For millions of years, barnacles and mussels have successfully adhered to wet rocks near tide-swept seashores. While the chemistry and mechanics of their underwater adhesives are being thoroughly investigated, an overlooked aspect of marine organismal adhesion is their ability to remove underlying biofilms from rocks and prepare clean surfaces before the deposition of adhesive anchors. Herein, we demonstrate that nonionic, coacervating synthetic polymers that mimic the physicochemical features of marine underwater adhesives remove ∼99% of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) biofilm biomass from underwater surfaces. The efficiency of biofilm removal appears to align with the compositional differences between various bacterial biofilms. In addition, the surface energy influences the ability of the polymer to displace the biofilm, with biofilm removal efficiency decreasing for surfaces with lower surface energies. These synthetic polymers weaken the biofilm–surface interactions and exert shear stress to fracture the biofilms grown on surfaces with diverse surface energies. Since bacterial biofilms are 1000-fold more tolerant to common antimicrobial agents and pose immense health and economic risks, we anticipate that our unconventional approach inspired by marine underwater adhesion will open a new paradigm in creating antibiofilm agents that target the interfacial and viscoelastic properties of established bacterial biofilms.
期刊介绍:
The flagship journal of the American Chemical Society, known as the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS), has been a prestigious publication since its establishment in 1879. It holds a preeminent position in the field of chemistry and related interdisciplinary sciences. JACS is committed to disseminating cutting-edge research papers, covering a wide range of topics, and encompasses approximately 19,000 pages of Articles, Communications, and Perspectives annually. With a weekly publication frequency, JACS plays a vital role in advancing the field of chemistry by providing essential research.
