Bio‐energetics underpins the spatial response of North Sea plaice (Pleuronectes platessa L.) and sole (Solea solea L.) to climate change (2012, background): “…the excretion of transparent extracellular polysaccharides (TEP) which affect particle stickiness, sinking rates and therefore benthic food supply (Engel, 2000), (2) a Phaeocystis functional group for improved simulation of primary production in coastal areas (Peperzak et al., 1998) and (3) a…”
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) release by phytoplankton in the contemporary and future ocean (2014, background): “For example, TEP are sticky and affect the further aggregation of particles into larger aggregates that sink rapidly though the water column, affecting the biological carbon pump (Engel, 2000; Passow, 2002a; Thornton, 2002).”
The evolution and termination of an iron‐induced mesoscale bloom in the northeast subarctic Pacific (2005, background): “nitude (i.e., chlorophyll .6 mg L21; Engel 2000).”
Testing the direct effect of CO2 concentration on a bloom of the coccolithophorid Emiliania huxleyi in mesocosm experiments (2005, background): “TEP originate from dissolved precursors and are known to favor particle aggregation (Engel 2000).”
Effect of ocean acidification on microbial diversity and on microbe-driven biogeochemistry and ecosystem functioning (2010, unknown): “However, the enhanced DIC level did not cause an increase in the particulate organic carbon (POC) concentrations, possibly due to an increased TEP production, which stimulated particle aggregation and accelerated sedimentation as previously observed by Logan et al. (1995) and Engel (2000).”
Effects of rising temperature on the formation and microbial degradation of marine diatom aggregates (2009, background): “2 & 4), since TEP have been identified to promote aggregation by increasing the stickiness of particles (Alldredge et al. 1993, Passow et al. 1994, Engel 2000).”
Transparent exopolymer particles and dissolved organic carbon production by Emiliania huxleyi exposed to different CO2 concentrations: a mesocosm experiment (2004, background): “One explanation could be that the increased TEP production stimulated particle aggregation, as observed previously by Logan et al. (1995) and Engel (2000), and accelerated sedimentation.”
Parameter estimates of a zero-dimensional ecosystem model applying the adjoint method (2001, background): “polymer carbohydrates, aggregation might be far more e!ective due to increased collision rate and adherence ( Engel, 2000 ).”
Aggregation with clay causes sedimentation of the buoyant cyanobacteria Microcystis spp. (2006, background): “Stickiness of phytoplankton is often attributed to EPS and other transparent exopolymers (e.g. Kiørboe & Hansen 1993, Engel 2000).”
Microbial ecology of organic aggregates in aquatic ecosystems (2002, background): “…directly stick together and form macroaggregates, and TEP is produced only in the course of the microbial break-down of the aggregates, possibly also from colloidal material (Kiørboe & Hansen 1993, Hansen et al. 1995, Passow & Alldredge 1995, Grossart et al. 1997, Mari & Burd 1998, Engel 2000).”
