  • Method to produce novel polyketides
    Patent number: 6500960
    Abstract: Modified PKS gene clusters which produce novel polyketides in an efficient system in a host cell or in a cell free extract are described. The novel polyketides result from the incorporation of diketides of the formula wherein A is a moiety that activates the diketide, and at least one of R1 and R2 is a substituent other than that natively occurring in the diketide normally processed by the modified PKS cluster. The polyketides may also be glycosylated to provide antibiotics.

  • Method of detecting microscopic defects existing on a silicon wafer
    Patent number: 6174727
    Abstract: A silicon wafer having microscopic defects is immersed into the diluted hydrofluoric acid with spiking metal salt such as CuSO4.5H2O for 1 to 3 minutes. After immersing, metals which have selectively deposited on the microscopic defects are detected by using particle counters.
