A potential photo-protective, antioxidant function for DMSO in marine phytoplankton. by Brandon J McNabb, Philippe D Tortell

“…Here we present evidence that DMSO reduction to DMS serves an antioxidant role in phytoplankton through a secondary electron-scavenging pathway that can dissipate excess light-harvested energy, and potentially mitigate the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Results from isotopic tracer experiments demonstrate significant increases in DMSO reduction rates in low-light acclimated natural phytoplankton assemblages exposed to high irradiance. …”

Abyssal deposit feeders are secondary consumers of detritus and rely on nutrition derived from microbial communities in their guts by Sonia Romero-Romero, Lee C. Miller, Jesse A. Black, Brian N. Popp, Jeffrey C. Drazen

“…Based on δ13C values of essential amino acids, we found that gut contents of deposit feeders are distinct from the surrounding surface detritus and form a unique food source, which was assimilated by the deposit feeders primarily in periods of low food supply. Overall, our results show that the guts of deposit feeders constitute hotspots of organic matter on the abyssal plain that occupy one trophic level above detritus, increasing the food-chain length in this detritus-based ecosystem.…”
