Does Phaeocystis spp. contribute significantly to vertical export of organic carbon? (2007, background): “colonies (Passow and Wassmann 1994; Hong et al. 1997; Passow 2000; Passow 2002), and are suggested to induce mass flux events.”
Water residence time: A regulatory factor of the DOM to POM transfer efficiency (2007, background): “Transparent exopolymeric particles (TEP) are formed by coagulation of DOM (Zhou et al. 1998; Mari 1999; Passow 2000), particularly the more reactive fraction (i.e., HMW-DOM; Zhou et al. 1998).”
Production of transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) in cultures of Chaetoceros calcitrans under nitrogen limitation (2000, background): “TEP are formed by aggregation of precursors 0.2 µm (Passow 2000).”
Molecular insights into the microbial formation of marine dissolved organic matter: recalcitrant or labile? (2014, background): “A surfaceactive fraction of marine exopolymers, which are rich in acidic polysaccharides, abiotically forms a class of particles called transparent exopolymer particles (TEP; Mopper et al., 1995; Zhou et al., 1998; Passow, 2000).”
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) release by phytoplankton in the contemporary and future ocean (2014, background): “, PASSOW, U. & LOGAN B.E. (1993). The abundance and significance of a class of large, transparent organic particles in the ocean.”
Abundance and characteristics of polysaccharide and proteinaceous particles in Lake Kinneret (2001, background): “Additionally these particles, together with their associated flora and fauna, can serve as ‘food packages’ for protists, microzooplankton and even larval fish (Grossart et al. 1998, Passow & Alldredge 2000).”
Vertical distribution of exopolymer particles in sea ice of the Fram Strait (Arctic) during autumn (2003, background): “Planktonic exopolymer particles can be formed biotically by bacteria and algae in the form of capsules and sheets, but are mainly formed abiotically by coagulation of dissolved organic matter and colloidal precursors (Zhou et al. 1998, Stoderegger & Herndl 1999, Passow 2000, 2002).”
Marine snow formation in the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico (2012, background): “…off cell surfaces as nanofibers (Leppard 1997) which self-assemble to colloidal sized nanogels (Chin et al 1998), which coalesce to form larger gels and porous networks, many of which become visible as µm to mm sized transparent exopolymeric particles (TEP; Passow 2000, Verdugo and Santschi 2010).”
Seasonal study of sea-ice exopolymeric substances on the Mackenzie shelf: implications for transport of sea-ice bacteria and algae (2006, background): “These exopolymers can be found as thick gels around bacteria and algal cells (Myklestad 1995, Underwood et al. 1995), as free colloidal organic matter (Decho 1990, Passow 2000), or as part of large particles and aggregates (Alldredge et al. 1993, Passow et al. 2001).”
Ascending marine particles: Significance of transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) in the upper ocean (2004, background): “TEP are formed abiotically from dissolved precursors released by phytoplankton and bacteria (Passow 2000) and consist predominantly of surface-active polysaccharides (Mopper et al. 1995; Zhou et al. 1998).”
Production and partitioning of organic matter during simulated phytoplankton blooms (2003, unknown): “…DOM, or DOM that is resistant to rapid microbial degradation, can be exported from the euphotic zone through horizontal advection, vertical mixing, or sinking of aggregates (Peltzer and Hayward 1996; Passow 2000), which possibly results in the long-term removal of C and N from the euphotic zone.”
