Adhesion of marine fouling organisms on artificial surfaces such as ship hulls causes many
problems, including extra energy consumption, high maintenance costs, and increased …

Any natural or artificial substratum exposed to seawater is quickly fouled by marine
microorganisms and later by macrofouling species. Microfouling organisms on the surface of …

We review research from the last 40 yr on macroalgal–bacterial interactions. Marine
macroalgae have been challenged throughout their evolution by microorganisms and have …

Following the ban in 2003 on the use of tributyl-tin compounds in antifouling coatings, the
search for an environmentally-friendly alternative has accelerated. Biocidal TBT alternatives …

Abstract Perfluorodecyltrichlorosilane-based poly (dimethylsiloxane)-ZnO (FDTS-based
PDMS-ZnO) nanocomposite coating with anti-corrosion and anti-fouling capabilities has …

Natural and artificial substrata immersed in the marine environment are typically colonized
by microorganisms, which may moderate the settlement/recruitment of algal spores and …

In recent decade, seaweeds-associated microbial communities have been significantly
evaluated for functional and chemical analyses. Such analyses let to conclude that …

This review surveys whatever little is known on the influence of different environmental
factors like light, temperature, nutrients, chemicals (such as plant hormones, vitamins, etc.) …

Biofouling is a broad word encompassing marine organisms such as animals,
microorganisms, and plants that grow when immersed in both normal and abnormal …

The green algae, Ulva spp., have been causing environmental problems worldwide, eg,
green tides and biofoulings. Green tides resulted from bloom floating Ulva have caused …
