The aggregation of phytoplankton leads to the settling of particulate organic carbon in the form of marine snow, making it an important process in marine biogeochemical cycles. Diatoms >20 µm in size are considered to contribute appreciably to sinking particle fluxes due to aggregation and the production of transparent exopolymeric particles (TEP), the matrix for marine snow aggregates; however, it is not known whether nano-sized (2–20 µm) diatoms are able to aggregate and produce TEP.
