  • Natural product and genetic data analysis and discovery system, method and computational platform therefor
    Patent number: 11842798
    Abstract: A method for linking a natural product and gene cluster is disclosed. In some embodiments, monomers of natural products are predicted from a gene sequence. In other embodiments, monomers of natural products are predicted from a chemical structure of a natural product. In another embodiment, monomers predicted from gene sequences are aligned with monomers predicted from chemical structures.

  • Hard surface deployed fiber
    Patent number: 10310211
    Abstract: A surface-mounted fiber segment includes at least one bare optical fiber glass segment disposed onto a receiving surface, and an adhesive material applied to the at least one bare optical fiber glass segment. The adhesive material substantially encapsulates the at least one bare optical fiber glass segment and adheres the at least one bare optical fiber glass segment onto the receiving surface.

  • Methods for binding and precipitating gold using microbial-derived metallophores and their uses
    Patent number: 10174401
    Abstract: The present application discloses metallophores that complex soluble gold and generate solid gold forms, including gold nanoparticles. In an embodiment, the metallophores are microbial metabolites isolated from organisms that are resistant to gold, or are analogs thereof. Methods of using the metallophores to extract and detect gold, along with detectors comprising the metallophores are disclosed.
