Robert F. M. Van Gorcom has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Xylanase production
    Patent number: 6586209
    Abstract: An isolated DNA with a nucleotide sequence encoding a ripening form of a xylanase fungal origin having bread improving activity. Cells are transformed with this DNA and used to produce the ripening form of xylanase which itself is suitable for use in flour and dough.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 18, 1993
    Date of Patent: July 1, 2003
    Assignee: Quest International, B.V.
    Inventors: Robert F. M. van Gorcom, Johanna G. M. Hessing, Jan Maat, Martinus Roza, Johannes Maria A. Verbakel
  • Cloning and expression of microbial phytase
    Publication number: 20030119163
    Abstract: A nucleotide sequence encoding phytase has been isolated and cloned. The coding sequence has been inserted into an expression construct which in turn has been inserted into a vector capable of transforming a microbial expression host. The transformed microbial hosts may be used to economically produce phytase on an industrial scale. The phytase produced via the present invention may be used in a variety of processes requiring the conversion of phytate to inositol and inorganic phosphate.
    Type: Application
