"Omics" Techniques Used in Marine Biofouling Studies. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci, 2023
Biofouling is the growth of organisms on wetted surfaces. Biofouling includes micro- (bacteria and unicellular algae) and macrofouling (mussels, barnacles, tube worms, bryozoans, etc.) and is a major problem for industries. However, the settlement and growth of some biofouling species, like oysters and corals, can be desirable. Thus, it is important to

Modelling the likelihood of entry of marine non-indigenous species from internationally arriving vessels to maritime ports: a case study using New Zealand data [PDF]

NeoBiota, 2022
The establishment of marine non-indigenous species (NIS) in new locations can degrade environmental, socio-cultural, and economic values. Vessels arriving from international waters are the main pathway for the entry of marine NIS, via exposure due to ...

Perceiving and Countering Marine Biofouling: Structure, Forces, and Processes at Surfaces in Sea Water Across the Length Scales. [PDF]

Langmuir
In marine industries, severe economic losses are caused by accumulating organisms on surfaces in biofouling processes. Establishing a universal and nontoxic protocol to eliminate biofouling has been a notoriously difficult task due to the complexity of the marine organisms’ interactions with surfaces and the chemical, mechanical, and morphological ...

The Isolation of Anaerobic and Facultative Anaerobic Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria (SRB) and a Comparison of Related Enzymes in Their Sulfate Reduction Pathways

Microorganisms, 2023
Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) are an important group of microorganisms that cause microbial corrosion. In this study, culturable SRB were isolated and identified from the inner rust layer of three kinds of steel and from sediments, and a comparison of ...

Nanocoating Is a New Way for Biofouling Prevention

Frontiers in Nanotechnology, 2021
Biofouling is a major concern to the maritime industry. Biofouling increases fuel consumption, accelerates corrosion, clogs membranes and pipes, and reduces the buoyancy of marine installations, such as ships, platforms, and nets.

Analysis of Bacterial Community Composition of Corroded Steel Immersed in Sanya and Xiamen Seawaters in China via Method of Illumina MiSeq Sequencing

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Metal corrosion is of worldwide concern because it is the cause of major economic losses, and because it creates significant safety issues. The mechanism of the corrosion process, as influenced by bacteria, has been studied extensively.

Amidoxime Group‐Anchored Single Cobalt Atoms for Anti‐Biofouling during Uranium Extraction from Seawater

Advanced Science, 2022
Marine biofouling is one of the most significant challenges hindering practical uranium extraction from seawater. Single atoms have been widely used in catalytic applications because of their remarkable redox property, implying that the single atom is ...

Research Progress of Anti-Biofouling Materials for Uranium Extraction From Seawater

He huaxue yu fangshe huaxue, 2022
With the two major development objectives of “emission peak” and “carbon neutrality” proposed, nuclear energy, as a full-fledged clean energy, will play an increasingly important role in China’s energy structure. As one of the most important nuclear fuel
