Abundance, Distribution Patterns, and the Contribution of Transparent Exopolymer Particles and Dissolved Acidic Polysaccharides to Organic Carbon in Lake Taihu, China

Transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) are essential for the carbon cycle in aquatic environments. However, the distribution of TEP, its precursor, and the contribution to the organic carbon pool in the large freshwater lake remain inadequately understood. Here, we focused on the spatial distributio...
