▼ Fragestellung war, ob BMP-2 im
Geflechtknochengewebe der Pars Petrosa des Os Temporale eine
knocheninduzierende Wirkung, gleich der im Lamellenknochengewebe,
besitzt. Außerdem galt es zu prüfen, ob diese Wirkung durch die
Immobilisation auf Titan aufgehoben bzw. reduziert wird. Es wurden
18 Kaninchen jeweils in jedes Mittelohr nach Entfernen der
Gehörknöchelchen ein Titankörper implantiert. Die Implantate wurden
teils mit BMP-2 beschichtet, teils wurde es löslich zugesetzt. Es
kamen zwei Konzentrationen zum Einsatz. Nach zwei Standzeiten von
sechs bzw. zwölf Wochen wurden die Prüfkörper explantiert. Es wurde
die Knochenneubildung um das Implantat herum mittels des
Spaltüberbrückungsversuches durch histomorphometrische und
mikroradiographische Analyse quantifiziert. Es konnte
Knochenneubildung um die BMP-2-beschichteten Implantate herum
nachgewiesen werden. Weder die Art der BMP-2- Zugabe noch die
Konzentration spielten eine Rolle für das Ausmaß der
Knochenneubildung.

▼ The onset of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) will challenge water utilities to
further reduce their wastewater phosphorus discharges to < 0.5 mg.L-
1
. Whilst
conventional treatments, such as chemical dosing, are able to meet these new discharge
consents, the strategies are representative of a linear economy model where resources are
unrecovered and disposed.
An alternative solution which can contribute to the aspiration of a circular economy is
microalgae. Microalgae are ubiquitous in wastewater environments and assimilate
phosphorus during their growth, to residual concentrations complementary of the WFD.
Furthermore, microalgal biomass can be anaerobically digested to produce biomethane
offering the potential for an energy neutral approach. However, uptake of microalgal
systems are lacking in the UK through limited knowledge of operation; and the belief that
such solutions are synonymous to large, shallow open ponds with extensive treatment
times. The development of alternative microalgal reactors are increasingly investigated
to overcome these implementation challenges. Of these, immobilised microalgae has
shown great potential; and whilst within its infancy demonstrates the greatest opportunity
for development and optimisation.
This thesis determines the critical operational parameters that influence the remediation
efficacy of immobilised microalgae for tertiary nutrient removal; including species
selection, biomass concentration, treatment period and lighting; with recommendations
for optimal performance. These recommendations are then applied to the design and
operation of an immobilised bioreactor (IBR) to understand the key design and operating
components that influence the overall economic viability. In doing so, the potential for an
IBR to be economically viable, within the next decade, in comparison to traditional
approaches are discussed.

▼ Amyloid fibrils are an insoluble, highly ordered, fibrous protein structure, which have increasingly been recognised as having bionanotechnology applications. Their ability to selfassemble allows a bottom-up approach to material design. Their nanometre dimensions affords them a high surface-to-volume ratio and their proteinaceous building blocks from which they are assembled allow for decoration with biomolecules and chemicals through amino acid residues. Amyloid fibrils are therefore a potential nanoscaffold for immobilisation of biomolecules.
Immobilisation offers a solution to the problems associated with the use of enzymes in in vitro applications, by increasing their stability, reusability, and in some cases, enhancing catalytic activity. Nanosupports offer a high surface-to-volume ratio compared to classical planar 2-D supports, potentially affording them dramatic increases in immobilisation capacity.
To investigate the potential of amyloid fibrils as a novel nanoscaffold, organophosphate hydrolase (OPH), cytochrome P450BM3 (P450BM3), green fluorescent protein (GFP), tobacco
etch virus protease (TEV), and glucose oxidase (GOD) were immobilised in solution to the model amyloid fibril forming protein, bovine insulin. Covalently immobilised OPH was found to have a ~300 % increase in relative thermostability at 40 and 50 °C. P450BM3 was not successfully immobilised in its active state, most likely due to unfolding of the enzyme on the amyloid fibril surface. Covalently immobilised GFP retained full fluorescence and acted as a fluorescent protein tag. TEV was shown to have a physical interaction with the nanoscaffold and retain activity. GOD was immobilised and retained activity. Although not all proteins retained activity, a range of different protein structures were successfully immobilised onto the insulin amyloid fibril nanoscaffold. Attachment to the crystallin amyloid fibril nanoscaffold remains a work in progress due to the complexities associated with post-translational modifications of these fibrils. Crystallin amyloid fibrils were assembled on a surface for the first time. Their surface assembled structure was found to resemble spherulites, not previously seen before with crystallin amyloid fibrils.
Bovine insulin amyloid fibrils were assembled on the surface of glass beads to increase the available surface area for biomolecule immobilisation. The surface assembled bovine insulin nanoscaffold was first functionalised with GOD, demonstrating that the nanoscaffold provides more surface area for biomolecule immobilisation, although in this case the increase was limited due to high non-specific binding of GOD to the unmodified glass
surface. GFP was successfully employed as a fluorescent protein tag to assess the degree of nanoscaffold coverage, confirming the nanoscaffold affords the glass bead a greater surface area. Moreover, a reusable immobilised TEV protease-bead system was developed that was able to sequentially cleave the poly-histidine tags of three different proteins.

▼ The objective of this research was to determine a set of commonly available chemical restraint options which produced safe, reliable and repeatable immobilisation for estuarine crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) under varying environmental conditions to enable any procedure to be undertaken safely and humanely. This study has shown that the site of an intramuscular (IM) injection of medetomidine and alfaxalone did impact the onset, duration and character of immobilisation, with the fore limb musculature being the preferred site of injection. Medetomidine as a sole agent was effective and even at low temperatures the drug was able to be antagonised using atipamezole. At optimal temperatures the immobilisation it produced was consistent, reliable and repeatable. It also showed that it is able to be scaled allometrically and used successfully on animals between 5 kg and 400 kg in body weight. Atipamezole consistently and reliably antagonised the immobilisation regardless of temperature. Alfaxalone was included in the study to investigate the effect of temperature on the duration and quality of immobilisation. The study using midazolam demonstrated its benefit in minimising changes to stress indicators such as lactate, pH and bicarbonate compared with physically restrained animals. As a result of this research, medetomidine has become the drug of choice for immobilisation of estuarine crocodiles for short term restraint or minor procedures. The other important contribution this research has made to the future of crocodile immobilisation is to demonstrate that temperature has a predictable effect on performance of drugs, but that below the broad preferred range for the species drugs perform very poorly. This research has improved the safety and welfare of immobilisation of crocodiles.

