  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Streptavidin is a 58 kDa tetrameric protein with the highest known affinity to biotin with a wide range of applications in bionanotechnology and molecular biology. Dissolved streptavidin is stable at a broad range of temperature, pH, proteolytic enzymes and exhibits low non‐specific binding. In this study, a streptavidin monolayer was assembled directly on a biotinylated TiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>‐surface to investigate its stability against proteolytic digestion and its suppression of initial bacterial adsorption of <jats:italic>Escherichia coli</jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Bacillus subtilis</jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>Streptococcus intermedius</jats:italic>. In contrast to nonmodified TiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> surfaces, streptavidin‐coated substrates showed only a negligible non‐specific protein adsorption at physiological protein concentrations as well as a significantly reduced bacterial adhesion. The antiadhesive properties were demonstrated to be the main reason for the suppression of bacterial adhesion, which makes this approach a promising option for future surface biofunctionalization applications. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
