Eco-Friendly Antifouling Solutions: Hazard Assessment of Synthetic Derivatives of Natural Compounds

This study evaluates the ecotoxicity of two natural compound derivatives as eco-friendly antifouling agents, finding lower toxicity compared to traditional biocides.

Biofouling on aquaculture mesh: disentangling seasonal and environmental effects with eDNA

The paper examines seasonal and spatial patterns of biofouling on aquaculture mesh using eDNA metabarcoding, revealing environmental drivers and non-native species dominance.

Molecular evidence that barnacle attachment may be highly associated with a few eukaryotes in the marine biofilm

The paper investigates how different antifouling coatings affect barnacle colonization by analyzing microbial diversity in biofilms, finding significant differences in eukaryotic composition but not prokaryotic.

Molecular characterization of microbes in the center of barnacle footprints (part I): a case study for (under)graduate student laboratory research training

The paper collects and analyzes microbial DNA from barnacle footprints to identify potential microbes that may attract barnacle larvae.

The essential role of disulfide bonds for the hierarchical self-assembly and wet-adhesion of CP20-derived peptides

This study identifies a functional motif in BalCP20 that forms fractal-like structures through disulfide bonds, showing their essential role in self-assembly and wet-adhesion.

Study on the Difference of Prokaryotic Flora Structure on the Surface of Micro-nano Coating with Different Antifouling Property

This study compares prokaryotic flora structure on micro-nano coatings with different antifouling properties using 16S rDNA sequencing.
