title: Selective biodegradation of S and N heterocycles by a recombinant Rhodococcus erythropolis strain containing carbazole dioxygenase.
abstract: The carbazole dioxygenase genes were introduced into a dibenzothiophene degrader. The recombinant Rhodococcus erythropolis SN8 was capable of efficiently degrading dibenzothiophene and carbazole simultaneously. SN8 could also degrade various alkylated derivatives of carbazole and dibenzothiophene in FS4800 crude oil by just a one-step bioprocess.
