The effects of sulfur sources on the desulfurization activity of Rhodococeus erythropolis KA2-5-1 were investigated by using an exponential fed-batch culture technique. The feed rate of a sulfur source was controlled independently of the feed rate of ethanol, which was used as a carbon and energy source. Among the sulfur sources examined were dibenzothiophene (DBT), ammonium sulfate, (L)-cysteine, (L)-methionine, and 2-amino-ethanesulfonic acid. When the fed-medium contained DBT as the sole sulfur source, KA2-5-1 cells showed a maximum desulfurization activity of approximately 130 mmol 2-HBP kg-cell(-1)h(-1). Similar levels of enzyme activity were also achieved with inexpensive ammonium sulfate by using the exponential fed-batch culture technique. In addition, higher levels of desulfurization activity were achieved by increasing the dosage of the DBT desulfurization (dsz) operon and dszD gene in R. erythropolis KA2-5-1. The recombinant strain showed a maximum desulfurization activity of approximately 250 mmol 2-HBP kg-cell(-1)h(-1) in the exponential fed-batch cultures.
