A Bacterial Pathway for Homotaurine Catabolism via Sulfopropanoate.
Small aminoorganosulfonates are reservoirs of carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur in marine and host-associated ecosystems. Homotaurine, a C3-aminoorganosulfonate produced by marine algae and present in algal-derived foods, is comparatively well documented, but its complete microbial catabolism has remained unresolved. Here w...
