Title:
RECOMBINANT MICROORGANISM AND DESULFURIZATION METHOD UTILIZING THE SAME
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2004049116
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a method for carrying out a continuous desulfurization reaction of heterocyclic sulfur compounds utilizing recombinant microorganisms through eliminating inhibitory effects due to sulfate ions and/or hydroxy forms as the final products.
The recombinant microorganisms are produced by transferring microorganisms belonging to the genus Mycobacterium, especially those having the ability to methylate hydroxy compounds, with, in a functionable manner, a promoter constantly making an expression without being inhibited by sulfate ions and a desulfurization gene encoding an enzyme functioning to selectively cleave C-S bonds. The desulfurization method involves using said recombinant microorganisms.
