Sulfur assimilation is the biological process through which organisms, particularly plants, fungi, and some bacteria, take up inorganic sulfate (SO₄²⁻) from their environment and convert it into organic sulfur compounds. This process is essential for the synthesis of amino acids, proteins, and various coenzymes that contain sulfur, such as cysteine and methionine, which are vital for various metabolic functions and structural roles in cells.
