Abstract:
Provided is a method for improving the yield of rhamnolipids comprising culturing medium containing a triglyceride containing oil and sweetener as a carbon source.
Abstract:
Provided are organic solvent free methods for obtaining compositions comprising one or more rhamnolipids as well as compositions obtainable from said methods.
Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to electric power and process heat generation using a modular, compact, transportable, hardened nuclear generator rapidly deployable and retrievable, comprising power conversion and electric generation equipment fully integrated within a single pressure vessel housing a nuclear core. The resulting transportable nuclear generator does not require costly site-preparation, and can be transported fully operational. The transportable nuclear generator requires an emergency evacuation area substantially reduced with respect to other nuclear generators as it may be configured for operation with a melt-proof conductive ceramic core which allows decay heat removal even under total loss of coolant scenarios.
Abstract:
Provided is a method for decolorizing and optionally neutralizing a rhamnolipid composition comprising treating said composition with a percarbonate salt as well as the decolorized and optionally neutralized composition obtainable therefrom. Also provided ' a method for improving the quality of wastewater generated during said method.
Abstract:
Provided is a semi-continuous fermentation method of a rhamnolipid producing microorganism to produce rhamnolipids. The fermentation may be run as a batch process but at the end of the fermentation, at least about 70% of the fermentation medium comprising one or more rhamnolipids is drawn out and the new culture medium (feedstock) is fed in as a replacement. This process may be repeated for at least about one month without having to sacrifice RL yield and titer. It allows the fermenter to be utilized at a higher capacity with less downtime for clean-up compared to batch and fed batch fermentation strategies.

Abstract:
A method for detecting and manipulating a malicious actor/communication on a computer network or system. The method includes the steps of incorporating one or more synthetic vulnerabilities into the computer system at distinct locations, where each synthetic vulnerability presents an opportunity for exploitation by a malicious actor/communication, detecting an exploitation of one of the vulnerabilities by an actor, analyzing the actor to determine if the actor is a malicious actor/communication; and manipulating the malicious actor/communication. A computer program on a storage medium is also disclosed.

Abstract:
An exhaust gas water extraction system includes an evaporator component in a diffusion absorption refrigeration ('DAR") unit. The system also includes an exhaust gas input duct comprising an input opening to receive exhaust gas from an exhaust gas source. The exhaust gas input duct operates as a heat source to power the DAR. An evaporator heat exchanger is connected to receive the exhaust gas from the exhaust gas input duct. The evaporator heat exchanger is disposed to generate a heat exchange between the evaporator component and the exhaust gas that cools the exhaust gas to below the dew point. A water collection container receives water condensing from the exhaust gas during the heat exchange with the evaporator component.
Abstract:
Provided is a Ralstonia eutropha cell which is able to form at least one rhamnolipid, wherein the cell has ben transfected with at least one vector comprising (a) rhlA, rhlB and rhlC genes from Pseudomonas aeruginosa; and (b) xylA, xylB, xylF, xylG and xylH genes from Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf01; wherein the genes may be present on the same vector or on different vectors. In some embodiments, endogenous phaA, phaB and phaC genes have been deleted from the genome of the cell. In further embodiments, the cell is incapable of producing poly(3-hydroxyalkanoates). Also provided are methods for producing rhamnolipids in Ralstonia eutropha cells. Further provided are vectors for transfecting Ralstonia eutropha cells for the production of rhamnolipids.
