Volatile Sulfur

Pseudomonas fluorescens, Proteus vulgaris, and Serratia marcescens, members of the microflora of soil and waste water, attacked methionine in the presence of glucose. The sulfur of methionine was released as methane thiol, dimethyl sulfide and dim ethyl disulfide. The volatile sulfur com pounds were qualitatively and quantitatively investigated by gas chromatography. Dimethyl disulfide was formed of methane thiol by various bacteria to a different extent. Growing in the presence of oxygen, S. marcescens oxidized most of the m ethane thiol to dim ethyl disulfide. In the presence of glucose. P. fluorescens dissimilated m ethionine with production of m ethane thiol and dimethyl disulfide. The dissimilation was stimulated with decreasing glucose concentration

Summary. Liver and liver–sodium sulfide mixtures, sheep faeces, urine and gut mucus are known attractants for the sheep blowfly Lucilia cuprina (Weid.). These substances were analysed for volatile compounds using gas chromatography coupled with mass spectroscopy. The most commonly detected compounds were tested in a bioassay for their potential as attractants for gravid female L. cuprina. Flies orientated towards pulses of dimethyl sulfide at a concentration of 1 µg/g but not 0.1 or 10 µg/g. Ethane thiol elicited a response at a concentration of 10 µg/g but not at 1 µg/g. Dimethyl disulfide did not elicit orientation at 10 µg/g.

Photometric Detection

The volatile compounds of three different fresh-picked truffle varieties (Tuber sinensis, T1, Tuber sinoalbidum, T2 and Tuber sinoexcavatum, T3) were extracted by headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME). Separation and identification of volatile components and sulfur compounds were investigated by gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and gas chromatography with flame photometric detection (GC-FPD). The results showed that 44, 43 and 44 volatile compounds were detected in T1, T2 and T3 samples, respectively. In addition, 9, 10 and 9 sulfur compounds were identified in three samples by GC-FPD, respectively. Combining physicochemical and sensory properties, T1 presented fatty, green and rotten cabbage odor; T2 exhibited mushroom, sulfuric and musty odor notes; T3 had nutty, floral and roasted potato odor. Dimethyl sulfide, 3-methylbutanal, dimethyl disulfide, 3-octanone, bis(methylthio) methane, octanal, 1-octen-3-one, 1-octen-3-ol and benzeneacetaldehyde played indispensable roles in the overall aroma of three truffles. Finally, based on quantitative concentration in T1, odorous compounds (OAV) > 1 were mixed to recombine aroma, demonstrating that these key aroma compounds based on OAV can successfully recombine pretty similar aroma of each variety.

Volatile Sulfur

Volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) are a major component of odorous emissions that can cause annoyance to local populations surrounding wastewater, waste management and agricultural practices. Odour collection and storage using sample bags can result in VSC losses due to sorption and leakage. Stability within 72 hour storage of VSC samples in three sampling bag materials (Tedlar, Mylar, Nalophan) was studied at three temperatures: 5, 20, and 30 °C. The VSC samples consisted of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), methanethiol (MeSH), ethanethiol (EtSH), dimethyl sulfide (DMS), tert-butanethiol (t-BuSH), ethylmethyl sulfide (EMS), 1-butanethiol (1-BuSH), dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), diethyl disulfide (DEDS), and dimethyl trisulfide (DMTS). The results for H2S showed that higher loss trend was clearly observed (46–50% at 24 hours) at 30 °C compared to the loss at 5 °C or 20 °C (of up to 27% at 24 hours) in all three bag materials. The same phenomenon was obtained for other thiols with the relative recoveries after a 24 hour period of 76–78% at 30 °C and 80–93% at 5 and 20 °C for MeSH; 77–80% at 30 °C and 79–95% at 5 and 20 °C for EtSH; 87–89% at 30 °C and 82–98% at 5 and 20 °C for t-BuSH; 61–73% at 30 °C and 76–98% at 5 and 20 °C for 1-BuSH. Results for other sulfides and disulfides (DMS, EMS, DMDS, DEDS) indicated stable relative recoveries with little dependency on temperature (83–103% after 24 hours). DMTS had clear loss trends (with relative recoveries of 74–87% in the three bag types after 24 hours) but showed minor differences in relative recoveries at 5, 20, and 30 °C.

