The distribution of dimethylsulfoniopropionate in tropical Pacific coral reef invertebrates (2006, methodology): “In alcyonarians and scleractinian corals, the dried tissues were soaked overnight twice in 50% bleach (5% sodium hypochlorite) and once in acetone to remove organic matter as described in Van Alstyne et al. (1992).”
DMSP in marine macroalgae and macroinvertebrates: Distribution, function, and ecological impacts (2007, background): “…in which DMSP, DMS, or acrylic acid were added to artificial foods, the sea urchins Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis and S. purpuratus avoided foods containing acrylic acid and DMS but preferred foods containing DMSP over control foods (Van Alstyne and Houser, 2003; Van Alstyne et al. , 2001).”
Organic osmolytes as compatible, metabolic and counteracting cytoprotectants in high osmolarity and other stresses (2005, background): “·2), widespread in marine microalgae, can be broken down into a gas, DMS (dimethylsulfide), and acrylate, which may serve to repel grazers such as copepods (Wolfe, 2000; Van Alstyne and Houser, 2003).”
Ecological functions of volatile organic compounds in aquatic systems (2007, result): “In contrast to this hypothesis, Van Alstyne and Houser ( 2003 ) found DMS to be a feeding deterrent for sea urchins.”
The long-term culture of the coccolithophore Pleurochrysis carterae (Haptophyta) in outdoor raceway ponds (2006, background): “…sulphate (DMS) are produced by a number of haptophyte algae by enzymatic cleavage by dinethylsulphoniopropionate lyase (DMSP-lyase) of the DMSP and both AA and DMS been shown to inhibit bacteria, algae, protozoans and fungi (Sieburth, 1959; Sverdrup et al., 2001; van Alstyne & Houser 2003).”
Ocean acidification effects on calcifying macroalgae (2014, background): “Increased DMSP production by macroalgae could in - fluence atmospheric DMS levels and influence grazing pressure (Van Alstyne et al. 2001, Van Alstyne & Houser 2003).”
New trends in marine chemical ecology (2006, background): “We provide selected examples of interactions between marine benthic invertebrates, especially sponges, molluscs, and cnidarians, that are mediated by specific secondary metabolites and discuss the role of these in shaping benthic communities.”
Seaweed-herbivore interactions at a small scale: direct tests of feeding deterrence by filamentous algae (2006, methodology): “Ulvaceae 2 Paul et al.: Feeding deterrence by filamentous algae have typically been used as control diets in assays of chemical defence (Paul & Hay 1986), even though some algae in this group have activated chemical defences (Van Alstyne & Houser 2003).”
