Novel roles of dimethylated sulphur in marine microbial interactions
Sulphur is an essential element for life that cycles rapidly in the pelagic ocean in the form of biogenic dimethylated compounds. Over three decades, dimethylated sulphur has been intensively investigated for its emission to the atmosphere and its suggested roles in returning sulphur to continents and in climate regulation. While the climate connection still awaits definitive confirmation or denial, these research efforts have provided important advances in plankton physiology and ecology, since these forms of sulphur arise from organism adaptation to saline and sunlit waters and are integral to the food web machinery. Previous studies have disclosed biochemical and trophic cycling pathways…
