Biodegradation - PAH degradation and DBT desulfurization

  • State of the art

Previous scaffold system has been used to accelerate biosynthetic pathway. However, no one before has applied ‘’Scaffold’’ to facilitate biodegradation. Actually biodegradation is indispensible in environment restoration, so we are trying to recruit ‘’Membrane Accelerator’’ to accelerate the biodegradation of pollutants.

  • Aims

To testify the feasibility of ‘’’Membrane Accelerator’’ in Biodegradation Pathway To accelerate degradation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon(PAH) To accelerate degradation of Dibenzothiophene (DBT) desulfurization


  • Achievements

A novel concept is proposed, which is to apply scaffold system to facilitate biodegradation pathway.


Biodegradation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon(PAH)

Biodesulfurization of Dibenzothiophene (DBT)
