摘要:
Disclosed herein is a method for producing ultra-low-sulfur content hydrocarbon fuel and product thereof. The method comprises selective biocatalytic oxidation of sulfur containing compounds present in the fuels employing enzyme lipase as biocatalyst in presence of controlled and incremental amount of hydrogen peroxide and carboxylic acid without using water or any co-factor for the reactivity of said enzymes.
摘要:
Disclosed herein is a method for biopile-based bioremediation of hydrocarbon waste with high aromatic content. The method comprises of isolating specific microorganisms and preparing microbial blend, preparing biopile, adding the microbial blend into the biopile, providing nutrient, aeration and watering of biopile.
摘要:
Disclosed herein a process for upgrading the liquid hydrocarbon fuels by reducing aromatic content, sulfur content and nitrogen content wherein the process comprising isolating polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) transforming microbes and preparing biocatalyst by mutagenesis, contacting the biocatalyst with the liquid hydrocarbon fuel in an aqueous medium for transforming the aromatic, sulfur, and nitrogen containing compounds to polar substances, subjecting the mixture of biocatalyst and the liquid hydrocarbon fuel to a process of bioconversion, removing the polar substances by liquid-liquid extraction with a polar solvent to obtain dearomatized, desulphurised and denitrogenated liquid hydrocarbon fuel and recovering the upgraded liquid hydrocarbon fuel.
摘要:
The invention provides methods, compositions, and kits for removal of biofilms from surfaces. The methods described herein comprise simultaneous or sequential application of a perhydrolase enzyme and a mixture of other enzymes, such as proteases, glucanases, esterases, mannanases, phospholipases, cellulases, and/or amylases, to a biofilm on a surface, to effect removal of the biofilm.
摘要:
The present invention provides means for the production of desired end-products of in vitro and/or in vivo bioconversion of biomass-based feed stock substrates, including but not limited to such materials as starch and cellulose. In particularly preferred embodiments, the methods of the present invention do not require gelatinization and/or liquefaction of the substrate.

A personal care composition is provided and includes an effective amount of a repeat sequence protein polymer. The personal care composition may be a hair care composition, a skin care composition, a nail care composition, a cosmetic composition, or an over-the-counter pharmaceutical composition.
摘要:
The present invention relates to engineering metabolic pathways in bacterial host cells which results in enhanced carbon flow for the production of ascorbic acid (ASA) intermediates. In particular, the invention relates to increasing the production of ASA intermediates in bacterial cells by enhancing the availability of gluconate resulting from the inactivation of endogenous gluconate transporter genes.
摘要:
The present invention provides compositions and methods for producing a polyol oxidase in microorganisms, and the use of polyol oxidases in cleaning compositions. The invention includes cleaning compositions that contain combinations of two or more POx oxidases, and cleaning compositions that contain combinations of two or more POx oxidases and a perhydrolase. In particular, the invention provides methods for expressing polyol oxidases in bacterial hosts for use in detergent applications for cleaning, bleaching and disinfecting.
摘要:
A nanocomposite of a repeat sequence protein polymer, such as a copolymer of silk and elastin, is produced by Supercritical Antisolvent Precipitation with Enhanced Mass Transfer (SAS-EM). The nanocomposite may include an active agent, such as a protein or hormone, that is releasably bound to the repeat sequence protein polymer.
