  • Detection of fermentation-related microorganisms
    Patent number: 6287779
    Abstract: Unique DNA sequences characteristic of fermentation-related microorganisms are provided which are useful as primers in PCR-based analysis for identification of fermentation-related microorganisms
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 20, 2000
    Date of Patent: September 11, 2001
    Assignee: E. & J. Gallo Winery
    Inventors: Stacia R. Engel, Richard A. Morenzoni, Nancy A. Irelan
  • Detection of fermentation-related microorganisms
    Patent number: 6248519
    Abstract: DNA sequences are provided which are useful in identifying different fermentation-related microorganisms, such as those involved in fermentations. These DNA sequences can be used to provide oligonucleotide primers in PCR based analysis for the identification of fermentation-related microorganisms. The DNA sequences of the present invention include the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of the ribosomal RNA gene regions of particular fermentation-related microorganisms, as well as oligonucleotide primers which are derived from these regions which are capable of identifying the particular microorganism.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 11, 1998
    Date of Patent: June 19, 2001
    Assignee: E & J Gallo Winery
    Inventors: Stacia R. Engel, Richard A. Descenzo, Richard A. Morenzoni, Nancy A. Irelan
  • Detection of fungal pathogens
    Patent number: 6080543
    Abstract: Unique DNA sequences are provided which are useful in identifying different pathogenic fungi, such as those which infect grape plants. These unique DNA sequences can be used to provide oligonucleotide primers in PCR based analysis for the identification of fungal pathogens. The DNA sequences of the present invention include the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of the ribosomal RNA gene regions of particular fungal pathogens, as well as oligonucleotide primers which are derived from these regions which are capable of identifying the particular pathogen.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 8, 1997
    Date of Patent: June 27, 2000
    Assignee: E. & J. Gallo Winery
