Licon, Ana Laura. « Spiderworms : Using Silkworms as Hosts to Produce a Hybrid Silkworm-Spider Silk Fiber ». DigitalCommons@USU, 2019. https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/etd/7591.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Spider silk has received significant attention due to its fascinating mechanical properties. Given the solitary and cannibalistic behavior of spiders, spider silk farming is impractical. Unlike spiders, silkworms are capable of producing large quantities of a fibrous product in a manner mimetic to spiders, and there already exists an industry to process cocoons into threads and textiles for many applications. The combination of silk farming (sericulture), a millennia old practice, and modern advancements in genetic engineering has given rise to an innovative biomaterial inspired by nature; transgenic silkworm silk.
This project focuses on the creation of chimeric silkworm-spider silk fibers through the genetic modification of silkworms. Advanced genetic engineering techniques were used to introduce the minor ampullate spider silk (MiSp) genes into the silkworm genome. A subset of these transgenic silkworms was cross-bred with other transgenic silkworms containing the same spider silk gene in a different section of the silkworm genome to create hybrid, dual-transgenic silkworms. The transgenic silk samples showed increased mechanical properties compared to native silkworm fibers, with the strongest fibers approaching or surpassing the mechanical properties of native spider silk. The transgenic silk retained the elasticity of the native silkworm silk and gained the strength of the spider silk. Ultimately, genetic engineering opens the door to mass produce synthetic spider silk in an established organism and industry, and the results of this project demonstrate that the properties of silkworm silk can be predictably altered through this technology.

Blossman-Myer, Bonnie. « A Contravention of Established Principles of Interspecific Allometric Metabolic Scaling in Developing Silkworms, Bombyx Mori ». Thesis, University of North Texas, 2007. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc3704/.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Established interspecific metabolic allometric relationships do not adequately describe the complexity and variable physiological states of developing animals. Consequently, intraspecific allometric relationships of oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production as a function of body mass; the respiratory quotient; the function of the silk cocoon; and body composition were investigated for each distinct developmental stage of the silkworm, Bombyx mori. Whole animal O2 consumption in Bombyx ranged from 0.00064 + 0.000047 ml O2 .hr-1 at larval instar I to 0.77 + 0.06 ml O2 .hr-1 in pre-pupal, falling to 0.21+ 0.01 ml O2 .hr-1 in the pupae. Those instars having a significant relationship between O2 consumption as a function of body mass, the slope of the line relating O2 consumption to body mass varied between 0.99 and 1.02, while across all instars the slope was 0.82. Developmental allometry should be presented for individual developmental stages because the individual allometric exponents of the stages can be significantly different from the overall allometric exponent throughout development and in some cases, the overall allometric exponent can be a statistical artifact. The first larval instar of Bombyx mori has the lowest cross sectional area of high metabolic tissue of the midgut (27%) and had one of the highest percentages of some metabolically inert tissues (i.e. lipid, 7.5%). Body composition of the first instar does not support the idea that smaller mass animals having the highest O2 consumption are composed of a greater percentage of metabolically active organs when compared to larger animals. However, this developmental stage has the highest percentage of the mitochondrial marker cytochrome oxidase, which correlates well with the high O2 consumption rate of the smaller mass. Therefore, established interspecific principles should not be assumed to function as valid models for intraspecific developmental relationships of metabolism as a function of body mass. Developmental allometry should include an analysis of individual stages of development as well as an analysis of development as a whole to gain a comprehensive understanding of the complexity of allometry of the developing animal such as the silkworm.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Silks have been described as biocompatible materials with a range of excellent mechanical properties, particularly a rare combination of strength and elasticity thought to arise from their unique molecular composition and ultrastructure. This project was aimed at studying the potential of natural silk fibres for tissue engineering. Species studied included degummed brins from the domestic silkworm Bombyx mori, the wild silkworm Antheraea pernyi and egg sac silk fibres from the spider Nephila edulis. A qualitative and quantitative description of the physical properties of the silks was carried out, where surface appearance, morphology and ultrastructure were investigated using a variety of microscopy techniques. The intrinsic fluorescence, density, linear density and cross section of silk fibres were also measured, facilitating a numerical estimation of their surface area per unit weight. Consequently, the tensile properties of the silks were measured, prior to and post cell culture preparation. The effect of autoclaving, washing and storage in growth medium was assessed through different tensile parameters. Upon culturing endothelial cells on the silk, a marked toxic effect was recorded and investigated, and different washing procedures to remove the toxic effect have been tested. Cell adhesion studies compared the ability of the different silks to support cell attachment for up to ten days. Also measured was as the effect of different treatments of the silk and scaffold design on rates of cell attachment. Finally, a new method of surface modification was developed and tested in order to functionalise natural silk fibres for endothelial guidance and angiogenesis. Results showed that all three silks shared a similar hierarchical ultrastructure of nanofibrils bundled into microfibrils, running parallel to the axis of the fibre. The silks also shared a lined, ridged topography where the fibroin monofilament was exposed or smooth topography when still coated in gum. However, tested silks differed in diameter, morphology, amino acid content and intrinsic fluorescence. Tensile tests showed that preparation for cell culture procedures, including sterilisation by autoclaving and water wetting had little or no effect on the mechanical properties, with the exception of medium incubation, which had a statistically significant effect on the mechanical properties of all tested silks. Cell growth studies showed that exposure of endothelial and myofibroblast cells to silk reduced their growth rates. The effect was mediated by iii both direct and indirect exposure to all tested silks, but most markedly by A. pernyi, which caused a severe cytostatic effect. One study showed that incubation of A.pernyi silk in medium supplemented with serum (but not non-supplemented medium) resulted in highly toxic growth medium. Among the different washing procedures devised to remove the toxicity, only lengthy enzymatic degumming was effective in reducing the toxic effect. Cell adhesion and growth studies indicated endothelial cells could attach and grow on the silk, but adhesion improved after the enzyme treatment. Scaffold design was also shown to have some effect on adhesion, with three-dimensional woven fabric proving a better scaffold than a random mesh of fibres. Finally, it was reported that the transglutaminase Factor XIII might be used to modify the surface of silk fibres with the biologically active factor L1Ig6. To conclude, studies presented in this described two poorly characterised silk species (Antheraea pernyi cocoon and Nephila edulis egg case) in term of their morphology, ultrastructure and fluorescence. They then showed that native, nonmodified silks supported cell attachment and growth provided they were treated to remove toxic coating and used in the form of a woven fabric rather then a loose mesh of fibres. Studies also presented a quantitative approach to the utilisation of silk in tissue engineering, and established wild silkworm silk Antheraea as a superior scaffold compared with egg case from the spider Nephile edulis or the domestic silkworm Bombyx mori. Finally, the novel method of silk modification using Factor XIII was reported as a potential route to further enhancing native silk fibres as cell scaffolds for specific applications. These studies present a unique approach, as they intentionally avoided harsh modifications of silk fibres before their use as scaffolds in order to preserve their excellent mechanical properties.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 57-59).
Optimized by Nature for millions of years, silk is one of the strongest biomaterials with outstanding mechanical properties, it is both extensible and tough in order to ensure specific functions. In particular, protein-based Bombyx mori silkworm silk's stiffness is originated from the crystalline region of the semi-crystalline fibroin and the extensibility from the length hidden within the amorphous region. The silk fiber is coated with sericin which acts as a glue connecting fibers together and as a matrix in the three-dimensional nonwoven multi-layer composite structure of the cocoon. These properties can be engineered and enhanced with forced reeling silk: fast spun silks are stiffer and less extensible than slow reeled silk. For this study, two-dimensional single cocoon layer webs are created by silkworms and tested under an increasing wind load until failure, the deflections are recorded. To complement the experimental results, the web's structure is generated in two different models: straight fiber web and wavy fiber web models. Both models are studied under constant wind load for four type of fibers with different reeling speeds thus different mechanical properties. These tests indicate that the deflection increases with wind load for both the experiments and the simulations, but also that webs composed of fibers with different mechanical properties are not necessary stiffer and less extensible as the material they are composed of are stiffer and less extensible because of the high redundancy and randomness of the web structure. The divergence in results between the experiments and the simulations suggests the need to improve the models to be more in accordance with the real webs.

