Functional methylthio-alkane reductases are widely distributed for bacterial organic sulfur acquisition
ABSTRACT Methylthio-alkane reductase (MAR) is a relative of nitrogenase that cleaves methylthio-alkanes for methanethiol liberation and subsequent methionine biogenesis. For example, dimethylsulfide, the most abundant volatile organic sulfur compound, is cleaved to methanethiol and methane. To date, the only verified M...
