Abstract: The present invention relates to bacteriocins for control of Salmonella enterica (salmocins). The bacteriocins are derived from Salmonella. The salmocins can be expressed in plants and can be used in a method of preventing or reducing infection or contamination of an object with Salmonella.

Abstract: The invention provides a sweetener or flavor modifying composition comprising Thaumatin of greater than 90% purity and at least one Mogroside.

Abstract: The invention provides a sweetener or flavor modifying composition comprising of Thaumatin and at least one Rebaudioside.

Abstract: A process of transiently transfecting a plant or leaves on a plant, comprising contacting said plant or said leaves with a suspension comprising Agrobacterium cells of strain CryX or a derivative strain of strain CryX, wherein said derivative strain has the chromosomal background of strain CryX or said derivative strain contains the vir plasmid of strain CryX or a derivative of said vir plasmid.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of producing a potexviral vector for expressing a protein of interest in a plant, comprising producing a second heterologous nucleic acid comprising a second ORF encoding said protein and having, in the second ORF, an increased GC-content compared to a first ORF encoding said protein in a first heterologous nucleic acid, and providing said potexviral vector comprising the following segments: (i) a nucleic acid sequence segment encoding a potexviral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, (ii) a nucleic acid sequence comprising or encoding a potexviral triple-gene block, and (iii) said second heterologous nucleic acid or a portion thereof comprising said second ORF.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of preventing or reducing contamination of food with Clostridium, comprising contacting said object with a composition comprising at least one endolysin active against said Clostridium.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of preventing or reducing contamination of an object such as food with enterohaemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC), comprising contacting said object with colicin M or a derivative thereof.

Abstract: A process of producing a preparation of cell wall-degrading enzymes, comprising: expressing in plants or plant parts one or more than one heterologous cell wall-degrading enzyme; harvesting said plants or plant part containing said one or more than one cell wall-degrading enzyme; and storing the harvest as a silage. The silage may be used for degrading cell wall components of plant material or for producing a bioalcohol.

Abstract: A process of transfecting a plant, comprising spraying parts of said plant with an aqueous suspension containing cells of an Agrobacterium strain and at least one abrasive suspended in said suspension, said Agrobacterium strain comprising a DNA molecule comprising a nucleic acid construct containing a DNA sequence of interest to be transfected into the plant.
