Trithionate hydrolase is a sulfur-chemolithotrophic enzyme that hydrolyses trithionate into thiosulfate, sulfate and 2 H+. By breaking the S-S bond of the polythionate intermediate it supports bacterial oxidation of reduced sulfur compounds such as thiosulfate in sulfur-oxidising bacteria. It appears in viruses and cellular organisms.
