To identify the genes and regulatory pathways triggered by dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) degradation in the marine model bacterium Silicibacter pomeroyi DSS-3.
Constructed an oligonucleotide-based whole-genome microarray covering nearly all predicted genes in Silicibacter pomeroyi DSS-3.
Profiled time-series transcriptional changes in bacterial cultures supplemented with DMSP relative to an acetate control.
Upregulated multiple candidate genes associated with potential functional roles in DMSP catabolism and assimilation.
Induced transcriptional changes in transport and degradation systems for peptides, amino acids, and polyamines, reflecting broader metabolic shifts.

Implication

Transcriptomic analysis reveals widespread metabolic upregulation in Silicibacter pomeroyi following DMSP exposure, suggesting DMSP acts as an environmental nutrient-sensing signal.
