For millions of years, barnacles and mussels have successfully adhered to wet rocks near tide-swept seashores. While the chemistry mechanics their underwater adhesives are being thoroughly investigated, an overlooked aspect marine organismal adhesion is ability remove underlying biofilms from prepare clean surfaces before deposition adhesive anchors. Herein, we demonstrate that nonionic, coacervating synthetic polymers mimic physicochemical features ∼99%
Modulating microbial motility and physiology can enhance the production of bacterial macromolecules small molecules. Herein, a platform water-soluble amphiphilic peptidomimetic polyurethanes is reported as means regulating surface behavior concomitant extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). It demonstrated that carboxyl (-COOH)-containing exhibited 17-fold 80-fold enhancements in
