ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are marine antifouling compositions and/or paints containing, microorganism(s), or mixtures of hydrolytic enzyme(s) and microorganism(s), wherein the microorganism or hydrolytic enzyme reduce fouling of a surface coated by the marine antifouling composition and/or paint. Such compositions and/or paints may contain a catalytically effective amount of an inorganic salt. Also disclosed are articles coated with the composition and/or paint. Finally, methods are disclosed for reducing fouling of a marine surface, for reducing marine corrosion, for limiting absorption of water by a marine surface, for reducing the coefficient of drag of a marine surface, removing marine growth from a marine surface, and for reducing mildew fungus on a marine surface.
