Formation and Fate of Bacterial Sulfonates
Abstract
This research program is concerned with elucidating the routes of biosynthesis of sulfonates in bacteria, and with the fate of a variety of sulfonates of animal, microbial and plant origin(s) when these molecules are mineralized by bacteria inhabiting diverse habitats. Of special focus are the fates of sulfonates in anaerobic environments where their metabolism might be expected to give rise to sulfides or thiols, and thus affect events in corrosion. Keywords: Bacteria, Sulfonates, Sulfidigenesis, Biocorrosion.
