摘要:
Substituted benzoimidazole compounds useful as anti-infectives that decrease resistance, virulence, or growth of microbes are provided. Methods of making and using substituted benzoimidazole compounds, as well as pharmaceutical preparations thereof, in, e.g., reducing antibiotic resistance and inhibiting biofilms.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for inhibiting expression of a target gene, which comprises introducing a cell, tissue, or individual organism with a double-stranded polynucleotide comprising DNA and RNA having a substantially identical nucleotide sequence with at least a partial nucleotide sequence of the target gene.
摘要:
A method of detection of cells, microorganisms, or molecules by the use of various combinations of fluorogens and a chromogens which yield fluorophores and chromophores when cleaved by specific enzymes and which can be viewed by UV and visible light. Included is the method of application of a family of compounds producing both insoluble fluorophores and chromophores identified as dual enzyme substrates.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an attenuated Plasmodium parasite having a genome comprising a non-reversible knockout of the PyPNP gene, a vaccine derived therefrom, and related methods and uses.
摘要:
A cartridge comprising: a container having a lower end; an aqueous suspension of dinoflagellates contained in the container; a gas port operatively coupled to the container, the port capable of directing a gas into the aqueous suspension in the lower end of the container; a gas vent operatively coupled to the container; and a shipping seal operatively coupled to the container to prevent the aqueous suspension from exiting the container.
摘要:
Process, apparatus and article for treating an aqueous solution containing biological contaminants. The process includes contacting an aqueous solution containing a biological contaminant with an aggregate composition comprising an insoluble rare earth-containing compound to form a solution depleted of active biological contaminants. The aggregate includes more than 10.01% by weight of the insoluble rare earth-containing compound. The insoluble rare earth-containing compound can include one or more of cerium, lanthanum, or praseodymium. A suitable insoluble cerium-containing compound can be derived from a cerium carbonate, a cerium oxalate or a cerium salt. The composition can consist essentially of cerium oxides, and optionally, a binder and/or flow aid. The aggregate includes no more than two elements selected from the group consisting of yttrium, scandium, and europium when the aggregate is to be sintered. Although intended for a variety of fluid treatment applications, such applications specifically include removing or deactivating biological contaminants in water.
摘要:
The invention provides devices and methods for the growth of photoautotrophic organisms. The devices and methods address issues related to the design of bioreactors, selection of a photoautotrophic organism, growth of the photoautotrophic organisms, extraction of biomass products, and/or use of the biomass products as a renewable energy source.
摘要:
The invention relates to a digalactolipidic antigen exposed on the surface of apicomplex parasites, in the form of a vegetable-type digalactoglycerolipid, and adapted for inducing the production of specific antibodies capable of inhibiting the proliferation and/or the invasive properties of said parasites; the invention also relates to a derived antibody or functional antibody fragment, and to their diagnostic, immunotherapeutic and vaccine applications in human beings or animals.
摘要:
A method of accelerating decomposition of non-living plant material from a ground surface. The method employs the application of a saprotroph containing suspension to non-living plant material such as leaves or the stubble of a cultivated crop. The suspension is formulated with a pH and nutrient level whereby the physiologic activity of the saprotroph is optimized. The deposited saprotroph containing suspension accelerates the natural decomposition process without decomposing living plant material. A resulting humus is thereby formed which brings nutrients back into the ground surface.
