Methyl mercaptan (MM)-oxidase was purified to near homogeneity from Thiobacillus thioparus TK-m grown on dimethyl sulphide. The enzyme was a monomer with an M(r) value of approximately 40000. It oxidized MM stoichiometrically to formaldehyde, S2- and H2O2. The enzyme had a K(m) of 31.3-mu-M for MM. It was also shown to oxidize ethyl mercaptan. MM-oxidase from T. thioparus was shown to have some different characteristics from MM-oxidase of Hyphomicrobium EG, such as a higher K(m), the absence of inhibition by S2- and the inability to catalyse the oxidation of S2-.
