Abstract
Dimethyl sulfide (DMS), produced by biological activity in seawater, is the principal gaseous form of sulfur released to the atmosphere by the ocean and plays an important part in the biogeochemical sulfur cycle. The production of DMS in seawater tanks has been quantified during phytoplankton bloom simulations for the growth and senescence phases of biomass. This gas production during the senescence phase is 7–26 times higher than during the growth phase. Thus, DMS production by the senescence process could be one of the major mechanisms for the generation of DMS in seawater.
