Abstract excerpt
Microbial dimethyl sulfide (DMS) conversion is thought to be involved in the global sulfur cycle. We isolated Pseudomonas putida strain DS1 from soil as a bacterium utilizing DMS as a sole sulfur source, and tried to elucidate the DMS conversion mechanism of strain DS1 at biochemical and genetic level. Strain DS1 oxidized DMS to dimethyl sulfone (DMSO(2)) via dimethyl sulfoxide, whereas the oxidation was...
