  2. Low-sulfur diet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-sulfur_diet

    Sulfur is an essential dietary mineral primarily because amino acids contain it. Sulfur is thus considered fundamentally important to human health, and conditions such as nitrogen imbalance and protein-energy malnutrition may result from deficiency. Methionine cannot be synthesized by humans, and cysteine synthesis requires a steady supply of ...

  3. Sulfur metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur_metabolism

    From the sulfide they form the amino acids cysteine and methionine, sulfolipids, and other sulfur compounds. Animals obtain sulfur from cysteine and methionine in the protein that they consume. Sulfur is the third most abundant mineral element in the body. [21] The amino acids cysteine and methionine are used by the body to make glutathione.

  4. Sulfur-reducing bacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur-reducing_bacteria

    Sulfur reduction metabolism is an ancient process, found in the deep branches of the phylogenetic tree. [15] Sulfur reduction uses elemental sulfur (S 0) and generates hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) as the main end product. This metabolism is largely present in extreme environments where, especially in recent years, many microorganisms have been ...

    Highly toxic to humans in its elemental form. [11] iridium: 77: 1a: Due to its extreme rarity, iridium has no biological role. [11] The chloride is moderately toxic to humans. [11] iron: 26: 5: Essential to almost all living things, usually as a ligand in a protein; it is most familiar as an essential element in the protein hemoglobin. [11 ...

    Sulfur is an essential component of all living cells. It is the eighth most abundant element in the human body by weight, [101] about equal in abundance to potassium, and slightly greater than sodium and chlorine. [102] A 70 kg (150 lb) human body contains about 140 grams (4.9 oz) of sulfur. [103]

  9. Sulfur dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur_dioxide

    Sulfur dioxide is a mild but useful reducing agent. It is oxidized by halogens to give the sulfuryl halides, such as sulfuryl chloride: SO 2 + Cl 2 → SO 2 Cl 2. Sulfur dioxide is the oxidising agent in the Claus process, which is conducted on a large scale in oil refineries. Here, sulfur dioxide is reduced by hydrogen sulfide to give ...
