| Popis: | A computer-assisted survey and evaluation of the international literature on microbial transformations of coal and relevant organic compounds was performed to identify candidate microorganisms and biological processes potentially applicable to coal bioprocessing. The vast majority of the literature on coal bioprocessing deals with desulphurization via pyrite removal, and some bioprocessing schemes have been proposed. Reports on organic sulphur and metals removal from coal have recently appeared. As yet unevaulated are systems for removal of other elements from coal such as oxygen and nitrogen. However, model substrates resembling certain important O and N functional groups in coal are degraded by microorganisms. These microorganisms could be potentially useful in coal bioprocessing. |
