Role of molecular properties of ulvans on their ability to elaborate antiadhesive surfaces
Virginie Gadenne, Laurent Lebrun, Thierry Jouenne, Pascal Thebault Abstract Antiadhesive properties of polysaccharides (such ulvans) once immobilized on a surface are described in the literature but the parameters governing their antifouling properties are not yet well identified. In the present study, the relationship between molecular parameters of ulvans and the inhibition of bacterial adhesion was […]
Antiadhesive activity of ulvan polysaccharides covalently immobilized onto titanium surface
Virginie Gadenne, Laurent Lebrun, Thierry Jouenne, Pascal Thebault. Abstract Bacterial adhesion leading to biofilm formation on the surface of implants is responsible for pathogenesis infections. One promising strategy to reduce the risk of infection consists of modifying implant surfaces by antibacterial coating. In the present study, the ability of ulvan, a non biocidal algal polysaccharide, […]
