L-Cysteine Synthase Enhanced Sulfide Biotransformation in Subtropical Marine Mangrove Sediments as Revealed by Metagenomics Analysis

High sulfides concentrations can be poisonous to environment because of anthropogenic waste production or natural occurrences. How to elucidate the biological transformation mechanisms of sulfide pollutants in the subtropical marine mangrove ecosystem has gained increased interest. Thus, in the pres...
