Identification of a membrane transporter for dimethylsulfoniopropionate uptake in marine eukaryotic phytoplankton

Marine microalgae obtain essential sulfur through energetically costly, assimilatory reduction of sea-salt sulfate, so the ability for osmotrophic incorporation of reduced sulfur would confer them adaptability in energy-limiting conditions. Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is a...
