Stymulacja rozkładu substancji ropopochodnych w skażonej glebie z wykorzystaniem nadtlenku wodoru i szczepionki Yarrowia lipolytica A101
2016
Skażenia substancjami ropopochodnymi stanowią ogromny problem, nie tylko w rolnictwie, ponieważ negatywnie wpływają na właściwości fizyko-chemiczne i aktywność biologiczną gleb. Związki te mogą się również akumulować w roślinach lub wraz z pyłem osiadać na ich zielonych częściach. Większość z nich to substancje karcenogenne, dlatego ich usuwanie ze środowiska wymaga zastosowania efektywnych, tanich i bezpiecznych metod. W warunkach laboratoryjnych oceniono przydatność łącznego wykorzystania techniki stymulacji nadtlenkiem wodoru i bioaugmentacji szczepionką drożdżową Yarrowia lipolytica A101 do oczyszczania gleby z substancji ropopochodnych oraz wpływ na dynamikę zmian mikrobioty gleby.

Perceptual interactions in mixtures of odorants

Perceptual odor blending is influenced by chemical complexity of odorant mixtures
2008
International audience; Perfumers and flavorists are familiar with odor blending phenomenon and often report that a minimum number of odorants has to be mixed for a good odor blend to arise. Previous studies in humans and animals suggested that a configural process could be involved in the perceptual analysis of mixtures of odorants. It has been proposed that the perceptual blending phenomenon corresponds to a configural perception of odorant mixtures. In the present study, we investigated the influence of chemical complexity on the configural perception of odorant mixtures. Six mixtures including 2 to 6 odorants as well as each unmixed odorant were assessed for their odor quality by a pane…
Impact of proportion on configural perception of odor mixtures in a newborn mammal
2009
International audience; Configural perception of odor mixtures appears functional early in life. Recent results underline that after the learning of a binary mixture. (AB) that blends in humans, newborn rabbits respond both to the mixture and to its components. However, after the learning of. a single component they do not generalize to the mixture. This suggests that they perceive more in the mixture than the odor of each. constituent (Coureaud et al., Physiol. Behav. 2008). Here, we pursued the assessment of their configural perception of AB, with the. aim to determine whether specific component proportions of A and B elicit the perceptual emergence of an additional odor in AB. Starting. …

Development of the ETOC : a European test of olfactory capabilities
2003
A number of smell tests designed to evaluate human olfactory capabilities have been published, but none have been validated cross-culturally. The aim of this study was therefore to develop a reliable and quick olfactory test that could be used to evaluate efficiently the olfactory abilities of a European population. This test, named ETOC and based on a combination of a supra-threshold detection task and an identification task, was designed to be a cross-cultural tool that would measure the decline in olfactory performance with ageing. Two versions of the ETOC, one easy and one less easy, were used to test the olfactory performance of European citizens in three countries (France, Sweden and …
Des récepteurs à l'odeur : l'olfaction au quotidien
2022
Une des particularités du système olfactif est sa capacité à détecter et discriminer une myriade de composés odorants, le plus souvent présents en mélanges à des concentrations très faibles. Cette détection chimique est fondée sur une reconnaissance stéréochimique d'un ensemble complexe de molécules très diverses par des récepteurs olfactifs (RO). Des études génétiques conduites chez les rongeurs dès le début des années 1990 ont permis de dénombrer et d’identifier les gènes codant les récepteurs olfactifs. Cette découverte majeure a valu à Linda Buck et Richard Axel d’obtenir le Prix Nobel de médecine et physiologie en 2004. Des études génétiques ont révélé ensuite chez l’être humain la pré…
