Dimethylsulfide (DMS) is an important climatically active gas. In the sea, DMS is produced primarily by microbial metabolism of the compatible solute dimethylsulfoniopropionate. Laboratory growth of Bacteroidetes with DMS resulted in its oxidation to dimethyl sulfoxide but only in the presence of glucose. We hypothesized that electrons liberated from sulfur oxidation were used to augment biomass production.
二甲基硫（DMS）是一种重要的气候活性气体。在海洋中，DMS 主要由相容溶质二甲硫代丙酸酯的微生物代谢产生。用 DMS 培养拟杆菌，结果导致其氧化为二甲亚砜，但只有在存在葡萄糖的情况下才会发生这种情况。我们假设从硫氧化中释放的电子被用来增加生物量的产生。
