Abstract
Copper oxide nanosheets (CuO NSs) have been successfully obtained by exploiting an effective one-step approach of sugar-blowing method followed by calcination. The nanosheets were characterized by several techniques like X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Impressively, CuO NSs display haloperoxidase (HPO) like catalytic activity which catalyses the oxidation of chloride ions by H2O2 giving rise to reactive chlorine species (RCS). A sensitive and selective colorimetric sensor was then demonstrated via the oxidation of chromogenic substrate 3,3',5,5'- tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) by the novel nanoenzyme CuO NSs through the generation of RCS for H2O2 and glucose detection with limit of detection of 109 nM and 21 nM in the linear ranges of 4.6 µM to 769 µM and 0.22 µM to 19.57 µM respectively. Additionally, the methodology is validated for the analysis of glucose in real samples.

Abstract
Chronic inflammation at diabetic wound sites results in the uncontrolled accumulation of pro-inflammatory factors and reactive oxygen species (ROS), which impedes cell proliferation and delays wound healing. To promote the healing of diabetic wounds, chitosan/gelatin hydrogels containing ceria nanoparticles (CNPs) of various sizes were created in the current study. CNPs' efficacy in removingO 2 • - , •OH, and H2O2 was demonstrated, and the scavenging ability of CNPs of varying sizes was compared. The in vitro experiments demonstrated that hydrogels containing CNPs could effectively protect cells from ROS-induced damage and facilitate mouse fibroblast migration. Furthermore, during the treatment of diabetic wounds in vivo, hydrogels containing CNPs exhibited anti-inflammatory activity and could reduce the expression of the pro-inflammatory factors TNF-α (above 30%), IL-6 (above 90%), and IL-1β (above 80%), and effectively promote wound closure (above 80%) by inducing re-epithelialization, collagen deposition, and angiogenesis. In addition, the biological properties and therapeutic effects of hydrogels containing CNPs of various sizes were compared and discussed. The finding revealed that hydrogels with 4 nm CNPs exhibited more significant biological properties and had implications for diabetic wound treatment.

Abstract
Iron phosphide/carbon (FeP/C) serving as electrocatalysts exhibit excellent activity in oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) process. H2O2 catalyzed by peroxidase (POD) is similar to the formation of new electron transfer channels and the optimization of adsorption of oxygen-containing intermediates or desorption of products in ORR process. However, it is still a challenge to discover FeP/C with enhanced POD-like catalytic activity in the electrocatalytic database for biocatalysis. The discovery of FeP/carbon dots (FeP/CDs) nanozymes driven by electrocatalytic activity for enhanced POD-like ability is demonstrated. FeP/CDs derived from CDs-Fe3+ chelates show enhanced POD-like catalytic and antibacterial activity. FeP/CDs exhibit enhanced POD-like activities with a specific activity of 31.1 U mg-1 that is double higher than that of FeP. The antibacterial ability of FeP/CDs nanozymes with enhanced POD-like activity is 98.1%. The antibacterial rate of FeP/CDs nanozymes (250 µg mL-1) increased by 5%, 15%, and 36% compared with FeP, Fe2O3/CDs, and Cu3P/CDs nanozymes, respectively. FeP/CDs nanozymes will attract more efforts to discover or screen transition metal phosphide/C nanozymes with enhanced POD-like catalytic activity for biocatalysis in the electrocatalytic database.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), the ability of bacterial species to develop resistance against exposed antibiotics, has gained immense global attention in the past few years. Bacterial infections are serious health concerns affecting millions of people annually worldwide. Therefore, developing novel antibacterial agents that are highly effective and avoid resistance development is imperative. Among various strategies, recent developments in nanozyme technology have shown promising results as antibacterials in several antibiotic-sensitive and resistant bacterial species. Nanozymes offer several advantages over corresponding natural enzymes, such as inexpensive, stable, multifunctional, tunable catalytic properties, etc. Although the use of nanozymes as antibacterial agents has provided promising results, the specific biomolecule-conjugated nanozymes have shown further improvement in catalytic performance and associated antibacterial efficacy. The exclusive design of functional nanozymes with theranostic potential is found to simultaneously inhibit the growth and image of AMR bacterial species. This review comprehensively summarizes the history of nanozymes, their classification, biomolecules conjugated nanozyme, and their mechanism of enzyme-mimetic activity and associated antibacterial activity in antibiotic-sensitive and resistant species. The futureneeds to effectively engineer the existing or new nanozymes to curb AMR have also been discussed.

Abstract
Nanocatalytic medicine, which aims to accurately target and effectively treat tumors through intratumoral in situ catalytic reactions triggered by tumor-specific environments or markers, is an emerging technology. However, the relative lack of catalytic activity of nanoenzymes in the tumor microenvironment (TME) has hampered their use in biomedical applications. Therefore, it is crucial to develop a highly sensitive probe that specifically responds to the TME or disease markers in the TME for precision diagnosis and treatment of diseases. In this work, a chiral photoacoustic (PA) nanoprobe (D/L-Ce@MoO3) based on the H2O2-catalyzed TME activation reaction was constructed in a one-step method using D-cysteine (D-Cys) or L-cysteine (L-Cys), polymolybdate, and cerium nitrate as raw materials. The designed and synthesized D/L-Ce@MoO3 chiral nanoprobe can perform in situ, non-invasive, and precise imaging of pharmacological acute liver injury. In vivo and in vitro experiments have shown that the D/L-Ce@MoO3 probe had chiral properties, the CD signal decreased upon reaction with H2O2, and the absorption and PA signals increased with increasing H2O2 concentration. This is because of the catalytic reaction between Ce ions doped in the nanoenzyme and the high expression of H2O2 caused by drug-induced liver injury to produce ·OH, which has a strong oxidizing property to kill tumor cells and destroy the Mo-S bond in the probe, thus converting the chiral probe into an achiral polyoxometalate (POM) with PA signal.

