Sulfur amino acid metabolism

No cysteine auxotrophs of Mycobacterium tuberculosis are known. This suggests redundant pathways for sulfur uptake and cysteine biosynthesis. Indeed, there is full interconversion between taken up sulfate/sulfide, cysteine, and methionine via cystathionine. (Schnell and Schneider, 2010)
