Abstract excerpt
Many bacteria living in soil have developed the ability to use a wide variety of organosulfur compounds. Pseudomonas putida strain DS1 is able to utilize dimethyl sulfide as a sulfur source via a series of oxidation reactions that sequentially produce dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethyl sulfone (DMSO2), methanesulfonate, and sulfite. To isolate novel genes involved in DMSO2 utilization, a transposon-based mutagenesis of...
