Direct　application　of　high-sulfur　fuels　and　ores　can　cause　environmental　pollution　(such　as　air　pollution　and　acid　rain)　and,　in　serious　cases,　endanger　human　health　and　contribute　to　property　damage.　In　the　background　of　preserving　the　environment,　microbial　desulfurization　technologies　for　high-sulfur　fuels　and　ores　are　rapidly　developed.　This　paper　aims　to　reveal　the　progress　of　microbial　desulfurization　research　on　fuels　and　ores　using　bibliometric　analysis.　910　publications　on　microbial　desulfurization　of　fuels　and　ores　from　web　core　databases　were　collected　in　this　work,　spanning　39　years.　Through　910　retrieved　documents,　collaborative　networks　of　authors,　institutions　and　countries　were　mapped　by　this　work,　the　sources　of　highly　cited　articles　and　cited　documents　were　statistically　analyzed,　and　keyword　development　from　different　perspectives　was　discussed.　The　results　of　the　study　provide　a　reference　for　microbial　desulfurization　research　and　benefit　environmental　protection　and　energy　green　applications.
