Membrane processing of fermented fish waste for enrichment of bioactives

Development of a scalable, flow-through membrane-based processing platform for producing enriched fractions of bioactives from marine by-product extracts generated by bacterial fermentation. The proposed technology uses the conventional membrane filtration approach using pressure in tandem with applied voltage for increasing the value and application of the sustainably sourced, bioprocessed crude fish by-product protein extracts. Peptide […]

Rôle du calcium dans l’effet toxique de la désoxynivalenol dans des modèles in vitro de cellules intestinales et hépatiques

La mycotoxine désoxynivalénol (DON), chez le porc, entraine entre autre l’anorexie et l’affaiblissement de la réponse immunitaire. L’alimentation animale est mondialement contaminée par le DON. Le développement de stratégie antimycotoxine se bute au manque de compréhension de l’action du DON. L’hypothèse de la stimulation par le DON de l’axe neuroendocrinien Intestin-cerveau qui conduit à un […]

Multi-channel Fluidic Cartridges for Parallel Nanopore Sensing

Solid-state nanopores are tiny holes in thin membranes comparable to the size of individual biomolecules like protein or DNA. They are using as sensors to detect these molecules one at a time, and have the potential to revolutionize DNA sequencing, personalized medicine, point-of-care diagnostics, and next-generation information storage methods, but have not been able to […]

Comparative genomic analysis of Bradyrhizobium strains with natural variability: efficiency and competitiveness implications

A major challenge facing farmers is obtaining the nitrogen needed to support plant growth. Inoculation of legume crops with rhizobia, which supply plants with the required nitrogen, is a green alternative to environmentally hazardous nitrogen-fertilizers. However, rhizobia vary in their effectiveness, and the success of inoculants depends on their ability to outcompete native and poorly-effective […]

Characterization of thermophilic ?-Mannanase of Thermomyces lanuginosus for production of health promoting prebiotics from agro-waste products.

This research proposal deals with characterization of thermophilic ?-Mannanase of Thermomyces lanuginosus and using this enzyme for hydrolysis of natural mannan to produce prebiotic MOS (Mannooligosaccharides). Alternative routes for the utilization of agricultural by-products are of interest because the economic value of these by-products as animal feed compounds is decreasing. MOS are non-digestible sugar oligomers […]

Single-molecule analytics of RNA/DNA drug constructs interacting with RNA targets and with lipid nanoparticle delivery vehicles

In this project, the interns will develop a new set of tools and techniques to provide new scientific insights into the detailed interactions that occur between drug and target molecules in the human body. Understanding of these interactions is critical to design better, more effective, and more precisely targeted drugs. The problem is that current […]

Plant growth response to growth promoting rhizobacteria

Numerous species of soil bacteria flourish in the rhizosphere of plants, which may grow in, on, or around plant tissues and stimulate plant growth by a plethora of mechanisms. These bacteria are collectively known as plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). Bacillus velezensis is a PGPR that promotes plant growth, enhances drought stress tolerance, and suppresses […]

Development of a breeding database for the application of omics technologies in canola variety development

Next generation plant breeding requires bringing together many different types and sources of information about different plant varieties, including their genetic information together with how well they grow in different environments. The best ways to organize and integrate these sources of information within a plant breeding program is not well known. In this project, we […]

Exploration of inhibitors metabolization and their effect on Rhodosporidium toruloides

Lignocellulosic biomass has been widely accepted as a alternative and inexpensive substrate for biofuel production. The liquid hydrolysate generated from biomass contain sugars (such as glucose, xylose, fructose, arabinose and galactose) and inhibitors (such as furans, organic acids and phenols). However, inhibitors generally alters the sugar consumption, growth profile and metabolic activities of microorganisms. Hence, […]

Développement de nouvelles stratégies pour le traitement des bactéries résistantes à l’aide d’ionophores

La résistance aux antibiotiques est considérée par l’organisation mondiale de la santé comme une des plus grandes menaces pesant sur la santé mondiale. En effet la capacité de certaines bactéries à s’adapter et à devenir résistante aux traitements précédemment efficaces est effrayante. Le développement de nouvelles méthodes pour traiter ces bactéries résistantes aux antibiotiques est […]

Simulation and modifications of an industrial scale dehydrator

CanDry is currently in R&D stage developing a dehydrator for drying organic and in-organic materials. A prototype is built for testing purposes which will help to design a good quality product. For modifying the design of prototype, we need to simulate the electromagnetic behaviour of the system and run multiple tests to compare the simulation […]
