Distribution of Dimethylsulfoniopropionate Degradation Genes Reflects Strong Water Current Dependencies in the Sanriku Coastal Region in Japan: From Mesocosm to Field Study
Dimethyl sulfide (DMS) is an important component of the global sulfur cycle as it is the most abundant sulfur compound that is emitted via the ocean surface to the atmosphere.Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP), the precursor of DMS, is mainly produced by phytoplankton and is degraded by marine bacteria.To reveal the role of bacteria in the regulatio
