Microbial methylation of benzenethiols and release of methylthiobenzenes.

A M Drotar, R Fall.   

Abstract

Three phylogenetically diverse microorganisms methylated several different chloro- and nitro-substituted benzenethiols to yield the corresponding methylthiobenzenes. These products were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. In several cases large percentages of the methylthio products were released by intact cells into the medium, suggesting that microbial methylation of xenobiotic thiols may be a significant biotransformation in many ecosystems.