Abstract
Conventional bone scaffolds, which are mainly ascribed to highly active osteoclasts and an inflammatory microenvironment with high levels of reactive oxygen species and pro-inflammatory factors, barely satisfy osteoporotic defect repair. Herein, multifunctional self-assembled supramolecular fiber hydrogels (Ce-Aln gel) consisting of alendronate (Aln) and cerium (Ce) ions were constructed for osteoporotic bone defect repair. Based on the reversible interaction and polyvalent cerium ions, the Ce-Aln gel, which was mainly composed of ionic coordination and hydrogen bonds, displayed good injectability and autocatalytic amplification of the antioxidant effect. In vitro studies showed that the Ce-Aln gel effectively maintained the biological function of osteoblasts by regulating redox homeostasis and improved the inflammatory microenvironment to enhance the inhibitory effect on osteoclasts. Ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing further revealed significant downregulation of various metabolic pathways, including apoptosis signaling, hypoxia metabolism and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) signaling via the nuclear factor kappa-B pathway after treatment with the Ce-Aln gel. In vivo experiments showed that the clinical drug-based Ce-Aln gel effectively promoted the tissue repair of osteoporotic bone defects by improving inflammation and inhibiting osteoclast formation at the defect. Notably, in vivo systemic osteoporosis was significantly ameliorated, highlighting the strong potential of clinical translation for precise therapy of bone defects.

Abstract
Defective bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) nanosheets, an artificial nanozyme mimicking haloperoxidase activity (hPOD), show promise as eco-friendly, bactericidal, and antimicrofouling materials by enhancing cytotoxic hypohalous acid production from halides and H2O2. Microscopic and spectroscopic characterization reveals that controlled NaOH (upto X = 250 µL) etching of the nearly inactive non-transition metal chalcogenide Bi2Te3 nanosheets creates controlled defects (d), such as Bi3+species, in d-Bi2Te3-X that induces enhanced hPOD activity. d-Bi2Te3-250 exhibits approximately eight-fold improved hPOD than the as-grown Bi2Te3 nanosheets. The antibacterial activity of d-Bi2Te3-250 nanozymes, studied by bacterial viability, show 1, and 45% viability for Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, respectively, prevalent in marine environments. The hPOD mechanism is confirmed using scavengers, implicating HOBr and singlet oxygen for the effect. The antimicrofouling property of the d-Bi2Te3-250 nanozyme has been studied on Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm in a lab setting by multiple assays, and also on titanium (Ti) plates coated with the nanozyme mixed commercial paint, exposed to seawater in a real setting. All studies, including direct microscopic evidence, exhibit inhibition of microfouling, up to ≈73%, in the presence of nanozymes. This approach showcases that defect engineering can induce antibacterial, and antimicrofouling activity in non-transition metal chalcogenides, offering an inexpensive alternative to noble metals.

Abstract
Ceria (CeO2) nanoparticles with haloperoxidase (HPO)-like activity have gained attention as a biologically benign antifoulant. 3,4-Dihydroxy-l-phenylalanine (DOPA), a main composition in mussel foot proteins, plays a crucial role in the biofouling process. However, the impact on the HPO-like activity and antifouling performance of CeO2 nanoparticles when DOPA molecules adsorb on them remains unexplored. This interesting question warrants investigation, particularly considering that it may occur in an actual marine environment. Herein, the interaction between DOPA and CeO2 is explored. Despite the higher Ce3+ fractions and the lower band gap energies due to the electron transfer from DOPA to the CeO2 surface, DOPA still had a slightly negative effect on the HPO-like activity of CeO2 since they decreased the exposed Ce3+ sites. The DOPA-CeO2 nanocomposites with HPO-like activities could kill bacteria and trigger quorum-sensing signaling quenching, achieving a biofilm inhibition performance. Amazingly, 0.1% DOPA-CeO2 nanocomposite exhibited higher antibacterial activity and better biofilm suppression activities due to its HPO-like activity and positive zeta potential. The remarkable results demonstrated that DOPA, as a participant in the biofouling process, could enhance the antibacterial activity and antifouling performance of CeO2 nanoparticles at an appropriate concentration.

Abstract
It is of great importance to endow personal protective equipments with bactericidal property combating against infected pathogens. Nanozyme that can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) in an enzyme-catalytic manner is regarded as a novel and promising nanobactericide. But until now, very rare of them is designed specifically for personal protective equipments. In this study, a multinanozyme of manganese oxide supported on Ce-containing MOF (CeBTC) is constructed with post-engineering via a quasi-metal-organic framework (MOF) strategy (denoted as MnOx/q-CeBTC). The strategy enables a full exposure of the metal cluster nodes, introduction of new active Mn─O─Ce bonds and strengthens interaction between the metal nodes and the guest oxide. As an advanced multinanozyme, the MnOx/q-CeBTC exhibits excellent multiple enzymatic activities at low temperature, and enables abundant and self-cascade ROS generation without H2O2 addition. This empowers it with high efficiency in bacteria killing, which is also reflected when incorporated into face mask to combat against pathogen invasion even at low temperature. The results achieved in this work provide guidance for rational design of effective bactericide based on nanozyme and broaden their application in personal protective equipment and other fields.

Abstract
During the transportation and storage of food, foodborne spoilage caused by bacterial and biofilm infection is prone to occur, leading to issues such as short shelf life, economic loss, and sensory quality instability. Therefore, the development of novel and efficient antibacterial agents capable of efficiently inhibiting bacteria throughout various stages of food processing, transportation, and storage is strongly recommended by researchers. The emergence of nanozymes is considered to be an effective candidate for inhibiting foodborne bacteria agents in the food industry. As potent antibacterial agents, nanozymes have the advantages of low cost, high stability, strong broad-spectrum antibacterial ability, and biocompatibility. Herein, we aim to summarize the classification status of various nanozymes. Furthermore, the general catalytic bacteriostatic mechanism of nanozymes against intracellular bacteria, planktonic bacteria, and biofilm activities are highlighted, mainly concerning the destruction of cell walls and/or membranes, reactive oxygen species regulation, HOBr/Cl generation, damage of intracellular components, and so forth. In particular, the review focuses on the pivotal role of nanozymes as antibacterial agents and delivery vehicles in the fields of food preservation applications. We look forward to the future prospects, especially in the field of food preservation, to promote broader applications based on antimicrobial nanozymes.

