  • Methods for degrading toxic compounds
    Patent number: 8278063
    Abstract: The invention relates to bacteria, bacterial extracts, supernatants obtained from the culturing of said bacteria, polypeptides and compositions for degrading benzimidazole carbamate fungicides, carbanilate fungicides, sulfonamide herbicides, thioamide herbicides and/or synthetic pyrethroid insecticides. In particular, the invention relates to the identification of Nocardioides sp. which degrades benzimidazole carbamate fungicides, carbanilate fungicides, sulfonamide herbicides, thioamide herbicides and/or synthetic pyrethroid insecticides.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 27, 2008
    Date of Patent: October 2, 2012
    Assignee: Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation
    Inventors: Gunjan Pandey, Chris M. Coppin, Susan J. Dorrian, Robyn Russell, John Oakeshott

  • ENZYMES FOR DEGRADING HERBICIDES
    Publication number: 20100199363
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a new type of enzyme which is able to degrade amine-containing herbicides such as glyphosate and glufosinate, as well as polynucleotides encoding these enzymes. The invention also relates to transgenic plants producing these enzymes which are resistant to an amine-containing herbicide activity. In addition, the present invention provides methods of bioremediation which rely on the activity of this new type of enzyme.
