Dimethylsulfonioproprionate is a metabolite produced primarily by marine phytoplankton and is the main precursor to the climatically important gas dimethylsulfide (DMS). Dimethylsulfonioproprionate along with DMS is a primary source of sulfur aerosol in the earth’s atmosphere and may have an influence on global temperature. | [Definition]
ChEBI: A sulfonium betaine obtained by deprotonation of the carboxy group of 3-dimethylsulfoniopropionic acid. |
