High gas pressure survival/reactivation of soil microorganisms

2014

International audience; Deep sea sediments constitute a considerable reserve of microorganisms belonging to different microbial communities. Our researches aimed to better understand cellular mechanisms related to cellular plasticity involved in resistance of such microbial communities to extreme conditions and more particularly to high level of pressure (> 50 MPa). Obviously, the first step is to isolate microorganisms present in deep sea sediments and then cultivate. The comparison of the cultivation of such microorganisms under atmospheric conditions and under pressure conditions will afford a possible reactivation of specific piezotolerants and/or piezophiles organisms from dormancy. Th…

Etude du rôle de STING dans la biologie des lymphocytes T CD4 : application en immunothérapie anticancéreuse

2021

Recognition of danger signals by intracellular or extracellular receptors expressed by innate immune cells is crucial for the establishment of an effective adaptive immune response. STING (Stimulator of Interferon Genes) is a protein located in the endoplasmic reticulum discovered in 2008 as being essential for the detection of cytosolic DNAs and the establishment of antiviral immune response mediated by type I interferons (IFNs). The STING protein also plays a key role in spontaneous anti-tumor immune responses and the administration of STING ligands in tumor-bearing mice favors tumor growth control. These observations have been verified in clinical trials in patients with melanoma, illust…

Nutritional prevention by dietary resveratrol as chemopreventive agent: application to colorectal cancers

2006

Resveratrol (3,4',5 tri-hydroxystilbene) is a plant phytoalexin produced in massive amount in grapevine skin in response to stress such as UV, phytosanitary treatment, and mostly following infection by Bothrytis cinerea. In this later case, the production of resveratrol inhibits the proliferation of the pathogen, thereby acting as a natural antifungal. Many experimental studies have reported interesting properties of trans-resveratrol as a preventive agent against important pathologies i.e. vascular diseases, cancers, viral infection or neurodegenerative processes. In addition, several epidemiological studies indicated that resveratrol would be the main microcomponent of wine leading health…

Improving acid tolerance in Oenococcus oeni by Adaptive Evolution

2017

International audience; Oenococcus oeni is a lactic acid bacterium (LAB) mainly responsible for the malolactic fermentation (MLF) inwine. MLF plays an important role in determining the final quality of wines[1]. Even though this LAB is naturally present in musts, wines and oenological environment, spontaneous MLF are usually unpredictable because of the stressful conditions and especially due to acidity [2]. The consequence of the mismanagement ofthis step might lead to the depreciation of wine quality. To obtain a clone more tolerant to acidity, we undertaken to replicate O. oeni in a temporally varying environment (pH 5.3 to 3.2) to improve acid tolerance. To discriminate stress tolerance…

Adaptive evolution to improve acid tolerance in Oenococcus oeni

2019

International audience; Oenococcus oeni is a lactic acid bacterium (LAB) mainly responsible for the malolactic fermentation (MLF) inwine. MLF plays an important role in determining the final quality of wines [1]. Even though this LAB is naturallypresent in musts, wines and oenological environment, spontaneous MLF are usually unpredictable because of thestressful conditions and especially due to acidity [2]. The consequence of the mismanagement of this step might leadto the depreciation of wine quality. To obtain a clone more tolerant to acidity, we undertook a replication of O. oeni until 450 generations in a temporally varying environment (pH 5.3 to 2.9) to improve acid tolerance. To discr…
