DMSP Lyase in Marine Macro- and Microalgae Intraspecific Differences in Cleavage Activity
The enzymatic cleavage of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) to dimethylsulfide (DMS) was investigated in twenty-one strains of marine macro- and microalgae, representing seven algal classes. The enzymes involved in this cleavage are DMSP lyases, producing DMS from DMSP. All algal strains tested were...