The use of catalysts generally requires the immobilisation of the catalyst at specific locations, a requirement that can pose a significant challenge. The use of mesoporous silicate materials as supports offers some valuable advantages and can provide a more stable environment for catalysts. In this instance, this project was focused on the preparation, characterisation and optimization of immobilized catalysts (enzyme and metal based) for applications in organic reactions. The goal is to obtain an optimal catalytic performance combined with long-term operational stability. In order to achieve this goal, a detailed understanding of the solid supports, the catalysts, and of the immobilization process is essential.
Cytochrome c and Candida antartica lipase B (CALB) were immobilised on to the mesoporous silicate SBA-15 and a porous spherical silicate material (PPS) in order to determine the influence of differences in the properties of supports such as pore volume, surface area and morphology on factors such as loading, activity and stability of enzymes. The catalytic activity of cytochrome c was similar on both supports, while the loading and catalytic activity of CALB on SBA-15 was higher when compared to PPS. These results indicate that the amount of adsorbed enzyme and activity are a reflection of the different surface areas, pore shapes and pore volumes of the two materials. Leaching of the enzyme from the support can result in substantial losses in activity, particularly on reuse. To overcome this disadvantage, it is necessary to utilise surface modification of the silica support to specifically bind the immobilised enzyme. In order to explore this effect, covalent attachment of Nickel/Cobalt-cyclam onto MCF were examined. The amount of cyclam modified onto the surface of MCF increased as the amounts of starting materials were increased. Ni/Co-cyclam modified materials were tested for their ability to immobilise His6-alanine racemase (HT-AlaR). The catalytic activity of immobilized HT-AlaR was comparable to the free enzyme and also maintained its activity after 5 cycles.
After successfully immobilising cytochrome c, lipase CALB and HT-AlaR on silicate materials by physical adsorption and covalent methods, the next step was to utilize these methods to immobilize glucose oxidase. Numerous experiments were performed to immobilise glucose oxidase. The aim was to prepare highly active and stable biocatalysts which have capability to work in extreme reaction conditions.
After examined immobilisation of GOx using physical adsorption, covalent bonding and cross linking methods. GOx immobilized by cross linking methods offers many advantages such as high activity and operational stability over other methods.
The synthesis and characterisation of the manganese (Mn) complex 4,7-dimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclonone (DMTACN) immobilised on mesoporous silica was performed. FT-IR, Elemental analysis and X-Ray photoelectron spectra indicated the presence of catalytic species in an active conformation. Under the…

▼ Abstract
Bisphosphonates (BPs) are used in the treatment of osteoporosis. However, their effects, especially long-term effects, on
bone and bone healing are not fully known. Clodronate (dichloromethylene bisphosphonic acid) is a first-generation BP.
The thesis was based on two animal experiments. The first, with 199 rats on long-term clodronate treatment, was divided into
four separate substudies. The effects of long-term administration of clodronate to rats were investigated after 32 weeks of
treatment. The effects on the femoral shaft, femoral neck and vertebra in normal, non-osteoporotic skeleton were described in two
publications. The evaluations were made by biomechanical, densitometric, histological, hematological and electron-microscopic
investigations. Fracture healing was investigated in rats after 24 weeks of clodronate treatment. The tibia was fractured, and the
effects of treatments were evaluated at 4 and 8 weeks after the fracture. Radiographs and densitometric pQCT in the evaluation of
experimental fracture healing were compared. In the other experiment with 30 mice, a mouse immobilisation osteoporosis model for
further studies was investigated.
Long-term administration of clodronate at therapeutic dosage had no harmful impacts but rather some beneficial effects on
normal, non-osteoporotic bone. However, long-term high-dose clodronate treatment resulted in a decrement of tibial length but did
not have any other significant or adverse effects. In the evaluation of fracture healing, pQCT proved to be better than radiographs
in differentiating the total mineralised cross-sectional area of callus and the area of compact bone. Clodronate treatment does not
seem to prolong the fracture healing process, even when administered on a long-term basis before the fracture. Clodronate increased
the size of callus, but had only a minor effect on its biomechanical properties. Three weeks of hind limb immobilization caused
local osteopenia in the tibia when compared to its contralateral leg.
In conclusion, this thesis suggests that long-term administration of clodronate at therapeutic dosage has no harmful, but
rather some beneficial effects on normal, non-osteoporotic bone. However, a fivefold dose of clodronate causes a slight decrease in
the growth of tibial length. Healing of fractures during or after clodronate treatment is not inhibited.

▼ The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of chemical stabilization technique on arsenic (As) contaminated soil amended with metallic or zerovalent iron (Fe0) and combination of Fe0 and peat by laboratory and pilot scale field experiments. The used iron amendments were spent blasting sand (BS), a by-product from a steel industry containing 98.3% of Fe0, and its combination with peat.A pilot scale landfill cover was built at Brännkläppen landfill in Northern Sweden. The untreated and treated As-contaminated soils were used as a 2 m thick vegetation/protection layer of the landfill top cover. The main exposure pathways concerning risks to human health and the environment were studied by analysing leachates from field, soil pore water, As fractionation in soil, phytotoxicity and bioaccessibility. Using the bioaccessibility results, a bioavailability of As to humans was calculated.The results showed that the stabilization of As-contaminated soil with a combination of Fe0 and peat significantly reduced the As concentration in soil pore water, uptake by plants and improved the main morphological parameters of plants. The soil treatment also reduced the bioaccessibility and the bioavailability of As indicating the reduced risks to human health. Nevertheless, the soil treatment using Fe and peat only works under oxidizing soil conditions. Leachates collected in field below the 2 m layer showed an increased As concentration in the water percolating through the treated soil profiles over time, when compared to the leachate collected under the untreated soil.These results point out an importance of maintaining oxidizing conditions in the soil treated with Fe amendments in order to retain the positive impact of the soil treatment on As immobilization in soil. Soil layer containing the stabilized soil should be used only in the very top layer of the landfill cover.

