Abstract excerpt
Sulfur compounds in fossil fuels are a major source of environmental pollution, and microbial desulfurization has emerged as a promising technology for removing sulfur under mild conditions. The enzyme TdsC from the thermophile Paenibacillus sp. A11-2 is a two-component flavin-dependent monooxygenase that catalyzes the oxygenation of dibenzothiophene (DBT) to its sulfoxide (DBTO) and sulfone (DBTO2) during...
