Biofouling of Titanium – Biomineralization and Corrosion Aspects
Manganese oxidizing bacteria colonizing the titanium surfaces exposed to seawater were characterized by periodically retrieving the coupons over a period of two years. About 20% of the initial colonizers were capable of oxidizing manganese, and the dominant manganese oxidizing bacteria were those belonging to Gram negative Pseudomonas spp. Gram positive, Bacillus spp, were also observed, though...
متن کاملBiofouling: lessons from nature.
Biofouling is generally undesirable for many applications. An overview of the medical, marine and industrial fields susceptible to fouling is presented. Two types of fouling include biofouling from organism colonization and inorganic fouling from non-living particles. Nature offers many solutions to control fouling through various physical and chemical control mechanisms. Examples include low d...
متن کاملInhibition of biofouling by marine microorganisms and their metabolites.
Development of microbial biofilms and the recruitment of propagules on the surfaces of man-made structures in the marine environment cause serious problems for the navies and for marine industries around the world. Current antifouling technology is based on the application of toxic substances that can be harmful to the natural environment. For this reason and the global ban of tributyl tin (TBT...
متن کاملDesigning and Creating a Mouse Using Nature-Inspired Shapes
Human beings have always made their tools and instruments they need using patterns in nature. Mimicking nature has become the foundation of a new science called Biomimetics. In the present article, multiple forms and levels in nature were utilized to design and create a mouse. The rivers are a good source for choosing the shape of a mouse with lots of stones abraded through the centuries which ...
متن کاملMarine biofouling: a sticky problem.
Organisms that colonise underwater surfaces, such as barnacle larvae and spores of algae, use a diverse array of biological 'glues' to provide both temporary and more permanent adhesion. The practical consequence of colonisation by these organisms is biofouling - something that has plagued mariners for years - causing increased drag and, in extreme cases, corrosion. Might there be a biological ...