The potential use of nanozymes as an antibacterial agents in oral infection, periodontitis, and peri-implantitis. J Nanobiotechnology 2024; 22:207. [PMID: 38664778 PMCID: PMC11044492 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-024-02472-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2024] [Accepted: 04/07/2024] [Indexed: 04/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Several studies suggest that oral pathogenic biofilms cause persistent oral infections. Among these is periodontitis, a prevalent condition brought on by plaque biofilm. It can even result in tooth loss. Furthermore, the accumulation of germs around a dental implant may lead to peri-implantitis, which damages the surrounding bone and gum tissue. Furthermore, bacterial biofilm contamination on the implant causes soft tissue irritation and adjacent bone resorption, severely compromising dental health. On decontaminated implant surfaces, however, re-osseointegration cannot be induced by standard biofilm removal techniques such as mechanical cleaning and antiseptic treatment. A family of nanoparticles known as nanozymes (NZs) comprise highly catalytically active multivalent metal components. The most often employed NZs with antibacterial activity are those that have peroxidase (POD) activity, among other types of NZs. Since NZs are less expensive, more easily produced, and more stable than natural enzymes, they hold great promise for use in various applications, including treating microbial infections. NZs have significantly contributed to studying implant success rates and periodontal health maintenance in periodontics and implantology. An extensive analysis of the research on various NZs and their applications in managing oral health conditions, including dental caries, dental pulp disorders, oral ulcers, peri-implantitis, and bacterial infections of the mouth. To combat bacteria, this review concentrates on NZs that imitate the activity of enzymes in implantology and periodontology. With a view to the future, there are several ways that NZs might be used to treat dental disorders antibacterially.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024:e2401032.

Abstract
CeO2, particularly in the shape of rod, has recently gained considerable attention for its ability to mimic peroxidase (POD) and haloperoxidase (HPO). However, this multi-enzyme activities unavoidably compete for H2O2 affecting its performance in relevant applications. The lack of consensus on facet distribution in rod-shaped CeO2 further complicates the establishment of structure-activity correlations, presenting challenges for progress in the field. In this study, the HPO-like activity of rod-shaped CeO2 is successfully enhanced while maintaining its POD-like activity through a facile post-calcination method. By studying the spatial distribution of these two activities and their exclusive H2O2 activation pathways on CeO2 surfaces, this study finds that the increased HPO-like activity originated from the newly exposed (111) surface at the tip of the shortened rods after calcination, while the unchanged POD-like activity is attributed to the retained (110) surface in their lateral area. These findings not only address facet distribution discrepancies commonly reported in the literature for rod-shaped CeO2 but also offer a simple approach to enhance its antibacterial performance. This work is expected to provide atomic insights into catalytic correlations and guide the design of nanozymes with improved activity and reaction specificity.

Abstract
Biofilm contamination presents a significant threat to public health, the food industry, and aquatic/marine-related applications. In recent decades, although various methods have emerged to combat biofilm contamination, the intricate and persistent nature of biofilms makes complete eradication challenging. Therefore, innovative alternative solutions are imperative for addressing biofilm formation. Instead of solely focusing on the eradication of mature biofilms, strategically advantageous measures involve the delay or prevention of biofilm formation on surfaces. Quorum sensing, a communication system enabling bacteria to coordinate their behavior based on population density, plays a pivotal role in biofilm formation for numerous microbial species. Materials possessing antibiofilm properties that target quorum sensing have gained considerable attention for their potential to prevent biofilm formation. This Review consolidates recent research progress on the utilization of materials with antiquorum sensing properties for combating biofilm formation. These materials can be categorized into three distinct types: (i) antibiofilm nanomaterials, (ii) antibiofilm surfaces, and (iii) antibiofilm hydrogels with antiquorum sensing capabilities. Finally, the Review concludes with a brief discussion of current challenges and outlines potential avenues for future research.

Abstract
Biofilms adhering to different surfaces have significant negative impacts in various fields. Cerium oxide nanoparticles can serve as mimics of haloperoxidase for biological biofilm inhibition applications. The regulation of the exposed facet of CeO2 nanoparticles influences their efficiency in various catalytic processes. However, there is still a lack of systematic studies on the facet-dependent haloperoxidase-like activity of CeO2. In the present study, the facet-dependent haloperoxidase activities and antibiofilm performance of CeO2 nanoparticles were elucidated through experiment analysis and density function theory calculation. The as-prepared CeO2 nanoparticles inhibited bacterial survival and catalyzed the oxidative bromination of quorum sensing signaling molecules, achieving biofilm inhibition performance. The antibacterial and biofilm formation suppression abilities were consistent with their haloperoxidase activities. The {111}- and {110}-facet CeO2 nanopolyhedra, as well as the {110}- and {100}-facet CeO2 nanorods, which had higher haloperoxidase activity showed better antibiofilm performance than the {100}-facet CeO2 cubes. The present findings provide a comprehensive understanding of the facet-dependent haloperoxidase-like activity of CeO2. Furthermore, engineering CeO2 morphologies with different crystal facets may represent a novel method for significantly adjusting their haloperoxidase-like activity.

Abstract
The growing interest in nanomedicine over the last 20 years has carved out a research field called "nanocatalytic therapy," where catalytic reactions mediated by nanomaterials are employed to intervene in disease-critical biomolecular processes. Among many kinds of catalytic/enzyme-mimetic nanomaterials investigated thus far, ceria nanoparticles stand out from others owing to their unique scavenging properties against biologically noxious free radicals, including reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS), by exerting enzyme mimicry and nonenzymatic activities. Much effort has been made to utilize ceria nanoparticles as self-regenerating antioxidative and anti-inflammatory agents for various kinds of diseases, given the detrimental effects of ROS and RNS therein that need alleviation. In this context, this review is intended to provide an overview as to what makes ceria nanoparticles merit attention in disease therapy. The introductory part describes the characteristics of ceria nanoparticles as an oxygen-deficient metal oxide. The pathophysiological roles of ROS and RNS are then presented, as well as their scavenging mechanisms by ceria nanoparticles. Representative examples of recent ceria-nanoparticle-based therapeutics are summarized by categorization into organ and disease types, followed by the discussion on the remaining challenges and future research directions.

