Many bacteria can produce hydrogen sulfide, which can be used as defense system against antibiotics and oxidative stress. This pathway is one of the hydrogen sulfide biosynthesis pathways (totally two). L-Cysteine is transported by L-cysteine ABC transporter and convert to 3-mercaptopyruvic acid by facilitation of aspartate aminotransferase. 3-Mercaptopyruvic acid is later catalyzed to form pyruvic acid and hydrogen sulfide by 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase.
