This is the case with some prymnesiophytes and dinoflagellates.
Prymnesiophyte blooms of E.huxleyi or
Phaeocystis occur over vast areas in the North Atlantic
(Figure 1b), as well as around Antarctica, and play a key role
in global geochemical cycles, through the release of
dimethyl-sulfonio-propionate (DMSP), a precursor for
dimethyl sulfide (DMS), itself a gas involved in cloud
nucleation (Westbroek et al., 1994).