Uppsala universitet, Jämförande fysiologi, 2012. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-184482.
Texte intégralRésumé :
In insects, hemocytes are considered as the only source of plasma prophenoloxidase (PPO). PPO also exists in the hemocytes of the hematopoietic organ that is connected to the wing disc of Bombyx mori. It is unknown whether there are other cells or tissues that can produce PPO and release it into the hemolymph besides circulating hemocytes. In this study, we use the silkworm as a model to explore this possibility. Through tissue staining and biochemical assays, we found that wing discs contain PPO that can be released into the culture medium in vitro. An in situ assay showed that some cells in the cavity of wing discs have PPO1 and PPO2 mRNA. We conclude that the hematopoietic organ may wrongly release hemocytes into wing discs since they are connected through many tubes as repost in previous paper. In wing discs, the infiltrating hemocytes produce and release PPO probably through cell lysis and the PPO is later transported into hemolymph. Therefore, this might be another source of plasma PPO in the silkworm: some infiltrated hemocytes sourced from the hematopoietic organ release PPO via wing discs.

Zhang, Xiaoli. « Using Silkworms as a Host to Spin Spider Silk-Like Fibers ». DigitalCommons@USU, 2017. https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/etd/6368.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Using silkworms as the potential host to spin spider silk-like fibers is an area of intense research world-wide. The conventional methods used to create transgenic silkworms hosting spider silk-like gene limits the incorporation of spider silk-like protein and do not improve the mechanical performance of the composite silkworm/spider silk fibers. In this dissertation, synthetic spider ampullate genes were incorporated into the precise site of the fibroin heavy chain or light chain using the latest genome editing technology CRISPR/cas9 guided non-homologous end joining as opposed to conventional random integration using transposon-based piggyBac system. These protocols, with extensive applicability to other silkworm researches, improved the content of spider silk-like protein in the transgenic silkworm/spider silk fibers, increases genetic stability in offspring, and improves the mechanical performance of the transgenic fibers compared to traditional methods. In addition, an enhanced green fluorescence protein (eGFP) was successfully incorporated into the fibroin light chain of silkworms using CRISPR/C as 9 initiated homologous recombination. The transgenic silkworm/spider fibers emitted strong green fluorescence under excitation. These results demonstrate that the we successfully developed a protocol to make silkworm as a host to spin spider silk-like fibers.

