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).”

Microbial oceanography of the dark ocean's pelagic realm (2009, background): “…such as transparent exopolymer particles (TEP; Alldredge et al. 1993; Passow 2002) are largely responsible for the aggregation of diatom blooms and the formation of large sinking aggregates (.500 mm), known as ‘‘marine snow’’ (Suzuki and Kato 1953; Alldredge and Silver 1988; Thornton 2002).”
