“…For example, copper NMs and its oxides are used as an alternative additive in antifouling paints since in a nano-particulate form, copper dissolution can be very slow, releasing ions into the environment over extended periods of time (Cao et al, 2011). Some of these NMs may be released from antifouling paint matrices into the aquatic environment, where they can exert their toxic effects in non-target organisms (Rawat et al, 2010).…”

Developmental effects of two different copper oxide nanomaterials in sea urchin (Lytechinus pictus) embryos

Copper oxide nanomaterials (nano-CuOs) are widely used and can be inadvertently introduced into estuarine and marine environments. We analyzed the effects of different nano-CuOs (a synthesized and a less-pure commercial form), as well as ionic copper (CuSO 4 ) on embryo development in the white sea urchin, a well-known marine model. After 96 h of development with both nano-CuO exposures, we did not detect significant oxidative damage to proteins but did detect decreases in total antioxidant capacity. We show that the physicochemical characteristics of the two nano-CuOs play an essential role in their toxicities. Both nano-CuOs were internalized by embryos and their differential dissolution was the most important toxicological parameter. The synthesized nano-CuO showed greater toxicity (EC 50 ¼ 450 ppb of copper) and had increased dissolution (2.5% by weight over 96 h) as compared with the lesspure commercial nano-CuO (EC 50 ¼ 5395 ppb of copper, 0.73% dissolution by weight over 96 h). Copper caused specific developmental abnormalities in sea urchin embryos including disruption of the aboral-oral axis as a result in changes to the redox environment caused by dissolution of internalized nano-CuO. Abnormal skeleton formation also occurred.

“…The principal biocide component in most of the antifouling coatings used today is copper (Cu), sometimes zinc (Zn) compounds or organic boosters are also used, as well as combinations of different biocides (Cao et al, 2011;Guardiola et al, 2012). Although copper, the predominantly applied biocide today, results in less toxicity compared to TBT, it is still toxic to the non-target sea organisms, inhibiting photosynthesis and Krebs cycle enzymes, inducing oxidative stress and mutations, and altering reproductive abilities (Fitridge et al, 2012;references therein;Guardiola et al, 2012).…”

“…Biological antifouling methods are based either on the secretion of enzymes or metabolites (Cao et al, 2011), and there are many substances with antifouling properties isolated from marine microorganisms, invertebrates or plants (Acevedo et al, 2013;Qian et al, 2010). Furthermore, new physical methods are under development that aim to modify the surface properties (zeta potential, topography, and wettability) and that way alter the biofouling processes (Cao et al, 2011 and references therein).…”

“…Non-fouling materials that resist cell adhesion are very important in fundamental research of cell-biomaterial interactions and some material applications and have thus been extensively investigated during the last decade [1][2][3][4][5]. Natural biomacromolecules, such as bovine serum albumin (BSA), have also conventionally been used to block cell adhesion [6,7].…”

Bacteriorhodopsin is a well-known photoresponsive protein in the cell membrane of Halobacterium salinarum and exists in the patch called the purple membrane (PM). This letter reports, for the first time, its new function as a natural non-fouling substance for resisting cell adhesion. Mammalian cells such as murine preosteocytes MC3T3-E1 were seeded on the PM film. A significant resistance to cell adhesion on the film was found.bacteriorhodopsin, purple membrane, cell adhesion, non-fouling, biomaterials Citation:Zhao Y C, Ding J D.
