Enhancing Biocide Efficacy: Targeting Extracellular DNA for Marine Biofilm Disruption

Microorganisms, 2022
Biofilm formation is a global health, safety and economic concern. The extracellular composition of deleterious multispecies biofilms remains uncanvassed, leading to an absence of targeted biofilm mitigation strategies. Besides economic incentives, drive

Biocide-Containing Facades Alter Culture-Based Bacterial and Fungal Community Composition and Resistance Patterns to Octylisothiazolinone [PDF]

Microorganisms
Microbial communities are known to colonize biocide-free (BFFs) and even biocide-containing façades (BCFs) under various environmental conditions, leading to loss of value of façades due to biologically caused aging and discoloration. The first objective

A computational model for microbial colonization of an antifouling surface

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Biofouling of marine surfaces such as ship hulls is a major industrial problem. Antifouling (AF) paints delay the onset of biofouling by releasing biocidal chemicals.
