Metabolism of methanesulfonic acid involves a multicomponent monooxygenase enzyme.

Microbiology (Reading, England) - 1 Feb 1996

Higgins Timothy P, Davey Margaret, Trickett Jim, Kelly Don P, Murrell J Colin

Abstract excerpt

A novel methylotroph, strain M2, capable of utilizing methanesulfonic acid (MSA) as a sole source of carbon and energy was the subject of these investigations. The initial step in the biodegradative pathway of MSA in strain M2 involved an inducible NADH-specific monooxygenase enzyme (MSAMO). Partial purification of MSAMO from cell-free extracts by ion-exchange chromatography led to the loss of MSAMO activity....
