“…The colonisation of their surfaces can lead to a change from a planktonic to a benthic existence, a shift from a motile to a sessile life form or the initiation of pathogenesis and eventually the death of the host (Steinberg et al 2002). Marine organisms have developed mechanisms to cope with fouling, including mechanical defences (moulting or sloughing, grooming), physical defences (surface tension, microtopography) or chemical defences (surface pH, bioactive compounds ;Stoecker 1978;Davis et al 1989;Bobzin and Faulkner 1991;Wahl and Sönnichsen 1992;Becker and Wahl 1996;Hellio et al 2009). Among these organisms, marine algae produce a wide variety of chemically active metabolites, potentially as an aid to protect themselves against other settling organisms that could prevent or reduce access to light and nutrients (Henrikson and Pawlik 1995;Wahl 2008;Hellio et al 2009).…”

Active metabolites from several species of marine macro-and microalgae are reported as antibacterial, antifungal, antialgal and/or antimacrofouling agents that are effective in the prevention of biofouling (Fusetani 2004;Maréchal et al 2004;Barbosa et al 2007;Tsoukatou et al 2007;Cassano et al 2008;Culioli et al 2008;Mokrini et al 2008;Plouguerné et al 2010).…”

Antifouling activity as a function of population variation in Sargassum vulgare from the littoral of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil)

et al. 2010

The brown seaweed Sargassum vulgare is abundant along the coast of Rio de Janeiro state. An investigation of the spatial variation of antifouling activity was conducted, in which algae were collected at five locations along the coast of Rio de Janeiro during October 2008. Hexane, dichloromethane, methanol and acetone/water extracts were prepared and screened for their bioactivities against the growth of five strains of marine fouling bacteria, five biofilm-associated microphytobenthic strains and attachment of the mussel Perna perna. The most active were the hexane extracts from Bananal algae that inhibited the growth of all microalgae tested; the methanol and dichloromethane extracts from Mar do Norte, which inhibited Vibrio aestuarianus and Pseudoalteromonas elyakovii and the polyphenol extracts from Ilha de Itacuruçá and Bananal that inhibited mussel attachment, respectively, by 64% and 71% compared to controls.

“…Since many barnacles settle readily onto biogenic surfaces and persist there for years, their adhesives must have evolved in a long-running 'arms race', both against bacteria and organisms that need to remain clear of epibionts 2 . The bioadhesive systems of barnacles and other sessile marine invertebrates have in fact become so effective that most living surfaces that resist colonization do so via toxic means 3 , grooming 4 or by sloughing 5 .…”

“…Besides the question of the ecological role of antifouling molecules of marine organisms, they are a promising tool for the development of commercial antifouling paints (Hellio et al, 2009). Biofouling on artificial structures causes financial losses of over $6.5 billion dolars per year due to reduction in navigation efficiency of commercial ships caused by the increased friction by the irregular shape of the fouling organism (Holmes, 1970;Houghton, 1978;da Gama et al, 2003;Bhadury and Wright, 2004).…”

Antifouling activity of twelve demosponges from Brazil

et al. 2013

Benthic marine organisms are constantly exposed to fouling, which is harmful to most host species. Thus, the production of secondary metabolites containing antifouling properties is an important ecological advantage for sessile organisms and may also provide leading compounds for the development of antifouling paints. High antifouling potential of sponges has been demonstrated in the Indian and Pacific oceans and in the Caribbean and Mediterranean seas. Brazilian sponges remain understudied concerning antifouling activities. Only two scientific articles reported this activity in sponges of Brazil. The objective of this study was to test crude extracts of twelve species of sponges from Brazil against the attachment of the mussel Perna perna through laboratorial assays, and highlight promising species for future studies. The species Petromica citrina, Amphimedon viridis, Desmapsamma anchorata, Chondrosia sp., Polymastia janeirensis, Tedania ignis, Aplysina fulva, Mycale angulosa, Hymeniacidon heliophila, Dysidea etheria, Tethya rubra, and Tethya maza were frozen and freeze-dried before extraction with acetone or dichloromethane. The crude extract of four species significantly inhibited the attachment of byssus: Tethya rubra (p = 0.0009), Tethya maza (p = 0.0039), Petromica citrina (p = 0.0277), and Hymeniacidon heliophila (p = 0.00003). These species, specially, should be the target of future studies to detail the substances involved in the ability antifouling well as to define its amplitude of action.Keywords: Porifera, Demospongiae, antifouling, Perna perna, Brazil. Atividade anti-incrustante de doze demosponjas do Brasil ResumoOrganismos bentônicos marinhos estão expostos constantemente à incrustação, que pode ser danosa para a maioria das espécies. Assim, a produção de metabólitos secundários com propriedades anti-incrustantes é uma vantagem ecológica importante para organismos sésseis e pode também orientar o estudo de substâncias para o desenvolvimento de tintas anti-incrustantes. O alto potencial anti-incrustante de esponjas tem sido demonstrado nos oceanos Índico e Pacífico, nos mares Mediterrâneo e Caribenho. Esponjas brasileiras permanecem pouco estudadas em relação à atividade anti-incrustante. Apenas dois artigos científicos registraram essa atividade em esponjas do Brasil. O objetivo desse estudo foi testar os extratos brutos de doze espécies de esponjas do Brasil contra a fixação do molusco Perna perna através de ensaios laboratoriais e também destacar espécies promissoras para estudos futuros. As espécies Petromica citrina, Amphimedon viridis, Desmapsamma anchorata, Chondrosia sp., Polymastia janeirensis, Tedania ignis, Aplysina fulva, Mycale angulosa, Hymeniacidon heliophila, Dysidea etheria, Tethya rubra e Tethya maza foram congeladas e liofilizadas logo após a coleta e posteriormente procedeu-se a extração com acetona ou diclorometano. O extrato bruto de quatro espécies inibiu significativamente a fixação de bissos: Tethya rubra (p = 0.0009), Tethya maza (p = 0.0039), Petromica citrina (p...
