Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Amphiphilic copolymer coatings comprising sulfobetaine methacrylate (SBMA) and isobornyl methacrylate (IBMA) are reported, synthesized via SI‐ATRP, that resist biological fouling and sediment accumulation. The copolymer coating with an SBMA:IBMA feed molar ratio of 1:1 is optimal for reducing diatom adhesion and sediment adsorption.

Unravelling the Functional Diversity of Type III Polyketide Synthases in Fungi
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Type III polyketide synthases (T3PKSs) produce diverse compounds of ecological and clinical importance. Here, the activity of 37 fungal T3PKSs was profiled, revealing unexpected products and generating several pharmaceutical precursors. The machine learning model trained on the activity data accurately extrapolates the predictions to other enzymes and ...

Enhanced self-healing capacity in cementitious materials by use of encapsulated carbonate precipitating bacteria : from proof-of-concept to reality [PDF]
, 2013 In this study, two bacteria-based self-healing systems were developed for the proof-of-concept and approach to a realistic self-healing. A self-healing system with glass capillaries and silica sol gel carried bacterial cells was first built.
