Description 297-302
Present study describes the isolation of three
organo-sulfur tolerant microbial strains designated NA-1, NA-2 and OF-SD (isolated
at pH 7) from samples of Assam
(India)
coal mines. NA-1, NA-2 and OF-SD were tested positive for utilization of ~100mM
thiophene and ~50 mM each of phenyl disulphide and dibenzothiophene in presence
of media with extremely good growth pattern (generation time). Of the three
strains, OF-SD characterized as Bacillus thioparans by >1200bp 16S
ribosomal RNA partial gene sequencing was having an excellent generation time of 0.6h. These bacterial
isolates are now tested for their ability to degrade the sulfur inclusions in
coal, which will be further beneficial for industrial aspects.
