• 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).”
• The effects of changing climate on microzooplankton grazing and community structure: drivers, predictions and knowledge gaps (2013, background): “Some bloom-forming species of harmful algae produce exopolymer secretions (EPSs) that can deter protistan herbivores (Liu and Buskey, 2000), or other substances that render them unpalatable to many microbial consumers (Caron et al., 2000; Calbet et al., 2011).”
• Impacts of nutrients and grazing mortality on the abundance of Aureococcus anophagefferens during a New York brown tide bloom (2002, background): “Reduced microzooplankton grazing observed during Texas brown tides has been linked to extracellular polysaccharide secretions (EPS) from the causative species, Aureoumbra lagunensis (Buskey and Hyatt 1995; Liu and Buskey 2000).”
• Characteristics and roles of Microcystis extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) in cyanobacterial blooms: a short review (2018, background): “EPS have a defensive function and produce large quantities of EPS to reduce grazing by protists (Liu and Buskey 2000; Shnyukova and Zolotareva 2002; Sorrels et al. 2009).”
• POSITIVE FEEDBACK AND THE DEVELOPMENT AND PERSISTENCE OF ECOSYSTEM DISRUPTIVE ALGAL BLOOMS 1 (2006, background): “Bays in Long Island, New York; 1920s to 1950s (4) Aureococcus anophagefferens Pelagophyte 2–3 0.6 (201 C)b ?c Bays in northeast USA (1985 to present) and South Africa (6) Aureoumbra lagunensis Pelagophyte 4–5 0.5 (201 C)b 0.8 (301 C)b ?c Coastal lagoons in Texas, USA; 1989-present (6) Chrysochromuli”
• Novel interactions between phytoplankton and microzooplankton: their influence on the coupling between growth and grazing rates in the sea (2002, background): “Brown tide cells also produce a mucous coating, particularly in stationary phase and at very high salinities, which has been hypothesized to interfere with protist grazing (Liu & Buskey, 2000).”
