Oxygenolytic sulfoquinovose degradation by an iron-dependent alkanesulfonate dioxygenase

Summary: Sulfoquinovose (6-deoxy-6-sulfo-D-glucose, SQ), the polar head group of sulfolipids in plants, is abundant in nature. Many bacteria degrade SQ through pathways termed sulfoglycolysis producing C3 or C2 sulfonates, while certain bacteria degrade SQ through direct oxygenolytic cleavage of the...
