Surface hydrophobicity is a very useful property and is used in many applications ranging from raincoats, antifouling coatings to applications in the field of medical sciences.
The idea is to engineer a bacterium that once applied to a surface starts forming a fast growing rigid biofilm. The formation will trigger the expression of hydrophobic proteins. These hydrophobic proteins will be incorporated in the biofilm, causing strong hydrophobic surface activity. The result is a hydrophobic bio-based surface coating.
