Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'This proposal aims at using environmental functional genomic tools to expand knowledge of bacterial roles in organic sulfur cycling in ocean surface waters, focusing particularly on biological controls of volatile sulfur exchange across the ocean/atmosphere boundary and links between microbial community structure and cycling of relevant organic sulfur compounds. A better understanding of the fate of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP), the precursor of the climatic active gas dimethylsulfide (DMS) in marine environments will not only provide insights into climate regulation and ocean-atmosphere interactions but also microbial food web dynamics and C and S biogeochemistry.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
The 'Genomic approach to study the role of bacterioplankton in the sulfur cycle' (GENS) project investigated how marine microorganisms metabolise the greenhouse gas dimethylsuflide (DMS) and its precursor dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP). Genetic material recovered from environmental samples can help revolutionise our understanding of microbial energy sources.
