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 …

In the marine environment, all hard surfaces including marine macroorganims are colonized
by microorganisms mainly from the surrounding environment. The microorganisms …

In aquatic environments, biofouling is a natural process of colonization of submerged
surfaces, either living or artificial, involving a wide range of organisms from bacteria to …

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

In this study, extremely halophilic and moderately thermophilic microorganisms from a
hypersaline microbial mat were screened for their ability to produce antibacterial, antidiatom …

In this study, we screened seven novel sponge-associated marine bacteria for their
antibacterial and antilarval-settlement activity in order to find possible new sources of non …

A previously reported bacterial bioemulsifier, here termed microbactan, was further analyzed
to characterize its lipid component, molecular weight, ionic character and toxicity, along with …

Endophytic marine bacteria are a significant unexplored resource for the search of new
compounds with antifouling activity. In this study, endophytic marine bacteria isolated from …

Although biofilms are recognised as important in microbial colonisation, solutions to their
inhibition are predominantly based on planktonic assays. These solutions have limited …

Marine macroalgae are the habitat of epiphytic bacteria and provide several conditions for a
beneficial biological interaction to thrive. Although Bacillus is one of the most abundant …
