The enzyme’s activity has been demonstrated in the bacterium Thiobacillus thioparus E6. The methanethiol formed is eventually oxidized to sulfate and carbon dioxide, and the latter assimilated for autotrophic growth.
The expected taxonomic range for this enzyme is: Thiobacillus thioparus

the bacterium is capable of growth as Calvin cycle autotroph on inorganic sulfur compounds, methylated sulfides or thiocyanate. Methanethiol, sulfide, formaldehyde and formate, but not dimethyl sulfide, may be implicated as intermediates in dimethyl disulfide metabolism

application of strain in a two-stage biotrickling filter for simultaneous treatment of hydrogen sulfide, methanethiol, dimethyl sulfide and dimethyl disulfide. The first biofilter is inoculated with Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans and the second one with Thiobacillus thioparus. For separate feeds of reduced sulfur compounds, the elimination capacity order is dimethyl disulfide > dimethyl sulfide > methanethiol
