ABSTRACT
Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is a ubiquitous organosulfur compound with key ecological roles in marine environments. This paper offers a brief insight into the mechanisms, environmental diversity, and importance of DMSP-mediated marine microbial interactions, including algae-microzooplankton interactions, bacteria-microzooplankton interactions, and algae-bacteria interactions. We also highlight current challenges that warrant further investigation.
