Antimicrobial Properties of Transition Metals Substituted Chitosan against Cobetia Marina

Article Preview

Abstract:

This research work offers the new organic compound which has potential to replace the use of tributylin (TBT) in antifouling application. All modified chitosan powders were synthesized using in-house powder processing techniques. Pure and modified chitosan were evaluated for fouling properties via antimicrobial activity test against Cobetia Marina (C. Marina). The results indicated that copper substituted chitosan (CS-Cu) showed the highest inhibition zone and lowest number of C. Marina survival. It can be implied that CS-Cu showed the best antimicrobial ability against C. Marina.