Abstract
Nanozymes with oxidase or peroxidase-mimicking activity have emerged as a promising alternative for disinfecting resistant pathogens. However, further research and clinical applications of nanozymes are hampered by their low in vivo biosafety and biocompatibility. In this study, inulin-confined gold nanoparticles (IN@AuNP) are synthesized as an antibacterial agent via a straightforward in situ reduction of Au3+ ions by the hydroxyl groups in inulin. The IN@AuNP exhibits both peroxidase-mimicking and oxidase-mimicking catalytic activities, of which the maximum reaction velocity (Vmax) for H2O2 is 2.66 times higher than that of horseradish peroxidase. IN@AuNP can catalyze the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), resulting in effective antibacterial behavior against both Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) and Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) bacteria. Abundant hydroxyl groups retained in inulin endow the nanozyme with high adhesion to bacteria, reducing the distance between the captured bacteria and ROS, achieving an antibacterial ratio of 100 % within 1 h. Importantly, due to the natural biosafety and non-absorption of the dietary fiber inulin, as well as the inability of inulin-trapped AuNP to diffuse, the IN@AuNP exhibits high biosafety and biocompatibility under physiological conditions. This work is expected to open a new avenue for nanozymes with great clinical application value.

Abstract
Nanozymes, nanomaterials exhibiting enzyme-like activities, have emerged as a prominent interdisciplinary field over the past decade. To date, over 1200 different nanomaterials have been identified as nanozymes, covering four catalytic categories: oxidoreductases, hydrolases, isomerases, and lyases. Catalytic activity and specificity are two pivotal benchmarks for evaluating enzymatic performance. Despite substantial progress being made in quantifying and optimizing the catalytic activity of nanozymes, there is still a lack of in-depth research on the catalytic specificity of nanozymes, preventing the formation of consensual knowledge and impeding a more refined and systematic classification of nanozymes. Recently, debates have emerged regarding whether nanozymes could possess catalytic specificity similar to that of enzymes. This Perspective discusses the specificity of nanozymes by referring to the catalytic specificity of enzymes, highlights the specificity gap between nanozymes and enzymes, and concludes by offering our perspective on future research on the specificity of nanozymes.

Abstract
Haloperoxidases represent an important class of enzymes that nature adopts as a defense mechanism to combat the colonial buildup of microorganisms on surfaces, commonly known as biofouling. Subsequently, there has been tremendous focus on the development of artificial haloperoxidase mimics that can catalyze the oxidation of X- (halide ion) in the presence of H2O2 to form HOX. The natural intermediate HOX disrupts the bacterial quorum sensing, thus preventing biofilm formation. Herein, we report a simple method for the formation of supramolecular hydrogels through the self-assembly of Keggin-structured polyoxometalates, phosphotungstic acid, and silicotungstic acid with the small biomolecule guanosine monophosphate (GMP) in an aqueous medium. The polyoxometalate-GMP hydrogels that contained highly entangled nanofibers were mechanically robust and showed thixotropic properties. The gelation of the polyoxometalates with GMP not only rendered manifold enhancement in biocompatibility but also the fibril network in the hydrogel provided high water wettability and the polyoxometalates acted as an efficient haloperoxidase mimic to trigger oxidative iodination, as demonstrated by a haloperoxidase assay. The antifouling activity of the phosphotungstic acid-GMP hydrogel was demonstrated against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, which showed enhanced antibacterial performance of the hydrogel as compared to the polyoxometalate alone. We envision that the polyoxometalate-GMP hydrogels may facilitate mechanically robust coatings in a simple pathway that can be useful for antifouling applications.

Abstract
Biofouling causes adverse issues in underwater structures including ship hulls, aquaculture cages, fishnets, petroleum pipelines, sensors, and other equipment. Marine constructions and vessels frequently are using coatings with antifouling properties. During the previous ten years, several alternative strategies have been used to combat the biofilm and biofouling that have developed on different abiotic or biotic surfaces. Enzymes have frequently been suggested as a cost-effective, substitute, eco-friendly, for conventional antifouling and antibiofilm substances. The destruction of sticky biopolymers, biofilm matrix disorder, bacterial signal interference, and the creation of biocide or inhibitors are among the catalytic reactions of enzymes that really can successfully prevent the formation of biofilms. In this review we presented enzymes that have antifouling and antibiofilm properties in the marine environment like α-amylase, protease, lysozymes, glycoside hydrolase, aminopeptidases, oxidase, haloperoxidase and lipases. We also overviewed the function, benefits and challenges of enzymes in removing biofouling. The reports suggest enzymes are good candidates for marine environment. According to the findings of a review of studies in this field, none of the enzymes were able to inhibit the development of biofilm by a site marine microbial community when used alone and we suggest using other enzymes or a mixture of enzymes for antifouling and antibiofilm purposes in the sea environment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute lung injury (ALI) is a critical inflammatory response syndrome that rapidly develops into acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Currently, no effective therapeutic modalities are available for patients with ALI/ARDS. According to recent studies, inhibiting both the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as early as possible may be a promising therapy for ALI. RESULTS In this study, a ROS-responsive nano-delivery system based on oxidation-sensitive chitosan (Ox-CS) was fabricated for the simultaneous delivery of Ce NPs and RT. The in vitro experiments have shown that the Ox-CS/Ceria-Resatorvid nanoparticles (Ox-CS/CeRT NPs) were rapidly and efficiently internalised by inflammatory endothelial cells. Biological evaluations validated the significant attenuation of ROS-induced oxidative stress and cell apoptosis by Ox-CS/CeRT NPs, while maintaining mitochondrial function. Additionally, Ox-CS/CeRT NPs effectively inhibited the release of pro-inflammatory factors. After intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration, Ox-CS/CeRT NPs passively targeted the lungs of LPS-induced inflamed mice and released the drug activated by the high ROS levels in inflammatory tissues. Finally, Ox-CS/CeRT NPs significantly alleviated LPS-induced lung injury through inhibiting both oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory cytokine expression. CONCLUSIONS The created Ox-CS/CeRT NPs could act as a prospective nano-delivery system for a combination of anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant therapy of ALI.