▼ L’objectif était de développer et d’utiliser des nanoparticules hybrides de type«coeur-écorce» composées d’un coeur de silice dense entouré par des chaînes polymères fonctionnalisées par des ligands d’ATRP comme support catalytique pour la polymérisation du MMA par ATRP. Deux stratégies de synthèse de nanoparticules hybrides ont été élaborées. La première a consisté à immobiliser sur un support de silice, d’une manière covalente, des chaînes fonctionnelles synthétisées par NMP comportant des ligands capables de complexer le bromure de cuivre. Des nanoparticules de [email protected]ère fonctionnel ayant de faibles densités de greffage en polymère ont été ciblées afin d’éviter leur recouvrement sur la surface. Cependant, les polymérisations n’étaient pas contrôlées probablement à cause d’un manque d’accessibilité de l’amorceur et des radicaux propageants aux complexes decuivre. Afin de rendre les catalyseurs supportés plus accessibles en solution, nous avons élaboré une seconde stratégie basée sur un système catalytique hybride réversible. Il consiste à immobiliser des chaînes α-fonctionnalisées par un motif donneur-accepteur de proton(DAD) via des liaisons hydrogène sur des particules de silice modifiées par un motif complémentaire (ADA). Des PMMA de masses molaires contrôlées ont été synthétisés avec des dispersités plus faibles que celles obtenues en ATRP homogène (en présence des chaînes libres). Après séparation du catalyseur du milieu réactionnel par centrifugation, nous avons montré qu’avec un excès du motif ADA, 96% du cuivre initialement introduit ont été récupérés.
The aim of this project is to develop hybrid nanoparticles bearing well definedpolymer arms as supported catalyst for the atom transfer radical polymerization of methylmethacrylate. This new generation of “semi heterogeneous" catalysts was prepared by twostrategies. The first consisted of immobilizing the polymer arms bearing the ligands enablingcoordination of copper bromide onto silica particles by covalent bonds. Hybrid nanoparticleswith low polymer grafting density were targeted to prevent the overlapping of chains on thesurface. Unfortunately, the polymerizations were not controlled probably due to a lack ofaccessibility of the initiator and propagating radicals to the copper complexes. To improve theaccessibility, a reversibly supported catalyst was developed via self-assembly using hydrogenbonding between chains α-functionalized by a proton donor-acceptor unit (DAD) and acomplementary unit (ADA) anchored on silica particles. These new hybrid materials wereefficient in the controlled radical polymerization of MMA, yielding polymers with controlledmolecular weights and dispersities narrower than those obtained for homogeneous ATRP.Moreover, after catalyst separation from the reaction medium by centrifugation, more than96% of the originally used copper was recovered.

▼ Wild animal capture has progressed over the years
from trapping or physical capture, which was dangerous to both
animal and man, to chemical immobilization. Opioids and
butyrophenones are the most common classes of drugs used for
ungulate immobilization; however newer drugs and drug combinations
are commonly used in an attempt to reduce time to immobilization in
wildlife. The enzyme hyaluronidase is often added to drug
combinations in the belief that it reduces time to immobilization
by improving drug absorption. The primary objective of this study
was to ascertain if the addition of hyaluronidase to an etorphine
and azaperone drug combination would be of value in reducing time
to immobilization in blue wildebeest. The study also tried to
ascertain if the added hyaluronidase enabled one to reduce the
etorphine and azaperone doses required to immobilize blue
wildebeest, without affecting time to immobilization. The study
made use of a four-way cross-over study design, with four treatment
groups, four sequences and four periods. The four treatment groups
were etorphine and azaperone; etorphine, azaperone and 5000
international units (IU) hyaluronidase; etorphine, azaperone and
7500 IU hyaluronidase; and 75 % of the original etorphine dose, 75%
of the original azaperone dose and 7500 IU hyaluronidase. Each
animal was immobilized with each of the above four drug
combinations randomly over an eight week period with a two week
interval between each period. The times to first effect, first down
and immobilization were recorded. The etorphine and azaperone
treatment group was used as the control group. The difference in
time to first effect between the control group and the etorphine,
azaperone and 7500 IU hyaluronidase treatment group was
statistically significant (95 seconds versus 67 seconds; p =
0.007). When compared to the time to immobilization in the control
group (323 seconds) the time to immobilization in the etrophine,
azaperone and 5000 IU hyaluronidase (228 seconds); etorphine,
azaperone and 7500 IU hyaluronidase (210 seconds) and the low dose
etorphine, low dose azaperone and 7500 IU hyaluronidase (268
seconds) groups were statistically significantly reduced (p=0.002,
p=0.001 and p=0.045 respectively). It is therefore concluded that
the addition of 5000 or 7500 IU hyaluronidase to an etorphine and
azaperone combination significantly reduced the time to
immobilization in blue wildebeest. The unexpected decrease in time
to immobilization in the low dose etorphine, low dose azaperone and
7500 IU hyaluronidase treatment group requires further
investigation.

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: ß-Galactosidase of Escherichia coli is the equivalent of lactase in humans and
has the ability to bind and hydrolyse lactose. Lactase de ciency is a common
phenomenon present in almost 70% of the world's population. This has
resulted in greater than before demands on the food processing industry to
develop a method that will allow for the hydrolysis of the disaccharide lactose
in milk but will also allow for the removal of the remaining active enzyme.
In this thesis, a new method, that is bio-speci c and well characterized
for the removal of lactose from a lactose containing solution, is described.
The E537D mutated version of ß-Galactosidase, which has a much lower
activity compared to the wildtype and is able to bio-speci cally bind lactose
for longer periods, was covalently immobilised to commercially available
magnetic nanoparticles (fl uidMAG-Amine) via two coupling strategies. Glutaraldehyde
is a cross-linking agent that reacts with amine groups, while N-
(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) is a coupling
agent that activates carboxylic groups. These agents are widely used for
the coupling of biomolecules to solid supports.
The covalently coupled fluidMAG-E537D ß-Galactosidase particles were
characterized regarding retained enzymatic activity and ability to bind and
physically remove lactose from a lactose containing solution by applying an
external magnetic eld, after lactose binding, to the enzyme-particle complex
in solution.
Each component aimed at yielding this functionally immobilised enzyme
complex was studied and optimized to contribute to the development of this
novel technique, which is a ordable and simple, for the removal of lactose from
solution for the ultimate production of lactose free milk.
Results indicated the glutaraldehyde method of ß-Gal cross-linking to fluidMAG-Amine
to be the preferred strategy since it allowed an increased carrier capacity
of protein to the particles. The glutaraldehyde cross-linked protein also exhibited
a two-fold higher activity than the EDC coupled protein. Furthermore,
the glutaraldehyde cross-linked fluidMAG-E537D ß-Gal was able to physically
remove 34 % of the lactose from a 0.2 nmol/L lactose in solution. This, therefore,
con rmed the potential use of this novel technique in the food processing
industry.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: ß-Galaktosidase vanaf Escherichia coli is dieselfde as laktase in mense en beskik
oor die vermoë om laktose te bind en te hidroliseer. 'n Gebrek aan laktase
kom algemeen voor en ongeveer 70 % van die wêreldbevolking ly hieraan. Laasgenoemde
het daartoe gelei dat daar meer druk as vantevore op die voedselproduksie
industrie is om 'n metode te ontwikkel waarmee die hidrolise van
die disakkaried laktose in melk moontlik sal wees asook die verwydering van
die oorblywende aktiewe ensiem.
In hierdie tesis word 'n nuwe metode beskryf wat biospesi ek en goed gekarakteriseer
is vir die verwydering van laktose vanuit 'n laktose bevattende
oplossing.…

