  • Publication number: 20240135626
    Abstract: A method, computer system, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for performing primitive batch binning are disclosed. The method, computer system, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium include techniques for generating a primitive batch from a plurality of primitives, computing respective bin intercepts for each of the plurality of primitives in the primitive batch, and shading the primitive batch by iteratively processing each of the respective bin intercepts computed until all of the respective bin intercepts are processed.

  • Patent number: 8715647
    Abstract: The use is provided composition as a feed additive which comprises one or more endoglucanases, and 0-20% by weight, based upon the content of cellulase proteins in the composition, of a cellobiohydrolase. The endoglycanases may be one or more of EGI, EGII, EGIII and any functionally active derivative of any thereof. Such endoglucanases may be obtained from a genetically modified strain of the fungus Trichoderma. Also provided is an enzyme-based feed additive which comprises EGI and/or EGII which lack the cellulose binding domain, and 0-20% by weight, based upon the content of cellulase proteins in the additive, of a cellobiohydrolase. A further enzyme-based feed additive is provided which comprises a cereal-based carrier, one or more endoglucanases, and 0-20% by weight, based upon the content of cellulase proteins in the additive, of a cellobiohydrolase.

  • Patent number: 7977051
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to cellulase compositions which share unique highly conserved regions with a known useful cellulase. More specifically, the present invention relates to a series of newly discovered enzymes from fungi and bacteria which are related by virtue of having at least one of five important conserved amino acid sequences which are also present in EGIII.

  • Publication number: 20070105203
    Abstract: Methods are provided for preparing improved fermentation strains of the family Enterobacteriaceae which comprise the steps of eliminating the cryptic plasmid from the progenitor strain thereby creating the improved strain. Methods for reducing the mobilization properties of resident plasmids in an Enterobacteriaceae strain containing a cryptic plasmid are also provided. The present invention provides the nucleic acid sequence of pS, a cryptic plasmid found in Pantoea which can be used to identify the cryptic plasmid in strains of Enterobacteriaceae.
