Processes and apparatuses for producing biologically-active, protein-rich microparticles under ambient conditions are disclosed. A protein solution is atomized and collected in a dehydration solvent that is being mixed. The resulting protein microparticles retain high specific activity without the need for large amounts of stabilizing excipients.

Inhibitors of microbial heme oxygenase and their use for treatment of microbial infections and bioremediation. The inhibitors of microbial heme oxygenase are useful against a new class of antimicrobial agents to target infections that are persistently difficult to combat with the current spectrum of antimicrobial agents. Screening methods for selecting inhibitors of microbial heme oxygenase.
