Abstract: A computerized system and a method for generating a custom software configuration for a hard drive of a computer system according to desired software configuration defined by a purchasing customer. The computerized system and method utilizes an image builder for creating a disk image of the desired software configuration and transferring the image to a storage device. The storage device is connected to an image server that transfers the disk image directly to the hard drive during a manufacturing and assembly process of the computer system. Once the computer system is assembled, the image server broadcasts the disk image to the computer system via a wired or wireless connection.

Abstract: Glucoamylase and acid fungal protease co-produced by the fermentation of fungal species capable of producing these enzymes are separated by carrying out the fermentation at a pH at which the protease associates itself with the fungal mycelium and removing the mycelium from the fermentation broth. The mycelium is then resuspended in an aqueous medium and the pH adjusted to cause the dissociation of the protease and mycelium with subsequent recovery of the protease from the aqueous medium.

Abstract: A culture filtrate of Cladosporium resinae (Strain ATCC No. 20495) has been found to contain a mixture of starch-degrading enzymes capable of bringing about efficient conversion of starch and pullulan into glucose. Culture conditions resulting in optimal production of the pullulan degrading activity been established. The amylolytic enzyme preparation obtained by culturing the fungus under these optimal conditions has been fractionated by ion-exchange and molecular sieve chromatography and shown to contain at least four enzymes, a maltase, .alpha.-amylase and two glucoamylase-type enzymes including a novel exo-pullulanase. The maltase and glucoamylase enzymes have been purified to homogeneity and their substrate specificity investigated. Both the mixture and the exo-pullulanase can be used in the manufacture of dextrose from starch.

Abstract: A novel mixture of starch-degrading enzymes is produced by a strain of Cladosporium resinae (Strain ATCC No. 20495). One component of this mixture is a novel exo-.alpha.-glucanase (exo-pullulanase). The enzyme mixture is prepared by culturing the microorganism and recovering the enzyme mixture from the medium after removal of grown cells. Exopullulanase can be isolated by fractionation of the mixture. Both the mixture and the exo-pullulanase can be used in the manufacture of dextrose from starch, and alone or in conjunction with appropriate other starch-degrading enzymes, in the production of specific starch conversion products, including fructose syrups. Both the mixture and the exo-pullulanase can also be used for increasing the fermentability of high DE starch conversion products, for example, in production of low calorie alcoholic beverages.
