Acrylic acid and DMS are decomposition products of DMSP. Acrylic acid is hypothesized to be microbially oxidized to acetylene thereby potentially fueling a hidden acetylene cycle. The reaction from acrylic acid to acetylene yields a free energy of ΔGreaction = −623.2 + 209.9 - (−291.5) = −121.8 kJ mol−1.
