Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for enhancing oil recovery from low permeability subterranean formation using three mechanisms: repressurization; reduction of interfacial tension; and increased permeability. The subject compositions comprise a chelating agent, a biosurfactant, a carbonate or bicarbonate salt, water, and a pH adjusting substance, which when applied to an oil-bearing formation according to the methods of the subject invention, allow for controlled release of carbon dioxide within the formation without complicated machinery or gas-producing microorganisms.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and methods for treating or preventing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and related conditions. The subject invention utilizes a composition comprising digestive enzymes, one or more probiotic bacteria, and microbe-based products that can be administered to a subject in need thereof.

Abstract: The subject invention provides a three-part method for increasing the amount of oil recovered from an oil well, the method comprising (1) paraffin removal; (2) gas release; and (3) plugging. The combination of parts provides for enhanced oil recovery over an extended period of time, for example two weeks or longer. In preferred embodiments, the subject invention utilizes microorganisms and/or their growth by-products, as well as other environmentally-friendly compounds, to enhance oil recovery by removing paraffin deposits from a well and providing controlled production of carbon dioxide in the well.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for improving the quality of life for a subject, particularly a child, diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In preferred embodiments, a supplement composition comprising natural or naturally-derived ingredients is delivered to a subject in the form of a chocolate bar or other candy alongside administration of an antiviral medication. Advantageously, the composition and methods can improve the immune health of the subject, along with other signs and symptoms associated with ASD, infections and other immunocompromising conditions.

Abstract: The invention relates generally to digestive disorders, and in particular to methods for treating irritable bowel syndrome by increasing carbohydrate absorption by administering a composition containing a Bacillus coagulans bacterium.

Abstract: The present application relates to probiotic grain-based compositions comprising lactic acid-producing bacteria.

Abstract: The present application relates to probiotic confection-based compositions comprising lactic acid-producing bacteria and oil-based compositions comprising the same.

Abstract: The present application relates to nutritional compositions comprising lactic acid-producing bacteria.
