✦ Synopsis

Four out of 187 strains, from enrichment cultures of dibenzothiophene (DBT), grew on DBT or thiophene 2-carboxylate as S sources. The four isolates, presumptively identified as Agrobacterium sp., Xanthomonas sp. and Corynebacterium spp., individually and together desulphurized DBT, producing 2-hydroxybiphenyl and sulphate.

Numerous purified and characterized sulfate-reducing bacteria and bacterial communities isolated from oil-field production facilities were shown to convert dibenzothiophene (DBT) into biphenyl (BP). The maximum degree of conversion to biphenyl was 1.14 % and 0.39% for purified sulfatereducing bacter
