Abstract
Marine ecosystems are influenced by phytoplankton aggregation, which affects processes like marine snow formation and harmful events such as marine mucilage outbreaks. Phytoplankton secrete exopolymers, creating an extracellular matrix (ECM) that promotes particle aggregation. This ECM attracts heterotrophic bacteria, providing a nutrient-rich and protective environment. In terrestrial environments, bacterial colonization near primary producers relies on attachment and the formation of multidimensional structures like biofilms. Bacteria were observed attaching and aggregating within algal-derived exopolymers, but it is unclear if bacteria produce an ECM that contributes to this colonization. This study, using Emiliania huxleyi algae and Phaeobacter inhibens bacteria in an environmentally relevant model system, reveals a shared algal-bacterial ECM scaffold that promotes algal-bacterial aggregation. Algal exudates play a pivotal role in promoting bacterial colonization, stimulating bacterial exopolysaccharide (EPS) production, and facilitating a joint ECM formation. A bacterial biosynthetic pathway responsible for producing a specific EPS contributing to bacterial ECM formation is identified. Genes from this pathway show increased expression in algal-rich environments. These findings highlight the underestimated role of bacteria in aggregate-mediated processes in marine environments, offering insights into algal-bacterial interactions and ECM formation, with implications for understanding and managing natural and perturbed aggregation events.

Abstract
Aquaculture provides a rich resource of high-quality protein; however, the production is challenged by emerging pathogens such as Vibrio crassostreae. While probiotic bacteria have been proposed as a sustainable solution to reduce pathogen load in aquaculture, their application requires a comprehensive assessment across the aquaculture food chain. The purpose of this study was to determine the antagonistic effect of the potential probiotic bacterium Phaeobacter piscinae against the emerging fish pathogen V. crassostreae in aquaculture feed algae that can be an entry point for pathogens in fish and shellfish aquaculture. P. piscinae strain S26 produces the antibacterial compound tropodithietic acid (TDA). In a plate-based assay, P. piscinae S26 was equally to more effective than the well-studied Phaeobacter inhibens DSM17395 in its inhibition of the fish pathogens Vibrio anguillarum 90-11-286 and V. crassostreae DMC-1. When co-cultured with the microalgae Tetraselmis suecica and Isochrysis galbana, P. piscinae S26 reduced the maximum cell density of V. crassostreae DMC-1 by 2 log and 3-4 log fold, respectively. A TDA-deficient mutant of P. piscinae S26 inhibited V. crassostreae DMC-1 to a lesser extent than the wild type, suggesting that the antagonistic effect involves TDA and other factors. TDA is the prime antagonistic agent of the inhibition of V. anguillarum 90-11-286. Comparative genomics of V. anguillarum 90-11-286 and V. crassostreae DMC-1 revealed that V. crassostreae DMC-1 carries a greater arsenal of antibiotic resistance genes potentially contributing to the reduced effect of TDA. In conclusion, P. piscinae S26 is a promising new candidate for inhibition of emerging pathogens such as V. crassostreae DMC-1 in algal feed systems and could contribute to a more sustainable aquaculture industry.IMPORTANCEThe globally important production of fish and shellfish in aquaculture is challenged by disease outbreaks caused by pathogens such as Vibrio crassostreae. These outbreaks not only lead to substantial economic loss and environmental damage, but treatment with antibiotics can also lead to antibiotic resistance affecting human health. Here, we evaluated the potential of probiotic bacteria, specifically the newly identified strain Phaeobacter piscinae S26, to counteract these threats in a sustainable manner. Through a systematic assessment of the antagonistic effect of P. piscinae S26 against V. crassostreae DMC-1, particularly within the context of algal feed systems, the study demonstrates the effectiveness of P. piscinae S26 as probiotic and thereby provides a strategic pathway for addressing disease outbreaks in aquaculture. This finding has the potential of significantly contributing to the long-term stability of the industry, highlighting the potential of probiotics as an efficient and environmentally conscious approach to safeguarding aquaculture productivity against the adverse impact of pathogens.

Abstract
The selective C(sp3)-S bond cleavage of thioethers was first developed to prepare unsymmetrical disulfides by using electrophilic halogenation reagents. In this strategy, NBS (N-bromosuccinimide) achieves selective furfuryl C(sp3)-S bond cleavage of furfuryl alkylthioethers at room temperature. Meanwhile, NFSI (N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide) enables selective methyl C(sp3)-S bond cleavage of aryl and alkyl methylthioethers at an elevated temperature. Notably, the substrate scope investigation indicates that the order of selectivity of the C-S bond cleavage is furfuryl C(sp3)-S > benzyl C(sp3)-S > alkyl C(sp3)-S > C(sp2)-S bond. Moreover, this practical and operationally simple strategy also provides an important complementary way to access various unsymmetrical disulfides with excellent functional group tolerances and moderate to good yields.

