Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a network policy. The method includes receiving at an interface a goal-based rule specifying a network policy that is to be enforced at each of a plurality of enforcement points; communicating the goal-based rule to one or more processors executing instructions stored on memory to provide a rules service; generating a first serialized rule based on the goal-based rule and a first enforcement point of the plurality of enforcement points, wherein the first serialized rule is in a first format interpretable by the first enforcement point; generating a second serialized rule based on the goal-based rule and a second enforcement point of the plurality of enforcement points, wherein the second serialized rule is in a second format interpretable by the second enforcement point. The method further includes enforcing the first serialized rule at the first enforcement point and enforcing the second serialized rule at the second enforcement point.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating at least one object for a network policy. The method includes receiving at an interface a first object including a first plurality of data entries of a first type; storing the first object in a cloud accessible storage location for subsequent access; receiving at the interface a second object including a second plurality of data entries of the first type; storing the second object in the cloud accessible storage location for subsequent access; receiving a request to enforce a network policy that uses the first object; determining, using one or more processors executing instructions stored on memory, that the first object references the second object; and enforcing, using the one or more processors, the network policy using the first object and second object.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an engineered Corynebacterium strain and a process of making succinic acid in microaerobic conditions. The process of making succinic acid as disclosed in the present invention utilizes carbon dioxide as secondary carbon source during production phase and replaces bicarbonate as a source of secondary carbon. Further, integration of gas recycle and the biomass recycle in the process made it sustainable while having minimal or no loss in specific productivity for succinic acid production. The present invention has the advantage of yielding higher succinic acid levels while reducing resource costs.

Abstract: The present invention provides at least two modified gene sequences, Sequence 1 comprising of nucleotide sequence of SEQ. ID no.1, and Sequence 2 comprising of nucleotide sequence of SEQ. ID no.2, encoding the enzyme choline oxidase wherein the gene sequences have been obtained by modifying the codA gene (Accession no. X84895) encoding choline oxidase from Arthrobacter globiformis, and a method to enzymatically produce betaine using choline oxidases encoded by Sequence 1, and Sequence 2, wherein the enzymatically produced betaine has minimal undesired trimethylamine contamination.
