Oxidative Stress Regulates a Pivotal Metabolic Switch in Dimethylsulfoniopropionate Degradation by the Marine Bacterium Ruegeria pomeroyi

ABSTRACT Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is an abundant organic compound in marine surface water and source of dimethyl sulfide (DMS), the largest natural sulfur source to the upper atmosphere. Marine bacteria either mineralize DMSP through the demethylation pathway or transform it to DMS through...
