Can clouds help mitigate global warming? Missing links found in biology of cloud formation over oceans

ScienceDaily (2011-05-11) -- A new study brings the possibility of using the sulfur cycle to mitigate global warming closer with the identification of the steps in the biochemical pathway that controls how bacteria release the sulfur compound methanethiol, or MeSH, into the microbial food web in the oceans and the genes responsible for that process.
