  • Publication number: 20230159405
    Abstract: A bacterial product may comprise strains Azospirillum oryzae AO512, Azospirillum lipoferum AL20, Pantoea dispersa PD2, Bacillus subtilis TU2, Lysinibacillus sphaericus 3S and Paenibacillus polymyxa SR17, in a total minimal concentration of 108 CFU/g (Colony forming Units). These bacteria may be attached to an insoluble granular carrier formed of a mixture of natural clays and minerals. This formulation may preserve the viability of the microorganism for a long time while in storage, as well as after its application on the field. These microorganisms, as PGPR, may be capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen, solubilize phosphates, potassium, as well as other minerals immobilized in the soil, which allows for a drastic reduction, and even for a complete elimination, of conventional fertilization methods. These bacteria are not harmful in any sense neither to human beings nor the environment.

  • Publication number: 20220122696
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for generating an enhanced set of sequences for taxonomical classification are disclosed. In various embodiments, a plurality of reference sequences are received. Each of the plurality of reference sequences corresponds to a taxonomical classification. A label corresponding to at least one of the reference sequences is assigned to each of a plurality of supplemental sequences. Each of the plurality of supplemental sequences and each of the plurality of reference sequences are truncated to a region of interest to thereby generate a truncated set of sequences. Similarity is measured between pairs of truncated sequences in the truncated set of sequences to determine whether the similarity is above a predetermined threshold. An intermediate taxonomical label is assigned to the pair of truncated sequences in the truncated set of sequences when the similarity is above the predetermined threshold to thereby generate an enhanced set of sequences.
