Hydrogen Sulfide From Cysteine Desulfurase, Not 3-Mercaptopyruvate Sulfurtransferase, Contributes to Sustaining Cell Growth and Bioenergetics in E. coli Under Anaerobic Conditions

Hydrogen Sulfide From Cysteine Desulfurase, Not 3-Mercaptopyruvate Sulfurtransferase, Contributes to Sustaining Cell Growth and Bioenergetics in E. coli Under Anaerobic Conditions

Endogenous hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which is primarily generated by 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (3-MST) in Escherichia coli (E. coli) under aerobic conditions, renders bacteria highly resistant to oxidative stress. However, the biosynthetic pathway and physiological role of this gas under an...
