BACKGROUND

  • 2-nonenal is a volatile compound associated with the ageing process.
  • 2-nonenal’s odor is described as a combination of cucumber, orris, and fat.
  • The overabundance of 2-nonenal on the skin of 40+ year-old people comes from the breakdown of omega-7 fatty acids.

 AIMS

  • Model the 2-nonenal diffusion from the skin to the air
  • Recreate the conditions of old person skin, which contains 2-nonenal
  • Discover or evolve bacteria to enable the breakdown of 2-nonenal

 RESULTS

  • Modelled the diffusion of a 2-nonenal from the skin through the air.
  • Discovered bacterial species capable of growing in nutrient poor media with 2-nonenal as the primary carbon source
  • Measured toxicity threshold of 2-nonenal
  • Determined the smell detection limit of 2-nonenal

Była sobie raz mała słodka dzieweczka, którą każdy pokochał, kto ją tylko zobaczył, a najbardziej kochała ją babcia, która nie wiedziała wprost, co jeszcze jej dać. Pewnego razu podarowała jej kapturek z czerwonego aksamitu, a ponieważ bardzo ładnie jej leżał, nie chciała nosić niczego innego. Odtąd nazywano ją więc Czerwonym Kapturkiem. Pewnego dnia matka rzekła do dziewczynki. "Chodź, Czerwony Kapturku, masz tu kawałek placka i butelkę wina. Zanieś to babci, bo słaba jest i niedomaga. Babcia bardzo się ucieszy. Ruszaj w drogę nim nastanie upał, a idź ładnie i nie zbaczaj z drogi, bo inaczej sobie kark utrącisz i babcia niczego nie dostanie. A gdy wejdziesz do izby, nie zapomnij powiedzieć Dzień Dobry i nie rozglądaj się po wszystkich kątach."