Abstract
The halogenation of quorum sensing molecules (QSMs) is known to be catalyzed by enzymes such as haloperoxidase (HPO) as well as cerium dioxide nanocrystals (NC), which mimic enzymes. Those enzymes and mimics can influence biological processes such as biofilm formation, where bacteria use QSMs for the "chemical" communication between each other and the coordination of surface colonization. However, not much is known about the degradation behavior of a broad spectrum of QSMs, especially for HPO and its mimics. Therefore, in this study, the degradation of three QSMs with different molecule moieties was elucidated. For this purpose, different batch experiments were carried out with HPOs, NCs and free active bromine (FAB). For N-β-ketocaproyl-homoserine lactone (3-Oxo-C6-AHL), N-cis-tetradec-9Z-enoyl-homoserine lactone (C14:1-AHL) and 2-heptyl-4-quinolone (HHQ) a fast degradation and moiety-specific transformations were observed. The HPO vanadium bromoperoxidase as well as cerium dioxide NCs catalyzed the formation of the same brominated transformation products (TPs). Since the same TPs are formed in batch experiments with FAB it is very likely that FAB is playing a major role in the catalytical reaction mechanism leading to the transformation of QSMs. In this study in total 17 TPs could be identified in different levels of confidence and the catalytic degradation processes for two QS groups (unsaturated AHLs and alkyl quinolones) with cerium dioxide NCs and vanadium bromoperoxidase were expanded.

Abstract
To fight against antibacterial-resistant bacteria-induced infections, the development of highly efficient antibacterial agents with a low risk of inducing resistance is exceedingly urgent. Nanozymes can rapidly kill bacteria with high efficiency by generating reactive oxygen species via enzyme-mimetic catalytic reactions, making them promising alternatives to antibiotics for antibacterial applications. However, insufficient catalytic activity greatly limits the development of nanozymes to eliminate bacterial infection. By increasing atom utilization to the maximum, single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) with an atomical dispersion of active metal sites manifest superior enzyme-like activities and have achieved great results in antibacterial applications in recent years. In this review, the latest advances in antibacterial SAzymes are summarized, with specific attention to the action mechanism involved in antibacterial applications covering wound disinfection, osteomyelitis treatment, and marine antibiofouling. The remaining challenges and further perspectives of SAzymes for practical antibacterial applications are also discussed.

Abstract
Because of the multi-pathway antibacterial mechanisms of nanomaterials, they have received widespread attention in wound therapy. However, owing to the complexities of bacterial responses toward nanomaterials, antibacterial molecular mechanisms remain unclear, making it difficult to rationally design highly efficient antibacterial nanomaterials. Fortunately, molecular dynamics simulations and omics techniques have been used as effective methods to further investigate the action targets of nanomaterials. Therefore, the review comprehensively analyzes the antibacterial mechanisms of nanomaterials from the morphology-dependent antibacterial activity and physicochemical/optical properties-dependent antibacterial activity, which provided guidance for constructing excellently efficient and broad-spectrum antibacterial nanomaterials for wound therapy. More importantly, the main molecular action targets of nanomaterials from the membranes, DNA, energy metabolism pathways, oxidative stress defense systems, ribosomes, and biofilms are elaborated in detail. Furthermore, nanomaterials used in wound therapy are reviewed and discussed. Finally, future directions of nanomaterials from mechanisms to nanomedicine are further proposed.

Abstract
Benefiting from low costs, structural diversities, tunable catalytic activities, feasible modifications, and high stability compared to the natural enzymes, reactive oxygen nanobiocatalysts (RONBCs) have become dominant materials in catalyzing and mediating reactive oxygen species (ROS) for diverse biomedical and biological applications. Decoding the catalytic mechanism and structure-reactivity relationship of RONBCs is critical to guide their future developments. Here, this timely review comprehensively summarizes the recent breakthroughs and future trends in creating and decoding RONBCs. First, the fundamental classification, activity, detection method, and reaction mechanism for biocatalytic ROS generation and elimination have been systematically disclosed. Then, the merits, modulation strategies, structure evolutions, and state-of-art characterisation techniques for designing RONBCs have been briefly outlined. Thereafter, we thoroughly discuss different RONBCs based on the reported major material species, including metal compounds, carbon nanostructures, and organic networks. In particular, we offer particular insights into the coordination microenvironments, bond interactions, reaction pathways, and performance comparisons to disclose the structure-reactivity relationships and mechanisms. In the end, the future challenge and perspectives for RONBCs are also carefully summarised. We envision that this review will provide a comprehensive understanding and guidance for designing ROS-catalytic materials and stimulate the wide utilisation of RONBCs in diverse biomedical and biological applications.

Abstract
With the advantages of diverse structures, tunable enzymatic activity, and high stability, nanozymes are widely used in medicine, chemistry, food, environment, and other fields. As an alternative to traditional antibiotics, nanozymes attract more and more attention from the scientific researchers in recent years. Developing nanozymes-based antibacterial materials opens up a new avenue for the bacterial disinfection and sterilization. In this review, the classification of nanozymes and their antibacterial mechanisms are discussed. The surface and composition of nanozymes are critical for the antibacterial efficacy, which can be tailored to enhance both the bacterial binding and the antibacterial activity. On the one hand, the surface modification of nanozymes enables binding and targeting of bacteria that improves the antibacterial performance of nanozymes including the biochemical recognition, the surface charge, and the surface topography. On the other hand, the composition of nanozymes can be modulated to achieve enhanced antibacterial performance including the single nanozyme-mediated synergistic and multiple nanozymes-mediated cascade catalytic antibacterial applications. In addition, the current challenges and future prospects of tailoring nanozymes for antibacterial applications are discussed. This review can provide insights into the design of future nanozymes-based materials for the antibacterial treatments.

Abstract
Various applications lead to the requirement of nanozymes with either specific activity or multiple enzyme-like activities. To this end, intelligent nanozymes with freely switching specificity abilities hold great promise to adapt to complicated and changeable practical conditions. Herein, a nitrogen-doped carbon-supported copper single-atom nanozyme (named Cu SA/NC) with switchable specificity is reported. Atomically dispersed active sites endow Cu SA/NC with specific peroxidase-like activity at room temperature. Furthermore, the intrinsic photothermal conversion ability of Cu SA/NC enables the specificity switch by additional laser irradiation, where photothermal-induced temperature elevation triggers the expression of oxidase-like and catalase-like activity of Cu SA/NC. For further applications in practice, a pretreatment-and-sensing integration kit (PSIK) is constructed, where Cu SA/NC can successively achieve sample pretreatment and sensitive detection by switching from multi-activity mode to specific-activity mode. This study sets the foundation for nanozymes with switchable specificity and broadens the application scope in point-of-care testing.

