Pyomelanin from Pseudoalteromonas lipolytica reduces biofouling
Members of the marine bacterial genus Pseudoalteromonas are efficient producers of antifouling agents that exert inhibitory effects on the settlement of invertebrate larvae. The production of pigmented secondary metabolites by Pseudoalteromonas has been suggested to play a role in surface colonization. However, the physiological characteristics of the pigments produced by Pseudoalteromonas rema...
متن کاملProperties and Function of Pyomelanin
Melanin pigments are the most common pigments produced in nature and these complex biopolymers are found in species of all biological kingdoms. There are several categories of melanins which include eumelanins, pheomelanins and allomelanins. Eumelanins and pheomelanins are produced from oxidation of tyrosine or phenylalanine to odihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) and dopaquinone. Pheomelanin results...
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 کاملSYMPOSIUM Barnacles and Biofouling
Synopsis Biofouling, the attachment and growth of organisms on submerged, man-made surfaces, has plagued ship operators for at least 2500 years. Accumulation of biofouling, including barnacles and other sessile marine invertebrates, increases the frictional resistance of ships’ hulls, resulting in an increase in power and in fuel consumption required to make speed. Scientists and engineers reco...
متن کاملUsing nanovibrations to monitor biofouling.
The article proposes the use of the mechatronic surface sensor (MSS) to detect surface contamination. This methodology is based on the analysis of the vibration response of the monitored surface. In the present work a comparison between the responses of the MSS to different structural deposits build-up (Pseudomonas fluorescens biofilm--formed under turbulent and laminar flow and a silica deposi...