Orientador: Daniela Carvalho dos SantosResumo: O bicho-da-seda, Bombyx mori (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae), é o inseto de maior importância econômica na produção de seda. A lagarta se alimenta de folhas de amoreira e é altamente sensível a agrotóxicos, assim o uso destes em culturas agrícolas circunvizinhas às plantações de amoreira pode afetar o desenvolvimento de B. mori, acarretando em desequilíbrio nas suas funções metabólicas e, consequentemente, comprometendo a produção de casulos. Entre estes agrotóxicos, destaca-se o Novaluron, inseticida inibidor da síntese de quitina nos insetos e empregado no controle de insetos pragas de culturas agrícolas próximas as plantações de amoreira. Assim, investigamos os efeitos tóxicos de Novaluron no desenvolvimento de B. mori. Lagartas de B. mori, foram separadas em dois grupos experimentais: grupo controle (GC) e grupo tratamento (GT: tratado com 0, 15 mL/L de Novaluron). Após ecdise do 2° para o 3° instar, lagartas do GT foram alimentadas por 24 horas com folhas de amoreira tratadas com o inseticida. Paralelamente foi realizada uma nova exposição, porém em lagartas que realizavam a ecdise do 4° para o 5° instar.

Abstract: The silkworm, Bombyx mori (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae is the insect of major economic importance in the production of silk. The larvae feeds on mulberry leaves and is highly sensitive to agrochemicals, thus the use of these in agricultural crops surrounding the mulberry plantations can affect the development of B. mori, causing an imbalance in its metabolic functions and, consequently, compromising the production of cocoons. Among these agrochemicals, stands out the Novaluron, an insecticide inhibitor of the synthesis of chitin in insects and used in the control of insect pests of crops near mulberry plantations. Thus, we investigated the lethal and sublethal effects of Novaluron on the development of B. mori. Larvae were selected into two experimental groups: control group (CG) and treatment group (TG: treated with 0, 15 mL/L Novaluron). After ecdysis from the 2nd to the 3rd instar, the TG larvae were fed for 24 hours with mulberry leaves treated with the insecticide. In parallel, a new exposition was carried out, however in larvae that carry out the ecdysis from the 4th to the 5th instar. B. mori larvae, pupae and adults were anesthetized and segments of the midgut, silk gland and reproductive organs were removed and processed conventionally for light microscopy, electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry. In addition, the effects on the development, reproduction and quality of the cocoon were also evaluated. Novaluron caused cytotoxic effects on the midgut and the silk glan...

Texte intégralRésumé :
The goal of the thesis is to incorporate materials with either fluorescent or conductive properties in silk fibers, by feeding silkworms with a diet containing these materials. To achieve this, one would have to breed (rear) silkworm from eggs into larvaes, then to feed the silkworms with this special diet containing fluorescent or conductive materials. Samples of silk were then collected either from spun cocoons or via removing the silk producing organs (silk glands) from the silkworms via dissection. The samples were then analyzed with absorbance spectrometer, spectrofluorometer or via photoluminesecent measurement to determine if any materials had been incorporated into the silk fibers. Silkworms were successfully reared from eggs up to moths, once the silkworm larvae had grown enough in size their diet were switches from their regular food (silkworm chow) to food containing conjugated molecules or polymers with fluorescent or conductive properties. A total of 14 materials were tested. One material gave a clear positive result and that was from the fluorescent compound Rhodamine B. Other fluorescent materials, Nile red and POWT yielded some results indicating their presence in the silk but the results were not conclusive. The rest of the materials all failed with being incorporated within the silk fibers; this was due to their lethality, size, lack of zwitterionic properties and such. The properties of the materials are of great importance for the uptake process, where a small zwitterionic molecule has a great change of being taken up and incorporated in the silk fibers. Whereas a big materials such as a polymer without any zwitterionic will in most cases just follow through the food in the digestive track without any uptake.

Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) is an entomopathogenic virus Baculoviridae family, Alphabaculovirus genre, which infects the silkworm, Bombyx mori and causes nuclear polyhedrosis disease. A viral geographic isolated from BmNPV was identified in the state of Paraná, Brazil, and a number of organs and target tissues were identified, but there is no information about the infection of Malpighian tubules (MT). MT make up the excretory system of B. mori, acting in the elimination of toxic substances and electrolyte homeostasis. This study aimed to analyze the behavior on the susceptibility and cytopathology of MT B. mori to BmNPV. Therefore, hybrid B.mori caterpillars at 5º instar, were inoculated experimentally with a viral suspension of BmNPV. On different days post-inoculation (dpi), the 4° to 9° dpi, MT segments were collected, divided in regions of the ampullae, proximal, medial and distal; following the processing for light and electron microscopy transmission. Material control followed the same process that the inoculated. The results showed that B. mori MT showed variations in their morphology and susceptibility to BmNPV according to the analyzed region. Thus, the region of the ampullae in its transition area to the proximal, appeared susceptible to BmNPV, from 6° dpi, while other regions showed no evidence of infection by the pathogen. The transition area is a small region which is located at the end of the ampullae and the beginning of the proximal region of MT. The cellular morphology of simple lining epithelium showed continuous variation of pavement, characteristic of the ampullae, the cylindrical, in the transition area; already continuous with the proximal region of MT, this morphological change was abruptly. The cytopathology revealed in hypertrophic nucleus, viroplasm containing the nucleocapsid and viral polyhedra. At the end of the infectious cycle was observed cytolysis of infected cells, releasing polyhedra in the extracellular medium, both in hemocele as in MT lumen, a factor that may favor the transmission of the disease. Thus, infection of the ampullae in its transition area to the proximal region, will contribute to greater scientific knowledge of cytopathology aspects and targets of infection from this virus isolated geographical, for the establishment of its infectious cycle of the insect's body BmNPV
Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) é um vírus entomopatogênico da família Baculoviridae, gênero Alphabaculovirus, que infecta o bicho-da-seda, Bombyx mori (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae) e causa a doença poliedrose nuclear. Um isolado geográfico viral do BmNPV foi identificado no estado do Paraná, Brasil, e uma série de órgãos e tecidos alvos foram identificados, porém não há informações sobre a infecção dos túbulos de Malpighi (TM). Os TM compõem o sistema excretor de B. mori, atuando na eliminação de substâncias tóxicas e na homeostase hidroeletrolítica. Assim, este estudo objetivou analisar o comportamento referente à susceptibilidade e citopatologia dos TM de B. mori ao BmNPV. Para tanto, lagartas híbridas de B. mori, 5° instar, foram inoculadas experimentalmente com uma suspensão viral de BmNPV. Em diferentes dias pós-inoculação (dpi), do 4° ao 9° dpi, segmentos dos TM foram coletados, subdivididos nas regiões da ampola, proximal, média e distal; seguindo o processamento para as microscopias de luz e eletrônica de transmissão. Material controle seguiu o mesmo processamento que o inoculado. Os resultados demonstraram que os TM de B. mori, apresentaram variação na sua morfologia e susceptibilidade ao BmNPV de acordo com a região analisada. Assim, a região da ampola, na sua área de transição com a proximal, se apresentou susceptível ao BmNPV, a partir do 6° dpi, enquanto as demais regiões não evidenciaram indícios de infecção pelo patógeno. A área de transição é uma pequena região que se localiza ao término da ampola e inicio da região proximal do TM. A morfologia celular do epitélio de revestimento simples apresentou variação continua de pavimentoso, característico da ampola, a cilíndrico, na sua área de transição; já na continuidade com a região proximal do TM, esta variação morfológica foi abrupta. A citopatologia revelou no núcleo hipertrófico, o viroplasma, contendo os nucleocapsídeos e os poliedros virais. Ao final do ciclo infeccioso foi verificado a citólise de células infectadas, liberando poliedros no meio extracelular, tanto na hemocele como no lúmen do TM, fator que pode favorecer a transmissão da doença. Assim, a infecção da ampola, na sua área de transição com a região proximal, irá contribuir com um maior conhecimento científico dos aspectos citopatológicos e dos alvos de infecção deste isolado geográfico viral, visando o estabelecimento do seu ciclo infeccioso do BmNPV no corpo do inseto.

