GREEN INTELLIGENT MATERIALS: DEVELOPING NEW SURFACES WITH ANTI-BIOFILMS PROPERTIES Rozenn Trepos and Claire Hellio 16th ICMCF Conference June 2012 Seattle
Green Intelligent Materials (GIMs) : Presentation • Aim: to set up a trans-channel centre for the elaboration of green intelligent “smart” biomaterials • Duration : October 2010 – 2013
GIMs : Partners University of RouenPolymeres, Biopolymeres, Surfaces laboratory (PBS) , Dr L. Lebrun University of Portsmouth Dr C.Hellio The engineer school INSA of Rouen , Prof F.Burel CNRS, Umr 6270 DrT.Jouenne Biofilm Control Company , Dr T. Bernardi
GIMs : Aims • to prevent the growth of micro-organisms by using natural biocides or anti-biofilm molecules (polysaccharides and peptides produced by algae) • to screen new molecules able to inhibit biofilm formation • to share knowledge and complementary expertise of the partners to develop new support modification technologies
GIMs : Stage I Screening of activity University of Portsmouth
Fouling : Colonization Process and Costs Economic impacts: Increase fuel consumption, treatments, maintenance Environmental impacts: Additional greenhouse gases, alien species dissemination Larvae of macrofoulers • Spores of macroalgae • Protozoa • Bacteria • Diatoms Adhesion of organic particles TBT Banned in 2008 Need of new antifouling solution
Marine natural products extracted from macroalgae • In order to prevent colonization, many algae have developed chemical defences • Wide variety of chemically active metabolites • variety of activities ( anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory ….) • Sustainable resources Gelidium sp. Mastocarpus sp.
Choice of macroalgae species • Biodiversity • Availability of the biomass • Known to beunfouled
Marine natural products from Chlorophyceae : Ulvans • Green tide in Europe are becoming more frequent • More than 100 000 m3 of Ulva sp. collected in North Brittany in 2011 • Extract from Ulva sp : inhibitory effects on dinoflagellates (Jeong et al. 2000) and development of invertebrates (Johnson and welsh, 1985) • Ulvans are structural acid polysaccharides present in cell wall of Ulva sp. , theyrepresent 8-29% of the dry weight
Marine natural products from Chlorophyceae : Ulvans • Ulva compressa • Ulva clathrata • Ulvaarmoricana 1 1 7 Kingdom Protista Phylum Chlorophyta Order Ulvales Family Ulvaceae Class GenusUlva Chlorophyceae
Marine natural products from Phaephycae: Fucoidan and Polyphenol • Invasive species : chemicaldefensestrategy • Undariasp. and Sargassumsp.

Bioassays : inhibition of bacterial growth • 96 wells-microplates • 4 concentrations : 0.01, 0.1,1 and 10 µg/ml • 6 replicates • Solvent evaporation • Sterilization under UV • 8 strains of bacteria : • 100µl / well, incubation 48h at 24°C, measurement of OD620 nm and determination of Minimum Inhibition Concentration (MIC) (µg/ml)
Bioassays : inhibition of microalgal growth • 3 strains of microphytobenthic microalgae • Media F/2 (Guillard et al. 1962) • Constant light 140 µmol m-2 s-1 • T° 20° C
Bioassays : Inhibition of microalgal growth • Chlorophyll a extraction : • Filtration of 10 ml of microalgae suspension • Addition of methanol and extraction at 4°C in the dark • Fluorescence measurement : excitation 485 nm – emission 645 nm • Bioassay : • 100 µL microalgal suspension (0.1 mg[Chl a] L-1) • 4 concentrations : 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10 µg/ml • 6 replicates • 5 days incubation : 20 °C, constant light 140 µmol m-2 s-1 • Chlorophyll a extraction and measurement of fluorescence : excitation 485nm - emission 645 nm • Determination of MIC ( µg/ml)
Inhibition of bacterial growth, MIC (µg/ml) • All strains are inhibited by at least one product • U3 show inhibition activityatlow concentration against 3 of the vibriostrains • Inhibition againstv.aesturianus , a knownpathogen for oyster : possible application in aquaculture • 4 ulvans and 1 fucoidaninhibitV.harveyi, responsible for a diseasethat affects commerciallyfarmedpenaidprawns : possible application in aquaculture
Inhibition of bacterial growth, MIC ( µg/ml) • inhibition at low concentration against Pseudoalteromonas elyakovii • U1-6 show growth inhibition activity against 4 of the strain tested • Differents activities for ulvans extracted from U.armoricana
Inhibition of microalgal growth, MIC (µg/ml) • All strains are inhibited by at least one of the products • Difference in term of activity on ulvans extracted from U.armoricana • Inhibition activity at low concentration
Synthesis and Selection of the most promising candidates • 7 compounds show inhibition activies at low concentration against marine bacteria and microalgae • Ulvans from U.compressa looks particularly promising
Perspectives : Bioassays Larvae of macrofoulers • Spores of macroalgae • Protozoa • Bacteria • Diatoms Adhesion of organic particles Bioassays : 7 compounds have shown promising results against primary colonizers,we plan to do more bioassays against key organisms : spores of macroalgae ( secondary colonizers) , fungi ( involve in wood degradation ) and invertebrates who are heavily involved in fouling of surfaces .
Perspectives • Immobilisation of the mostpromising compounds on TiO2 • Inclusion of the mostpromising compound in hydrogel • Field assays
