We had this phenomenal work come out a couple of days ago. This is one of those works in which an irrational polymer design was found to weaken the biofilm-surface interactions and clear biofilms from underwater surfaces without killing the bacteria!.

With a series of clever instrumentation and experimental designs, @biofilmlover and @nityanshu_kumar found that biofilms love the polymer more than the glass and slide off with the polymer-dense phase! Why? We do not know! @JoylabUAkron.

Naturally, we tested a polymer system I developed a few years ago to see if it could replicate the Barnacle magic! What are the chances? It clears P. aeruginousa biofilms from glass!

Almost 7 years ago, I saw this video of barnacles sticking onto fouled surfaces. One thing we could not help but notice was the barnacle’s ability to “clean” underwater surfaces before sticking.
