The type of microorganism and substrate determines the odor fingerprint of dried bacteria targeting microbial protein production.

The rapidly increasing demand for protein has led to the pursuit of new protein sources, among which microbial protein (MP) is one of the most promising. Although the nutritional properties of MP are important and often well-studied, the sensory properties of the microbial cells will in part determine the commercial success of the product and are much less investigated. Here we assessed the odor fingerprint of dried bacteria originating from pure cultures and enriched mixed microbial communities using an electronic nose (e-nose).

Impact of substrate and growth conditions on microbial protein production and composition.

Production of microbial protein (MP) from recovered resources - e.g. CO-sourced formate and acetate - could provide protein while enabling CO capture.

[Pregnancy and delivery of teenagers: Is the obstetrical prognosis worst between 13-15years old?].

Objective: To assess the prognosis of pregnancy and delivery of 13-15years old patients compared to teenagers aged of 16-17.

Methods: Single-center retrospective study of a continuous series of 13-15 teenagers followed in a public maternity between 1996 and 2012 compared to a series of patients aged of 16-17 matched on the day of the delivery (two controls for a case).

Results: Seventy-three teens 13-15 were followed during the study period, and 146 adolescents aged 16-17 were included and matched.

Benefits of Delayed Cord Clamping in Red Blood Cell Alloimmunization.

Background And Objective: Several studies have shown the benefits of delayed cord clamping (DCC) in preterm and in healthy newborns at short and long term. Our objective was to evaluate the potentials benefits and risks of DCC in red cell alloimmunization.

Methods: This was a comparative before/after study of all living born neonates followed after fetal anemia requiring in utero transfusion.

[Risk of accumulation of CO₂ in the oxygen chamber in "HOOD" (Experimental study on test bed)].

Objectives: Oxygen hood is largely used to deliver O₂ to newborn infants with respiratory failure in the northern region of France. The oxygen flow is set to obtain the target arterial blood oxygen saturation. Thus, O₂ flow delivers into the hood may be below the recommended gas flow of 6L/min.
