The advantage here is that these bacteria live in water and so they bind to all sorts of surfaces in water. This means that this glue is very versatile. |
The challenge will be to produce large quantities of this glue without it sticking to everything that is used to produce it. |
There are obvious applications since this adhesive works on wet surfaces. One possibility would be as a biodegradable surgical adhesive. |
We tried washing the glue off. It didn't work. |
