Enzymatic versus spontaneous S-methyl thioester synthesis in Geotrichum candidum.

FEMS Microbiol. Lett. 193(2) , 237-41, (2000)

The synthesis of short chain S-methyl thioesters was investigated in Geotrichum candidum strain GcG. The results indicated the involvement of an enzymatic reaction in this microorganism that led to the synthesis of S-methyl thioacetate (MTA) when methanethiol...

Methyl thiolbutyrate: a reliable correlate of estrus in the golden hamster.

Physiol. Behav. 30(1) , 139-43, (1983)

A volatile sulfur-containing compound that is characteristic of estrous (Day 1) hamster vaginal discharge has been identified as methyl thiolbutyrate (MTB). From numerous measurements of MTB concentration on each day of the estrous cycle, it is clear that thi...
