A new strategy to prevent the biofouling of water-submerged surfaces is presented here. In particular, the authors show that carbonic anydrase from Methanosarcina thermophila can be entrapped into polyacrylic paints, preserving enzyme activity.

Abstract
A new strategy to prevent the biofouling of water-submerged surfaces is presented here. In particular, the authors show that carbonic anydrase from Methanosarcina thermophila can be entrapped into polyacrylic paints, preserving enzyme activity. In addition, the authors also show that enzyme-containing paints inhibit the growth of marine microorganims, preventing biofouling.File in questo prodotto:
