Molecular characterisation of structural and regulatory genes involved in DMSP catabolism in Rhodobacter sphaeroides and other bacteria

The widely studied bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1 can cleave the abundant anti- stress molecule dimethylsulfoniopropionate into acrylate plus the environmentally important volatile dimethyl sulfide. It uses a DMSP-Iyase, encoded by dddL, the promoter-distal gene of a three-gene operon, acuR...
