Our main objectives are to decipher the relative influence of parameters that shape microbial biofilm communities and their biochemical production, but also to detect associated functions as the resistome or polymer biodegradation. Biofilm communities are usually described along with seawater parameters (temperature, salinity, nutrients, metallic and organic pollutants, hydrodynamics, …) and surface characteristics (wettability, rugosity, smoothness, texturation, chemical nature of (…)

Presentation
Due to the REACH regulation (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and restriction of CHemicals), new environmentally friendly and non-toxic antifouling strategies are being studied. One of the approaches is to find active molecules which will replace biocides that are currently on the market, with those that can be formulated in paints dedicated to ship hulls.
The success of this strategy requires a good understanding of the mechanisms used by marine microorganisms to (…)
