A biofilm-derived peptide as an underwater adhesive
Summary
Preprint proposing bacterial biofilms, rather than mussels or barnacles, as a model for glues that work underwater. A peptide derived from Vibrio cholerae biofilms adsorbs to many surfaces, bonds wet surfaces together and flocculates microspheres, and it can be produced in functional form in E. coli, opening the way to larger-scale production.
