Title:

HIGH-QUALITY DESULFURIZATION METHOD BY USING RECOMBINANT MICROORGANISM

Document Type and Number:

Japanese Patent JP2004113117

Kind Code:

A

Abstract:

To provide a high-quality desulfurization method by which a colorless desulfurized petroleum can be produced by using a microorganism.

This desulfurization method using a recombinant microorganism involves allowing a Nocardia form bacterium (genus Gordonia, genus Rhodococcus or genus Mycobacterium) in which a carotenoid-producing gene group is destroyed to act on a sulfur-containing heterocyclic compound to provide the substantially colorless desulfurized petroleum.
