  • Patent number: 11889834
    Abstract: The present invention provides compositions comprising new strains of Pseudomonas fluorescens and Burkholderia cenocepacia. Secreted fraction compositions produced by these bacterial strains, and the methods for producing these compositions are also provided. Herein, the inventors demonstrate that these bacterial strains and compositions may be used to inhibit the growth of a broad spectrum of plant pathogens.

  • Publication number: 20230324403
    Abstract: One-step rapid gradient method for rapid generation of nanoantibodies (HHV) against any antigen. Where the method comprises the separation of nanoantibodies against a specific antigen from a nanoantibody expression library through the following steps: (a) binding the antigen of interest to beads made of protein-binding polymers (b) incubating the microorganisms of the expression library with the pearls of stage (a), (c) placing the beads of step (b) in a tube with an inert medium with a density greater than or equal to 1 g/mL and centrifuge for 45 s to 2 minutes at a rate between 150 and 250 g; d) discarding the upper fraction and supernatant with the free microorganisms, and obtain the beads with the linked microorganisms, which correspond to those that express HHV that recognizes the antigen.

  • Publication number: 20050197490
    Abstract: The present invention is related to a process for the production of high quality fatty acids and rosin acids and their mixtures from a refined raw material by means of solvent extraction with an apolar solvent characterized so that the raw material has less than 25% of water. By this way, the extraction process can be performed at normal conditions and without the use or addition of a polar or partially polar solvent.
