Metabolism of sulfur compounds in homocystinurias [PDF]
Background and PurposeHomocystinurias are rare genetic defects characterized by altered fluxes of sulfur compounds including homocysteine and cysteine. We explored whether the severely perturbed sulfur amino acid metabolism in patients with homocystinurias affects the metabolism of hydrogen sulfide.Experimental ApproachWe studied 10 treated patients ...

Sulfur Oxidation in the Acidophilic Autotrophic Acidithiobacillus spp.
Sulfur oxidation is an essential component of the earth’s sulfur cycle. Acidithiobacillus spp. can oxidize various reduced inorganic sulfur compounds (RISCs) with high efficiency to obtain electrons for their autotrophic growth.

Atmospheric H2S: Impact on Plant Functioning
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an air pollutant present at high levels in various regions. Plants actively take up H2S via the foliage, though the impact of the gas on the physiological functioning of plants is paradoxical.
