Biodesulphurisation was investigated by using Enterobacter sp. D4, which can selectively desulphurise and convert dibenzothiophene into 2-hydroxybiphenyl (2-HBP). The experimental values of growth, substrate consumption and product generation were obtained at 95?% confidence level of the fitted values using three models: Hinshelwood equation, Luedeking–Piret and Luedeking–Piret-like equations. The average error values between experimental values and fitted values were less than 10?%. These kinetic models describe all the experimental data with good statistical parameters. The production of 2-HBP in Enterobacter sp. was by “coupled growth-