O Brasil destaca-se como maior produtor de seda em escala comercial no Ocidente e o quinto maior no mundo, devido ao eficiente sistema integrado de produção, que qualifica os fios de seda brasileiros como de alta qualidade. A sericicultura é a criação do Bombyx mori L. (bicho-da-seda) para obtenção dos casulos de seda para a fiação. A atividade emprega, no Brasil, aproximadamente, 2.500 famílias no meio rural, gerando renda por cerca de 8 a 9 meses do ano, contribuindo para a fixação delas ao campo. Além disso, cerca de 2.000 funcionários trabalham nas empresas de fiação no meio urbano, e o total de empregos, contando com os empregos indiretos, associados à atividade, somam, aproximadamente, 20.000. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo apresentar a dinâmica da inovação da sericicultura no Brasil e as medidas que vêm sendo tomadas nesse sentido. Os dados, para elaboração deste estudo, foram coletados por meio de análise bibliográfica, assim como, visitas técnicas às empresas e aos produtores ligados à sericicultura nos estados do Paraná e São Paulo. Foram realizadas entrevistas com quatro sericicultores, juntamente com representantes das empresas Fiação de Seda BRATAC S.A., Fiação de Seda Artesanal O Casulo Feliz, Instituto Vale da Seda e com Enéas Neto, estilista residente da marca Vale da Seda. As principais modernizações constatadas visam diminuir o esforço físico do trabalhador rural e aumentar a produtividade, mantendo os padrões de qualidade. Constatou-se, nas visitas e entrevistas aos produtores rurais, que a sericicultura é, na maioria dos casos, a principal fonte de renda familiar, afirmando a importância social e econômica da referida atividade e que, mesmo após anos anteriores de declínio, vem se mostrando promissora no Brasil, com aumentos gradativos nas últimas safras, tornando-se uma atividade bastante rentável. Por meio das entrevistas com os empresários e representantes do setor, relacionados com a produção de seda no Brasil, percebe-se que se sentem otimistas com relação ao futuro da seda, pois existe hoje uma maior preocupação com o uso de produtos provenientes de extração mais sustentável, duráveis e com maior valor agregado e, a seda, se enquadra nesses requisitos. Além disso, estudos preliminares indicam uma correlação positiva entre a produção de seda e a mitigação da Pegada de Carbono. Desse modo, a sericicultura, de forma sustentável, ética e socialmente responsável, poderá apresentar cada vez maior destaque e, por consequência, refletir positivamente na economia brasileira como um todo. Conclui-se que a sericicultura é uma atividade economicamente viável para o Brasil, o qual apresenta condições de solo e clima favoráveis para a criação do bicho-da-seda, em diversas regiões de seu território, com a possibilidade de gerar empregos e renda, tanto na área rural, quanto na urbana. Impulsionada pela mecanização e modernização da atividade agropecuária, a sericicultura nacional vem retomando lugar de destaqueBrazil stands out as the largest commercial scale silk producer in the West and the fifth largest in the world due to its efficient integrated production system, which qualifies Brazilian silk yarns as high quality. The sericulture is the creation of Bombyx mori L. (silkworm) to obtain silk cocoons for spinning. The activity employs approximately 2,500 rural families in Brazil, generating income for about 8 to 9 months of the year, contributing to their setting in the field. In addition, around 2,000 employees work in the spinning companies and the total amount of jobs, added to the indirect jobs by the activity, is, approximately, 20,000. This research aimed to present the dynamic of sericulture innovation in Brazil and the measures that have been taken in this direction. All the data for the preparation of this study were collected through bibliographic analysis, as well as technical visits to companies and producers linked to sericulture in the states of Parana and Sao Paulo. Interviews were conducted with four sericulturists, along with representatives of the spinning companies of Silk BRATAC S.A., spinning of handmade silk O Casulo Feliz, Silk Valley Institute and with Eneas Neto, resident designer of the Silk Valley brand. The main modernizations observed aim to reduce the physical effort of the rural worker and increase productivity, maintaining the renowned Brazilian quality standards. In the visits and interviews with rural producers, sericulture is, in most cases, the main source of income of the family, affirming the social and economic importance of this activity, and that, even after previous years of decline, showing promising in Brazil, with gradual increases in the last harvests, becoming a very profitable activity for producers of other crops. Through interviews with businessmen and industry representatives related to the production of silk in Brazil, it is perceived that they feel optimistic about the future of silk, as there is a greater concern with the use of products from more sustainable extraction, durable and with higher added value, and silk meets these requirements. Furthermore, preliminary studies indicate a positive correlation between silk production and Carbon Footprint mitigation. In this way, sericulture, in a sustainable, ethical and socially responsible manner, may be increasingly prominent, and consequently, positively reflecting on the Brazilian economy as a whole. It is concluded that sericulture is an economically viable activity for Brazil that presents favorable soil and climate conditions for the creation of silkworms, as well as generates jobs and income in the rural area, contributing to a decrease in the rural exodus. Driven by the mechanization and modernization of agricultural activity, the national sericulture has resumed a prominent place

