Attachment mechanisms of marine fouling organisms and progress of enzyme based antifouling technology
In this paper,the attachment mechanisms of marine fouling organisms and the progress of enzyme based antifouling technology were reviewed.Although marine fouling organisms have significant biological diversity and their attachment processes vary from each other remarkably,their attachment mechanisms are the same in some extent.Marine fouling organisms would achieve firm attachment through the synergistic effect of adhesive materials composed of proteins,polysaccharides and lipids,etc.Aiming at the components of biofouling adhesive materials and attachment mechanisms,enzyme based antifouling technology,one of the important development directions of new environment-friendly antifouling materials,has a broad application prospect due to its biocatalytic effect and environment-friendly characteristic.
