Shape and size in phytoplankton ecology: do they matter? (2007, background): “As shown by Reynolds (2007) mucilage production may be good for density reduction, nutrient sequestration and processing, as well as a source of defence against grazing and digestion, and heavy metal exposition.”
Taxonomic reassessment of the genus Chlorella (Trebouxiophyceae) using molecular signatures (barcodes), including description of seven new species. (2011, background): “The presence or absence of mucilage is in most cases taxon specific, but the thickness is variable and often influenced by environmental factors (reynolds 2007).”
Invited Review - Fight on Plankton! or, Phytoplankton Shape and Size as Adaptive Tools to Get Ahead in the Struggle for Life (2011, background): “…their nutrient uptake such as alkaline phosphatases production, nitrogen fixation, mixotrophy and mucilage production which can help nutrient sequestration and processing, as well as give the capacity to take up nutrients through passing undamaged the gut of their grazers (Reynolds, 1997, 2007).”
Comparative studies on physiological responses to phosphorus in two phenotypes of bloom-forming Microcystis (2007, background): “Simultaneously, a distinct microenvironment is maintained wherein the rapid uptake of nutrients across the cell wall leaves the immediate environment more dilute than the exterior environment, hence facilitating a beneficial inward diffusion gradient from the medium to the mucilage ( Reynolds, 2007 ”
Present state of the systematics of planktonic coccoid green algae of inland waters (2012, background): “Based on autecological features and functional characteristics, Reynolds et al. (2002) and Padisák et al.”
Taxonomic reassessment of the genus Mychonastes (Chlorophyceae, Chlorophyta) including the description of eight new species (2011, background): “The formation of thick mucilaginous envelopes may be a response to both effects (Reynolds 2007).”
