Abstract
Metabolites from marine sponges are considered a promising alternative to heavy metals in antifouling coatings. Water-soluble polymeric 3-alkylpyridinium salts and 14 related synthetic analogues showed considerable antibacterial activity against marine biofilm bacteria and may represent good candidates as natural biocides for marine technology applications.
