Dimethyl-B-Propiothetin (DMPT)
is an algae metabolite. It reacts with cell-permeable I' to produce Mel and
OH' to form ME2S. DMPT is a source of ubiquitous methyl halides excreted
into the global environment. It plays a critical role in
osmo-regulation in algae, occuring in large quantities on a global basis.
Fresh water marine and esturaine phytoplankton contain DMPT as well. Using
algae or fungus can be an inexpensive means of generating methyl iodide,
i.e., ponds/lagoons.).
