| Popis: | Many compounds with attaching repellent activity in the blue mussel assay also showed antifouling activity in the conventional submerged assay. Only those attaching repellents with antimicrobial activity against marine Gram-positive bacteria isolated from slime, as well as Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus suhtilis, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, and Candida alhicans exhibited antifouling activity. A combination of the blue mussel and antimicrobial assays is suggested to be a simple and efficient screening procedure for antifouling substances. |
