A bacterium, strain BIS-6, that grew aerobically on dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) was isolated from an intertidal mud sample. Strain BIS-6 quantitatively demethylated DMSP and 3-methiolpropionate to 3-mercaptopropionate. Strain BIS-6 was a versatile methylotroph growing on the osmolytes DMSP and glycine betaine and their methylated degradation products (dimethyl glycine, sarcosine, methylamines, and dimethyl sulfide.
从潮间带泥样中分离出一株能在二甲基巯基丙酸内盐(DMSP)上进行好氧生长的细菌,菌株BIS-6。菌株BIS-6将DMSP和3-甲硫基丙酸定量脱甲基化为3-巯基丙酸。菌株BIS-6是一种多功能甲基营养菌,能利用渗透调节物质DMSP和甘氨酸甜菜碱及其甲基化降解产物(二甲基甘氨酸、肌氨酸、甲胺和二甲基硫醚)生长。
