The present disclosure relates to a coating with anti-adhesive properties (in order to repel or prevent bacterial or platelet adhesion) based on a naturally produced polymer. This polymer that has been extensively characterized and is produced by a marine bacterium—Cyanothece sp. CCY 0110, at optimized production conditions to obtain increased amounts of polymer. Importantly, this strain is among the highly efficient polymer producers, secreting the polymer directly to the media, allowing the easy recovery of polymer with few purification steps, being a cost-effective product. The coating can be applied to medical devices or medical implants to prevent biofilm mediated infections thereof.

The invention relates to a method to inhibit gene expression in bacteria, which is referred to here as Antibacterial Gene Silencing (AGS). In particular embodiments, the method is used to protect plants and animals against pathogenic bacteria by targeting pathogenicity factors and / or essential genes in a sequence-specific manner via small non-coding RNAs. The method can also be used to enhance beneficial effects and / or growth of symbiotic or commensal bacteria. The invention involves the exogenous delivery of small RNA entities onto bacteria, either in the form of RNA extracts or embedded into plant extracellular vesicles (EVs), so as to reduce bacterial growth, survival and / or pathogenicity. The invention also describes a method to identify in a rapid, reliable and cost-effective manner, small RNAs that possess antibacterial activity and that have the potential to be further developed as anti-infective agents. In addition, the latter method is instrumental to rapidly characterize any gene from any bacterial species.

CONTROLE DE LA PROLIFERATION DES MACRO ALGUES VERTES La présente invention concerne le contrôle de la prolifération de macro-algues vertes. Plus particulièrement, la prolifération d'algues Ulva lactuca peut être contrôlée par un principe actif vivant contenu dans l'eau de mer de la mer Méditerranée. Les inventeurs ont constaté que l'eau de mer de la mer Méditerranée, collectée sur un site particulier (43°14'N de latitude et 5°21'E de longitude), pouvait favoriser la mort d'Ulva lactuca, sans émission de vapeurs acides toxiques, comme par exemple vapeurs d’hydrogène sulfuré (H2S). Globalement, les inventeurs fournissent des données montrant que ladite eau de mer comprend un microorganisme vivant qui promeut de la mort de l'algue Ulva lactuca. Figure de l’abrégé : Fig. 2
