Recombinant hydroperoxide lyase for the production of aroma compounds: Effect of substrate on the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica
2008
International audience; The aim of this study was to investigate the action mechanism of linoleic acid hydroperoxides (HPOD), which are the major substrates of hydroperoxide lyase for the production of flavour compounds, on the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica by evaluating their effect on the oxidative state of the cells. The total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and the activity of the main antioxidant enzymes, such as glutathione reductase, glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase, of cells treated with HPOD were studied. The potential role of intracellular glutathione, including reduced glutathione (GSH) and oxidized glutathione (GSSG), in conferring HPOD resistance was also been examined. T…
Aroma production by solid state fermentation
2018
The adaptation of the production of γ-decalactones from submerged fermentation (SmF) to solid state fermentation (SSF) by Yarrowia lipolytica was investigated in this work. First of all, different solid matrices (corncob, cellulose sponge, luffa sponge, and castor seeds) were used for the first adaptation of the production of γ-décalactones. Luffa sponge appeared to be the most interesting solid support on which lactones were produced in higher concentrations than in the other solid matrices used. Then, the production of lactones using luffa sponge as the solid support was carried out in three types of SSF reactors to monitor different aeration conditions (without aeration, with a static ae…
Cold plumes trigger contamination of oceanic mantle wedges with continental crust-derived sediments: Evidence from chromitite zircon grains of easter…
2018
The origin of zircon grains, and other exotic minerals of typical crustal origin, in mantle-hosted ophiolitic chromitites are hotly debated.We report a population of zircon grains with ages ranging from Cretaceous (99 Ma) to Neoarchean (2750 Ma), separated from massive chromitite bodies hosted in the mantle section of the supra-subduction (SSZ)-type Mayarí-Baracoa Ophiolitic Belt in eastern Cuba. Most analyzed zircon grains (n = 20, 287 +/- 3 Ma to 2750 +/- 60 Ma) are older than the early Cretaceous age of the ophiolite body, show negative εHf(t) (+/-26 to +/-0.6) and occasional inclusions of quartz, K-feldspar, biotite, and apatite that indicate derivation from a granitic continental crust…
Minimum Time Control of the Restricted Three-Body Problem
2012
The minimum time control of the circular restricted three-body problem is considered. Controllability is proved on an adequate submanifold. Singularities of the extremal flow are studied by means of a stratification of the switching surface. Properties of homotopy maps in optimal control are framed in a simple case. The analysis is used to perform continuations on the two parameters of the problem: The ratio of the masses, and the magnitude of the control.
Analysis of highly excited 'hot' bands in the SO2 molecule: ν2 + 3ν3 - ν2 and 2ν1 + ν2 + ν3 - ν2
2010
International audience; We set up a variational procedure of assignments of transitions and we applied it to the analysis very weak 'hot' bands, v(2) + 3v(3) - v(2) and 2v(1) + v(2) + v(3) - v(2), of the SO2 molecule. As the first step of the study, the 'cold' bands, 3v(3) and 2v(1) + v(3), are re-analysed and transitions belonging to those bands are assigned up to the values of quantum numbers J(max.) = 60, K-a(max.) = 19, and J(max.) = 69, K-a(max.) = 20 for the bands 3v(3) and 2v(1) + v(3), respectively. After 'cleaning' the experimental spectrum from transitions belonging to the 3v(3) and 2v(1) + v(3) bands, a variational procedure was used that allowed us to assign 230 and 115 transiti…
Genetic variation in the primary sex ratio in populations of the intertidal copepod, Tigriopus californicus, is widespread on Vancouver Island.
2011
Hypothesis: Genetic variation for the primary sex ratio is widespread in a copepodwith polygenic sex determination. Cytoplasmic sex ratio distorters (e.g. Wolbachia andmicrosporidians) influence the primary sex ratio in this copepod. Organism: The intertidal copepod, Tigriopus californicus; six populations from VancouverIsland, British Columbia. Study site: Quantitative genetics experiment in the laboratory. PCR and antibioticsexperiment to test for the presence of cytoplasmic sex ratio distorters. Results: Genetic variation for the primary sex ratio was found in five of the six populationssurveyed. The primary sex ratio was paternally transmitted. There was no evidence thatWolbachia or mic…
Structures of single, double and triple layers of lipids adsorbed on graphene: Insights from all-atom molecular dynamics simulations
2017
Abstract Non-covalent functionalization of graphene with phospholipids is a promising technique for biosensing applications and intracellular delivery of analytical probes and drugs. However, molecular details of the self-assembly of lipids on graphene surface is still poorly understood and hard to control. There is a clear lack of understanding of why various kinds of lipid aggregates can form on graphene. In the current work, we address this question by investigating equilibrium and dynamical properties of lipid layers adsorbed on graphene in water environment and in vacuum using all-atom Molecular Dynamics simulations. It is shown that a variety of lipid aggregates can form on top of gra…

Tumoral lymphocyte immune response to preoperative radiotherapy in locally advanced rectal cancer as a prognostic factor for survival: the LYMPHOREC …
2015
Présentation Poster; International audience; Background: Short-course preoperative radiotherapy (sc-preopRT) and long-course preoperative radiotherapy (lc-preopRT) followed by total mesorectal excision (TME) are worldwide standards of care in locally advanced T3–4 N0 or N1 rectal adenocarcinoma. It is now well established that the host immune system participates in the elimination of tumor cells and that significant tumor infiltration by T-cells (LT), such as CD8+, is associated with a better prognosis. In colorectal tumors, the infiltration of Treg FoxP3+ is also described as a prognostic factor associated with better survival. We aimed to investigate the impact of the immune response to p…
