Marine biofouling has negatively affected human sailing since ancient times. Traditional
antifouling coatings were banned worldwide in 2003 due to their toxicity towards nontarget …

The slow discovery of new antibiotics combined with the alarming emergence of antibiotic-
resistant bacteria underscores the need for alternative treatments. In this regard, fish skin …

The last few decades have witnessed the great progress in surface modification through the
use of functional polymer coatings. Surface-grafted polymers with thickness ranging from …

This study explored the bactericidal role of the epidermal mucus (EM) of five freshwater
Cyprinid fish species namely Ctenopharyngodon idella, Labeo rohita, Catla catla …

This research was directed to understand the bactericidal effect of epidermal mucus of two
