Transparent Exopolymer Particles (TEP): an overlooked factor in the process of biofilm formation in aquatic environments [PDF]
, 2007 We hypothesize that transparent exopolymer particles (TEP), present in high concentrations in most sea and freshwaters, are critical agents for biofilm initiation and development in many natural and anthropogenic aquatic environments.

Anti-biofouling functional surfaces for marine aquaculture [PDF]
Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects, 2022 Aquaculture is a global-scale industry providing sustainable production of protein-rich foods required to feed the growing world population. Microalgae cultivation in aquaculture bioreactors can exude extracellular polymeric substances leading to biofouling of culture infrastructure and increased algal disease risk.

Biofouling protection for marine environmental sensors [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2009 Abstract. These days, many marine autonomous environment monitoring networks are set up in the world. These systems take advantage of existing superstructures such as offshore platforms, lightships, piers, breakwaters or are placed on specially designed buoys or underwater oceanographic structures.