They are, however, limited by their structural instability and require restrictive environmental conditions that are often not compatible with industrial processing. As such, new technologies are required to protect enzymes from non-biological conditions. This thesis investigates enzyme
immobilisation using porous frameworks including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs). The diverse nature of both the enzyme and MOF/HOF components offers great potential for creating a broad library of biocomposites with novel function. There are however inherent challenges in finding appropriate conditions for
immobilisation in which the enzyme remains active, and where the overall biocomposite is stable. Initial studies utilised Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework 8 (ZIF-8), a subclass of MOFs, for protein
immobilisation. The addition of biomacromolecules, such as proteins, can promote the self-assembly of ZIF-8 by a process known as “biomimetic mineralisation”. Systematic screening studies established that this process is biomacromolecule dependent, with a subset of proteins requiring the addition of organic solvent or increased ligand concentrations to promote ZIF-8 nucleation. These reaction conditions were also instrumental in controlling the topology, morphology, and particle size of the biocomposites. Investigations into the influence of the protein revealed that biomimetic mineralisation is governed by the surface chemistry of the biomacromolecules, with a more negative surface charge promoting rapid nucleation, resulting from enhanced zinc ion concentration at the surface. Chemical functionalisation can be implemented, to alter the electrostatic potential of the protein surface and control the biomimetic mineralisation process. The biocomposites from different
immobilisation strategies for ZIF-8 were assessed for biocatalytic activity using two distinct enzymes, a lipase, and a dehalogenase. The activity was analysed relative to the free enzyme to interrogate the impact of
immobilisation on the function and stability of the biocatalyst. Variation in support stability and biocomposite activity were observed. Each were dependent on the method of
immobilisation with some strategies yielding inactive or unstable biocomposites. For lipase, the ZIF-8 framework provided enzymatic stability to organic solvent, whilst the framework itself was susceptible to degradation by phosphate buffer. In the case of the dehalogenase biocomposite, substrate dependent crystal degradation was observed that was deemed responsible for variations in the observed enzyme activity. These findings highlight the potential limitations of ZIF-8 for enzyme
immobilisation and as such, alternative porous supports were targeted. Framework chemistry and porosity were further investigated utilising Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-90 (ZIF-90) and…

▼ Les biopiles enzymatiques sont considérés comme des systèmes potentiellement utilisables pour la production d'énergie renouvelable dans des marchés niches. Une biopile est constituée de deux électrodes associées à des enzymes, catalyseurs biologiques, qui permettent la production d'énergie électrique à partir de réactions chimiques d'oxydoréduction. Ce travail présente la réalisation d'une biopile alcool/oxygène, au sein de laquelle l'alcool est oxydé à l'anode par l'alcool déshydrogénase alors que l'oxygène moléculaire est réduit en eau à la cathode par l'enzyme laccase, en présence de médiateurs spécifiques. L'objectif de ce travail a été tout d'abord de développer des bioélectrodes avec des enzymes immobilisées de manière à minimiser la quantité de biocatalyseur et augmenter sa stabilité. Dans un second temps, l'assemblage de biocathodes et de bioanodes a permis de fabriquer des biopiles à alcool macroscopique et microfluidique. Différentes poudres de carbone combinées à des polymères ont été utilisées pour immobiliser les enzymes et les médiateurs par encapsulation selon diverses configurations. Des analyses électrochimiques ont permis de mettre en évidence l'influence importante de certains paramètres comme la nature du carbone et du polymère, le pH et la température sur les performances des bioélectrodes. Une fois assemblées dans les configurations classique ou microfluidique, ces bioélectrodes ont conduit à des systèmes électrochimiques de génération d'énergie délivrant une densité de puissance maximale de 300μW/cm2 à 0,61V pour la biopile macroscopique et de 45μW/cm2 à 0,5V pour le système microfluidique.
Enzymatic biofuel cells (BFC) are systems of great interest for the production of renewable energy in niche markets. A BFC consists of two electrodes associated with enzymes as catalysts allowing energy production from oxydoreduction reactions. This work is devoted to the development of an alcohol/oxygen BFC for which alcohol is oxidized at the anode by alcohol dehydrogenase while molecular oxygen is reduced to water at the cathode by laccase, in the presence of specific mediators. The objective of this work was first to develop bioelectrodes with immobilized enzymes in order to minimize the amount of biocatalyst and increase its stability. In a second step, biocathodes and bioanodes were assembled to make macroscopic and microfluidic alcohol BFCs. Various carbon powders combined to polymers were used to immobilize enzymes and mediators in various configurations by entrapment. Electrochemical analysis have highlighted the significant influence of certain parameters like the nature of polymer and carbon, the pH or the temperature on the bioelectrodes performances. Once assembled in classical or microfluidic configurations, these bioelectrode led to electrochemical energy generation systems delivering a maximum power density of 300μW/cm2 at 0,61V for the macroscopic BFC and 45μW/cm2 at 0,5V for the microfluidic system.

▼ A great deal of research is being undertaken globally on the viability of alternative energy sources given the potential effects of climate change and increases in oil prices. Energy cropping is one of many emerging technologies for producing renewable energy that is being widely researched around the world, and is in fullscale production in some countries. Abandoned contaminated land, awaiting remediation is another major global problem. This masters thesis studies the potential re-use of abandoned metal contaminated land for growing ‘energy crops’ at a field site in China. Thus, with a potential to not only find an economical way to re-use and rehabilitate contaminated sites, but also to produce potentially ‘carbon neutral’ renewable sources of energy. The aim of this research is to examine the viability of growing different types of energy crops on metal contaminated land using chemical amendments. This study has involved laboratory phytotoxicity tests, pot experiments and a field demonstration trial. The site selected for this project is located near Fuyang in Zhejiang province, People’s Republic of China and is located adjacent to a former copper smelter. The four energy crops trialled at the field site are sweet sorghum, sugar cane, Chinese sumac and vetiver grass. Chinese sumac and sweet sorghum were also used in the pot experiments. The methodology has involved trialling a combination of chemical treatments to immobilise the available metals in the soil in order to alleviate toxicity to the crops, along with the selection of locally available crop species which are tolerant to the soil conditions. The chemical treatments trialled included the addition of three different clay minerals (attapulgite, bentonite and zeolite), phosphate rock and lime.
The surface soils at the site are contaminated with metals (predominantly copper and zinc). All soils used in the laboratory experiments were from the site at Fuyang and were collected from the plot which has a high available copper
concentration (2.63 mg/kg) (by sodium nitrate extraction) and a pH of approximately 6.1 in order to observe a ‘worst case’ scenario. The standard barley root elongation tests, based on International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) 11269-1,1993, were undertaken to observe the short-term effects of various treatments of the Fuyang soil, with respect to alleviating phytotoxicity to barley, and with the aim to determine the most effective amendment(s) or their combination. The aim of the pot experiments was to study the long-term effects on the crops using the Fuyang soil combined with the most
effective amendments determined following the root elongation tests. The objective of the field trial was to study the long-term effects on the energy crops at an actual site with metal contaminated soils and observe plant biomass and metal accumulation using selected amendments based on the laboratory experiments over one harvest period. Lime was the most effective amendment trialled at decreasing available copper and zinc concentrations and…

