| Abstract: | BackgroundMethylthioadenosine, the main by-product of spermidine synthesis, is degraded inBacillus subtilisas adenine and methylthioribose. The latter is an excellent sulfur source and the precursor of quorum-sensing signalling molecules. Nothing was known about methylthioribose recycling in this organism. |
