Jerusalem artichoke as low‐cost fructose‐rich feedstock for fossil fuels desulphurization by a fructophilic bacterium

ConclusionsThese results highlight the efficacy of the treatment applied to JAJ in making this agromaterial a promising low‐cost renewable feedstock for improved BDS by the fructophilic strain 1B. Significance and Impact of the StudyThis study is a fundamental step viewing BDS application at the industrial level as it accounts a cost‐effective production of the biocatalysts, one of the main drawbacks for BDS scale‐up.