▼ L'un des avantages majeurs des réactions de bioconversion résulte du fait que le milieu réactionnel des biocatalyseurs est l'eau. Ce dit avantage constitue l'une des principales limitations de ces réactions de bioconversion lorsqu'il s'agit de substances lipophiles non solubles dans l'eau connue les stérols. L'efficacité d'un procédé de bioconversion de substances lipophiles solides dépend essentiellement du contact et de 1'interaction entre le biocatalyseur et ce substrat lipophile. Les solutions proposées dans la littérature font appel à des solvants et des produits chimiques de natures souvent toxiques, inflammables et explosives. Ces solutions décrites font perdre à la bioconversion son caractère de biotechnologie blanche. Dans ce travail, nous avons montré qu'en plus de ses avantages connus, l'immobilisation passive de biocatalyseurs au sein d'un support poreux peut favoriser l'interaction cellule-substrat lipophile et augmenter le taux de bioconversion sans utiliser de solvants et de produits chimiques. La réaction modèle étudiée est le clivage de la chaine latérale des stérols par des mycobactéries en vue de l'obtention des androsténones précurseurs naturels des stéroïdes, molécules à forte valeur biologique ajoutée. Le support d'immobilisation le plus performant a été le fruit sec de Luffa cylindrica. Par rapport aux supports organiques classiques tels que les gels de polyacrylamide, les mousses de polyuréthane, la silicone et les plastiques, le fruit sec de Luffa cylindrica présente les avantages suivants : (i) c'est un produit naturel, (ii) biodégradable, (iii) peu onéreux, (iv) non toxique pour les microorganismes, (v) stable du point de vue mécanique et thermique, (vi) et réutilisable.
One of the major advantages of using biocatalysts in organic synthesis is that water constitutes the reaction medium. However, water becomes a serious problem when bioconversion deals with lipophilic compounds, in particular those poorly soluble in water such as sterols. Bioconversion of lipophilic compounds depends on the close contact between the hydrophobic substrate and the biocatalyst. Increasing this contact requires usually the use of huge amounts of chemical which are often toxic, flammable and explosive. In this work, we showed that passive cell immobilization in porous materials can increase the contact between microorganisms and lipophilic substrates without using chemicals. The side chain cleavage of sterols was studied as a model multistep microbial bioconversion of lipophilic compounds. This reaction allows the production of androstenones which are the natural precursors of steroids. Among the studied immobilization carriers, the dried fruit of Luffa cylindrica was the most efficient Compared to other organic support carrier such as alginate beads, polyurethane foams, silicones and plastics, the dried fruit of Luffa cylindrica is advantageous since it is natural, renewable, biodegradable, cheap, mechanically strong, free of toxicity and it doesn't need a chemical pretreatment.

▼ Recently, biocatalysis has become an interesting alternative for conventional industrial processes. Enzyme reactions are highly selective and fast, and can be performed under ambient conditions. A drawback of the use of enzymes is their fragile nature. Stirring, high temperature, or solvents can cause deactivation. Also separation of the free enzyme from the reaction medium is difficult. Therefore, enzymes are generally used in an immobilized form on particulate carriers. This can still cause problems regarding mechanical strength and separation, or additional problems associated with the use in packed beds (pressure drop) or mass transport limitations inside the support-particle (possible pH-gradients). In the present study, different enzymes were immobilized onto ceramic monoliths. Monoliths can be seen as a bundle of small channels, and were originally developed for gas-phase applications. Advantages of the monoliths compared to conventional reactor types include a low pressure drop over the reactor, high mechanical strength, high available surface area, easy separation. Two types of monoliths were employed: the classical cordierite monolith and the ACM monolith, with a porous channel wall. It can be concluded that different enzymes can be (reversible) immobilized onto the monolithic support, to yield active biocatalysts. The monolithic biocatalysts were applied in different reactors; the monolithic stirrer reactor and the monolithic loop reactor. Finally, a new carrier material was explored, consisting of carbon nano fibers (CNF) on the monolith channel wall, which could also be promising for metal catalysts.

▼ Shape memory polymers (SMP) have been of great interest in biomedical applications due to their unique ability to recover a primary shape by external actuation. Shape memory polyurethanes (SMPU) have also been widely studied as implant biomaterials, benefiting from the opportunity to create dual-shape, compliant, and durable materials. However, SMPU still suffer from the lack of mechanical properties and a failure to tune their biological interface prior to implantation. In this study, SMPU and carbon fibre (CF) reinforced composites for implantable biomaterials were developed, and their mechanical properties and biocompatibility were comprehensively characterised. The addition of CF in SMPU shows the improved mechanical properties, and CF in CF/SMPU played a reinforcement or resistance role in shape memory recovery rate above or below Tg, while the shape recovery force of CF/SMPU was enhanced significantly. PIII surface modification improved the wettability of SMPU and other surface properties, without affecting bulk properties. PIII treatment duration determined the degree of surface changes, and the SMPU surface with PIII treatment for 200 seconds resulted in a saturated level of covalently immobilised collagen. Implanted SMPU45 with PIII treatment and collagen coating shows good performance in biocompatibility. The results of histology and immunohistochemistry showed less acute and subacute immune response to PIII treated + collagen coated SMPU45 than the mock treated ones, suggesting a better wound healing ability. It has been demonstrated that SMPU45 is a promising biomaterial with functional properties of shape memory effect. Applying the PIII surface modification combined with protein attachment enables SMPU45 to improve host compatibility by minimizing biological limitations, and will enhance the performance of SMPU devices for various implant biomedical applications in the future.

