Sensitivity to acetic acid, ability to colonize abiotic surfaces and virulence potential of Listeria monocytogenes EGD-e after incubation on parsley …
2010
International audience; Abstract Aim: To investigate how the survival of Listeria monocytogenes on parsley leaves may affect its ability to sustain process-related harsh conditions and its virulence. Methods and Results: Parsley seedlings were spot inoculated with stationary phase cells of L. monocytogenes EGD-e and incubated for 15 days. Each day, bacterial cells were harvested and enumerated, and their ability to survive acetic acid challenge (90 min, pH 4.0), to colonize abiotic surfaces and to grow as biofilms was assessed. After a 3-log decrease over the first 48 h, the population stabilized to about 10(6) CFU g(-1) until the sixth day. After the sixth day, L. monocytogenes was no long…
Dual stereocontrolled alkylation of aldehydes with polystyrene-supported nickel complexes derived from α-amino amides
2015
Nickel(II) complexes derived from α-amino amide ligands anchored to gel-type and monolithic polymers act as efficient catalysts for the enantioselective addition of dialkylzinc reagents to aldehydes. Similar to the analogous homogeneous systems, dual stereocontrol in addition products can be achieved by controlling the stoichiometry of the immobilized nickel complex. Aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes were alkylated in good yields with enantioselectivities comparable to those obtained with the homogeneous analogues. These polymer-supported catalysts offer significant advantages as no metal leaching is observed and they can be easily recovered from the reaction mixture by simple filtration and…
Enhanced Heterogeneous Catalytic Conversion of Furfuryl Alcohol into Butyl Levulinate
2014
We study the catalytic condensation of furfuryl alcohol with 1-butanol to butyl levulinate. A screening of several commercial and as-synthesized solid acid catalysts shows that propylsulfonic acid-functionalized mesoporous silica outperforms the state-of-the-art phosphotungstate acid catalysts. The catalyst is prepared via template-assisted sol-gel polycondensation of TEOS and MPTMS. It gives 96 % yield (and 100 % selectivity) of butyl levulinate in 4h at 110 °C. Reaction profiles before and after a hot filtration test confirm that the active catalytic species do not leach into the solution. The catalyst synthesis, characterization, and mode of operation are presented and discussed. Sour ca…

Treatment of trans-[PtCl2(NCR)2] 1 (R = Me (1a), Et (1b), o-ClC6H4 (1c), p-ClC6H4 (1d), p-(HCdouble bond; length as m-dashO)C6H4 (1e), p-O2NC6H4CH2 (1f)) with 1,3-diiminoisoindoline HNdouble bond; length as m-dashCC6H4C(NH)double bond; length as m-dashNH 2 gives access to the corresponding (1,3,5,7,9-pentaazanona-1,3,6,8-tetraenato)Pt(II) complexes [PtCl{NHdouble bond; length as m-dashC(R)Ndouble bond; length as m-dashC(C6H4)NCdouble bond; length as m-dashNC(R)double bond; length as m-dashNH}] 3a–f, in good yields (65–70%). The reaction of trans-[PdCl2(NCMe)2] 4a with 2 furnishes (1,3,5,7,9-pentaazanona-1,3,6,8-tetraenato)Pd(II) complex [PdCl{NHdouble bond; length as m-dashC(Me)Ndouble bond…
Evaluation of the concept of heterology in a monoclonal antibody-based ELISA utilizing direct hapten linkage to polystyrene microtiter plates.
2005
A series of new heterologous haptens has been synthesized and used as coating haptens in an antigen-immobilized immunoassay with a monoclonal antibody against atrazine. Coating was achieved by covalently linking the different haptens to a glutaraldehyde network directly bound to the polystyrene surface of a standard 96-well microtiter plate. With the assay designed in the antigen-immobilized format with direct chemical linkage of the hapten to the solid polystyrene surface well-defined hapten densities were achieved in all experiments. The results of different experiments with different coating haptens were comparable. Using different heterologous haptens it appears that the concept of hete…

Stereoselective aldol reaction catalyzed by a highly recyclable polystyrene supported substituted prolinamide catalyst
2008
Polystyrene supported substituted prolinamide was used as catalyst in the aldol reaction between cyclohexanone or acetone and several substituted benzaldehydes in chloroform/water. This catalyst afforded aldol products in high yields and stereoselectivities, especially in the case of reactions performed with acetone. The catalyst was easily recovered by filtration and reused, after regeneration with formic acid, up to 22 times.