Texte intégralRésumé :
A pesquisa e o desenvolvimento de novas tecnologias na área de materiais e de processos químicos tem sido objeto de muitos trabalhos científicos que buscam inovações. O uso de materiais poliméricos para aplicação na área biomédica está em constante ascensão, e possuem importantes aplicações como sistema controlado de liberação de drogas, encapsulamento de células, regeneração de tecidos musculares e blendas para uso tópico. Os polímeros podem ser sintéticos como os álcool poli (vinílico)(PVA) e naturais também chamados de biopolímeros como a sericina (SER) formada pelo Bombyx mori. Para a utilização de biopolímeros é extremamente importante à avaliação de algumas características como dos agentes plastificantes e/ou reticulantes, a fim de, produzir blendas com melhores propriedades ao fim destinado. Dentro desse contexto, o estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito do gluconato de cálcio (GLU) em blendas poliméricas SER/PVA visando uma possível aplicação em materiais com liberação controlada de fármacos, elaborar filmes poliméricos da blenda SER/PVA com glicerol (GLI) e gluconato de cálcio e composições e caracterizar sistemas esses filmes quanto ao teor de umidade, espectroscopia no infravermelho em módulo de refletância total atenuada com transformada de Fourier, análises termogravimétrica, microscopia eletrônica de varredura, ensaios de tração e monitorar o teor de cálcio em solução proveniente da liberação do gluconato de cálcio presente nos filmes da blenda SER/PVA por espectroscopia de absorção atômica. Observou-se maior estabilidade térmica nos filmes com GLU como aditivo devido ao seu possível efeito reticulante relacionado aos íons Ca2+ presentes na blenda, com teor de umidade maior quando a GLY é utilizada, Nos estudos de FTIR-ATR pode ser observado que o GLU causa alteração do perfil espectroscópico do filme entre 50% e 60% do teor de SER diferentemente do que ocorre com a GLY (40% - 50%) Nos estudos de morfologia observou-se uma separação de fase em ambos os filmes com GLY e GLU, nos resultados de tração o GLY apresentou a plasticidade esperada já o GLU elimina a plasticidade do filme SER/PVA porém aumento significativamente a resistência do material, consequência clara de interações mais intensas no interior do material. Apresentou também um perfil de liberação positivo que pode ser modulado em composições de SER/PVA, esses resultados demonstram a viabilidade do filme como um material de liberação. Assim o GLU possui uma função múltipla na blenda polimérica proposta além de atuar como reticulante também pode atuar como fármaco.The research and development of new technologies in the field of chemical materials and processes has been the subject of many scientific works that seek innovations. The use of polymer materials for application in the biomedical area is constantly increasing, and they have important applications as controlled system of drug release, cell encapsulation, regeneration of muscle tissues and blends for topical use. The polymers may be synthetic such as poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and natural also called biopolymers such as sericin (SER) formed by Bombyx mori. For the use of biopolymers it is extremely important to evaluate some characteristics such as plasticizers and / or crosslinking agents in order to produce blends with better properties to the intended purpose. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of calcium gluconate (GLU) on SER / PVA polymer blends aiming at a possible application in materials with controlled release of drugs, to prepare SER / PVA polymer blends with glycerol (GLI) And calcium gluconate and compositions and characterize systems such films for moisture content, infrared spectroscopy in Fourier transform attenuated total reflectance module, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, tensile tests and monitor calcium content in solution Resulting from the release of the calcium gluconate present in the SER / PVA blends films by atomic absorption spectroscopy. It was observed higher thermal stability in GLU films as an additive due to its possible crosslinking effect related to the Ca2+ ions present in the blends, with a higher moisture content when GLY is used. In the FTIR-ATR studies it can be observed that GLU causes Alteration of the spectroscopic profile of the film between 50% and 60% of the SER content differently than occurs with GLY (40% - 50%) In the morphology studies a phase separation was observed in both GLY and GLU films, In the traction results the GLY presented the expected plasticity since the GLU eliminates the plasticity of the SER / PVA film but significantly increases the resistance of the material, a clear consequence of more intense interactions inside the material. It also showed a positive release profile that can be modulated in SER / PVA compositions, these results demonstrating the viability of the film as a release material. Thus, GLU has a multiple function in the proposed polymer blend as well as acting as a crosslinker can also act as a drug.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This thesis describes an investigation into silk spinning, with the objective of producing high performance silk fibres in the laboratory using a novel spinning device based upon observations on natural spinning glands and processes. After an in-depth literature review the work is reported in two sections: natural and artificial spinning. The literature provides fragmented data on different aspects of natural silk production, and artificial spinning has not yet reproduced fibres with the properties of native silk fibres, despite unfounded claims of biomimetic spinning. The first half of the thesis looks at natural silk spinning. The work started with a general study of the morphology of spider and silkworm spinning ducts: First, how the silk fibre develops as the dope flows through the gland; and second the relationship between silk fibre properties and both gland morphology and spinning speed. More detailed studies using histochemical and spectroscopic investigations showed that the silk ducts of the spider Nephila edulis and the silkworm Bombyx mori both contain β-chitin, despite an evolutionarily distant common ancestor. Finally, observations showed that the duct of N. edulis consists of alternating nanoporous discs, and FEA modelling indicated that the duct is optimised for mechanical integrity and permeability. The second half of the thesis describes the development of a spinning device that uses natural silk dope mainly taken from B. mori as feedstock. It begins with a description of the gradual development of the engineering aspects of the spinning device, to meet challenges raised during the spinning investigation. The development of a centrifugal capillary rheometer, for practical quantitative insights into rheological processes is then presented. Finally the spinning investigation is reported: first, the screening of spinning in glass capillaries based upon natural gland dimensions and flow rates, which have been shown to induce fibrillation in silk dope in a rheometer, and also included initiation of instability through heat applied along the capillary; second, the final spinning evaluation, using lessons learned from all the screening trials throughout the project, but also including a key development of a hydrophobic coating on the capillary tip to inhibit droplet formation and massively increase the process stability and ease of fibre production. The main conclusions from this work are that good silk fibre cannot be spun by flow shear stress alone; and, that heat instability induces indiscriminate gelation of the silk, whose disordered molecular structure gives poor silk fibre properties. The body of work behind these conclusions provides fundamental background information and new insights that will contribute to the next stages of development of artificial silk spinning, from obtaining a better understanding of the biology of natural spinning glands to the engineering difficulties of implementing the bioinspired principles.

