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
Polymeric nanocomposites (PNC) have an outstanding potential for various applications as the integrated structure of the PNCs exhibits properties that none of its component materials individually possess. Moreover, it is possible to fabricate PNCs into desired shapes and sizes, which would enable controlling their properties, such as their surface area, magnetic behavior, optical properties, and catalytic activity. The low cost and light weight of PNCs have further contributed to their potential in various environmental and industrial applications. Stimuli-responsive nanocomposites are a subgroup of PNCs having a minimum of one promising chemical and physical property that may be controlled by or follow a stimulus response. Such outstanding properties and behaviors have extended the scope of application of these nanocomposites. The present review discusses the various methods of preparation available for PNCs, including in situ synthesis, solution mixing, melt blending, and electrospinning. In addition, various environmental and industrial applications of PNCs, including those in the fields of water treatment, electromagnetic shielding in aerospace applications, sensor devices, and food packaging, are outlined.

Abstract
The article presents a review of the literature on the use of polysaccharide bionanocomposites in the context of their potential use as food packaging materials. Composites of this type consist of at least two phases, of which the outer phase is a polysaccharide, and the inner phase (dispersed phase) is an enhancing agent with a particle size of 1-100 nm in at least one dimension. The literature review was carried out using data from the Web of Science database using VosViewer, free software for scientometric analysis. Source analysis concluded that polysaccharides such as chitosan, cellulose, and starch are widely used in food packaging applications, as are reinforcing agents such as silver nanoparticles and cellulose nanostructures (e.g., cellulose nanocrystals and nanocellulose). The addition of reinforcing agents improves the thermal and mechanical stability of the polysaccharide films and nanocomposites. Here we highlighted the nanocomposites containing silver nanoparticles, which exhibited antimicrobial properties. Finally, it can be concluded that polysaccharide-based nanocomposites have sufficient properties to be tested as food packaging materials in a wide spectrum of applications.

Abstract
![]()
Most macromolecular
antimicrobials are ionic and thus lack miscibility/compatibility
with nonionic substrate materials. In this context, nonionic hyperbranched
polyesters (HBPs) with indole or isatin functionality were rationally
designed, synthesized, and characterized. Antimicrobial disk diffusion
assay indicated that these HBPs showed significant antibacterial activity
against 8 human pathogenic bacteria compared to small molecules with
indole or isatin groups. According to DSC measurements, up to 20%
indole-based HBP is miscible with biodegradable polyesters (polyhydroxybutyrate
or polycaprolactone), which can be attributed to the favorable hydrogen
bonding between the N–H moiety of indole and the C=O
of polyesters. HBPs with isatin or methylindole were completely immiscible
with the same matrices. None of the HBPs leaked out from plastic matrix
after being immersed in water for 5 days. The incorporation of indole
into HBPs as well as small molecules facilitated their enzymatic degradation
with PETase from Ideonella sakaiensis, while isatin
had a complex impact. Molecular docking simulations of monomeric molecules
with PETase revealed different orientations of the molecules at the
active site due to the presence of indole or isatin groups, which
could be related to the observed different enzymatic degradation behavior.
Finally, biocompatibility analysis with a mammalian cell line showed
the negligible cytotoxic effect of the fabricated HBPs.

Abstract
Background/aim Quorum sensing (QS) is a chemical communication process that bacteria use to regulate virulence. Inhibition of QS (antiQS) overcomes the pathogenicity of bacteria. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been used as antimicrobials against pathogens, but have not been used against QS-mediated bacterial infection. Also, studies have been carried out on the inhibitory effects of propolis based structures on pathogen growth, but no studies have been found on their potential use as QS inhibitor. The present study aims to investigate the synthesis and characterization of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) reduced with propolis extract (P–AgNPs) and evaluation of their antimicrobial and, for the first time, antiQS activity. Materials and methods P–AgNPs were synthesized using with different volumes (1, 2.5 and 5 mL) of propolis extract (PE) by biological method via reduction of silver nitrate. Synthesized P–AgNPs were characterized in terms of hydrodynamic, chemical, morphological, physical, and antioxidant properties. Disc diffusion and flask incubation assays were used to evaluate the antimicrobial effect against Gram–negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis,Proteus vulgaris,Salmonella typhimurium, Enterobacter aerogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and Gram–positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans, Bacillus thuringiensis) and QS–regulated biofilm activity against biosensor strain Chromobacterium violaceum CV026. Results AgNPs were successfully synthesized by biological method via PE. The violacein pigment production based on the QS system was greatly inhibited by the P–AgNPs (inhibition zones: 16.22-21.48 mm and violacein inhibition: 63.16 ± 2.4-75.24 ± 3.5 %) without interfering with the growth of bacteria, which is the first report on the antiQS effect of P–AgNPs. Conclusion Our results suggest that P–AgNPs may be potentially used to inhibit bacterial physiological processes due to the signal molecules regulates important collective behavior of bacteria. The development of such nontoxic biomaterials may have great potential to evaluate for the new medicinal substance that inhibits the pathogenic biofilms.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2020; 565:11-22. [PMID: 31931295 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2020.01.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2019] [Revised: 12/30/2019] [Accepted: 01/04/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
To solve the problem of simultaneous adsorption of polar and weak polar mycotoxins, organo-montmorillonites modified by binary surfactant mixtures (NZMts), including polyoxyethylene ether (OP-10) and lauramidopropyl betaine (LAB-35), were synthesized for the simultaneous removal of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and zearalenone (ZER). The microstructure, interface and pore structure characteristics of NZMts were investigated through different technologies. The results show that the obtained NZMts modified by binary surfactant mixtures have different structural configurations, higher carbon content and stronger hydrophobicity compared with organo-montmorillonites modified by single surfactant. More importantly, the obtained adsorbents show significant improvements on the detoxification efficiency of both AFB1 and ZER. The pH has less effect on the adsorption of NZMts compared with the control samples modified by single surfactant, suggesting that NZMts are more stable in different pH environments. In addition, the adsorption mechanisms of NZMts to AFB1 and ZER were proposed based on the characterizations and adsorption isotherms. It is indicated that NZMts combines with AFB1 mainly through the hydrophobic interaction and ion dipole action, while with ZER mainly through hydrophobic interaction. The as-received NZMts with more hydrophobic property effectively enhance the adsorption capacities of weak polar and non-polar mycotoxins, providing a new orientation for multifunctional mycotoxin adsorbents.
