The present invention relates to a process for preparing a polymer/biological entities alloy, comprising a step of mixing a polymer and biological entities that degrade it, during a heat treatment, said heat treatment being performed at a temperature T above room temperature and said biological entities being resistant to said temperature T, characterized in that said biological entities are chosen from enzymes that degrade said polymer and microorganisms that degrade said polymer.

Process for preparing a polymer/biological entities alloy

The invention relates to a plastic compound comprising at least one polyolefin and a biological entity that degrades said polyolefin. The invention further relates to a process for preparing a plastic article wherein at least one polyolefin and one biological entity that degrades said polyolefin are mixed at a temperature at which the polyolefin is in a partially or totally molten state.

Plastic compound and preparation process

The present invention relates to a new isolated polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 99% or 100% identity to the full length amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:1, and having a polyester degrading activity, and uses thereof.

Polypeptide having a polyester degrading activity and uses thereof

The present invention relates to the field of medicine. It more particularly relates to the use of compounds for preventing and/or treating dyslipidemia in a subject, said dyslipidemia typically being linked to the excess presence in the biological membranes, including in the biological membranes of non-adipocyte cells, of fatty acids, in particular of saturated long-chain fatty acids, and/or of sterols. The invention also relates to compositions, in particular pharmaceutical compositions and food supplements or complements, comprising such compounds, and to the uses thereof for preventing and/or treating dyslipidemia. The compounds and compositions according to the invention can in particular be advantageously used for preventing and/or treating a pathological condition selected from metabolic syndrome and/or a symptom or abnormality characteristic of metabolic syndrome, preferably for preventing or treating type 2 diabetes mellitus or hepatic steatosis.

Compounds and compositions comprising such compounds for the prevention or treatment of dyslipidaemias

The present invention relates to the field of medicine. It relates more particularly to the use of compounds to prevent and/or treat lipotoxicity in a subject, especially lipotoxicity by hypoxia. The invention relates more particularly to compositions, especially pharmaceuticals compositions and nutritional supplements or complements comprising such compounds as well as their use to prevent and/or treat lipotoxicity, especially lipotoxicity by hypoxia. The compounds and compositions of the invention can especially be advantageously used to prevent and/or treat a pathology from among pulmonary pathologies, especially cystic fibrosis or a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Compounds, compositions and corresponding uses for preventing and/or treating of dyslipidemia

The invention relates to strains of bacteria of the genus, that can degrade polylactic acid. The invention also relates to an enzyme that can degrade polylactic acid, characterized in that it is produced by said bacteria strains according to the invention. The invention also relates to the applications of said bacteria strains and said enzyme that can degrade polylactic acid.

Bacterial strains and variants thereof that can degrade polylactic acid, and uses of same
