  • Microorganisms and their use in agriculture
    Patent number: 10793484
    Abstract: A strain of Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus (Gd) characterised by the presence of at least one nucleic acid sequence selected from SEQ ID NOS 1-10 or variants or paralogues thereof and/or the presence of a single plasmid of about 17566 bp in size. Such strains, exemplified by IMI504853, are useful in agriculture, in particular as they are able to colonise plants intracellularly.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 27, 2016
    Date of Patent: October 6, 2020
    Assignee: Azotic Technologies LTD
    Inventors: David Dent, Dhaval Patel, Gary Devine

  • DIAGNOSTIC KITS
    Publication number: 20180216168
    Abstract: The invention provides a diagnostic kit comprising means to determine the presence in a sample of preferred strains the nitrogen-fixing bacteria Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus (Gd) which are based upon the finding that such strains comprises unique nucleic acid sequences and other features, that are detectable, even in the presence of plant genomic DNA. Methods for using the kits in agriculture are also described and claimed.
