Abstract: This disclosure describes compositions including dimethylglyoxime (DMG) and methods of using those compositions including, for example, to reduce the availability of nickel in the subject. In some aspects, the composition may be administered to a subject suffering from or susceptible to a bacterial infection and/or to a subject suffering from or susceptible to a amyloid-? peptide aggregation. In some aspects, this disclosure describes using DMG or a composition including DMG to disrupt a biofilm or reduce the likelihood of biofilm formation.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes pathogenic bacteria that have been modified to be deficient in NiFe hydrogenase activity; compositions comprising such modified bacteria, and the use of such bacteria to protect animals from pathogenic enteric bacterial infections.

Abstract: A system for selecting travel products is described. The methods and system of the invention enable a travel agent or client to search a travel database that contains information about: (i) technical specifications about a travel product; (ii) price information for the travel product; (iii) comparative pricing information about the travel product, e.g., travel specials; (iv) graphical and pictorial information about the travel product; (v) sales and promotional messages; (vi) a uniform resource locator (URL) address for a Web site containing information and hyperlinks to other Internet sites of interest on the Worldwide Web; or (vii) on virtual faxes. The methods and system of the present invention enable the travel agent to search a remotely located travel database using a wide range of selection criteria and provide the supplier of travel products with a comparatively inexpensive and rapid method for distributing information about all their travel products using a system of virtual faxes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to mutant strains of Bradyrhizobium japonicum that are characterized in an increased nitrogen fixation rate and an altered molybdenum metabolism. The mutant strains require higher levels of molybdate than wild-type Bradyrhizobium japonicum for expression of nitrate reductase activity. In addition, the mutant strains express free-living nitrogenase activity in medium treated to remove molybdate, where the wild-type require molybdate supplementation.
