Abstract: An encapsulated liquid product and method for encapsulating hydrophilic liquid formulation prepared by crosslinking an alginic acid monomer with calcium lactate for use in administering liquid vaccines, attractants, repellents, toxicants, pesticides, and/or biomarkers to wildlife and livestock. The encapsulated liquid product is edible and biodegradable. Formulations can be produced without expensive machinery. Sublingual or buccal delivery of drugs encapsulating liquid products serves a dual purpose of enhancing mucoadhesion for improved uptake as well as containment prior to ingestion by the target organism. The ability to produce formulations without expensive machinery is currently lacking in the encapsulated liquid materials industry.

Abstract: A flow-through electrochemical detection system determines if an analyte is present in a sample. This system contains, at a minimum, an assay reaction chamber that contains a porous working electrode to which analyte capturing molecules are bound. As a sample passes through the working electrode, any analyte present in the sample binds to the analyte capturing molecules. After the sample passes through the flow-through electrochemical detection system, analyte detectors are placed inside the assay reaction chamber and bind to any analyte present. The analyte detectors contain a means for generating an electric current when exposed to a chemical or an enzyme. A potentiostat connected to the working electrode measures that generated current, thereby detecting the presence and quantity of the analyte in that sample.

Abstract: Aspergillus flavus is an opportunistic, saprophytic fungus that infects maize and other fatty acid-rich food and feed crops and produces toxic and carcinogenic secondary metabolites known as aflatoxins. In vitro studies showed a five-fold increase in antifungal activity of AGM182 (vs. tachyplesin1) against A. flavus. Transgenic maize plants expressing AGM182 under maize Ubiquitin-1 promoter were produced through Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. PCR products confirmed integration of the AGM182 gene, while RT-PCR of maize RNA confirmed the presence of AGM182 transcripts. Maize kernel screening assay using a highly aflatoxigenic A. flavus strain (AF70) showed up to 72% reduction in fungal growth in the transgenic AGM182 seeds compared to isogenic negative control seeds.

Abstract: Diets are described to increase productivity and reduce costs for the production of mealworm protein. Scalable, inexpensive, waste-free, and environment-friendly compositions using combinations of multiple by-products and food ingredients in the optimal proportions to optimize mealworm nutritional needs are described. The cost per kg of the new diets is similar or substantially lower than wheat bran, while at the same time improving growth, shortening development time, and increasing food conversion efficiency compared with wheat bran alone.

Abstract: A method of conducting oxidation in an inflatable bag bioreactor or a batch reactor is provided. The inflatable bag bioreactor or the batch reactor is used as an efficient, economical, and convenient reaction vessel. The inflatable bag bioreactor or batch reactor is rotated or rocked during the reaction to ensure continued exposure of the reaction mixture to the headspace gas in the vessel. The ability of the inflatable bag to expand or contract as the volume of the contents changes helps maintain consistent pressure and avoids the need to replenish the headspace gas.

Abstract: The present invention provides novel attenuated Pasteurella multocida strains that may be used, in live or killed form, to formulate vaccines that are highly protective against P. multocida infection in bovines, other mammals, and in birds. The present invention also identifies the combination of nanP and hyaC gene mutations as key to the provision of such vaccines. When appropriately formulated, antigenic material of numerous other bovine pathogens may be combined with the live attenuated Pasteurella multocida strains, to make effective combination vaccines.

Abstract: The hand carried enhanced penetrometer includes an electrical linear actuator system to advance a soil penetration rod into a test site soil during a penetrometer test. The penetrometer also includes a base plate system that uses an operator's static body weight to anchor the penetrometer to a test site surface during a penetrometer test. In operation, an operator places at least one foot on a penetrometer structural base plate and activates the linear actuator to advance a penetration rod into the test site soil. The tripod embodiment of the system includes an operator's seat that allows an operator to conduct a penetrometer test in a seated position while passively anchoring the penetrometer in place at the test site. The invention includes monopod, bipod, and tripod embodiments.