▼ A common null polymorphism (R577X) in the ACTN3 gene results in complete absence of α-actinin-3 in ~16% of the world’s population. α-Actinin-3 deficiency is detrimental to performance in elite sprint athletes the mechanisms altering muscle performance have been modelled in an Actn3 KO mouse. KO muscle has smaller fast 2B fibres (where Actn3 is predominantly expressed), reduced absolute force, increased oxidative enzyme activity and enhanced calcineurin signalling. We examined the molecular mechanisms of α-actinin-3 deficiency on muscle disuse adaptation. KO mice demonstrated reduced muscle atrophy in fast 2B fibres and an enhanced propensity for MyHC isoforms to shift towards a slower, more oxidative profile. To investigate ACTN2 vs. ACTN3 molecular differences we performed an intramuscular gene delivery. Remarkably, a tight internal regulation of α-actinins existed, to show delivery and increase of α-actinin-3 resulted in reduced endogenous levels of α-actinin-2, and vice versa. Interestingly, while intramuscular ACTN3 delivery to KO muscle rescued some phenotypes, we found over-expression of ACTN2 and ACTN3 resulted in a degeneration/regenerative response with increased internalised nuclei and altered myofibrillar proteins. These studies also identified altered calcineurin signalling responsiveness and overall, demonstrated independent molecular mechanisms of each sarcomeric α-actinin, critical for muscle structure, metabolism and adaptation.

▼ The gene encoding a β-glucosidase originating from
the extreme thermophile Thermotoga neopolitana has been cloned and
expressed in Escherichia coli. The aim was to produce a
thermostable enzyme that could be used to remove sugar residues
from glucosylated natural products classified as flavonoids by
applying a method combining extraction in hot pressurized water
with enzymatic hydrolysis. The β-glucosidase (termed TnBgl1A in
this thesis) is a member of family 1 of glycoside hydrolase (GH1).
The enzyme has an apparent unfolding temperature of 101.9 °C and a
molecular weight of 52.6 kDa. The activity of TnBgl1A was first
analysed using the model substrate
para-nitrophenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (pNPGlc), demonstrating that a
single glucosyl residue (typical for β-glucosidases) is released by
this enzyme. Hydrolysis of glucosylated forms of the natural
product quercetin (the major flavonoid in yellow onion) was found
to be dependent on the position of the glucosylation (see below).
Expression in E. coli resulted in a relatively large fraction of
insoluble target protein. To improve the folding of TnBgl1A during
production, different strategies were then applied: I) the gene was
constructed synthetically and codons were optimized to match codon
usage in E.coli, II) the gene was cloned in frame with a signal
peptide to translocate the protein to the periplasmic space, and
III) the gene was co-expressed with genes encoding molecular
chaperones. Among these strategies the co-expression of the gene
with chaperones worked best, and the improved folding resulted in
an increased fraction of soluble, active enzyme. The TnBgl1A was
tested for the hydrolysis of quercetin-glucosides, which are
antioxidants classified as flavonoids present in onion, and
composed of a polyphenolic backbone glucosylated at two different
positions (Q3, Q4´, and the diglucoside Q3,4´). The aglycone form
of quercetin is a more potent antioxidant than the glucosylated
forms. The activity of TnBgl1A for Q3 was lower compared to its
activity on quercetin-4´-glucoside (Q4´). To improve hydrolysis of
Q3, mutations were introduced in the enzyme, based on a structure
model of TnBgl1A. The mutant N221S/P342L showed increased
efficiency towards Q3 as well as for Q4´ compared to wild-type.
This showed that the position and nature of this residue in the
active site is important for substrate specificity and that by
careful selection the specificity can be changed for different
substrates. Therefore, the mutation studies were extended and the
active site region was targeted for further mutagenesis. Among the
changes introduced, the mutagenesis of the neighbouring residue,
N220S, was also found to influence activity, and this variant had a
higher specific activity for quercetin-glucosides. TnBgl1A and one
of the best performance mutants (N221S/P342L) were immobilized on
acrylic support to allow recycling of the enzyme in experiments
coupling hot water extraction of quercetin-glucosides with
enzymatic hydrolysis. The activity of the immobilised enzyme was
analysed in…

▼ Ce manuscrit de thèse présente le développement de méthodes basées sur la spectrométrie de masse consacrées à la recherche d'inhibiteurs d'enzymes en milieux complexes, tels que les extraits de plantes. L’enzyme Tyrosinase a été utilisé comme principale cible biologique du fait de son implication dans les processus d’hyperpigmentation cutanée. De ce fait, la recherche d’inhibiteurs de cette enzyme, présente un grand intérêt pour l'industrie cosmétique. La première partie de ce manuscrit décrit la mise en place de la chromatographie d'affinité frontale (FAC), permettant d’obtenir le classement simultané des inhibiteurs présent dans un mélange complexe en fonction de leurs affinités avec la cible biologique. Deux capillaires hydrophiles de phase monolithiques ont été évalués afin de réduire au maximum les interactions non spécifiques indésirables entre les analytes et le support solide d’immobilisation. De plus, nous avons étudié la faisabilité de l’utilisation de phases à base de silice comme support solide d’immobilisation des enzymes dans le cadre de ces analyses par chromatographie d'affinité frontale. La seconde partie du manuscrit de thèse est consacrée au développement et à l’optimisation de l’approche nommée ENALDI-MS (Enzyme-coupled Nanoparticles-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionisation Mass Spectrometry) permettant d’accéder à une gamme des faibles masses (m/z 500 Da). Elle est déclinée en une première approche dite par ‘extinction d’ions’ (Ion Fading, IF-ENALDI), basée sur l’identification directe de la liaison des inhibiteurs vis-à-vis de l’enzyme sans pré-traitement de l’échantillon végétal. Une seconde déclinaison de l’ENALDI-MS concerne une approche dite par ‘Ion Hunting’ (IH - ENALDI MS), basée sur une méthode de pré-concentration sélective des inhibiteurs présents dans l'échantillon.
This thesis report presents the development of mass spectrometry-based methods for searching for inhibitors of enzymes in complex mixtures, such as plant extracts. Tyrosinase enzyme was used as the main biological target for the reason of a significant importance of its inhibitors in the cosmetic industry as the skin whitening agents. The first part of this report describes Frontal Affinity Chromatography (FAC), an approach enabling simultaneous ranking the inhibitors within the complex mixture according to their affinities to the biological target. Two hydrophilic capillary-scale polymer-based bioaffinity stationary phases were evaluated in the context of the presence of undesirable nonspecific interactions between the analyte and the solid immobilisation support. In addition, we explored the usability of two types of silica-based particles as a solid support for enzyme immobilisation for FAC. The second part of the thesis manuscript is devoted to Enzyme-coupled Nanoparticle-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionisation Mass Spectrometry (ENALDI MS) as a low-mass compatible extension of the Intensity ion Fading MALDI MS (IF-MALDI MS) method for high-throughput screening of the inhibitors in the complex mixtures.

