Abstract | It is hard to find a research paper or book on coccolithophores that does not include a few sentences on the role of this fascinating and enigmatic marine phytoplankton group in the production of dimethyl sulfide ((CH3)2S; DMS). Our aim here is to provide some general background information on DMS for non-specialists, but also to highlight current knowledge and what we believe to be significant gaps, for those with a specific interest in coccolithophores, other haptophytes and DMS. |
