Abstract: The invention relates to self-assembled nanofibers of chitosan and bioactive compounds for use as nutraceuticals or drugs. Suitable bioactive compounds include molecules of a low molecular size with acid or lactone groups, aromatic rings and hydroxyls. The nanofibers are absorbed, without degradation, in the small intestine, containing and protecting the bioactive compounds until they reach target organs. The nanofibers also cross the blood-brain barrier, allowing the compounds to reach the brain where they act as a controlled release system. If the bioactive compounds are neuroprotectors, the nanofibers can treat or prevent neurodegenerative diseases, strokes and other diseases related to aging or associated with oxidative stress. The invention also relates to a method for obtaining the nanofibers involving mixing chitosan with the bioactive compounds and allowing self-assembly. The invention further relates to a dosage form containing the nanofibers, particularly for oral administration.

Abstract: The invention relates to a gene construct for detecting the presence of microorganisms that produce chemical molecules of the Acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL) type, comprising a first expression cassette that includes a copper-inducible promoter operably linked to the gene encoding the RhlR protein and, downstream of said first expression cassette, a second expression cassette including a promoter that is induced by the AHL-RhlR complex, said promoter being operably linked to a gene encoding a reporter protein. The invention also includes a genetically modified biosensor cell to detect the presence of microorganisms comprising said gene construct, as well as the method of detecting the presence of microorganisms that produce AHL-type chemical molecules by immobilizing the biosensor in an organic matrix, generating a surface that can be used to expose a sample of a fluid such as air or a liquid medium, and thus detect these molecules mediated by the biosensor cell.
