All rights reserved.Bacteria capable of desulfurization of organic substances in coal and petroleum are required to improve the quality of the fuel. We have thus isolated bacteria from coal sources and examined their growth and desulfurization activities in monocultures. Three viable strains of bacteria were obtained using two procedures: one-step enrichment and gradual enrichment. A medium was used which was enriched with dibenzothiophene, the most dominant organic sulfur in coal. Based on analysis of 16S rRNA gene, it was found that the bacteria were closely related to Moraxella osloensis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enhydrobacter aerosaccus. The evolutionary relationships amongst these bacteria were analyzed by phylogenetic inference and a phylogenetic tree constructed. The growth of the viable bacteria were observed independently in medium containing dibenzothiophene and coal. Moraxella osloensis has not been previously reported as a bacteria associated with coal, or in using organic sulfur in coal. However this study demonstrated that the most suitable medium for growth was a coal medium, indicating that the isolates may potentially be developed as a monoculture for coal desulfurization. The other two isolates showed unsteady growth, and further study is needed to enable their growth in mixed culture and to meet the requisites of their natural interactions.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Desulfurization,Dibenzothiophene,Enhydrobacter aerosaccus,Moraxella osloensis,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Subbituminous coal[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
