Application

Application Comment Organism
environmental protection H2S is a major environmental pollutant, highly toxic to living organisms at high concentrations. Even at low concentrations, it causes an unpleasant odor from wetlands, especially from wastewater. Plants can utilize hydrogen sulfide as a sulfur source to synthesize cysteine. It is thus feasible to use aquatic plants, which possess high potential for sulfur assimilation, to remove hydrogen sulfide from the wetland. Transgenic rice plants over-expressing cysteine synthase exhibit 3fold elevated cysteine synthase activity, and incorporate more H2S into cysteine and glutathione than their wild type counterparts upon exposure to a high level of H2S. Overexpression of cysteine synthase in aquatic plants is a viable approach to remove H2S from polluted environments Oryza sativa
