The role of antibiosis in the antagonism of different bacteria towards Helminthosporium solani, the causal agent of potato silver scurf
Bacterial antagonists of Helminthosporium solani were submitted to different tests in order to determine the role of antibiosis in their antagonistic interaction. Among the bacterial strains tested, seven (Alcaligenes piechaudii, Aquaspirillum autotrophicum, Cellulomonas fimi, Pseudomonas chlororaphis, Pseudomonas putida (strains 94-19 and E-30) and Streptomyces griseus) were shown to produce agar diffusible metabolites inhibiting H. solani mycelial growth and/or conidial germination. Differential activity was revealed when diffusible metabolites were extracted from either pure cultures of these antagonists or dual culture in the presence of H. solani. The results presented indicate that the methodology employed could be a decisive factor in whether or not antibiosis can be identified as a mode of action of biocontrol agents.Des antagonistes bactériens envers Helminthosporium solani ont été soumis à différents essais en vue de déterminer le rôle de l'antibiose dans l'antagonisme observé. Parmi les souches bactériennes évaluées, sept (Alcaligenes piechaudii, Aquaspirillum autotrophicum, Cellulomonas fimi, Pseudomonas chlororaphis, Pseudomonas putida (souches 94-19 et E-30) et Streptomyces griseus) ont produit dans le milieu gélosé des métabolites inhibant la croissance mycélienne et/ou la germination des conidies de H. solani. Les métabolites produits en culture pure et en culture mixte ont présenté une activité différente sur la croissance mycélienne de H. solani. Les résultats présentés indiquent que la méthodologie employée peut être un facteur déterminant dans l'identification de l'antibiose comme mode d'action d'un agent antagoniste
1,2,3,4-TetraÂhydroÂisoquinoline-2-sulfonamide
The title compound, C9H12N2O2S, is a useful precursor of a variety of modified sulfonamide molÂecules. Due to the importance of these molÂecules in biological systems (antibacterials, antidepressants and many other applications), there is a growing interÂest in the discovery of new biologically active compounds. In the title compound, the molÂecules are linked by N—H⋯O interÂmolecular hydrogen bonds involving the sulfonamide function to form an infinite two-dimensional network parallel to the (001) plane
Efficacité potentielle de valorisation: Proposition d’indicateurs à l’usage du concepteur pour mieux prendre en compte l’efficacité des voies de traitement du produit en fin de vie
EcoSD NetworkDepuis les années 1970, des réglementations de plus en plus contraignantes ont été mises en place pour résoudre les problématiques environnementales et mieux valoriser les déchets, dans une optique d’économie circulaire. Deux axes sont généralement proposés pour résoudre la problématique de la gestion de déchets. Le premier consiste à ce que les déchets soient gérés par des filières de traitement dont les objectifs de valorisation sont contraints par typologie de produits. Le second se base sur la prévention de la génération de déchets par l’écoconception du produit qui (i) permet de prolonger la durée de vie du produit, et (ii) assure qu’il soit mieux recyclé en fin de vie. Cet article s’intéresse au renforcement du lien entre ces deux axes en proposant des indicateurs complémentaires aux taux de valorisabilité permettant aux concepteurs de mieux comprendre l’efficacité de la valorisation dans les différentes voies de traitement en fin de vie
Product Recoverability: A Review of Assessment Methods
Merci de lier cette communication au catalogue EcoSD de HallToday, companies need to assess the recoverability of their products from the design phase, not only for legislative reasons but also to appraise how they will be able to recover all or part of their value when they reach end of life. The main reference calculation methods are both the norm ISO 22628, which addresses the automotive industry, and the IEC/TR 62635 report, which addresses the electrical and electronic equipment industry. Both reference methods only focus on mass preservation indicators (as legislation requires) but ignore important aspects such as material quality loss, environmental impacts, and economic value preservation. Indeed, multi-criteria assessment is needed as it can be a key factor for both improving product design and to help designers integrate recycled materials into their products. In that regard, several other studies exploring multi-criteria analysis (i.e. technical, economic and/or environmental-based) do exist. The aim of this paper is to (i) present a critical review of current recoverability assessment methods and (ii) find the existing gaps by comparing whether the used indicators meet the designer needs or not.Travail co-financé par l'ADEME, l'ENSAM et l'Institut Carnot Arts Travail mené dans le cadre du réseau national EcoS
Recycling chains : a proposal for an exhaustive definition
Connected with the French ECOSD networkIn the context of a circular economy, recycling presents as an interesting solution to reduce the impact of raw materials extraction and to reduce the quantity of waste that is incinerated or landfilled. However nowadays, there is no global and complete definition (which could be used as a common reference) of recycling chains. Listing the parameters to be taken into account, such a definition would allow manufacturers and researchers to better assess the efficiency and the stability of supply chains (not only at the beginning of the product lifecycle, but also towards the next one), and to accurately compare them. Therefore, we need a better definition of recycling chains, describing the system in its whole dimension (i.e. all internal and external factors) so as to improve (i) our understanding of the system and (ii) its inherent problems. Firstly, the recycling chain will be defined and described as exhaustively as possible. Then, the second part will focus on the best way to integrate this information when analyzing and optimizing recycling chains. Lastly, perspectives of this preliminary work will be detailed.ADEME, ECOS
mTORC1 controls Golgi architecture and vesicle secretion by phosphorylation of SCYL1
mTORC1 is a master regulator of cell growth with well-known functions in inhibiting autophagic vesicle formation. Here, the authors show that mTORC1 also affects Golgi architecture and vesicle secretion by phosphorylating the scaffold protein SCYL1. The protein kinase mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is a master regulator of cell growth and proliferation, supporting anabolic reactions and inhibiting catabolic pathways like autophagy. Its hyperactivation is a frequent event in cancer promoting tumor cell proliferation. Several intracellular membrane-associated mTORC1 pools have been identified, linking its function to distinct subcellular localizations. Here, we characterize the N-terminal kinase-like protein SCYL1 as a Golgi-localized target through which mTORC1 controls organelle distribution and extracellular vesicle secretion in breast cancer cells. Under growth conditions, SCYL1 is phosphorylated by mTORC1 on Ser754, supporting Golgi localization. Upon mTORC1 inhibition, Ser754 dephosphorylation leads to SCYL1 displacement to endosomes. Peripheral, dephosphorylated SCYL1 causes Golgi enlargement, redistribution of early and late endosomes and increased extracellular vesicle release. Thus, the mTORC1-controlled phosphorylation status of SCYL1 is an important determinant regulating subcellular distribution and function of endolysosomal compartments. It may also explain the pathophysiology underlying human genetic diseases such as CALFAN syndrome, which is caused by loss-of-function of SCYL1
Large-scale gene discovery in the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum (Hemiptera)
Aphids are the leading pests in agricultural crops. A large-scale sequencing of 40,904 ESTs from the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum was carried out to define a catalog of 12,082 unique transcripts. A strong AT bias was found, indicating a compositional shift between Drosophila melanogaster and A. pisum. An in silico profiling analysis characterized 135 transcripts specific to pea-aphid tissues (relating to bacteriocytes and parthenogenetic embryos). This project is the first to address the genetics of the Hemiptera and of a hemimetabolous insect.Beatriz Sabater-Muñoz... et al
