Biosynthesis of 3-Dimethylsulfoniopropionate in Marine Algae

Abstract

To participate in a 4-investigator collaboration (Hanson, Gage, Leustek, Rhodes) to elucidate the pathway of 3- dimethylsulfonipropionate (DMSP) in marine algae, including identification of intermediates and enzymes of the pathway in the macroalgae Enteromorpha Intestinalis, and three diverse marine phytoplankton species; Tetraselmis sp., Melosira Nummuloides and Emiliania Huxleyi. Develop quantitative models describing flux of through the pathway and its competing branches, and investigate regulation of the pathway.
