Liberación de compuestos al medio circundante durante la supervivencia a bajas temperaturas en Vibrio harveyi

Vibrio harveyi es considerado como una de las especies más relevantes del género Vibrio debido a su capacidad para infectar peces marinos e invertebrados. Estudios previos han demostrado que la respuesta de V. harveyi ante condiciones ambientales adversas (p.e. disminución de la temperatura) es su entrada en el denominado estado Viable No Cultivable (VNC), representando este estado una estrategia de supervivencia para algunas bacterias no diferenciadas. Se ha estudiado la respuesta de este microorganismo durante su incubación a bajas temperaturas (4˚C) utilizando como soporte tanto agua de mar como sobrenadantes recogidos en experiencias de superviviencia previas. V. harveyi presenta un patrón similar durante su incubación en agua de mar como en fases tempranas de estudio en sobrenadantes. Sin embargo, en fases tardías de estudio se ha comprobado que se retrasa su entrada en el estado VNC. Estos resultados sugieren que estas poblaciones podrían liberan compuestos al medio para favorecer su supervivencia bajo condiciones ambientales adversas.

Academic spin-offs incubation strategies: the case of the Andalusian region

[EN] The objective of this paper is to analyze the incubation strategies developed in the universities of Andalusia, a relatively low-income region of Spain, to promote the creation of university spin-offs. These strategies are also compared to the incubation models noted in the literature. The performance of the university spin-offs created and its relation to the incubation strategies developed by the university are also analysed. The analysis is based on data from a survey of nine public universities that carry out strategies for the promotion of university spin-offs. The result of the analysis shows that university spin-off incubation strategies in Andalusia present specific characteristics not covered by certain models that are well-known in the literature on innovation. Then, a new stage in the process of the university spin-off incubation is proposed. We consider it to be a pre-strategic stage to the academic spin-off incubation strategies. The analysis also finds certain environmental factors associated to those spin-offs promoted by Andalusian universities that achieve the highest level of performance. This result suggests that previous to making any decision involving investment into developing incubation strategies, universities should gauge whether they have sufficient resources and the possibilities of connecting with a Technology Park.
