Description Dimethyl sulphide (DMS) was reported in
oceanic waters by Lovelock et al., (1972). Its
precursor Dimethyl sulfoniopropionate (DMSP)
is ubiquitous in the euphotic zone especially
in regions dominated by phytoplankton.
The biogeochemical importance of DMSP is
based on its bacterial (Wolfe et al., 1999) or
algal mediated (Steinke et al., 2002) enzymatic
cleavage to acrylic acid and dimethyl sulphide
(DMS).
