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 …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is the strongest light-absorbing component of seawater,
especially in coastal regions, and therefore it plays a dominant role in marine photochemical …

Analytical techniques employed over the past three decades for sugar determination in
marine samples are reviewed. This review first summarizes the different hydrolysis protocols …
