Fig. 1: DMSP and DMSOP cleavage pathways.
From: DMSOP-cleaving enzymes are diverse and widely distributed in marine microorganisms

The three distinct pathways for DMSP and DMSOP cleavage are indicated, as are the key catabolic enzymes. DMSP and DMSOP-specific products are shown in pink and lilac shading, respectively. Dotted lines represent unconfirmed steps of the DddX DMSP cleavage pathway. 3-HP, 3-hydroxypropionate; ATP, adenosine triphosphate; ADP, adenosine diphosphate; AMP, adenosine monophosphate; Pi, inorganic phosphate; PPi, pyrophosphate; NADPH, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate.
