Dimethylsulfide (DMS) is a sulfur-containing compound produced primarily by marine phytoplankton, particularly during the decomposition of organic matter. It plays a crucial role in the global sulfur cycle and is released into the atmosphere, where it can influence cloud formation and climate. In addition to natural sources, DMS can also be produced through industrial processes, such as the breakdown of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP), a compound found in various marine organisms. Understanding DMS production is important for studying its environmental impact and potential applications in fields like climate science and agriculture.
