Physiological Studies of Chlorobiaceae Suggest that Bacillithiol Derivatives Are the Most Widespread Thiols in Bacteria

Low-molecular-weight thiols are key metabolites that participate in many basic cellular processes: central metabolism, detoxification, and oxidative stress resistance. Here we describe a new thiol, N-methyl-bacillithiol, found in an anaerobic phototrophic bacterium and identify a gene that is respon...
