General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function pathway of dimethyl sulfoxide metabolism involves an initial reduction to dimethyl sulfide, which is subsequently oxidized by the NADH-dependent mono-oxygenase to formaldehyde and methanethiol. Further oxidation of methanethiol is by a hydrogen peroxide-producing oxidase, again resulting in the production of formaldehyde Hyphomicrobium sp.
