This invention relates to a method for controlling microorganisms comprising coating a surface with a removable, antimicrobial film-forming composition.

Removable antimicrobial coating compositions and methods of use

Xylose-utilizing, ethanol producing strains ofwith improved performance in medium comprising biomass hydrolysate were isolated using an adaptation process. Independently isolated strains were found to have independent mutations in the same coding region. Mutation in this coding may be engineered to confer the improved phenotype.

[object Object]

The present invention relates to a thermophilic hydrophobin, TT1, or a protein or polypeptide substantially similar thereto, derived from the thermophilic fungus. The invention further relates to a polynucleotide encoding such hydrophobin, as well as to materials coated with such hydrophobin.

Thermophilic hydrophobin proteins and applications for surface modification

The present invention relates to the formation of amphipathic proteinaceous coatings on nanoporous polymers.

Amphipathic proteinaceous coating on nanoporous polymer

Applicants have provided methods for obtaining aliphatic omega-cyanocaboximides of Formula I

Production of .omega.-cyanocarboxamides from aliphatic

This invention relates to the enantioselective biologically-catalyzed hydrolysis of certain racemic nitriles to the corresponding R- or S-amides, chemically or biologically-catalyzed hydrolysis of the amides to the corresponding R- or S-acids in a batch process or in a continuous process that employs racemization and recycling of enantiomeric nitrile intermediates, the racemic nitriles being selected from the group, A--C(R.sup.1)(R.sup.2)CN, wherein A, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are as defined in the text, as well as certain biological materials employed to catalyze the process.

Process for the preparation of enantiometric 2-alkanoic acid amides from

This invention provides a process for enrichment of enantiomers of .alpha.-tertiary carboxylic acid esters from mixtures of corresponding esters using a biocatalyst comprising microbial cells, or partially or highly purified enzyme preparations. The enantiomeric ester products are useful as intermediates for the preparation of pharmaceutically and agriculturally active compounds.

Enzymatic process for the preparation of chiral .alpha.-tertiary

An improved fermentation process for producing carboxylic acids, especially fumaric acid, is disclosed. The improvement comprises growing fungi of genus Rhizopus in the presence of an effective amount of at least one additive selected from the group consisting of fatty acid esters having fatty acid residues of 12 to 24 carbons, and triglyceride mixtures.
