Thermal restraint of a bacterial exopolysaccharide of shallow vent origin
This is the post-print version of the following article: "Thermal restraint of a bacterial exopolysaccharide of shallow vent origin", which has been published in final form at https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0141813018308250?via%3Dihub; International audience; To dynamically characterize the thermal properties of the fructose-rich exopolysaccharide (EPS1-T14), produced by themarine thermophilic Bacillus licheniformis T14, the Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transform Infra-Redspectroscopy was coupled to variable temperature ranging from ambient to 80 °C.The spectra were analyzed by the following innovative mathematical tools: i) non-ideal spectral deviation, ii) OHst…
Preliminary Study on the In vitro and In vivo Effects of Asparagopsis taxiformis Bioactive Phycoderivates on Teleosts
Several compounds from marine organisms have been studied for their potential use in aquaculture. Among the red algae, Asparagopsis taxiformis is considered one of the most promising species for the production of bioactive metabolites with numerous proposed applications. Here, the in vitro antibacterial activity, the easy handling and the absence of adverse effects on marine fish species are reported. Depending on the seasonal period of sampling, ethanol extracts of A. taxiformis exhibited significantly different inhibitory activity against fish pathogenic bacteria. The extract obtained in late spring showed strong antibacterial activity against Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida, Vib…