▼ L'objectif général de cette thèse est de transformer les déchets ultimes et dangereux contenant des métaux lourds, en matières minérales chimiquement stables. L'augmentation de la production des ordures ménagères (OM) est un problème qui concerne et préoccupe le monde entier. Parmi les différentes méthodes de traitement des déchets municipaux, l'incinération est une technologie qui peut fournir une solution efficace et respectueuse pour l'environnement. Le problème de ce traitement est la production de REFIOM. Les REFIOM peuvent contenir de grandes quantités de composés métalliques toxiques et est considéré comme un déchet dangereux ce qui oblige à les mettre en décharges classées. Trois types de matériaux pour l'immobilisation du plomb et du cadmium ont été étudiés : les vitrocéramiques, les céramiques frittées et les géopolymères. Nous sommes parvenus à synthétiser une base de vitrocéramique à partir de cendres incinérées purs et nous avons diminué sa volatilisation lors de sa production. Des résultats prometteurs ont été obtenus pour la vitrocéramique Ca-Mg-Si-O qui a incorporé durablement une quantité élevée de cadmium dans les structures cristallines et le plomb dans la structure amorphe. La phase cristalline est plus résistante à l'attaque acide en raison de son incorporation dans une matrice vitreuse qui génère une double protection. Ses travaux ouvrent la possibilité de créer cette matrice en ajoutant des oxydes commerciaux aux résidus d'incinération. Nous avons étudié la céramique frittée à base du système Ba-Mg-Ti-O. Nous avons obtenu les trois phases minérales présentées dans la céramique SYNROC (hollandite, pérovskite et rutile) où le cadmium substitue le magnésium tandis que le plomb a occupé le site appartenant au baryum. La céramique frittée est satisfaisante en termes d'immobilisation des métaux lourds avec de bonnes propriétés physiques. Pour produire des géopolymères résistants à partir de REFIOM, il est avantageux d'utiliser un rapport L/S = 1,2 et de les sécher à température ambiante. Il a été observé que le frittage influence le taux de réorganisation structurelle avec l'apparition de la phase sodalite ( Na4Si3Al3O12Cl), qui se compose de tunnels où les métaux lourds peuvent être incorporés. Le plomb et le cadmium restent largement en dessous de la limite des normes TCLP. Le traitement thermique à plus de 500°C augmente la densité de l'échantillon. Lorsque les REFIOM sont mélangés avec d'autres types de déchets tels que des MIOM ou du calcin, il est possible d'augmenter la résistance chimique et mécanique. Nous avons conclu que les trois matrices de stockages étudiées offrent de bonne perspective pour l'immobilisation du plomb et du cadmium
The overall objective of this thesis is to transform ultimate and hazardous waste containing heavy metals, into chemically stable mineral materials. The increasing municipal solid waste (MSW) generation is a problem ranging to global concern. Among various MSW treatment methods, incineration is a technology, which may provide an efficient and environmental…

▼ The enzyme, alpha-galactosidase was extracted from peanuts using various buffers
and solvents. The specific activity of soluble preparation of peanut ranged from
0.0083 to 0.0606 U/mg. Phosphate buffer extract showed the maximum specific
activity of 0.0606 U/mg. The soluble alpha-galactosidase was immobilised in calcium
alginate beads and the specific activity of the immobilized enzyme was found to
be 0.0808 U/mg. Activity yield was 33%. The immobilised enzyme showed
increase in activity compared with the soluble enzyme above 35 C. The thermal
stability of the immobilised alpha-galactosidase was significantly improved in
comparison to the soluble form. The effect of different pH depicts that at acidic
pH the activity of the immobilised alpha-galactosidase was higher than that of the
soluble enzyme. The Km and Vmax for immobilised enzyme was higher when
compared with the soluble enzyme. Immobilised alpha-galactosidase retained 20%
activity after 7 repeated uses. The immobilised enzyme exhibited high storage
stability. The immobilised enzyme was used in batch and continuous packed bed
reactors for the hydrolysis of stachyose and raffinose in soymilk. Flatulence
causing raffinose and stachyose, after hydrolysis, was removed to a remarkable
extent. Hydrolysis of flatulence causing oligosaccharides of soymilk in a
continuous packed bed reactor has not been attempted previously.

▼ L’objectif de cette thèse est de synthétiser de nouvelles surfaces spécifiques nécessaires à l’immobilisation des biomolécules ; visant à développer à terme un biocapteur pour la détection de pathogènes en industrie agroalimentaire. Cette nouvelle procédure de fonctionnalisation de surface consiste d’une part à greffer des molécules organiques sur un substrat métallique à partir d’une réaction électrochimique et d’autre part de synthétiser un monomère photopolymérisable sur tout type de surface. Ces surfaces sont enfin utilisées pour immobiliser les biomolécules. Ce procédé ainsi développé permet d’éliminer les multiples étapes, l’utilisation excessive de réactifs observés dans les protocoles classiques de fonctionnalisation de surface pour la capture de microorganismes. Deux stratégies de fonctionnalisation ont été investiguées : la polymérisation sur une plaque de platine et le dépôt de monocouche sur une surface d’or. La fonctionnalisation de surfaces ainsi que l’immobilisation de biomolécules ont été caractérisées par la spectroscopie Raman, la microbalance à cristal de quartz, la microscopie à force atomique (AFM) pour le premier et en plus la microscopie à fluorescence pour le second. Les résultats de la fonctionnalisation de surfaces par dépôt de polymère ont montré, une déstabilisation du polymère en présence de l’eau. Afin d’optimiser la synthèse, nous avons travaillé en milieu inerte, sous alumine activée. De plus, on note une large couverture de la zone spectrale des biomolécules par les signaux du polymère ; Pour le dépôt de monocouche, l’on a obtenu une surface très réactive, homogène. La diffusion Raman est la principale technique de caractérisation utilisée. Elle présente l'avantage d'être une méthode de caractérisation physico-chimique non destructive et non invasive. Longtemps délaissée dans les sciences du vivant, cette méthode apparaît maintenant particulièrement prometteuse grâce à un développement récent de spectromètres intégrés performants. La diffusion Raman sur la monocouche déposée montre une intensité accrue des signaux par l’utilisation de la surface d’or et un spectre plus dégagé conduisant à l’identification aisée des biomolécules après fixation. Elle permet non seulement d’identifier les bandes de vibrations de chaque groupement mais aussi la conformation des structures. Les résultats d’immobilisation ont montré que l’accroche des biomolécules sur les surfaces fonctionnalisées était spécifique. La fonctionnalisation de surface d’or par dépôt de monocouche constitue finalement une technique très rapide à mettre en œuvre, peu coûteuse permettant d’ancrer efficacement les biomolécules et peut être utilisée pour diverses applications. La synthèse du monomère photopolymérisable a été abordée et est en cours d’investigation.

