The present invention is a process for transforming aromatic organic compounds and resource materials. The process includes the steps of contacting an organic material selected from the group consisting of single and/or multi-ring aromatic compounds and alkylaromatic compounds, and their heteroatom-containing analogues, crude oil, petroleum, petrochemical streams, coals, shales, coal liquids, shale oils, heavy oils and bitumens with a microorganism or enzymes in order to hydroxylate the organic material, followed by contacting the hydroxylated organic resource material so as to cause hydrogenation and/or hydrogenolysis on the material.

A invenção atual é um processo para transformar compostos e materiais orgânicos aromatic do recurso. O processo inclui as etapas de contatar um material orgânico selecionado de consistir do grupo compostos aromatic únicos e/ou do multi-anel e compostos alkylaromatic, e seus analogues heteroatom-contendo, óleo cru, petróleo, córregos petrochemical, carvões, xistos, líquidos de carvão, óleos do xisto, óleos pesados e betumes com um microorganism ou os enzymes a fim hydroxylate o material orgânico, seguido contatando o material orgânico hydroxylated do recurso para causar o hydrogenation e/ou o hydrogenolysis no material.
