DescriptionTetrathionate is a member of the chemical class of thiosulfates, characterized by its unique sulfur oxidation state. Its chemical structure consists of four sulfur atoms, typically represented as S4O6^2-, indicating a chain of sulfur atoms with varying oxidation states. In biochemical pathways, tetrathionate plays a significant role as an electron acceptor in anaerobic respiration, particularly utilized by certain bacteria such as Salmonella, which can reduce tetrathionate to thiosulfate (PMID:40346343 ). Additionally, it is involved in energy metabolism, where its oxidation can enhance the formation of elemental sulfur, especially in the presence of specific oxidizing reactions (PMID:40517928 ). Tetrathionate's presence in selective culturing methods aids in the detection of pathogens such as Salmonella, highlighting its utility in diagnostic applications (PMID:40618012 ). Furthermore, it is implicated in various metabolic processes, including the suppression of denitrification and enhancement of acetoclastic methanogenesis, demonstrating its multifaceted role in microbial ecology (PMID:40450938 ). Overall, tetrathionate serves as a crucial metabolite in both environmental and clinical microbiology contexts.
