Notes:
S-Methyl-L-cysteine sulfoxide (SMCSO) was present in several cultivars of cabbage (Brussicn oleracea) at 690–1,120 ppm. SMCSO was not inhibitory to Leuconostoc mesenreroides, but its hydrolysis product, methyl methanethiolsulfinate (MMTSO), was inhibitory. MMTSO was formed in fresh cabbage juice (CJ) and in a model system containing SMCSO and fresh cabbage (pH 4.0) precipitate, perhaps by cysteine sulfoxide lyase. Growth inhibition by 1 mM MMTSO was reversed by 5 mM dithiothreitol, cysteine, or reduced glutathione, but not by oxidized glutathione or thiamine.