Abstract
Nanozymes are promising alternatives to natural enzymes, but their use remains limited owing to poor specificity. For example, CeO2 activates H2O2 and displays peroxidase (POD)-like, catalase (CAT)-like, and haloperoxidase (HPO)-like activities. Since they unavoidably compete for H2O2, affecting its utilization in the target application, the precise manipulation of reaction specificity is thus imperative. Herein, we showed that one can simply achieve this by manipulating the H2O2 activation pathway on pristine CeO2 in well-defined shapes. This is because the coordination and electronic structures of Ce sites vary with CeO2 surfaces, wherein the (100) and (111) surfaces display nearly 100% specificity toward POD-/CAT-like and HPO-like activities, respectively. The antibacterial results suggest that the latter surface can well-utilize H2O2 to kill bacteria (cf., the former), which is promising for anti-biofouling applications. This work provides atomic insights into the synthesis of nanozymes with improved activity, reaction specificity, and H2O2 utilization.

Abstract
The slow healing of diabetic wounds has seriously affected human health. Meanwhile, the open wounds are susceptible to bacterial infection. Clinical therapeutic methods such as antibiotic therapy, insulin treatment, and surgical debridement have made great achievements in the treatment of diabetic wounds. However, drug-resistant bacteria will develop after long-term use of antibiotics, resulting in decreased efficacy. To improve the therapeutic effect, increasing drug concentration is a common strategy in clinical practice, but it also brings serious side effects. In addition, hyperglycemia control or surgical debridement can easily bring negative effects to patients, such as hypoglycemia or damage of normal tissue. Therefore, it is essential to develop novel therapeutic strategies to effectively promote diabetic wound healing. In recent years, nanozyme-based diabetic wound therapeutic systems have received extensive attention because they possess the advantages of nanomaterials and natural enzymes. For example, nanozymes have the advantages of a small size and a high surface area to volume ratio, which can enhance the tissue penetration of nanozymes and increase the reactive active sites. Moreover, compared with natural enzymes, nanozymes have more stable catalytic activity, lower production cost, and stronger operability. In this review, we first reviewed the basic characteristics of diabetic wounds and then elaborated on the catalytic mechanism and action principle of different types of nanozymes in diabetic wounds from three aspects: controlling bacterial infection, controlling hyperglycemia, and relieving inflammation. Finally, the challenges, prospects and future implementation of nanozymes for diabetic wound healing are outlined.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has become one of the most extensive fields of research. Nanoparticles (NPs) form the base for nanotechnology. Recently, nanomaterials (NMs) are widely used due to flexible chemical, biological, and physical characteristics with improved efficacy in comparison to bulk counterparts. The significance of each class of NMs is enhanced by identifying their properties. Day by day, there is an emergence of various applications of NMs, but the toxic effects associated with them cannot be avoided. NMs demonstrate therapeutic abilities by enhancing the drug delivery system, diagnosis, and therapeutic effects of numerous agents, but determining the benefits of NMs over other clinical applications (disease-specific) or substances is an ongoing investigation. This review is aimed at defining NMs and NPs and their types, synthesis, and pharmaceutical, biomedical, and clinical applications.

Abstract
Designing the size, morphology and interfacial charge of catalyst particles at the nanometer scale can enhance their performance. We demonstrate this with nanoceria which is a functional mimic of haloperoxidases, a group of enzymes that halogenates organic substrates in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. These reactions in aqueous solution require the presence of H2O2. We demonstrate in situ generation of H2O2 from a CaO2 reservoir in polyether sulfone (PES) and poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) polymer beads, which circumvents the external addition of H2O2 and expands the scope of applications for haloperoxidase reactions. The catalytic activity of nanoceria was enhanced significantly by Bi3+ substitution. Bi-doped mesoporous ceria nanoparticles with tunable surface properties were prepared by changing the reaction time. Increasing reaction time increases the surface area SBET of the mesoporous Bi0.2Ce0.8O1.9 nanoparticles and the Ce3+/Ce4+ ratio, which is associated with the ζ-potential. In this way, the catalytic activity of nanoceria could be tuned in a straightforward manner. H2O2 required for the reaction was released steadily over a long period of time from a CaO2 storage depot incorporated in polyether sulfone (PES) and poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) beads together with Bi0.2Ce0.8O1.9 particles, which may be used as precision fillers and templates for biological applications. The spheres are prepared as a dry powder with no surface functionalization or coatings. They are inert, chemically stable, and safe for handling. The feasibility of this approach was demonstrated using a haloperoxidase assay.

Abstract
Natural enzymes possess several drawbacks which limits their application in industries, wastewater remediation and biomedical field. Therefore, in recent years researchers have developed enzyme mimicking nanomaterials and enzymatic hybrid nanoflower which are alternatives of enzyme. Nanozymes and organic inorganic hybrid nanoflower have been developed which mimics natural enzymes functionalities such as diverse enzyme mimicking activities, enhanced catalytic activities, low cost, ease of preparation, stability and biocompatibility. Nanozymes include metal and metal oxide nanoparticles mimicking oxidases, peroxidases, superoxide dismutase and catalases while enzymatic and non-enzymatic biomolecules were used for preparing hybrid nanoflower. In this review nanozymes and hybrid nanoflower have been compared in terms of physiochemical properties, common synthetic routes, mechanism of action, modification, green synthesis and application in the field of disease diagnosis, imaging, environmental remediation and disease treatment. We also address the current challenges facing nanozyme and hybrid nanoflower research and the possible way to fulfil their potential in future.

Abstract
An elaborate design of multimodal antibacterial agents has been revealed to be a promising strategy to address bacterial resistance, originating from the abuse of antibiotics. In this work, we have developed a positively charged and porous material, FePPOPHydantoin, as a disinfectant via introducing 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (Hydantoin) and porphyrin iron units into a polymer framework. The extended π conjugated networks of FePPOPHydantoin endowed the material with strong near-infrared (NIR) absorption, high density of surface catalytic active centers, superior stability, and reproducibility. FePPOPHydantoin exhibits high peroxidase mimetic and photo-Fenton activity, which can catalyze the biologically allowable maximum concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (100 μM) to produce a vast amount of hydroxyl radicals. Simultaneously, the effective electrostatic interaction between the positively charged FePPOPHydantoin and the negatively charged bacteria facilitates the binding of FePPOPHydantoin on the bacterial membrane, restricting bacteria within the destruction range of hydroxyl radicals and thus making the bacteria more vulnerable. Finally, further close contact between bacteria and Hydantoin units in FePPOPHydantoin gave the material an antibacterial efficiency of over 99.999%. Compared with chemical therapy, photo-Fenton therapy, or peroxidase catalytic therapy alone, FePPOPHydantoin had a noteworthy multi-amplified antibacterial efficiency. Furthermore, FePPOPHydantoin exhibited good biocompatibility and negligible cytotoxicity. The in vivo antibacterial therapy on the Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) infected mouse wound model clearly proved the effectiveness of FePPOPHydantoin for fighting bacterial infections. This work highlights opportunities for the design of nanozymes with enhanced bacteriostatic activity, providing a new avenue for the construction of novel antibiotics.

