Two tropical legumes and a temperate legume were studied during the course of this work. These were Leucaena leucocephala (cv. Peru), Canavalia ensiformis(cv. unknown) and Lupinus albus (cv.

The dried ground leaf obtained from Leucaena leucocephala (LLM), the seeds of Canavalia ensiformis (jack bean; JB) and Lupinus albus (lupin) were the materials used in the study.

Abstract:
Farmington Bay of Great Salt Lake receives a significant amount of the nutrient-polluted runoff from Salt Lake and Davis Counties, Utah. This nutrient-laden runoff has led to seasonal blooms of blue-green algae, Nodularia spumigena, which produce a toxin called nodularin that has been shown to be toxic to aquatic organisms, birds, and mammals. Nodularia spumigena are the most common algae found in Farmington Bay. This study focused on understanding the physical and chemical factors controlling the growth of Nodularia spumigena in order to improve our knowledge about how nutrients impact algae

Bacterial toxins have co-opted host cell machinery in order to enter cells and exert their deleterious effects. Anthrax toxin is composed of the receptor binding protein protective antigen (PA), and the enzymatic subunits lethal factor (LF) and edema factor (EF), which form the binary toxin complexes lethal toxin, LeTx (PA + LF), and edema toxin, EdTx (PA + EF). PA binds to receptors on the surface of host cells and shuttles LF and EF into cells through the endocytic pathway. Upon endosome acidification, PA oligomers insert into the endosomal membrane and form functional pores that deliver LF

Once inhaled, the spores become activated and the anthrax bacterium starts to reproduce and damage healthy macrophages by the release of the anthrax toxin.

Abstract:
Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are omnipresent and persistent environmental pollutants. In particular, 29 congeners are of special concern, and these are usually referred to as dioxin-like compounds (DLCs). In the European Union, the risks associated with DLCs in food products are estimated by a weighted sum of the DLCs’ concentrations. These weights, also called toxic equivalency factors (TEFs), compare the DLCs’ potencies to the most toxic congener, 2,3,7,8-tetrachloro-dibenzo-p-dioxin (2378- TCDD). The toxicological effects of

Les groupes de traitement de la toxicomanie en milieu carcéral offrent un contexte d’intervention particulier. Bien que plusieurs études abordent leur efficacité, les processus d’intervention qui y prennent place ont été très peu explorés dans les écrits scientifiques. Il devenait alors pertinent d’entreprendre cette recherche, qui tente de saisir l’expérience des hommes qui participent à un groupe psychoéducatif dans le cadre du programme Toxico-Justice offert en milieu carcéral. S’inscrivant dans la perspective de l’interactionnisme symbolique, l’étude utilise l’entretien qualitatif semi-dir

Clostridium perfringens causa enterite necrótica aviária devido à produção de toxinas que lesam o intestino. Neste estudo, de 94 amostras nove apresentaram C. perfringens, totalizando 22 isolados. Todos exceto um isolado, possuíram os genes nanI (95%) e/ou nanJ (81%), e 19/22, mostraram atividade neuraminidase em hemácias de frango. A atividade hemaglutinante foi observada em poucos isolados (26%). Todos os isolados foram plc positivos (toxina &alpha;), sendo classificados como tipo A. Sete isolados (31,8%) abrigaram o gene tpeL que codifica a toxina TpeL. Isolados tpeL+ mostraram efeito citot

Abstract:
L’émergence et la dissémination récentes de clones hypervirulents et multi-résistants de Klebsiella pneumoniae ont renouvelé l'intérêt général envers Klebsiella. Cependant, notre connaissance de la pathogénèse de Klebsiella au niveau moléculaire et cellulaire reste faible. Dans ce travail, nous avons mené deux axes de recherche focalisés sur la pathogénèse de Klebsiella. Le premier projet visait à caractériser un mutant de capsule de K. pneumoniae incapable de produire une toxine colibactine fonctionnelle. La colibactine est un métabolite secondaire génotoxique produit principalement par des s

Le glioblastome (GBM) est la forme de cancer du cerveau la plus courante et la plus meurtrière. Sa nature diffusive entraine une impossibilité d’élimination complète par chirurgie. Une récidive de la tumeur chez ≥ 90% des patients peut être provoqué par des cellules GBM résiduelles se trouvant près du bord de la cavité de résection. Un implant pouvant libérer de manière durable la protéine SDF-1α, qui se lie aux récepteur CXCR4 à la surface des cellules GBM, peut être utile pour induire le recrutement des cellules GBM résiduelles, permettre leur élimination sélective et finalement réduire la r

Abstract:
The production of membranous vesicles is observed to occur among organisms from all domains of the tree of life spanning prokaryotes (bacteria, archaea) and eukaryotes (plants, animals and fungi). Bacterial release of membrane-derived vesicles (MVs) has been studied most extensively in cases of Gram-negative species and implicating their outer membrane in formation of extracellular MVs. However, recent studies focusing on Gram-positive bacteria have established that they also undergo MV formation. Membrane vesicles are released during normal bacterial growth, they are derived from the bacteria
