	Abstract

The gene cassette encoding enzymes responsible for degrading carbazole to anthranilic acid was introduced into a dibenzothiophene-degrader. The resultant strain Rhodococcus erythropolis XPDN could simultaneously transform the model pollutants of dibenzothiophene, carbazole and dibenzofuran to nontoxic metabolites and may have an application potential to bioremediation.
