Embodiment Construction
[0036]Disclosed herein are various scaleable surface topography for modifying biodeposition, i.e. bioadhesion, such as biofouling organisms including but not limited to algae, bacteria, fungi , mold and barnacles. As described in the examples described below, it has been demonstrated through experimental testing that the surface topography according to the present invention provides a passivated and non-toxic surface which, by choosing appropriate feature sizes and spacings, can be significantly and generally larger. Significantly reduced settling and adhesion of most co-fouling microorganisms.
[0037] While not required to practice the invention, applicants provide the following, which applicants do not intend to be bound by an institution believed to be capable of operation to demonstrate the efficacy of the invention. Surface efficacy according to the invention may be due to physical interference with the settling and adhesion of microorganisms such as algae, bacteria and...
