Application

Sodium tetrathionate dihydrate may be used to compose the 0.2M Tris buffer in a study.

General description

Sodium tetrathionate dihydrate is the dihydrate of sodium tetrathionate. It has been synthesized from sodium thiosulfate by iodine oxidation. Its crystals exhibit monoclinic crystal system and space group C23-C2.

Other Notes

Thiosulfating agent; it reacts with thiols, e.g. cysteine to S-sulfo-thiols, used in the quantitative determination of total cysteine/cystine in proteins; Reversible inactivation of enzymes

Conventional wisdom holds that microbes support their growth in vertebrate hosts by exploiting a large variety of nutrients. We show here that use of a specific nutrient (ethanolamine) confers a marked growth advantage on Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium)
