Patent number: 10619458Abstract: A computer supported method, computer system and computer program product for exploring and producing a subsurface heterogeneous hydrocarbon source and generating a predictive production map of an area under investigation, based on microbial prospecting. Microbial data representative of microbial activity attributable to hydrocarbon microseepage and hydrocarbon productivity data of a plurality of geographic locations are retrieved and correlated by the computer in a data correlation algorithm, providing a threshold hydrocarbon productivity quantity and a truncated set of the retrieved microbial data. The set identifies individual types of the microorganisms and corresponding individual weighting factors computed by the data correlation algorithm, for distinguishing prospective hydrocarbon productivity quantities from non-prospective hydrocarbon productivity quantities.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2016Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: BIODENTIFY B.V.Inventors: Christianus Bernardus Maria Te Stroet, Roy Christiaan Montijn, Evgeni Levin, Frank Henri Johan Schuren

Patent number: 8986946Abstract: The invention relates to a method for real-time detection of viable microorganisms comprising: a. addition of a cell-permeable, phototautomeric compound to a micro-organism or other living cell; and b. measuring the fluorescent emission of said phototautomeric compound. Preferably the phototautomeric compound is salicylic acid, 2-hydroxy-1-naphtoic acid or 1-hydroxy-2-naphtoic acid. Further, the assay can he used to assess the antibiotic effect of a test compound. This test can be used as a high—throughput screening for compounds with antibiotic activity. Also part of the invention is the use of a cell permeable phototautomeric compound in a method for determining the viability of micro-organisms and for assessing the antibiotic effect of a test compound.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2008Date of Patent: March 24, 2015Assignee: Nederlandse Organisatie Voor Toegepast-Natuurwetenschappelijk Onderzoek TnoInventors: Remco Kort, Frank Henri Johan Schuren, Roy Christiaan Montijn
