OCEANS: New Pieces for the Marine Sulfur Cycle Jigsaw
Gill Malin
It was thought that phytoplankton make DMSP, a key compound in the marine sulfur cycle, whereas bacteria use it. Now, one study shows that diatoms can also take up DMSP; another study identifies a key bacterial gene involved in its demethylation.
