Abstract

A new Basidiomycete showed significantly higher degradation rates, 10,000 times for H₂S,40 times for dimethyl sulfide(DMS),15 times for methanethiol(MT) and 4 times for dimethyl disulfide(DMDS) than any reported previously. The optimal pH for degradation activity was around 7. Degradation rate for each gas when mixed gases of H₂S,MT and DMS were supplied was almost the same as that for single gas supply. H₂S was oxidized to SO₄ via SO₃ and DMS was stoichiometrically converted to dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO).