Texte intégralRésumé :
La demande mondiale en agent de surface s’est intensifiée avec l’augmentation de la population et la récente crise du COVID-19 accélérant la nécessité de leur production. Le développement de tensioactifs verts est une alternative qui permet de remplacer les tensioactifs conventionnels issus de la pétrochimie et de satisfaire la tendance des consommateurs à se tourner vers des produits de plus en plus naturels et plus respectueux de l’environnement. De nombreux tensioactifs provenant de la biomasse ont vu le jour mais représentent une concurrence directe à l’industrie alimentaire. Parmi les matières premières non alimentaires, la séricine de soie est une protéine naturelle produite par les vers de Bombyx mori et qui est un co-produit de l’industrie textile présent dans les effluents industriels. Cette thèse se place dans un contexte de valorisation de la séricine. L’objectif est d’agrandir ses applications en passant par la compréhension de ses propriétés et son potentiel d’utilisation en tant qu’agent de surface bio-sourcé. Différents axes d’étude ont été empruntés dans cette thèse. L’extraction de la séricine a été étudiée de façon à respecter les principes d’une chimie durable en évitant la présence de produits chimiques. Les propriétés de la séricine ont été décrites afin de permettre sa valorisation. Une première voie de valorisation a été l’utilisation de la séricine en tant qu’agent de surface, seule ou en combinaison avec un tensioactif pour stabiliser des émulsions huile-dans-eau. La deuxième voie de valorisation était d’utiliser la séricine fonctionnalisée dans l’élaboration de molécules amphiphiles et étudier leurs propriétés d’adsorption aux interfaces ainsi que leur capacité d’auto-assemblage. Cette étude a été réalisée en apportant une dimension de valorisation respectant les principes de la chimie verte. Les nouvelles voies de synthèse utilisant la mécanochimie ont été empruntées ce qui a permis de réduire la quantité de déchets générés. Les résultats obtenus sont prometteurs et offrent des perspectives intéressantes pour accéder à des produits bio-sourcés de haute valeur ajoutéeGlobal demand for surfactants has intensified with population growth and the recent COVID-19 crisis accelerating the need for their production. The development of green surfactants is an alternative to conventional petroleum-based surfactants and satisfy the consumer trend towards more natural and environmentally friendly products. Several surfactants from the biomass have been developed, but they are in direct competition with the food industry. Among the non-food raw materials, silk sericin is a natural protein produced by the Bombyx mori worms, and it is a textile industry by-product present in industrial effluents. This thesis is set in a context of sericin valorization. The aim is to expand its applications through the understanding of its properties and its potential use as a bio-sourced surfactant. Various research axis were investigated in this thesis. The extraction of sericin was studied following the principles of sustainable chemistry by avoiding the presence of chemicals. The properties of sericin were described to enable its valorization. The first valorization way was to use the sericin as a surfactant, either alone or in combination with a surfactant for the oil-in-water emulsions stabilization. The second way was to use functionalized sericin to develop amphiphilic molecules, and to study their adsorption properties at interfaces as well as their self-assembly capacity. This study was carried out following the principles of green chemistry. New synthesis pathways using mecanochemistry have been adopted, reducing the amount of waste generated. The results obtained are promising and offer interesting prospects for accessing to high value-added bio-sourced products

A cultura do bicho-da-seda (Sericicultura), é uma atividade em fase de desenvolvimento no mundo inteiro, gerando emprego, renda agrícola e intercâmbio comercial. O casulo produzido pelo bicho-da-seda é constituído de casca, crisálida e espólio, sendo a casca constituída basicamente por sericina e fibroina. Devido ao alto teor de umidade (68 a 70%, em base úmida) e o curto ciclo de vida da crisálida (4 a 5 dias depois da colheita), é necessário que o casulo seja submetido ao processo de secagem, com a finalidade de ser armazenado com baixo teor de umidade (10 a 12% b.s), para posteriormente ser utilizado na Indústria de fiação, onde é transformado em produtos de alto valor comercial. Nesse sentido, esse trabalho tem como objetivo o projeto, a construção e a experimentação de um secador (tipo esteira com fluxos cruzados) e simulação da secagem de casulos do bicho-da-seda. São referenciados aspectos construtivos, funcionamento do secador e uma modelagem matemática para descrever as trocas de energia e massa entre o produto e o ar de secagem no interior do secador. As equações matemáticas foram resolvidas numericamente usando o método de volumes finitos. Resultados do desempenho de componentes do secador experimental e da secagem do casulo (simulada) são discutidos e analisados. Verificou-se que o teor de água do produto, no processo de secagem depende fortemente da temperatura, levemente da espessura da camada de casulos e praticamente independe da velocidade do ar de secagem. O secador desenvolvido tem as seguintes vantagens: versatilidade, baixo custo de construção, totalmente desmontável, boa mobilidade e esteiras controladas eletronicamente.
The culture of the silkworm (sériciculture) is an activity in development in all the world generating job, agricultural financial support and commercial exchange. Shell, chrysalis and booty constitute the cocoon produced by Bombix mori L. The shell is composed of fibroin and sericin. The cocoon has high initial moisture content (68 - 70% w. b.) and a the chrysalis has a low life cycle (4-5 days after harvested). Then, it needs to be submitted to the drying process and to be stored at low moisture content (10 - 12% d. b.) and after it needs to be marketed to produce silk yarns, which are used on the manufacturing of high cost products. In this sense, the goal of this work is to design, to make and to test a cross flow band conveyon dryer and to simulate silk worm cocoon drying. Building and working aspect of the dryer and mathematical modeling to describe heat and mans transfer between air and product inside the dryer are reported. The mathematical equation are solved numerically using the finite volume method. Results of the performance of the experimental dryer and cocoon drying (simulated) are presented and analyzed. From the results it was verified that during of the drying process, the moisture content of the cocoon depends strongly of the air temperature, slightly of the cocoon layer thinkness and it is almost affected by air flow rate. The following advantages of the dryer can be cited versatility, low costoff the building, many easy to pieces, good mobility and electronic control of the wire net.

