Solution details
The new antifouling agent is developed using marine microorganisms. This technology comes from three marine fungi and a deep-sea bacterium. They can produce organic small molecule compounds with antibacterial activity and inhibit the adhesion of barnacles and polychaeta larvae on the surface, thereby achieving antifouling effects.
