International Classification:

C12P 300
C12P 104
B09B 300

US Classification:

435108

Abstract:

A process for producing hydrogen anaerobically in a culture medium or in the environment using a proteobacteria is described. Preferably the proteobacteria is Desulfovibrio sp. ATCC 55738 (FOX1). The hydrogen can be used as a fuel and for other purposes and is a staple chemical.

International Classification:

US Classification:

4352625

Abstract:

Substantial degradation of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) mixtures is carried out using the white rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium, under nutrient, carbon and nitrogen source rich, non-ligninolytic conditions. The PCBs with various numbers of ortho, meta, and para chlorines were extensively degraded, indicating relative nonspecificity for the position of chlorine substitutions on the biphenyl ring. Maximal degradation of PCBs in a mixture was observed in malt extract medium (18. 4% on a molar basis), in which most of the individual PCBs were degraded.

Filed:

International Classification:

C12N 900
C12N 100

US Classification:

4352625

Abstract:

An improved method for the degradation of haloaliphatic compounds using induced cells of sulfate reducing anaerobic bacterium, particularly Desulfomonile tiedjei, is described. The cells are induced using 1,3-substituted phenyl compounds, particularly 3-halobenzoates, such as 3-fluorobenzoate which are gratuitous inducers and thus are not dehalogenated. The result is a much more rapid dehalogenation of the haloaliphatic compounds than was achieved by prior art methods using uninduced cells.

International Classification:

A01G 9/10
A01G 13/00
A01G 9/02
A01G 1/00
A01G 7/00

Abstract:

The disclosure relates to a plant growth apparatus and related system to grow and maintain plants under controlled biotic conditions, for example to grow axenic (microbe-free) plants, gnotobiotic (defined microbiota) plants, and holoxenic (complex, or undefined microbiota) plants. This system allows aseptic bottom irrigation with water, soluble nutrients, chemicals, and/or microbiota. Plants can be inverted for dipping and/or vacuum infiltration. The system also allows for passive (gravity) drainage, thereby allowing for gas exchange and preventing root anoxia. A variety of plant growth substrates can be used within the plant growth apparatus as a plant growth medium. The plant growth apparatus, containing the growth substrate medium, can be completely flushed via the drainage port to remove potential toxic byproducts of the sterilization processes. The entire system is suitably constructed using autoclavable material.

US Classification:

356244, 2504581, 250206

Abstract:

The present invention provides compositions for making and methods of using a hand-held nucleic acid amplification device, comprising a disposable biochip with a series of sample wells, each sample well having a novel optical arrangement that includes a light-emitting diode (LED) and a single light capturing element (e.g. a photodiode) for quickly measuring light emissions from biological samples such as nucleic acid amplification reactions. Such a device can utilize isothermal amplification for obtaining detectable yields of amplified nucleic acid product in short time periods, for example, within seconds.
