title: The surfactant tween 80 enhances biodesulfurization.
abstract: In biocatalytic conversions, substrates and products may display inhibitory or toxic effects on the biocatalyst. Rhodococcus erythropolis 1awq could further remove sulfur from hydrodesulfurized diesel oil, and the biodesulfurization was enhanced by the surfactant Tween 80. Tween 80 was shown to decrease the product concentration associated with the cells, reducing product inhibition.
