background: magnetite (fe3o4) nanoparticles are currently one of the important and acceptable magnetic nanoparticles for biomedical applications. to use magnetite nanoparticles for bacteria cell separation, the surface of nanoparticles would be modified for immobilizing of nanoparticles on the surface of bacteria. functionalization of magnetite nanoparticles is performed by different surfactant...

This research aimed to optimize the experimental conditions of biodesulfurization sulfide ore and evaluate flame-retardant effect after desulfurization under optimal conditions. Six factors were determined: particle size sample, ambient temperature, rotary speed shaking table, volume bacteria liquid, concentration leaching aid (Tween80), pH value acidizing sample. Desulfurization efficiency was...

MCM-41 mesoporous silica is synthesized based on a self assembly method, using a quaternary ammonium template, CTAB for the adsorption of sulfur compounds from model oil (1.0 mmol/l DBT in dodecane solution). Then the adsorption capability of MCM-41 assembled on the surface of bacterium Rhodococcus erythropolis IGTS8 is examined regarding the improvement of the biodesulfurization process of...

rhodococcus fmf is a gram-positive bacterium isolated for the first time from soil samples of tabriz refinery in iran. this microorganism is able to catabolize dibenzothiophene to 2-hydroxybiphenyl and inorganic sulfur without the destruction of carbon-carbon bonds. three structural genes, dsza, dszb, and dszc have been characterized and shown to be responsible for this phenotype. in this work,...
