Vertical distribution of exopolymer particles in sea ice of the Fram Strait (Arctic) during autumn (2003, background): “…have shown increased production of exopolymeric substances by planktonic and benthic algae under nutrient limitation, during senescence of algal blooms, and in response to different environmental stress factors (Decho 1990, Myklestad 1995, Corzo et al. 2000, Liu & Buskey 2000, Staats et al. 2000).”
Abundance, size distribution and bacterial colonization of exopolymer particles in Antarctic sea ice (Bellingshausen Sea) (2004, background): “Increased EPS production by algae has also been described for senescent diatom blooms and as a response to high salinities, low temperatures, low irradiances and nutrient limitation (Aletsee & Jahnke 1992, Hoagland et al. 1993, Passow & Alldredge 1994, Mopper et al. 1995, Liu & Buskey 2000).”
The ubiquity and many roles of exopolymers (EPS) in aquatic systems (2004, background): “As the EPS matrix is highly hydrated it is likely to prevent dessication should the unicellular organisms become exposed temporarily to the air and it protects algae against salinity changes (Liu and Buskey, 2000a).”
