Natural antifouling compound production by microbes associated with marine macroorganisms — A review

Electronic Journal of Biotechnology, 2016
In the marine environment, all hard surfaces including marine macroorganims are colonized by microorganisms mainly from the surrounding environment. The microorganisms associated with marine macroorganisms offer tremendous potential for exploitation of ...

Ultralight Conductive MXene Aerogels: From Material Design to Energy, Environment, and Electronic Applications

Small Science, Volume 6, Issue 4, April 2026.
MXene aerogels combine the intrinsic conductivity and surface chemistry of MXenes with ultralight, highly porous 3D architectures, enabling efficient charge/heat transport and multifunctional performance. By tailoring pore structure, orientation, surface functional groups, and hybrid compositions (with polymers, carbons, metals, and MOFs), MXene ...

Toward a Global Regime of Vessel Anti-Fouling [PDF]

, 2015
Vessel anti-fouling is key to the efficient operation of ships, and essential for effective control of invasive species introduced through international shipping. Anti-Fouling Systems, however, pose their own threats to marine environments.

Nanosecond‐Pulsed Laser Beam Shaping with a Liquid Crystal Spatial Light Modulator for Rapid Microtexturing of Metallic Surfaces

Advanced Photonics Research, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study investigates the microtexture generation with various shapes (e.g., circular, triangle, square, hexagon, and others) on stainless steel 316 L surface using a liquid‐crystal spatial light modulator. The method combining computer‐generated holograms with images demonstrates high energy efficiency. Textures with 6–12 μm depth and 50–70 μm width

A Multi-Bioassay Integrated Approach to Assess the Antifouling Potential of the Cyanobacterial Metabolites Portoamides

Marine Drugs, 2019
The cyclic peptides portoamides produced by the cyanobacterium Phormidium sp. LEGE 05292 were previously isolated and their ability to condition microcommunities by allelopathic effect was described.

Toxicity of three comercial tannins to the nuisance invasive species Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker, 1857): implications for control [PDF]

, 2011
Adding biocides to water is one strategy to control macrofouling organisms. A natural biocide that helps to prevent/control macrofouling of Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker, 1857) on human installations is one way to minimize environmental impacts of ...

Chalcone derivatives as promising antifoulants: Molecular optimization, bioactivity evaluation and performance in coatings

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Marine biofouling remains a huge concern for maritime industries and for environmental health. Although the current biocide-based antifouling coatings can prevent marine biofouling, their use has been associated with toxicity for the marine environment ...
