Résumé
Biofouling is the undesirable accumulation of living organisms and their metabolites on submerged surfaces. Biofouling begins with adhesion of biomacromolecules and/or microorganisms and can lead to the subsequent formation of biofilms that are predominantly regulated by chemical signals, such as cyclic dinucleotides and quorum-sensing molecules. Biofilms typically release chemical cues that recruit or repel other invertebrate larvae and algal spores. As such, harnessing the biochemical mechanisms involved is a promising avenue for controlling biofouling. Here, we discuss how chemical signaling affects biofilm formation and dispersion in model species. We also examine how this translates to marine biofouling. Both inductive and inhibitory effects of chemical cues from biofilms on macrofouling are also discussed. Finally, we outline promising mitigation strategies by targeting chemical signaling to foster biofilm dispersion or inhibit biofouling.

This work describes an anti-detection adaptation, termed ‘biofilm cloak’, in which bacterial biofilms produce exopolysaccharides to reduce the leaching of autoinducers into the milieu, thereby concealing their trails to avoid detection by the predator. This adaptation indicates that restriction of bacterial signaling to the confinement of biofilms is a novel approach for predator evasion.
