Increased DMSP availability during thermal stress influences DMSP-degrading bacteria in coral mucus

Increased DMSP availability during thermal stress influences DMSP-degrading bacteria in coral mucus

Reef-building corals are among the largest producers of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP), an essential compound in marine biogeochemical cycles. DMSP can be catabolised in coral mucus by a wide diversity of coral-associated bacteria, where it can either be demethylated, leading to the incorporation...
