| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 4576915 | Strains of Rhizobium phaseoli and preparation of cyclic (1.fwdarw.2)-ଲ - Novel strains of Rhizobium phaseoli which do not produce acidic extracellular polysaccharides or their constituents, which produces cyclic ଲ-1,2-glucan effectively.... | 03/18/1986 |
| 4567146 | Synthetic plasmid and bacteria containing it Bacteria of the genus Rhizobium nodulate legumes and are responsible for nitrogen fixation. The energetics of this process are improved if hydrogen uptake ability (Hup) is imparted to the bacteria to "recycle" some of the hydrogen lost during the nitrogen... | 01/28/1986 |
| 4434231 | Means for embedding microorganisms in a polymer matrix Novel processes are provided for the embedding of microorganisms within a polymer matrix wherein the matrix comprises a polymer gel having a base of at least one polymer selected from the group of polysaccharides, in which said polymer is at least partial... | 02/28/1984 |
| 4421544 | Legume-inoculating composition A viable fungal culture of the genus Arthrobotrys is combined with substantially dormant Rhizobia bacteria and a carbohydrate nutrient to provide a legume-inoculating composition which may be packaged, transported and stored for a reasonable time prior to... | 12/20/1983 |
| 4400466 | Process for the preparation of viscous water by action of micro-organisms Viscous water for use in oil extraction is produced continuously by bacterial action. A carbohydrate substrate, nitrogen-containing mineral salts and growth factors are introduced into a first fermenter chamber containing bacteria of the genus Rhizobium c... | 08/23/1983 |
| 4306027 | Pesticidally resistant rhizobium and agronomic use thereof This invention relates to Rhizobium strains having good infecting and nitrogen-fixing characteristics and which are resistant to fungicides. These strains are produced by cultivating a Rhizobium strain sensitive to a particular fungicide in the presence o... | 12/15/1981 |
| 4229544 | Living organism packaging A method of packaging, and the package so produced, for maintaining living organisms viable for a long period of time. The living organisms, such as bacteria, fungi, algae, etc., are mixed with a carrier, such as peat. The organism-carrier mixture is then... | 10/21/1980 |
| 4149869 | Seed coating techniques Seeds, for example, legume seeds, are coated with a mixture containing a caseinate salt and viable rhizobia bacteria.... | 04/17/1979 |
| 4136486 | Method and compositions for inoculating leguminosae with bacteria A method is described which uses a composition including a small non-toxic amount (less then about 0.001 part per part of the composition) of a water soluble adhesive agent, particularly an alkali metal salt of carboxymethyl cellulose, with water and with... | 01/30/1979 |
| 4094097 | Method for preparing a pesticidally resistant rhizobium and agronomic composition thereof This invention relates to Rhizobium strains having good infecting and nitrogen-fixing characteristics and which are resistant to fungicides. These strains are produced by cultivating a Rhizobium strain sensitive to a particular fungicide in the presence o... | 06/13/1978 |
| 4028185 | Method for producing L(+)-tartaric acid Calcium cis-epoxysuccinate whose average particle size is not larger than 100 micron is converted into calcium L(+)-tartarate by a microorganism in a high concentration and in a better yield. This process is accelerated in the presence of a nonionic type ... | 06/07/1977 |
| 4013509 | Production of L(+)-tartaric acid Calcium cis-epoxysuccinate is converted into calcium L(+)-tartarate by a microorganism in a high concentration and is a better yield. This process is accelerated in the presence of a nonionic type surfactant of the medium.... | 03/22/1977 |
| 4011135 | Production of L(+)-tartaric acid L(+)-tartaric acid is produced in a high efficiency from cis-epoxysuccinic acid by a microorganism belonging to the genus Pseudomonas, Agrobacterium or Rhizobium.... | 03/08/1977 |
