Abstract: The present invention provides for a process for repairing damage to wood and related cellulosic products caused by termites and other wood damaging insects comprising the steps of providing a modification of the bacteria of the genus gluconacetobacter toxic to termites and other wood damaging insects; converting said bacterial modification into a bait attractive to termites and other wood damaging insects as a source of food; and allowing said bacterial modification to produce a by-product ooze capable of repairing would damaged by termites and other wood damaging insects. The process causes the build-up of wood like material, thus effectively repairing the termite damaged areas.

Abstract: The present invention provides for a bio-nematocide for repairing damage to wood and related cellulosic products caused by nematodes.

Abstract: The chemically synthesized compound Tricin 7-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside, native to the plant Deschampsia Antarctica and present in aqueous extracts of the plant Deschampsia Antarctica said compound having the ability to inhibit tumor growth in mammals with colorectal carcinoma.

Abstract: The present invention provides for the first time a biological system which provides the dual function of killing termites and other wood damaging insects while also producing a by-product substance having the capability of repairing damage by termites and other insects to wood and related cellulosic products. The present invention, a biological system, toxic to termites, is provided which produces a means by which damage caused by termites is repaired, said means comprising a by-product produced by a modification of the bacteria of the genus Gluconacetobacter. Preferably, the biological system is in the form of toxic bait.

Abstract: This invention discloses a process for the propagation and survival of Deschampsia antarctica suitable for industrial scale production. In particular, the process defines selected bioreactor conditions whereby morphologically high quality plants are obtained at high rates. This invention further discloses a bioreactor design which includes a design for automated temporary immersion of explants in a culture medium.
