Patent number: 9253988Abstract: The invention relates to the use of Bacillus licheniformis strain OBT618 (ATCC PTA-122188) for inhibiting Clostridium pathogens in a material such as water or manure contaminated with the pathogen. The strain can be added to drinking water, animal feed or animal litter to reduce disease caused by the presence of Clostridium in an animal.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2014Date of Patent: February 9, 2016Assignee: Osprey Biotechnics, Inc.Inventors: Christopher J. Reuter, Steven J. MacKenzie, Lauren G. Danielson, Vincent Scuilla

Patent number: 8609398Abstract: A process of selectively degrading fatty acids in fat-containing waste materials without significant degradation of triglycerides, thereby converting otherwise economically burdensome waste materials into valuable products, involves contacting a fat-containing waste comprising triglycerides and fatty acids with a bacterial culture comprising Pseudomonas bacteria capable of degrading fatty acids into water and carbon dioxide, and wherein the bacterial culture is substantially free of microorganisms capable of producing extra-cellular lipase in an amount that would cause significant degradation of the triglycerides.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2012Date of Patent: December 17, 2013Assignee: Osprey Biotechnics, Inc.Inventors: Christopher J. Reuter, Vincent Scuilla, Lauren G. Danielson, Steven J. MacKenzie

Patent number: 6676842Abstract: The present invention provides a method and device for preventing the formation of deposits in a drainage system (100). The device (10) includes a container (12, 212), connected by a flexible cord (20) to a stopper (22). An antimicrobial composition (24) is placed in the container and the container is inserted into a drain opening (102). The container moves to the bottom of the trap (106) of the drainage system. The container is preferably located at least partially beneath the water or drainage fluid (110) in the bottom of the trap. The cord and stopper prevent the container from moving beyond the trap. The cord and stopper allow for removal of the container from the drainage system, once the composition has been fully dispensed.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2003Date of Patent: January 13, 2004Assignee: Osprey Biotechnics, Inc.Inventors: Vincent Scuilla, Peter A. Vandenbergh, David E. Glendening, Perry T. Patterson
