  • Integrated system and process for bioproduct production
    Patent number: 9074173
    Abstract: Processes and systems for production of bioproducts such as biofuels are provided. The bioproduct production processes and systems utilize pretreatment of a carbohydrate-containing feedstock to produce soluble sugar molecules and continuous conversion of the pretreated feedstock to a bioproduct by an immobilized fermenting microorganism.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 1, 2013
    Date of Patent: July 7, 2015
    Assignee: Cobalt Technologies Inc.
    Inventors: David C. Walther, Hendrik J. Meerman, Stacy M. Burns-Guydish, Richard W. Wilson, Eamon T. Hogg, Gregory W. Luli, Robert Eckert

  • Kit for in vitro cell growth of eucaryotes using low molecular weight peptides containing L-glutamine
    Patent number: 5885835
    Abstract: A method and kit are provided for growing eucaryotic cells using a hydrolyzate of a protein material containing peptides and free amino acids. The hydrolyzed protein material contains L-glutamine, preferably in an amount of greater than 20 percent by weight. Ninety percent by weight of the hydrolyzed protein material is less than 1,000 kD in molecular weight. The free amino acid level is less than 20 percent by weight and the average peptide length is less than 20 amino acids.
    Type: Grant
