Zusammenfassung:	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.
