The effect of the coupling approach (chemical by using carbodiimide chemistry and grafting-to versus grafting-from synthesis routes, and enzymatic by using transglutaminase) of -poly-L-lysine (PL) graft yield with wool fibers was studied and evaluated related to their antibacterial activity against gram-negative Escherichia coli and gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, after 1-24h of exposure. While the PL applied was evaluated colorimetrically by wool staining with two acid dyes and quantitatively by evaluation of the basic groups using potentiometric titration, its orientation was determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and, for the first time, by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance spectroscopy using spin-labeled PL. The highest (approximate to 99% for E. coli versus approximate to 92% for S. aureus) and kinetically the fastest (in 3h) antibacterial activity with approximate to 83% for E. coli versus approximate to 64% for S. aureus bactericidal effect was determined for the wool functionalized by the chemical grafting-to approach. Such an effect may be related to both quantitatively the highest (approximate to 62 g(PL)/kg(wool)) grafting yield of PL and conformationally its highly flexible brush-like structure. Comparably, the enzymatic coupling (approximate to 50 g(PL)/kg(wool)) giving approximate to 95% and approximate to 8% reductions of E. coli and S. aureus, respectively, being additionally reduced to approximate to 74% and approximate to 78% by using the grafting-from approach (approximate to 34 g(PL)/kg(wool)), was identified as the less bactericidally effective (approximate to 63% versus approximate to 58%). It was also shown that a non-ionic surfactant being used in the durability testing of functionalized wool to washing adheres strongly onto the fibers, thus blocking the amino groups of PL, and, as such, decreases the antibacterial efficiency of the wool, being unaffected in the case when the washing was carried out without surfactant.
