Talk:Sulfur assimilation

Sulfur assimilation in yeast has some major differences. Should this article be separate or can we just add on? 140.180.48.61 (talk) 19:39, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Awkward syntax: Sulfur uptake by plants

According to their cellular and subcellular gene expression, and possible functioning the sulfate transporters gene family has been classified in up to 5 different groups

This sentence reads awkwardly and should be revised. Pikalax 14:42, 30 July 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pikalax (talk • contribs)

Plant Centric

This article is plant-centric but it should also include microorganisms like bacteria who perform sulfur reduction (assimilatoric and dissimilatoric pathways).

For instance, some bacteria have sulfur-bodies. Also see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur_metabolism

My suggestion is to start to rewrite in style, and move the plant reference AFTER a general disclaimer about which organisms can assimilate sulfur. 2A02:8388:1601:E000:BE5F:F4FF:FECD:7CB2 (talk) 23:05, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

Not very good article. The lede needs general refs. MDPI and possibly other junk journals should not be cited. Writing is not good. Article seems to have no theme, but instead is a collection of factoids.--Smokefoot (talk) 15:46, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

"Sulfur assimilation is the process by which living organisms incorporate sulfur into their biological molecules ("molecules" = childish terminology that should be avoided).[1] (narrow ref). All forms of life require sulfur, which is found in amino acids and many cofactors. Thus, organisms must import sulfur from their environment. Bioavailable forms of sulfur are inorganic, which can have a range of oxidation states, .... Plants utilize sulfate as their sulfur source. Animals obtain sulfur from sulfur-containing food (guessing). Bacteria and archaea incorporate sulfur from a wide variety of sources, including reduced forms. Once imported the various sulfur sources are processed to allow the biosynthesis of a wide variety of organosulfur. These biosynthetic pathways sometimes differ for plants vs animals, as well as for various ... All sulfur is converted into organosulfur compounds containing one or more carbon-sulfur bonds. Some particularly abundant organosulfur compounds in nature are .... find a listing... There are two stages in sulfur assimilation, one being transport of inorganic sulfur compounds into the cell and the second phase being the the metabolism of the imported ions. "