Abstract
Exploring new and high efficiency mimic enzymes is a vital and novel strategy for antibacterial application. Haloperoxidase-like enzymes have attracted wide attention thanks to their amazing catalytic property for hypohalous acid generation from hydrogen peroxide and halides. However, few materials have displayed halogenating catalytic performance until now. Herein, we synthesized N-doped C/CeO2 (N-C/CeO2) composite materials by a combination of the liquid and solid-state method. N-C/CeO2 can possess haloperoxidase-like catalytic activity by catalyzing the bromination of organic signaling compounds (phenol red) with H2O2 at a wide range of temperatures (20 °C to 55 °C), with a solution color changing from yellow to blue. Meanwhile, it exhibits high catalytic stability/recyclability in the catalytic reaction. The synthesized N-C/CeO2 composite can effectively catalyze the oxidation of Br- with H2O2 to produce HBrO without the presence of phenol red. The produced HBrO can resist typical marine bacteria like Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This study provides an efficient biomimetic haloperoxidase and a novel sustainable method for antibacterial application.

Abstract
Nanozymes are defined as nanomaterials exhibiting enzyme-like properties, and they possess both catalytic functions and nanomaterial's unique physicochemical characteristics. Due to the excellent stability and improved catalytic activity in comparison to natural enzymes, nanozymes have established a wide base for applications in environmental pollutants monitoring and remediation. Nanozymes have been applied in the detection of heavy metal ions, molecules, and organic compounds, both quantitatively and qualitatively. Additionally, within the natural environment, nanozymes can be employed for the degradation of organic and persistent pollutants such as antibiotics, phenols, and textile dyes. Further, the potential sphere of applications for nanozymes traverses from indoor air purification to anti-biofouling agents, and even they show promise in combatting pathogenic bacteria. However, nanozymes may have inherent toxicity, which can restrict their widespread utility. Thus, it is important to evaluate and monitor the interaction and transformation of nanozymes towards biosphere damage when employed within the natural environment in a cradle-to-grave manner, to assure their utmost safety. In this context, various studies have concluded that the green synthesis of nanozymes can efficiently overcome the toxicity limitations in real life applications, and nanozymes can be well utilized in the sensing and degradation of several toxic pollutants including metal ions, pesticides, and chemical warfare agents. In this seminal review, we have explored the great potential of nanozymes, whilst addressing a range of concerns, which have often been overlooked and currently restrict widespread applications and commercialization of nanozymes.

Abstract
Otitis media (OM) is the main reason for pediatric antibiotic prescriptions. The current treatment mandates a rigorous regimen of multidose antibiotics over 5-10 days. The systemic antibiotic exposure and often prematurely terminated treatment due to the challenge of drug administration to young patients are believed to breed antibiotic resistance. To address these challenges, we designed a local treatment that converted a metabolic product (H2O2) of an OM pathogen (Streptococcus pneumoniae) into a potent antiseptic (HOBr), a reaction catalyzed by locally administered vanadium pentoxide nanowires. The therapeutic, HOBr, was only synthesized in the presence of the pathogen, enabling on-demand generation of therapeutics for OM treatment. Hypohalous acids are broad-spectrum and have a long history in general disinfection applications without breeding substantial drug resistance. A single dose of the nanowire formulation eradicated OM in a standard chinchilla model in 7 days with no observable tissue toxicity or negative impact on hearing sensitivity.

Abstract
The large-scale application of nanozymes remains a significant challenge owing to their unsatisfactory catalytic performances. Featuring a unique electronic structure and coordination environment, single-atom nanozymes provide great opportunities to vividly mimic the specific metal catalytic center of natural enzymes and achieve superior enzyme-like activity. In this study, the spin state engineering of Fe single-atom nanozymes (FeNC) is employed to enhance their peroxidase-like activity. Pd nanoclusters (PdNC) are introduced into FeNC, whose electron-withdrawing properties rearrange the spin electron occupation in Fe(ii) of FeNC-PdNC from low spin to medium spin, facilitating the heterolysis of H2O2 and timely desorption of H2O. The spin-rearranged FeNC-PdNC exhibits greater H2O2 activation activity and rapid reaction kinetics compared to those of FeNC. As a proof of concept, FeNC-PdNC is used in the immunosorbent assay for the colorimetric detection of prostate-specific antigen and achieves an ultralow detection limit of 0.38 pg mL-1. Our spin-state engineering strategy provides a fundamental understanding of the catalytic mechanism of nanozymes and facilitates the design of advanced enzyme mimics.

Abstract
Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs), a commonly used antibacterial nanomaterial, exhibit broad-spectrum antibacterial activity to combat drug-resistant bacteria. However, the Ag NPs often causes a low availability and high toxicity to living bodies due to their easy aggregation and uncontrolled release of Ag+ in the bacterial microenvironment. Here, we report a porous metal-organic framework (MOF)-based Zr-2-amin-1,4-NH2-benzenedicarboxylate@Ag (denoted as UiO-66-NH2-Ag) nanocomposite using an in-situ immobilization strategy where Ag NPs were fixed on the UiO-66-NH2 for improving the dispersion and utilization of Ag NPs. As a result, the reduced use dose of Ag NPs largely improves the biosafety of the UiO-66-NH2-Ag. Meanwhile, after activation by the Ag NPs, the UiO-66-NH2-Ag can act as nanozyme with high peroxidase (POD)-like activity to efficiently catalyze the decomposition of H2O2 to extremely toxic hydroxyl radicals (·OH) in the bacterial microenvironment. Simultaneously, the high POD-like activity synergies with the controllable Ag+ release leads to enhanced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, facilitating the death of resistant bacteria. This synergistic antibacterial strategy enables the low concentration (12 μg/mL) of UiO-66-NH2-Ag to achieve highly efficient inactivation of ampicillin-resistant Escherichia coli (AmprE. coli) and endospore-forming Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis). In vivo results illustrate that the UiO-66-NH2-Ag nanozyme has a safe and accelerated bacteria-infected wound healing.

