Exploitation of Our Intestinal Microbiota (MICROBESINSIDE)

Date du début: 1 juin 2010, Date de fin: 31 mai 2015,

Our intestinal tract is colonized by a myriad of microbes that exceed our body cells in number and coding capacity and have important metabolic and signaling functions. Analysis of the diversity of these microbes inside revealed more than 1000 species, some of which have developed intimate interactions that are operating at the mucus interface separating the intestinal and microbial cells. Notably ...

"Neutralizing antibodies against botulinum toxins A,B,E" (ANTIBOTABE)

Date du début: 1 sept. 2010, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2015,

"Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs), the most toxic substances known, are susceptible for use as bioweapons (listed as class A agents by CDC). Currently licensed animal derived antibodies or F(ab’)2 preparations, are at a high risk of inducing adverse effects and their privately-owned stockpiles are limited. In this project, we will target the most lethal types of BoNTs: A (subtypes A1 and A2), B (B1 a ...

Securing the Conservation of biodiversity across Administrative Levels and spatial, temporal, and Ecological Scales (SCALES)

Date du début: 1 mai 2009, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2014,

Our capacity to effectively sustain biodiversity across spatial and temporal scales is an essential component of European environmental sustainability. Anthropogenic and environmental pressures on biodiversity act differently at different scales. Consequently, effective conservation responses to these threats must explicitly consider the scale at which effects occur, and therefore it is crucial th ...

Interplay of microbiota and gut function in the developing pig – Innovative avenues towards sustainable animal production (INTERPLAY)

Date du début: 1 sept. 2009, Date de fin: 31 août 2013,

"Low input farming occurs under non-SPF (specific pathogen free) conditions. The European ban on in-feed antibiotics exposes the piglets to a higher microbial environmental pressure. The postnatal priming of piglets with a diverse microbiota may affect the development of the piglet’s host-defense and gut functionality. By reversal, the piglets developing host-defense may affect the development of ...

Novel high-performance enzymes and micro-organisms for conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to bioethanol (NEMO)

Date du début: 1 mai 2009, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2013,

The NEMO project provides novel efficient enzymes and microbes for 2nd generation bioethanol production. It generates through metabolic engineering and mutagenesis & screening approaches robust yeast strains that have a broad substrate range and can (co-)ferment C6 and C5 sugars to ethanol with high productivity (rate and yield), and that are significantly more stress tolerant, i.e. inhibitor, eth ...

"Wood Bark and Peat Based Bioactive Compounds, Speciality Chemicals, and Remediation Materials: from Innovations to Applications" (FORESTSPECS)

Date du début: 1 mai 2009, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2012,

"The production of fine and industrial chemicals and bioactive compounds based on renewable, naturally occurring raw materials has become an exciting research topic, but so far only few studies concern side products of the forest industry. We will focus on bark and on peat. Bark is a high-volume waste product, currently largely unutilised as a raw material. Northern Europe and Russia have abundant ...

OLIGOPEPTIDASE INHIBITORS IN BRAIN FUNCTION AND DYSFUNCTION: TOWARDS NEW THERAPEUTIC STRATEGIES FOR NEUROPROTECTION (NEUROPRO)

Date du début: 1 oct. 2008, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2012,

"At present more than 5 million people in the EU suffer from dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases and that number will grow as the average age of the population continues to increase. The efficacy of current medicines is limited and new therapeutic targets are sorely needed. Several independent lines of evidence have established an important role of prolyl oligopeptidase (PREP) in brain f ...

Date du début: 1 sept. 2008, Date de fin: 29 févr. 2012,

"European soil biodiversity is pivotal for delivering food, fiber and biofuels and carbon storage. However, the demand is greater than the amount of soil available, as production of biofuels competes with areas for food production and nature. Moreover, intensified land use reduces soil biodiversity and the resulting ecosystem services. SOILSERVICE will value soil biodiversity through the impact on ...

Trimeric Bacterial Autotransporters (TrimBAt)

Date du début: 1 juil. 2008, Date de fin: 30 juin 2010,

Bacterial adhesins play a crucial role in pathogen-host interactions, initiating infections by adhesion to the extracellular matrix and to cell surface proteins prior to invasion. A family of non-fimbrial adhesins, the trimeric autotransporter adhesins (TAAs), has recently been described in gram-negative pathogens. The common biological role of all these TAAs is to mediate the interaction of patho ...
