“…These examples demonstrate the significant potential of exploring new functional peptides. Unlike conventional extraction methods, the contemporary approach for investigating natural products involves genome mining based on machine learning, which integrates homology searching, active peptide characterization, and enzymatic hydrolysis strategies [ 20 , 21 , 22 ]. Barnacle proteomics analysis has revealed the presence of numerous functional proteins [ 19 ].…”

Barnacles, a prevalent fouler organism in intertidal zones, has long been a source of annoyance due to significant economic losses and ecological impacts. Numerous antifouling approaches have been explored, including extensive research on antifouling chemicals. However, the excessive utilization of small-molecule chemicals appears to give rise to novel environmental concerns. Therefore, it is imperative to develop new strategies. Barnacles exhibit appropriate responses to environmental challenges with complex physiological processes and unique sensory systems. Given the assumed crucial role of bioactive peptides, an increasing number of peptides with diverse activities are being discovered in barnacles. Fouling-related processes have been identified as potential targets for antifouling strategies. In this paper, we present a comprehensive review of peptides derived from barnacles, aiming to underscore their significant potential in the quest for innovative solutions in biofouling prevention and drug discovery.
