Burkholdines 1097 and 1229, Potent Antifungal Peptides from Burkholderia Ambifaria 2.2 N

VTIP:10-060

Greenhouse and field trials with anti-fungal fractions recovered from cultures of Burkholderia ambifaria strain 2.2 N showed broad and potent anti-fungal activity against plant pathogens, including Botrytris, Alternaria, and Mycospherella species.Two cyclic lipopeptide burkholdines (Bk) were isolated from cultures of B. ambifera strain 2.2N and are fungicidal against a panel ...

Steam Explosion Method for Removal of Silica from Rice Straw

VTIP:08-121

Large quantities of rice straw are produced annually in rice producing areas throughout the world. However, because of the high silica content of the rice straw, it is cannot be processed value-added products. A steam explosion process has been developed that removes silica from rice straw and produces a ...

Producing Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) from Biodiesel-derived Crude Glycerol

VTIP:08-041

A novel fungal fermentation process has been developed which converts crude glycerol, a major byproduct of the biodiesel industry, into eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), an important omega-3 highly unsaturated fatty acid. Biodiesel production is rising exponentially which is creating an urgent need to develop new markets for large quantities of ...
