A composition based on three strains of microorganisms to promote plant growth and serve as a plant protection product to protect plants from damaging influences including plant disease, pests or insects. The composition is comprised of isolated strains of Paenibacillus polymyxa M.sub.10, Azospirillum canadense B.sub.2, and Bacillus pumilus L.sub.13. A mineral mix is used to maintain the microorganism viable for a long time, maintaining high efficacy as a biopesticide and biofertilizer. The mineral mix combined with the fermented microorganisms is then further combined with a nutritional additive to enhance the biofertilizing and biopesticidal features of the composition. The resulting composition can be applied to plants in liquid form or to the soil in solid form.

The inventions discloses a composition comprising at least one N-acetyl lactosamine, at least one sialylated oligosaccharide and at least one fucosylated oligosaccharide, for use in preventing acute respiratory infections (ARI) and/or relieving symptoms of said ARI infections. Preferably said composition is a starter infant formula. Said acute respiratory infection is in particular bronchiolitis or otitis.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising at least one biological control agent selected from the group consisting of Paecilomyces lilacinus strain 251 (AGAL No. 89/030550) and Coniothyrium minitans CON/M/91-08 (DSM 9660) and/or a mutant of these strains having all the identifying characteristics of the respective strain, and/or at least one metabolite produced by the respective strain that exhibits activity against nematodes, insects and/or phytopathogens, and at least one fungicide (I) selected from the group consisting of inhibitors of the respiratory chain at complex I, II and III in a synergistically effective amount. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a kit of parts comprising said composition and the use of said composition.

Microbiota restoration therapy compositions and methods for manufacturing, processing, and/or delivering microbiota restoration therapy compositions are disclosed. An example method for manufacturing a microbiota restoration therapy composition may include collecting a human fecal sample and adding a diluent to the human fecal sample to form a diluted sample. The diluent may include a cryoprotectant. The method may also include mixing the diluted sample with a mixing apparatus and filtering the diluted sample. Filtering may form a filtrate. The method may also include transferring the filtrate to a sample bag and sealing the sample bag.

A pest-combating composition including sodium lauryl sulfate and one or more of C.sub.6-12 fatty acids, preferably lauric and/or capric and/or caprylic acid, soy methyl ester, and 2-undecanone, and methods of combating pests utilizing same, are disclosed. The compositions can include a carrier oil such as silicon oil, soy methyl ester, or a vegetable oil, and can be in the form of an emulsion. The composition may be constituted as a spray composition, an aerosol, a lotion, a paste, or another compositional form. Pests that may be usefully combated with such composition include flying insects, including flies, mosquitoes, and wasps, ants, including arthropods such as fire ants, ticks, fleas, cockroaches, silver fish, thrips, gnats, aphids, Japanese beetles, and agricultural and horticultural arthropods and insects including beetles (potato and bean), flea beetles, fleahoppers, squash bugs, slugs, leaf hoppers, harlequin bugs, milk weed bugs, spiders, mites, lice, rodents, and deer.

The present invention relates to a therapeutic substance and/or medicament and methods relating to the use of said substance and/or medicament for skeletal muscle regeneration using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) which can be applied directly or shortly after muscle damage or injury.

A concentrated bioenzymatic cleaning product is provided which maintains a homogenous composition under static conditions and does not require shaking or mixing prior to dilution. The concentrated bioenzymatic cleaning product includes bacillus spores, a suspending and/or rheology modifying agent, an odor control agent, a pH adjuster, and water. The types and amounts of ingredients are selected to maintain the bacillus spores in suspension under static conditions, enabling the concentrated bioenzymatic cleaning product to be diluted using a proportioner system.

The present invention relates to a novel bacterial strain belonging to Lysobacter capsici species, Lysobacter capsici AZ78, bacteria of said bacterial strain, and bacterial preparations related thereto, as well as to uses of the above for preparing a plant protection product—as well as to plant protection products comprising any of the above as well as to further related uses and methods.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising at least one biological control agent. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of this composition as well as a method for reducing overall damage of plants and plant parts.

Compositions and methods are provided herein for regenerating and repairing damaged or aged tissue or organs using nonviable lethally irradiated or lyophilized pluripotent stem cells.
