Methylophaga thiooxydans is a methylotrophic bacterium that requires high salt concentrations for growth. It was originally isolated from a culture of the algae Emiliania huxleyi, where it grows by breaking down dimethylsulfoniopropionate from E. hexleyi into dimethylsulfide and acrylate.[2][3][4][5] M. thiooxydans has been implicated as a dominant organism in phytoplankton blooms, where it consumes dimethylsulfide, methanol and methyl bromide released by dying phytoplankton.[6][7] It was also identified as one of the dominant organisms present in the plume following the Deepwater Horizon oil spill,[8] and was identified as a major player in the breakdown of methanol in coastal surface water in the English Channel.[9]
