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
Anti-virulence therapy that interferes with bacterial communication, known as "quorum sensing (QS)", is a promising strategy for circumventing bacterial resistance. Using nanomaterials to regulate bacterial QS in anti-virulence therapy has attracted much attention, which is mainly attributed to unique physicochemical properties and excellent designability of nanomaterials. However, bacterial QS is a dynamic and multistep process, and there are significant differences in the specific regulatory mechanisms and related influencing factors of nanomaterials in different steps of the QS process. An in-depth understanding of the specific regulatory mechanisms and related influencing factors of nanomaterials in each step can significantly optimize QS regulatory activity and enhance the development of novel nanomaterials with better comprehensive performance. Therefore, this review focuses on the mechanisms by which nanomaterials regulate bacterial QS in the signal supply (including signal synthesis, secretion, and accumulation) and signal transduction cascade (including signal perception and response) processes. Moreover, based on the two key influencing factors (i.e., the nanomaterial itself and the environment), optimization strategies to enhance the QS regulatory activity are comprehensively summarized. Collectively, applying nanomaterials to regulate bacterial QS is a promising strategy for anti-virulence therapy. This review provides reference and inspiration for further research on the anti-virulence application of nanomaterials.

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
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
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
Increasingly complex synthetic environmental pollutants are prompting further research into bioremediation, which is one of the most economical and safest means of environmental restoration. From the current research, using microbial consortia to degrade complex compounds is more advantageous compared to using isolated bacteria, as the former is more adaptable and stable within the growth environment and can provide a suitable catalytic environment for each enzyme required by the biodegradation pathway. With the development of synthetic biology and gene-editing tools, artificial microbial consortia systems can be designed to be more efficient, stable, and robust, and they can be used to produce high-value-added products with their strong degradation ability. Furthermore, microbial consortia systems are shown to be promising in the degradation of complex compounds. In this review, the strategies for constructing stable and robust microbial consortia are discussed. The current advances in the degradation of complex compounds by microbial consortia are also classified and detailed, including plastics, petroleum, antibiotics, azo dyes, and some pollutants present in sewage. Thus, this paper aims to support some helps to those who focus on the degradation of complex compounds by microbial consortia.
