Can the protein/carbohydrate (P/C) ratio of exopolymeric substances (EPS) be used as a proxy for their 'stickiness' and aggregation propensity?
Microbially secreted exopolymeric substances (EPS), rich in polysaccharides and proteins,
make up an important part of natural organic matter in the ocean, especially marine snow …

Sea ice microorganisms: Environmental constraints and extracellular responses
Inherent to sea ice, like other high latitude environments, is the strong seasonality driven by
changes in insolation throughout the year. Sea-ice organisms are exposed to shifting …
