Bacterial Gene Generates Seaside Smell Researchers have identified a bacterial gene that is needed for the production of dimethyl sulfide, the climate-cooling gas responsible for the distinctive smell of the seaside. The discovery challenges the current hypothesis for the mechanism involved in the synthesis of DMS.   |
