineral salts medium at neutral pH. Oxidation led to the formation of 2-oxo-2-(2-thiophenyl)etha

Abstract:
Previous studies showed that benzothiophene and 3- and 5-methylbenzothiophenes are oxidized by some bacteria to yield their corresponding sulfones, which were not subsequently degraded. In this study, a filamentous bacterium was isolated, which grew on each of these three sulfones as its sole carbon, sulfur, and energy source. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing and scanning electron microscopy, the isolate was found to belong to the genus Pseudonocardia and assigned the strain designation DB1. Benzothiophene sulfone and 3-methylbenzothiophene sulfone were more readily biodegraded than 5-methylb