Abstract
Bacterial biofilm formation is a huge problem in industry and medicine. Therefore, the discovery of anti-biofilm agents may hold great promise. Biofilm formation is usually a consequence of bacterial cell-cell communication, a process called quorum sensing (QS). CeO2 nanocrystals (NCs) have been established as haloperoxidase (HPO) mimics and ecologically beneficial biofilm inhibitors. They were suggested to interfere with QS, a mechanism termed quorum quenching (QQ), but their molecular mechanism remained elusive. We show that CeO2 NCs are effective QQ agents, inactivating QS signals by bromination. Catalytic bromination of 3-oxo-C12-AHL a QS signaling compound used by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, was detected in the presence of CeO2 NCs, bromide ions, and hydrogen peroxide. Brominated acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs) no longer act as QS signals but were not detected in the bacterial cultures. Externally added brominated AHLs also disappeared in P. aeruginosa cultures within minutes of their addition, indicating that they are rapidly degraded by the bacteria. Moreover, we detected the catalytic bromination of 2-heptyl-1-hydroxyquinolin-4(1H)-one (HQNO), a multifunctional non-AHL QS signal from P. aeruginosa with antibacterial and algicidal properties controlling the expression of many virulence genes. Brominated HQNO was not degraded by the bacteria in vivo. The repression of the Pseudomonas quinolone signal (PQS) production and biofilm formation in P. aeruginosa through the catalytic formation of Br-HQNO on surfaces with coatings containing CeO2 enzyme mimics validates the non-toxic strategy for the development of anti-infectives.

Abstract
Increased occurrence of antimicrobial resistance leads to a huge burden on patients, the healthcare system, and society worldwide. Developing antimicrobial materials through doping rare-earth elements is a new strategy to overcome this challenge. To this end, we design antibacterial films containing CeO2-x-TiO2, xanthan gum, poly(acrylic acid), and hyaluronic acid. CeO2-x-TiO2 inks are additionally integrated into a hexagonal grid for prominent transparency. Such design yields not only an antibacterial efficacy of ∼100% toward Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli but also excellent antifog performance for 72 h in a 100% humidity atmosphere. Moreover, FluidFM is employed to understand the interaction in-depth between bacteria and materials. We further reveal that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are crucial for the bactericidal activity of E. coli through fluorescent spectroscopic analysis and SEM imaging. We meanwhile confirm that Ce3+ ions are involved in the stripping phosphate groups, damaging the cell membrane of S. aureus. Therefore, the hexagonal mesh and xanthan-gum cross-linking chains act as a reservoir for ROS and Ce3+ ions, realizing a long-lasting antibacterial function. We hence develop an antibacterial and antifog dual-functional material that has the potential for a broad application in display devices, medical devices, food packaging, and wearable electronics.

Abstract
Designing the shape and size of catalyst particles, and their interfacial charge, at the nanometer scale can radically change their performance. We demonstrate this with ceria nanoparticles. In aqueous media, nanoceria is a functional mimic of haloperoxidases, a group of enzymes that oxidize organic substrates, or of peroxidases that can degrade reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as H2O2 by oxidizing an organic substrate. We show that the chemical activity of CeO2-x nanoparticles in haloperoxidase- and peroxidase-like reactions scales with their active surface area, their surface charge, given by the ζ-potential, and their surface defects (via the Ce3+/Ce4+ ratio). Haloperoxidase-like reactions are controlled through the ζ-potential as they involve the adsorption of charged halide anions to the CeO2 surface, whereas peroxidase-like reactions without charged substrates are controlled through the specific surface area SBET. Mesoporous CeO2-x particles, with large surface areas, were prepared via template-free hydrothermal reactions and characterized by small-angle X-ray scattering. Surface area, ζ-potential and the Ce3+/Ce4+ ratio are controlled in a simple and predictable manner by the synthesis time of the hydrothermal reaction as demonstrated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, sorption and ζ-potential measurements. The surface area increased with synthesis time, whilst the Ce3+/Ce4+ ratio scales inversely with decreasing ζ-potential. In this way the catalytic activity of mesoporous CeO2-x particles could be tailored selectively for haloperoxidase- and peroxidase-like reactions. The ease of tuning the surface properties of mesoporous CeO2x particles by varying the synthesis time makes the synthesis a powerful general tool for the preparation of nanocatalysts according to individual needs.

Antifouling coatings can reduce algal growth while preserving coral settlement. Sci Rep 2022; 12:15935. [PMID: 36153418 PMCID: PMC9509345 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-19997-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2022] [Accepted: 09/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
In the early stages after larval settlement, coral spat can be rapidly overgrown and outcompeted by algae, reducing overall survival for coral reef replenishment and supply for restoration programs. Here we investigated three antifouling (AF) coatings for their ability to inhibit algal fouling on coral settlement plugs, a commonly-used restoration substrate. Plugs were either fully or partially coated with the AF coatings and incubated in mesocosm systems with partial recirculation for 37 days to track fouling succession. In addition, settlement of Acropora tenuis larvae was measured to determine whether AF coatings were a settlement deterrent. Uncoated control plugs became heavily fouled, yielding only 4–8% bare substrate on upper surfaces after 37 days. During this period, an encapsulated dichlorooctylisothiazolinone (DCOIT)-coating was most effective in reducing fouling, yielding 61–63% bare substrate. Antiadhesive and cerium dioxide (CeO2−x) nanoparticle (NP) coatings were less effective, yielding 11–17% and 2% bare substrate, respectively. Average settlement of A. tenuis larvae on the three types of AF-coated plugs did not statistically differ from settlement on uncoated controls. However, settlement on the NP-coating was generally the highest and was significantly higher than settlement found on the antiadhesive- and DCOIT-coating. Furthermore, on plugs only partially-covered with AF coatings, larval settlement on coated NP- areas was significantly higher than settlement on coated antiadhesive- and DCOIT-areas. These results demonstrate that AF coatings can reduce fouling intensity on biologically-relevant timescales while preserving robust levels of coral settlement. This represents an important step towards reducing fine-scale competition with benthic fouling organisms in coral breeding and propagation.
