Abstract excerpt
Strains of Escherichia coli lacking serine transacetylase or a positive regulator (Cys B protein) of the assimilatory sulfate reduction (ASR) pathway were unable to assimilate sulfonate-S, while single mutants in O-acetyl-L-serine sulfhydrylase (either 'A' or 'B') were able to do so. Mutants unable to reduce sulfate to sulfite were nonetheless able to form and accumulate sulfide and then cysteine from sulfonates,...
