Zusammenfassung

Seit Liebig weiß man, daß die Pflanze neben einer Reihe anderer Stoffe dem Boden Schwefel entnimmt, und Sachs und Liebig konnten experimentell einwandfrei nachweisen, daß dieses Element unentbehrlich ist. Es gehört zu jener Gruppe von Mineralstoffen, die, wie Stickstoff, Phosphor, Kalium, Calcium, Magnesium und Eisen, im Gegensatz zu den „Spurenelementen“ in relativ großer Menge für die normale Entwicklung gebraucht werden. Über seine Funktion im Stoffwechsel, auf welche die Unentbehrlichkeit hinweist, war zu Pfeffers Zeiten noch nichts bekannt. „Der Schwefel gehört zur Constitution der meisten Proteinstoffe, die durchschnittlich nur 0,2–2,4 Proc., also weniger als P enthalten. Zwar kommt außerdem der Schwefel im Senföl und gewissen anderen Verbindungen vor, indes läßt sich aus diesen Erfahrungen nicht entnehmen, ob er noch anderweitige generelle Bedeutung im Stoffwechsel hat“ (Pflanzenphysiologie 1897, S. 423). „Da in den höheren Pflanzen der Schwefel meist in Form des Sulfations zur Aufnahme gelangt und in den Proteinstoffen nur SH-Gruppen vorkommen, so muß allgemein auch hier eine Sulfatreduktion stattfinden. Über diese Prozesse, die sich natürlich auch in den nicht chlorophyll-haltigen Pflanzen abspielen müssen, ist noch nicht das mindeste bekannt.“ Mit diesen Worten äußert sich Czapek 1925 (Biochemie der Pflanzen, Band III, S. 171) über den wichtigsten Teil des Schwefelstoffwechsels der höheren Pflanze.
