Development of multidimensional spectroscopic and microscopic techniques to facilitate the monitoring of native fluorescence of biomolecules.
2022
There is a need for the development of rapid and reliable characterization tools for biological media. The objective of this thesis is to develop a method based on the acquisition of excitation-emission matrices of fluorescence (EEMF) coupled with the use of fluorescence lifetime measurement in spectroscopy and microscopy (FLIM). These techniques have great potential due to their speed, low sample volume required for analysis, non-destructive sample analysis, and low cost. This project focused on two biological media of great interest to the food industry: wine and bacterial spores. On one hand, we have a beverage representing a large world market, and on the other hand, a food contaminant …
Study of Bacillus subtilis spore's : characterication of stuctures implied in its resistance
2013
The bacterial spore is a multilayer microbial form which is extremely resistant to environmental perturbations. This resistance is especially due to its unique structure which is particularly compact and weakly permeable. This work aims to identify and characterize the spore structures involved in these properties. Overall investigation methods, such as NMR and fluorescence anisotropy, have shown that the cortex of Bacillus subtilis spores is modified by temperature for level similar to that of the activation of germination. This will result in changes to the access to the inner membrane. A tool at the spore’s scale, the fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) in conjunction with th…
Quantum dynamics of the oxygen isotopic exchange : lifetimes of metastable states of the ozone intermediate complex
2021
This thesis aims to describe the ozone dynamics during the isotopic exchange reactions of oxygen of type xO + yO zO (xO yO zO)* xO yO + zO, where x, y and z are the atomic masses of the stable oxygen isotopes (16, 17, 18). Firstly, we analyze several methods of accurate description of the atom interactions and numerical schemes to obtain the observables for the collision. Then, in a full-quantum hyperspherical formalism, we study the actual dynamics of the reactive process O + O2 -> O3* -> O2 + O. The metastable ozone created can then either decompose into oxygen by the inverse reaction, or relax into stable ozone by exchanging energy with the environment, typically N2 or O2 molecules. Thes…
