摘要:
Novel bacterial strains are described which produce and secrete chitinase as a result of the introduction of foreign DNA linked to a sequence encoding chitinase, an enzyme that degrades chitin. The bacterial strains can be used to provide protection for plants against chitinase sensitive plant pathogens. Methods of preparing the chitinase producing bacterial cells are also described. Methods of protecting plants from chitinase sensitive pathogens are also described.

A 2-halo-pyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid of formula: ##STR1## wherein X is a halogen atom, for example, 2-chloro-pyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid. A 2-substituted-pyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid derivative of formula: ##STR2## wherein R.sub.1 is a halogen atom, NH.sub.2 --, HO-- or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy group and R.sub.2 is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy group or a halogen atom with the proviso that, if R.sub.1 is a HO-- group, R.sub.2 is not a halogen atom and with the proviso that, if R.sub.2 is a halo group, R.sub.1 is not an amino group. A 2-substituted-pyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid derivative of formula III wherein R.sub.1 is a HO-- group and R.sub.2 is an ethoxy group.
摘要:
The mixture of natural microorganisms causes a biodegradation of mineral oils and mineral oil products. It contains Pseudomonas putida and Geotrichum candidum in a ratio of the cell-numbers of 5:1 to 1:1. The mixture is induced by a cultivation in the presence of oil-acid. Afterwards, one works with it on hydrocarbons under the supply of oxygen as well as in the presence of stimulation-substances at a pH-value of 4.5 to 7.5 and at a temperature of 5.degree.+C. to 35.degree. C.
摘要:
A method of growing cells of Pseudomonas putida, preferably mutants of strains NCIB 11680 or 11767, to induce in them an enzyme capable of converting an aromatic or substituted aromatic compound to a corresponding cyclic dihydroxy compound. Suitable inducers include pyridine and substituted pyridines.
摘要:
A method for degrading linalool using Pseudomonas strains is described. Also described are novel Pseudomonas putida strains which degrade linalool and in some instances geraniol and citronellol. A method for producing 6-methyl-5-heptene-2-one using certain novel strains is also described.
摘要:
Bacteriophage-resistant plant growth promoting rhizobacteria are employed for enhancing the yield of root crops, such as potatoes, sugar beets, radishes and the like, grown in soils which are infected by bacteriophage which limit the root colonization by the corresponding wild-type rhizobacteria.The strain SH5 PR3 was deposited at the ATCC for patent purposes on Jan. 20, 1983, and granted Accession No. 39270.
摘要:
Compositions of selected strains of Pseudomonas bacteria having the ability to utilize halogenated aromatic compounds as a sole carbon source are described. The bacteria are isolated from environments where they have been in long association with halogenated aromatic compounds, usually analagous compounds. First L-tryptophan and then a halogenated aromatic hydrocarbon are used as sole carbon sources for isolating and testing the selected strains. The isolated Pseudomonas strains are Pseudomonas putida; Pseudomonas sp. NRRL-B-12,538 or NRRL-B-12,539 or transfer derivatives thereof and are useful for degrading halogenated aromatic pollutants, particularly mono- and di-chloroaromatics.
摘要:
Compositions and methods for controlling pests are provided. The methods involve transforming organisms with a nucleic acid sequence encoding an insecticidal protein. In particular, the nucleic acid sequences are useful for preparing plants and microorganisms that possess insecticidal activity. Thus, transformed bacteria, plants, plant cells, plant tissues and seeds are provided. Compositions are insecticidal nucleic acids and proteins of bacterial species. The sequences find use in the construction of expression vectors for subsequent transformation into organisms of interest including plants, as probes for the isolation of other homologous (or partially homologous) genes. The pesticidal proteins find use in controlling, inhibiting growth or killing Lepidopteran, Coleopteran, Dipteran, fungal, Hemipteran and nematode pest populations and for producing compositions with insecticidal activity.

摘要:
Methods for bioremediation of environmental media contaminated with at least one perchlorate compound. A Pseudomonas consortium of P. putida strain B, P. putida strain E, and P. fluorescens strain G was provided to contaminated water, soil, etc. under conditions to result in bioremediated water, soil, etc. In embodiments, the method is used ex-situ, e.g., in a reactor vessel, or is used in-situ.
