In addition to an assimilatory sulfite reductase, studies of cultures of Clostridium pasteurianum supplemented with methionine, cysteine, and 35SO42- provides evidence for another reductase which is induced by SO32-. This inducible reductase appears to be dissimaltory because of the copious sulfide production arising when the cells are grown on SO32-. Cysteine can repress the assimilatory sulfite reductase but does not affect the inducible reductase. During late logarithmic growth on 1 mM SO42- + 10mM cysteine, depression of the inducible reductase occurred along with increased sulfide production. The presence of 1 mM cysteine and (or) 1 mM cysteine and (or) 1 mM methionine does not affect the inverse sulfur isotope effect for evolved H2S. However, 5 and 10 mM cysteine reduce the maximum delta34S value for released H2S from +40 to 10%. A small conversion of cysteine to H2S by C. pasteurianum occurs, but only in the stationary phase.
