abstract |
New materials obtained through the incorporation of meso-tetraarylporphyrins, bearing phenyl or pentafluorophenyl groups at the meso positions with or without acid groups, in chitosan films have been prepared and characterized in detail. The efficiency of these porphyrinic-chitosan films (PS-CF) to prevent Listeria innocua attachment and subsequent biofilm formation was evaluated under different irradiation protocols (dark, light, light + dark, dark + light). All tested porphyrinic-chitosan films were photostable and effective in reducing Listeria innocua attachment during a period of 24 h exposure to white light. Biofilm development was nearly completely inhibited in two of the PS-CF films (one containing the 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin and the other one of the thio-carboxylate porphyrins) after being exposed to white light for 24 h followed by incubation in the dark for 48 h. Experiments with the non-immobilized porphyrins against cell suspensions of the same Listeria innocua strain showed that, the photodynamic inactivation efficiency was dependent on porphyrin. The demonstrated antimicrobial activity of PS-CF films, associated with the easy recovery of these films, make them promising photodynamic antifouling materials. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.