The viral studies need to establish in vitro viral propagation, and the morphological and molecular data are necessary for the identification and classification of an unknown virus. The aim of this study was undertaken to identify the viral pathogen from moribund silkworm larvae. For in vitro propagation, we selected a high NPV susceptible cell strain, LY16, from NTU-LY1 cells. The tissue fluid extracted from the moribund silkworm larvae was used as an inoculum to infect LY16 cells. The infected LY16 cells were examined by light and electron microscopes. The viral inclusion bodies and virogenic stroma were found in the cytoplasm of the cells. The gross anatomies of the disease silkworm larvae fed or injected with the media of the infected LY16 cells showed a typical symptom of flacheries disease. The columnar cells of the midgut of the disease silkworm were main target cells of the virus and also the muscle cells surrounded the midgut were seriously infected. The purified viral particles are icosahedral in shape and 28 nm in size by negative stain. Based on cytopathic effect and electropathogenic observations, this virus is highly similar to PnV (Perina nuda virus). By RT-PCR amplification, we found that PnV exists in uninfected LY16 cells, therefore LY16 cells are persistent infection with PnV. In conclusions, (1) LY16 cells are PnV-persistent infection cells; (2) PnV can infect both LY cells and silkworm larvae; (3) and the origin pathogen of silkworm may either PnV contaminated from lab during rearing or viral pathogens of silkworm origin which can’t propagate in LY16 cells.

This thesis describes the establishment of a precise gene targeting methodology in the silkworm Bombyx mori by technologies based on engineered endonucleases. Two classes of engineered endonucleases, ZFNs and full length TALENs were used for creating DSBs at specified sites in the colour marker genes (BmBlos2 and Bmwh3). Direct embryo microinjection of engineered nucleases mRNA were performed and let the nuclease proteins to disrupt the functions of these marker genes by creating DSBs and inducing error prone NHEJ mechanism. These experiments showed that both ZFNs and TALENs could be used for targeted gene disruption in silkworms.

The digesting, transformation, absorption, transport and utilization, of chlorophylls and their physiological function in animals are still a myth. It is worthy to study if chlorophyll- or porphyrin-related compounds (CRCs or PRCs) play any role in animal. In this study, the red fluorescent protein (RFP) of silkworm (Bombyx mori) was employed to explore the above question. RFP has been known to be antivirus in the digestive juice of silkworm. Absorption spectrophotometer, high performance liquid chromatography, Thornber and MARS electrophoresis system and western blotting were hired to analyze the biochemical characteristics of mulberry leaf、RFPI in the digestive juice, and RFPII on the digestive tract. Data show that mulberry leaf、RFPI and RFPII are very different. By using a reversed-phase HPLC system chlorophyll a and b (Chl a and b) were found in RFPI purified according to Hou and Chiu (1986). The result is different from that of Hayashiya (1978) and Uchida and Hayashiya (1981), who reported that RFPI contained only chlorophyllide a (Chlide a).The Thornber and MARS electrophoresis systems and western blotting show both RFPI and RFPII contain four apoproteins of pigment-protein complexes of mulberry leaf, including RCIa、LHCIIa、LHCIIb and LHCIIc. Combination of the above data suggest that pigments and proteins of RFP I and RFPII might be totally or partially and directly or indirectly tranformed from pigment-protein complexes responsible for photosynthesis in mulberry leaf. It is therefore suggested that there may be a new model of assimilate nutrients in silkworm larvae.

YesAs an important economic insect, Bombyx mori is also a useful model organism for lepidopteran insect. Integrins are evolutionarily conserved fromsponges to humans, and play vital roles inmany physiological and pathological processes. To explore their diverse functions of integrins in insect, eleven integrins including sixα and five β subunitswere cloned and characterized fromsilkworm. Our results showed that integrins fromsilkwormown more family members compared to other invertebrates. Among those α subunits, integrins α1, α2, and the other four subunits belong to PS1, PS2, and PS3 groups, respectively. The β subunits mainly gather in the insect βν group except the β1 subunit which belongs to the insect β group. Expression profiles demonstrated that the integrins exhibited distinct patterns, but were mainly expressed in hemocytes. α1 and β2 subunits are the predominant ones either in the embryogenesis or larva stages. Interestingly, integrins were significantly up-regulated after stimulated by 20-hydroxyecdysone (20-E) in vivo. These results indicate that integrins performdiverse functions in hemocytes of silkworm. Overall, our results provide a newinsight into the functional and evolutionary features of integrins.

Commonly used to break down agricultural wastes of cellulose are fungal microorganisms of the genus, in a specific environment will produce mycotoxins, such as applied to the food easy to cause harm to the human body. Lactic acid bacteria are GRAS, if replaced by lactic acid bacteria fungi microbes will be able to improve some health and safety issues on the fermentation process. Therefore, this experiment aimed at screening with powerful plant cellulose-decomposing ability of lactic acid bacteria strains. Isolation of silkworm feces by MRS broth, selective medium, analysis of characteristics of lactic acid bacteria, total filter out 32 strains. Strain can decompose cellulose and xylose, and has the characteristics of lactic acid bacteria. Determination of cellulase enzyme activity, then the election of the top 10 did identification. 8 strains of high-probability is Enterococcus mundtii. 2 strains possibilities are Enterococcus casseliflavus, Enterococcus gallinarum. Strains of fungi and Aspergillus clavatus comparison cellulase enzyme activity results, although higher enzyme activity of fungi, but filtered strains still has advantages, can breed in anaerobic environments, use cellulose and xylose to grow. Research still has growth potential.
