  • Process for inclusion of mycorrhizae and actinorhizae in a matrix
    Patent number: 5021350
    Abstract: This invention relates to a process of inclusion of microorganisms of the group consisting of mycorrhizae and actinorhizae in a polymer gel matrix to prepare a solid, stable, storable preparation suitable for use in particular for agronomic purposes. The polymer gel matrix is based on at least one polymer from the polysaccharide group, with at least partial cross-linking of the polymer.

    Inventors: Gerard Jung, Jacques Mugnier, Yvon Dommergues, Hoang G. Diem
  • Low-water-activity inocula for biological control
    Patent number: 4886664
    Abstract: A method of preparing inocula of low water activity is disclosed. The inocula are prepared by admixing microorganisms with a polymer gel and lowering and maintaining the water activity below 0.3, preferably below 0.1. These inocula are useful in the treatment of plant disease, particularly crown gall and Dutch elm diseases, as well as in the biological control of insects.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 8, 1983
    Date of Patent: December 12, 1989
    Assignee: Rhone-Poulenc, S.A.
    Inventors: Gerard Jung, Jacques Mugnier
  • Immunosuppressant substances, process for their preparation and pharmaceutical compositions containing them
    Patent number: 4810692
    Abstract: The invention provides two novel immunosuppressant cyclodepsipeptides of formula: ##STR1## in which X is chlorine or hydrogen. These compounds may be made by culturing Streptomyces sp. S-16328 (CBS 162.86). The compound in which X is chlorine may be hydrogenolysed to give the compound in which X is hydrogen.
    Type: Grant

    Inventors: Maurice Deschamps, Francois Floc'h, Gerard Jung, Rodolphe Margraff
  • Inocula of low water activity with improved resistance to temperature and rehydration, and preparation thereof
    Patent number: 4755468
    Abstract: Inocula having a long storage life and improved resistance to temperature and rehydration and a method of preparing them are disclosed. The method of the invention comprises admixing a culture medium containing microorganisms of the genus Rhizobium and at least one carbohydrate source in a polymer gel and then lowering the water activity of the resulting inoculum and maintaining the water activity at less than 0.1.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 19, 1985
    Date of Patent: July 5, 1988
    Assignee: Rhone-Poulenc S.A.

  • Method of producing endomycorrhizian fungi with arbuscules and vesicles in vitro
    Patent number: 4599312
    Abstract: Provided is a method of obtaining endomycorrhizian fungi with vesicles and arbuscules in vitro. The method comprises producing dicotyledone roots which have been genetically converted by inserting genes of root inducing or tumor inducing plasmid into the genome of dicotyledone roots, and then inoculating the converted roots with endomycorrhiza spores. Application of the present method can be very useful in agriculture and horticulture.

  • Means for embedding microorganisms in a polymer matrix
    Patent number: 4434231
    Abstract: Novel processes are provided for the embedding of microorganisms within a polymer matrix wherein the matrix comprises a polymer gel having a base of at least one polymer selected from the group of polysaccharides, in which said polymer is at least partially cross-linked. The embedded microorganism products are useful in the inoculation of leguminous and non-leguminous plants in order to increase their nitrogen-fixing potential and nutrition, respectively.