▼ The nuclear waste inventory of the UK comprises
large quantities of intermediate level wastes (ILW), which will be
immobilised by encapsulation within a cementitious grout in
stainless steel containers, followed by disposal in a deep
engineered geological disposal facility (GDF) within a suitable
geological formation. These wastes contain, in addition to
radioactive elements, a heterogeneous mix of organic materials,
including plastics, cellulose and rubber. Cellulosic items, such as
cloth, tissue, filters, paper and wood, are considered particularly
problematic, because they are known to be susceptible to
degradation under alkaline conditions, forming small chain organic
acids with the ability to complex metals and radionuclides. It is
predicted that under alkaline conditions isosaccharinic acid (ISA)
will form particularly strong complexes with Ni(II), Am(III),
Eu(III), Np(IV), Th(IV), and U(IV). As a result, the presence of
ISA could affect the migration behaviour of these elements, by
increasing their solubility and reducing sorption, thus enhancing
their mobility into the near and far field surrounding a GDF.
During site operation and then after closure of a GDF, microbial
communities have the potential to colonise the steep biogeochemical
gradients, running from highly alkaline in the GDF “near fieldâ€
to circumneutral pH conditions in the surrounding geosphere. Within
these steep pH gradients microbial processes can control the fate
of organic compounds, such as ISA, and have therefore been
considered as an effective self-attenuating mechanism to remove ISA
from the groundwater. This thesis aims to deliver a greater
understanding of the microbial processes that can potentially use
ISA as a carbon source and electron donor, removing it from
solution, and thus having a positive impact on radionuclide
mobility under GDF-relevant conditions. A microbial enrichment
approach was chosen that approaches GDF-relevant conditions to
explore the biodegradation of ISA. Cross-disciplinary analyses of
water chemistry (pH, Eh, photospectroscopy, IC, ICP), mineralogy
(ESEM, XRD, TEM, XAS) and microbiology (light microscopy, next
generation sequencing) have demonstrated the ability of bacteria to
degrade ISA over a wide range of biogeochemical conditions.
Furthermore, key radionuclides (and their non-active analogues),
including Ni(II) and U(VI), were precipitated from the groundwater
system during ISA biodegradation. Moreover, in the case of uranium,
microbial metabolism led to the reduction of U(VI) to U(IV), which
is also less soluble. This study highlights the potential for
microbial activity to help remove chelating agents from
groundwaters surrounding an ILW GDF, and suggests that safety cases
that do not include microbial processes may be overly conservative,
over-estimating the impact of ISA on radionuclide
transport.

▼ L'étude et le développement des procédés de fabrication de levures immobilisées en vue de la réalisation de fermentations de vins a débuté au milieu des années 80. Malgré les bénéfices potentiels que cette technologie pouvait apporter pour le secteur œnologique, peu de procédés d'immobilisation ont réussi à dépasser l'échelle laboratoire ou pilote et ceux qui sont arrivés à l'échelle industrielle n'ont pas eu le succès désiré pour des questions d'ordre technique ou économique. Le premier objectif de ce travail concerne la mise au point du procédé industriel en insistant sur les aspects les plus sensibles, et qui comme tels ont exigé des études complémentaires. Le deuxième objectif de ce travail vise à caractériser du point de vue cinétique et lorsque possible sensoriel, les fermentations avec les levures immobilisées pour la production de vins effervescents et pour la désacidification biologique de moûts. Le troisième et dernier objectif de ce travail consiste à évaluer l'utilisation de levures immobilisées pour la réalisation de la fermentation alcoolique en continu de moût. Pour cela on a fait appel à des fermenteurs continus à lit fixe et à lit fluidisé.
The study and development of yeast immobilization processes for wine fermentations started in the mid 80’s. Even though this technology could be of great benefit for the oenological sector very few process left the laboratory or pilot scale and those which arrived to industrial scale didn’t have the ambitioned success due to technical or economical constraints. The first goal of this work was to develop an industrial process for yeast immobilisation with emphasis on the most sensitive aspects which required further studies. The second objective of this work was to characterise the fermentation kinetics of immobilised yeasts cells during the production sparkling wines and during the deacidification of grape must. Whenever possible the wines produced were also characterised from a sensorial point of view. The third and last goal was to evaluate the use of immobilised yeast cells for continuous fermentation of grape must. For that we have used continuous fixed bed and fluidized bed fermenters.

▼ The ability to immobilise biomolecules on solid surfaces whilst retaining their function is the foundation of microarrays, biosensors and other miniaturised assays that provide convenient ways of analysing binding reactions of molecules with their ligands. The stability, sensitivity, cost and ease of use are important considerations when designing these systems, with the
immobilisation of the biomolecule to a surface being the key to success. Miniaturised assays can allow multiplex analysis of various samples from protein interactions, carbohydrate recognition events, DNA hybridisation and cell
immobilisation. They can enable fast, high-throughput and efficient testing for diagnostics, environmental testing and research purposes, as well as enabling production of whole-cell arrays to tissue engineering. The drive to miniaturisation and integration has advanced the need for effective and stable attachment of biomolecules to solid surfaces which allow high probe density and high signal to noise ratio whilst maintaining the activity of the molecule.
KODE™ technology is a surface engineering technology that enables modification of a cell or virion surface without causing harm. This is achieved with Function-Spacer-Lipid (FSL) constructs that embed into the membrane. They contain a functional head group that conveys a desirable attribute to the cell or virion, which include carbohydrate or peptide antigens, fluorescent markers, whole proteins or useful molecules for attachment, e.g. biotin. This research set out to determine if FSL constructs could modify non-biological surfaces as well as biological ones.
The aims of this research were to establish whether FSL constructs could be attached to non-biological surfaces, and if so what the mechanisms of attachment and the limitations might be and what methods could be used to deliver the molecules to the surface. Inkjet printing was investigated as the primary delivery method, as it is becoming a popular approach to apply biological molecules to surfaces. It is a non-contact, precise, flexible and fast technique which lends itself well to this field where precise patterning, sample and waste volume and cost are important factors. The water soluble advantages of FSL constructs make their use as a “bioink” attractive and this method proved to be successful at applying FSLs to surfaces.
FSL constructs were successfully applied to various surfaces including papers, polymers, metals, modified cellulose materials and natural fibres. All surfaces were able to attach the FSLs. The stability of the attachment was shown to be unchanged after 8 months at room temperature. Some detergents and solvents were able to remove the FSLs from the surface, indicating particular limitations of the attachment. Variations of the FSL structure gave insights into the attachment mechanisms which indicated that the amphiphilic nature of these constructs is important, with hydrophobic forces causing adsorption of these constructs onto solid surfaces.
