Methyl mercaptan production by periodontal bacteria.

International dental journal - 1 Jun 2002

Nakano Y, Yoshimura M, Koga T

Abstract excerpt

Oral malodour is principally caused by volatile sulphur compounds (VSC) such as hydrogen sulphide, methyl mercaptan and dimethyl sulphide. Methyl mercaptan is highly toxic, and its presence within a periodontal pocket suggests involvement in the induction and/or progression of periodontal disease. Methyl mercaptan is produced from L-methionine by L-methionine- alpha -deamino- gamma -mercaptomethane-lyase...
