New insights into transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) formation from precursor materials at various Na+/Ca2+ ratios by Meng, Shujuan, Liu, Yu

“…We found that the formation of TEP from precursor materials studied was essentially determined by the Ca2+ concentration at a fixed sodium concentration, while Na+ at high Na+/Ca2+ ratio out-competed Ca2+ for the binding sites on the precursor molecules, leading to a significantly decreased trend of TEP formation. …”