Library Spectrum

Odour compounds in extracts of bleached kraft pulp mill effluent (BKME) have been characterized by olfactory gas chromatography (OGC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. A variety of sulfury odours was detected by OGC in addition to woody and pulp mill-like odours. Three sulfur compounds were identified by comparison of retention times and partial mass spectra with authentic standards: dimethyl disulfide, 3-methylthiophene and thioanisole (methyl phenyl sulfide). Typical concentrations in BKME were 1, 0.05, and 0.5 μg/l, respectively. Their odour intensity is relatively low and they were not detected by OGC. Dimethyl trisulfide was tentatively identified by comparison of its partial mass spectrum with a literature (library) spectrum. Its concentration in BKME was estimated at 0.5-2 μg/l. It corresponded to a skunky odour in the OGC profiles. Efforts to identify another odour peak, eluting just after 3-methylthiophene, with a pronounced alkyl sulfide odour were unsuccessful.

Volatile Sulfur

Schizophyllum commune is a causative agent of allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis, allergic fungal rhinosinusitis, and basidiomycosis. Diagnosis of these diseases remains difficult because no commercially available tool exists to identify the pathogen. Unique volatile organic compounds produced by a pathogen might be useful for non-invasive diagnosis. Here, we explored microbial volatile organic compounds produced by S. commune. Volatile sulfur compounds, dimethyl disulfide (48 of 49 strains) and methyl ethyl disulfide (49 of 49 strains), diethyl disulfide (34 of 49 strains), dimethyl trisulfide (40 of 49 strains), and dimethyl tetrasulfide (32 of 49 strains) were detected from headspace air in S. commune cultured vials. Every S. commune strain produced at least one volatile sulfur compound analyzed in this study. Those volatile sulfur compounds were not detected from the cultures of Aspergillus spp. (A. fumigatus, A. flavus, A. niger, and A. terreus), which are other major causative agents of allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis. The last, we examined H2S detection using lead acetate paper. Headspace air from S. commune rapidly turned the lead acetate paper black. These results suggest that those volatile sulfur compounds are potent targets for the diagnosis of S. commune and infectious diseases.

Abstract. The concentration of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) in the marine boundary layer (MBL) was estimated from dimethyl sulfide (DMS) flux, sea salt (SS) emission, and aerosols entrained from the free troposphere (FT). Only under clean air conditions, did the nucleation of DMS derived sulfur (DMS CCN) contribute significantly to the MBL CCN. The accommodation coefficient for sulfuric acid mass transfer was found to be a very important parameter in the modeling the contribution of DMS to MBL CCN. The relationship between seawater DMS and MBL CCN was found to be non-linear mainly due to the transfer processes of sulfuric acid onto aerosols. In addition, sea salt derived CCN (SS CCN) and entrained aerosol from the FT (FT CCN) affected the MBL CCN directly, by supplying CCN, and indirectly, by behaving as an efficient sink for sulfuric acid. The SS CCN explained more than 50% of the total predicted MBL CCN when wind speeds were moderate and high. Sea salt and FT aerosol may often be more efficient sources of MBL CCN than DMS.

The Relationship

We investigated the relationship between perfusate concentration of glucose and its utilization and lactate production derived from exogenous glucose and from metabolism of endogenous substrates. Isolated rat lungs were ventilated with 5% CO2 in air and perfused for 100 min with Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate buffer containing 3% bovine serum albumin, 10(-2) U/ml insulin, [U-14C]glucose and [5-3H]glucose. Glucose utilization, total lactate production, [14C]lactate production, and 3H2O production were measured. The apparent Km and Vmax for glucose utilization were 3.4 mM and 72.5 mumol/g dry wt per h, respectively. Lactate production from endogenous substrates, calculated as the difference between total and [14C]lactate, was 37.6 +/- 2.2 mumol/g dry wt (n = 36); it was unaffected by perfusate glucose concentration and by omission of insulin, but increased threefold with anoxia. Lactate production from 1.5 mM glucose was significantly less (P less than 0.02) with insulin omitted. Glycogen content was unchanged during perfusion without glucose. These results suggest that: 1) protein catabolism contributes to lung lactate production; 2) glucose utilization by lung is not maximal at resting physiological glucose concentrations; and 3) insulin is required at low glucose concentrations for maximal glycolytic rates.
