| Abstract | The transformations of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydrodibenzothiophene (THDBT) were investigated with pure cultures of hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria. Metabolites were extracted from cultures with dichloromethane (DCM) and analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) with flame photometric, mass, and Fourier transform infrared detectors. Three 1-methylnaphthalene (1-MN)-utilizing Pseudomonas strains oxidized the sulfur atom of THDBT to give the sulfoxide and sulfone. They also degraded the benzene ring to yield 3-hydroxy-2-formyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzothiophene. A cell suspension of a cyclohexane-degrading bacterium oxidized the alicyclic ring to give a hydroxy-substituted THDBT and a ketone, and it oxidized the aromatic ring to give a phenol, but no ring cleavage products were detected. GC analyses with an atomic emission detector, using the sulfur-selective mode, were used to quantify the transformation products from THDBT and dibenzothiophene (DBT). The cyclohexane degrader oxidized 19% of the THDBT to three metabolites. The cometabolism of THDBT and DBT by the three 1-MN-grown Pseudomonas strains resulted in a much greater depletion of the condensed thiophenes than could be accounted for in the metabolites detected by GC analysis, but there was no evidence of sulfate release from DBT. These 1-MN-grown strains transiently accumulated 3-hydroxy-2-formylbenzothiophene (HFBT) from DBT, but it was subsequently degraded. On the other hand, Pseudomonas strain BT1d, which was maintained on DBT as a sole carbon source, accumulated 52% of the sulfur from DBT as HFBT over 7 days, and, in total, 82% of the sulfur from DBT was accounted for by the GC method used. Lyophilization of cultures grown on 1-MN with DBT and methyl esterification of the residues gave improved recoveries of total sulfur over that obtained by DCM extraction and GC analysis. This suggested that the further degradation of HFBT by these cultures leads to the formation of organosulfur compounds that are too polar to be extracted with DCM. We believe that this is the first attempt to quantify the products of DBT degradation by the so-called Kodama pathway. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
