Sulfur metabolism in cyanobacteria
Original language description
Sulphur is an essential nutrient for all living organisms. Cyanobacteria can take up inorganic sulfate and assimilate it into organic compounds, thus plays an important role in global biological sulfur cycle. Sulfur compounds in cyanobacteria play important roles in metabolism, growth, and protection against oxidative stress, however, they are also important in cyanobacterial secondary metabolism. The biosynthetic pathways for sulfur compounds in cyanobacteria include enzymatic systems similar to those from bacteria, green algae, and plants, showing a rich variety of alternative mechanisms in a single phylum. This might be connected with the great variation in sulfur availability to different cyanobacterial strains, as some are adapted to highly concentrated sulfate in seawater, while others to a scarce sulfate in freshwater environments. In this chapter, we outline the metabolic pathways of sulfur metabolism, describe the functions of the main sulfur-containing compounds, and formulate the most urgent open questions about sulfur metabolism in cyanobacteria.
