Dimethylsulfoniopropionate is a metabolite and is the main precursor to the climatically important gas dimethylsulfide (DMS). Dimethylsulfoniopropionate, along with DMS, is a primary source of sulfur aerosol in the earth′s atmosphere and may have an influence on global temperature. Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is a zwitterionic compound. It plays a role in the sulfur cycle in marine environments and has significant implications for global climate regulation due to its involvement in the formation of cloud condensation nuclei. Dimethylsulfoniopropionate concentrations are used as a biomarker for the presence and health status of algal populations in marine studies. Its levels can indicate the biomass and activity of algae and the ecological dynamics of marine ecosystems.