Abstract
Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is a marine organosulfur compound with important roles in stress protection, marine biogeochemical cycling, chemical signalling and atmospheric chemistry. Diverse marine microorganisms catabolize DMSP via DMSP lyases to generate the climate-cooling gas and info-chemical dimethyl sulphide. Abundant marine heterotrophs of the Roseobacter group (MRG) are well known for their ability to catabolize DMSP via diverse DMSP lyases. Here, a new DMSP lyase DddU within the MRG strain Amylibacter cionae H-12 and other related bacteria was identified. DddU is a cupin superfamily DMSP lyase like DddL, DddQ, DddW, DddK and DddY, but shares <15% amino acid sequence identity with these enzymes. Moreover, DddU proteins forms a distinct clade from these other cupin-containing DMSP lyases. Structural prediction and mutational analyses suggested that a conserved tyrosine residue is the key catalytic amino acid residue in DddU. Bioinformatic analysis indicated that the dddU gene, mainly from Alphaproteobacteria, is widely distributed in the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian and polar oceans. For reference, dddU is less abundant than dddP, dddQ and dddK, but much more frequent than dddW, dddY and dddL in marine environments. This study broadens our knowledge on the diversity of DMSP lyases, and enhances our understanding of marine DMSP biotransformation.

Abstract
Two analogues of 3-(dimethylsulfonio)propanoate (DMSP), 3-(diallylsulfonio)propanoate (DAllSP), and 3-(allylmethylsulfonio)propanoate (AllMSP), were synthesized and fed to marine bacteria from the Roseobacter clade. These bacteria are able to degrade DMSP into dimethyl sulfide and methanethiol. The DMSP analogues were also degraded, resulting in the release of allylated sulfur volatiles known from garlic. For unknown compounds, structural suggestions were made based on their mass spectrometric fragmentation pattern and confirmed by the synthesis of reference compounds. The results of the feeding experiments allowed to conclude on the substrate tolerance of DMSP degrading enzymes in marine bacteria.

The organosulfur compound dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is utilized as an osmoprotectant by Vibrio species. Appl Environ Microbiol 2021; 87:AEM.02235-20.

Abstract
Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP), a key component of the global geochemical sulfur cycle, is a secondary metabolite produced in large quantities by marine phytoplankton and utilized as an osmoprotectant, thermoprotectant and antioxidant. Marine bacteria can use two pathways to degrade and catabolize DMSP, a demethylation pathway and a cleavage pathway that produces the climate active gas dimethylsulfide (DMS). Whether marine bacteria can also accumulate DMSP as an osmoprotectant to maintain the turgor pressure of the cell in response to changes in external osmolarity has received little attention. The marine halophile Vibrio parahaemolyticus, contains at least six osmolyte transporters, four betaine carnitine choline transport (BCCT) carriers BccT1-BccT4 and two ABC-family ProU transporters. In this study, we showed that DMSP is used as an osmoprotectant by V. parahaemolyticus and several other Vibrio species including V. cholerae and V. vulnificus Using a V. parahaemolyticus proU double mutant, we demonstrated that these ABC transporters are not required for DMSP uptake. However, a bccT null mutant lacking all four BCCTs had a growth defect compared to wild type in high salinity media supplemented with DMSP. Using mutants possessing only one functional BCCT in growth pattern assays, we identified two BCCT-family transporters, BccT1 and BccT2, which are carriers of DMSP. The only V. parahaemolyticus BccT homolog that V. cholerae and V. vulnificus possess is BccT3 and functional complementation in Escherichia coli MKH13 showed V. cholerae VcBccT3 could transport DMSP. In V. vulnificus strains, we identified and characterized an additional BCCT family transporter, which we named BccT5 that was also a carrier for DMSP.Importance DMSP is present in the marine environment, produced in large quantities by marine phytoplankton as an osmoprotectant, and is an important component of the global geochemical sulfur cycle. This algal osmolyte has not been previously investigated for its role in marine heterotrophic bacterial osmotic stress response. Vibrionaceae are marine species, many of which are halophiles exemplified by V. parahaemolyticus, a species that possesses at least six transporters for the uptake of osmolytes. Here, we demonstrated that V. parahaemolyticus and other Vibrio species can accumulate DMSP as an osmoprotectant and show that several BCCT family transporters uptake DMSP. These studies suggest that DMSP is a significant bacterial osmoprotectant, which may be important for understanding the fate of DMSP in the environment. DMSP is produced and present in coral mucus and Vibrio species form part of the microbial communities associated with them. The function of DMSP in these interactions is unclear, but could be an important driver for these associations allowing Vibrio proliferation. This work suggests that DMSP likely has an important role in heterotrophic bacteria ecology than previously appreciated.

