Atmospheric emissions of volatile organic sulfur compounds                      (VOSCs) from the marine environment represent an important                      component of the global sulfur cycle.  It is now well established               that microbial activity contributes to the production of VOSCs,                 but the extent of microbial consumption is unknown.   This                      research will test the hypothesis that microbial metabolism of                  VOSC controls its emission from sediments and seawater.                                                                                                         The program will: (1) develop and employ radiotracer methods to                 determine turnover rates of dimethylsulfide (DMS) in sediments                  and seawater in a salt marsh;  (2) determine microbial control                  over VOSC fluxes from sediments;  (3) study production and                      consumption of COS and CS2 in sediments;  (4) isolate microbes                  that metabolize VOSC.  This research will provide the first                     direct measurements of VOSC turnover rates in sediments and in                  the water column.
