20143161 Sakurai H, Ogawa T, Shiga M, Inoue K: Inorganic sulfur oxidizing system in green sulfur bacteria. Photosynth Res. 2010 Feb 9.

Enzymes that oxidize sulfide in green sulfur bacteria are membrane-bound sulfide-quinone oxidoreductase, periplasmic (sometimes membrane-bound) flavocytochrome c sulfide dehydrogenase, and monomeric flavocytochrome c (SoxF).

The enzymatic activities involved in sulfide oxidation by the colonic epithelial cells appear to be sulfide quinone oxidoreductase considered as the first and rate-limiting step followed presumably by the action of sulfur dioxygenase and rhodanese.

Both symbionts have genes for sulfide-quinone oxidoreductase (sqr), dissimilatory sulfite reductase (dsr), reversible dissimilatory sulfite reductase (rdsr), sulfur-oxidizing multienzyme system (sox)(soxXYZA and soxB but lacking soxCD), adenosine phosphosulfate reductase (apr), and ATP sulfurylase (sat).

Chelation controlled addition of organometallic nucleophiles to these alkynols was then affected followed by the addition of sulfur dioxide.
This methodology was used to prepare a number of oxathiolene oxides which have been screened as NQO1 (quinone oxidoreductase) inducers.
