Barnacles and Biofouling [PDF]
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2012 Biofouling, the attachment and growth of organisms on submerged, man-made surfaces, has plagued ship operators for at least 2500 years. Accumulation of biofouling, including barnacles and other sessile marine invertebrates, increases the frictional resistance of ships' hulls, resulting in an increase in power and in fuel consumption required to make ...

Fungal infections: Pathogenesis, antifungals and alternate treatment approaches
Current Research in Microbial Sciences, 2022 Increasing incidence of fungal infections of recent times requires immediate intervention. Fungal infections are seldom construed at initial stages that intensify the severity of infections and complicate the treatment procedures. Fungal pathogens employ

Biofouling Community Structure in a Tropical Estuary of Goa on the West Coast of India
ASEAN Journal on Science and Technology for Development, 2018 Biofouling community structure was studied in a tropical monsoon-influenced Mandovi estuary in Goa, west coast of India. Monthly, seasonal and yearly observations on biofouling on polyvinyl chloride (PVC) panels immersed at subsurface water level were ...
