Abstract Transparent Exopolymer Particles (TEP) have received considerable attention
since they were first described in the ocean more than 20 years ago. This is because of their …

Recent discoveries reveal that polymer gel particles are abundant and important in the
microbial loop, sedimentation processes, biogeochemical cycling, marine carbohydrate …

We studied the direct effects of CO2 and related changes in seawater carbonate chemistry
on marine planktonic organisms in a mesocosm experiment. In nine outdoor enclosures …

Exopolymer particles play a significant role in biogeochemical processes in the ocean.
Coomassie stainable particles (CSP) are a class of gel-like exopolymer particles that contain …

To date no study exists that directly addresses changes in dynamics of heterotrophic
bacteria in surface waters in relation to partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2). Therefore, we …

Marine aerosols play a dominant role in the transfer of oceanic material to the atmosphere.
Most marine aerosol originates when air bubbles burst at the sea surface ejecting material …

The role of transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) for
organic carbon partitioning under different CO 2 conditions was examined during a …

The abundance of transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) was determined in the northeast
Atlantic Ocean (40–55° N,∼ 20° W) during several cruises from June to November 1996. An …

Because the sea surface controls various interactions between the ocean and the
atmosphere, it has a profound function for marine biogeochemistry and climate regulation …

During phytoplankton growth a fraction of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) assimilated by
phytoplankton is exuded in the form of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), which can be …