Abstract
Bacteria have evolved mechanisms that allow them to adapt to changes in osmolarity and some species have adapted to live optimally in high salinity environments such as in the marine ecosystem. Most bacteria that live in high salinity do so by the biosynthesis and/or uptake of compatible solutes, small organic molecules that maintain the turgor pressure of the cell. Osmotic stress response mechanisms and their regulation among marine heterotrophic bacteria are poorly understood. In this review, we discuss what is known about compatible solute metabolism and transport and new insights gained from studying marine bacteria belonging to the family Vibrionaceae.

Abstract
Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is widespread in the oceans, and its biological metabolite, dimethyl sulfide (DMS), plays an important role in the atmosphere. The Antarctic region has become a hotspot in DMS studies due to the high spatial and temporal variability in DMS(P) concentration, but the level of bacterial DMS production remains unclear. In this study, a bacterium isolated from Antarctic floating ice, Rhodococcus sp. NJ-530, was found to metabolize DMSP into DMS, and the rate of DMS production was measured as 3.96 pmol·mg protein-1 ·h-1 . Rhodococcus sp. NJ-530 had a DddD-Rh enzyme containing two CaiB domains, which belonged to the CoA-transferase III superfamily. However, the DddD-Rh had a molecular weight of 73.21 kDa, which was very different from previously characterized DddD enzymes in sequence and evolution. In vitro assays showed that DddD-Rh was functional in the presence of acetyl-CoA. This was the first functional DddD from Gram-positive Actinobacteria. Moreover, a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction revealed that high temperature facilitated the expression of dddD-Rh, and changes of salinity had little effect on it. This study adds new evidence to the bacterial DMS production in the Southern Ocean and provides a basis for investigating the metabolic mechanism of DMSP in extreme environments.

Abstract
Ozonolysis of isoprene, one of the most abundant volatile organic compounds in the earth's atmosphere, generates the four-carbon unsaturated methacrolein oxide (MACR-oxide) Criegee intermediate. The first laboratory synthesis and direct detection of MACR-oxide is achieved through reaction of photolytically generated, resonance-stabilized iodoalkene radicals with oxygen. MACR-oxide is characterized on its first π* ← π electronic transition using a ground-state depletion method. MACR-oxide exhibits a broad UV-visible spectrum peaked at 380 nm with weak oscillatory structure at long wavelengths ascribed to vibrational resonances. Complementary theory predicts two strong π* ← π transitions arising from extended conjugation across MACR-oxide with overlapping contributions from its four conformers. Electronic promotion to the 11ππ* state agrees well with experiment, and results in nonadiabatic coupling and prompt release of O 1D products observed as anisotropic velocity-map images. This UV-visible detection scheme will enable study of its unimolecular and bimolecular reactions under thermal conditions of relevance to the atmosphere.

Abstract
Dimethyl sulfide (DMS) is released at rates of >107 tons annually and plays a key role in the oceanic sulfur cycle and ecology. Marine bacteria, algae, and possibly other organisms release DMS via cleavage of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP). DMSP lyases have been identified in various organisms, including bacteria, coral, and algae, thus comprising a range of gene families putatively assigned as DMSP lyases. Metagenomics may therefore provide insight regarding the presence of DMSP lyases in various marine environments, thereby promoting a better understanding of global DMS emission. However, gene counts, and even mRNA levels, do not necessarily reflect the level of DMSP cleavage activity in a given environmental sample, especially because some of the families assigned as DMSP lyases may merely exhibit promiscuous lyase activity. Here, we describe a range of biochemical profiling methods that can assign an observed DMSP lysis activity to a specific gene family. These methods include selective inhibitors and DMSP substrate analogues. Combined with genomics and metagenomics, biochemical profiling may enable a more reliable identification of the origins of DMS release in specific organisms and in crude environmental samples.

Abstract
The l-cystine β-lyase from Phaeobacter inhibens is involved in the biosynthesis of the sulfur-containing antibiotic tropodithietic acid. The recombinant enzyme was obtained by heterologous expression in Escherichia coli and biochemically characterised by unambiguous chemical identification of the products formed from the substrate l-cystine, investigation of the substrate spectrum, determination of the enzyme kinetics, sequence alignment with closely related homologues and site-directed mutagenesis to identify a highly conserved lysine residue that is critical for functionality. PatB from P. inhibens is a new member of the small group of characterised l-cystine β-lyases and the first example of an enzyme with such an activity that is required for the biosynthesis of an antibiotic. A comparison of PatB to previously reported enzymes with l-cystine β-lyase activity from bacteria and plants is given.
