  • Patent number: 9556413
    Abstract: The invention described below relates to an enclosed cell sorting device and methods of using the device. The device is constructed so that the entire process of cell sorting can be conducted under fully anaerobic conditions to retain viability of anaerobic cells before, during, and after cell sorting. This is accomplished by creating an anaerobic atmosphere for the high speed cell sorter and all its components and by the use of airlocks that allow the introduction of anaerobic containers into the chamber containing the sample.

  • Publication number: 20150173356
    Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for treating, inhibiting or preventing the developing of a plant pathogenic disease. The compositions comprise volatile organic compounds effective to inhibit the growth of, or kill pathogenic microbes, including Ganoderma boninense. Invention compositions are especially useful in preventing and treating basal stem rot in the oil palm, and can be applied in the vicinity of the plant or used to sterilize the plant growth medium prior to or concurrent with plant growth therein.

  • Publication number: 20110182862
    Abstract: The present invention provides novel microorganisms, compositions and methods of use thereof, for treating, inhibiting or preventing the developing of a plant pathogenic disease and for killing or inhibiting growth of a variety of pests or pathogens. Provided are compositions comprising a novel endophytic fungal organism effective to inhibit the growth of or kill pests and pathogenic microbes, including Ganoderma boninense. Invention compositions are especially useful in preventing and treating basal stem rot in the oil palm, and can be applied on or in the vicinity of the plant or used to sterilize the plant growth medium prior to or concurrent with plant growth therein. The disclosure further provides substantially purified polynucleotides and polypeptides encoded thereby, together with methods of using those products, for example for making transgenic organism.
