DOI: 10.1002/marc.201700216
Abstract: Contact-active antimicrobial polymer surfaces bear cationic charges and kill or deactivate bacteria by interaction with the negatively charged parts of their cell envelope (lipopolysaccharides, peptidoglycan, and membrane lipids). The exact mechanism of this interaction is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cej.2020.124273
Abstract: Abstract Uranium extraction from seawater is a long-term process, in which biofouling caused by marine bacteria drastically decreases the properties of adsorbents. All reported antimicrobial uranium adsorbents are prepared with inorganic nanoparticles or single-molecule antibiotics,… read more here.
