Abstract

Methanethiol (MT) is an organic sulfur compound with a strong and disagreeable odor. It has biogeochemical relevance as an important compound in the global sulfur cycle, where it is produced as a reactive intermediate in a number of different pathways of production and degradation of other globally significant sulfur compounds such as dimethylsulfoniopropionate, dimethylsulfide and methionine. With its low odor threshold and unpleasant smell, methanethiol can be a significant cause of malodor that from animal husbandry, composting, landfill operations, and waste water treatment and is also associated with faeces, flatus and oral malodor (halitosis). A diverse range of microorganisms drives the production and degradation of methanethiol, including its aerobic and anaerobic metabolism. MT producing and degrading organisms are known to be present in terrestrial, freshwater and marine environments but may also be important in association with plant and animal (and human) hosts. This chapter considers the role of methanethiol as an intermediate of the global sulfur cycle and discusses current knowledge of microbial pathways of methanethiol production and degradation.
