  • Patent number: 9408395
    Abstract: The instant invention refers to a novel process for potentiating the production of substances with antifungal activity obtained from Ganoderma lucidum, using a technological device for the differential, qualitative and quantitative expression of proteins and other bioactive molecules, selected from the group consisting of polysaccharides, triterpenoids, fatty acids and ganoderic acids. The compositions containing said substances showed antifungal activity and mycelium growth and fungi ascospore germination inhibiting activity, amongst them Mycosphaerella fijiensis, primary pathogenic agent causing black Sigatoka disease in banana and plantain crop fields.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 18, 2013
    Date of Patent: August 9, 2016
    Assignee: Universidad De Antioquia

  • Publication number: 20150046438
    Abstract: The disclosed subject matter is a process that can integrate specific information into a single account, in an open way, for the user. The matching process occurs based on the interest of the user, and not based on defined criteria somebody else created and forced onto the user, such as a specific company or another person's interest. The invention also has a viral process which allows the information to be available to different users very quickly and focused on the specific user's target of interest through the use of loyalty programs (or contests where permitted).

  • Publication number: 20080138875
    Abstract: The present invention provides method to produce fungi biomass from mycelia comprising inoculating differentiated cells or mycelia into a culture medium which contains at least NaNO3, KH2PO4, MgSO4, KCl, and a source of carbon. This method also includes incubation of said culture under a specific wave length in a specially designed tridimensional closed system or incubator in which all the internal surfaces have all the characteristics of a mirror.

  • Patent number: 4439349
    Abstract: The disclosed invention relates to mesoporous carbon which is useful as a catalyst or adsorbent for large organic molecules. Said carbon composition comprises a regular assembly of carbon particles thus allowing an accurate pre-determination of the size and size disbtribution of the pores and creating less tortuous pathways of interconnected pores. A method of preparation of said mesoporous carbon has been disclosed.
