An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing an immobilized microorganism having high filtration properties, and to provide a method for producing an amino acid using the immobilized microorganism. A method for producing an immobilized microorganism is characterized in that a microorganism is contacted with carboxymethyl cellulose sodium salt and then contacted with polyethylenimine and an alkane dial after the first contact with carboxymethyl cellulose sodium salt.

Cellulosic capsules comprising an interior hydrophobic medium and use thereof such as for adsorbing cellulose-hydrolyzing enzymes, are provided.

Disclosed herein is a method of utilizing an enzyme in a nucleic acid manipulation process, the method comprising: a) transforming a microorganism with a non-native enzyme; b) inducing expression of the enzyme in the microorganism, thereby producing the non-native enzyme; c) adding the microorganism of step b) directly to a non-naturally occurring nucleic acid manipulation process, wherein the non-native enzyme is not purified from the microorganism prior to addition to the nucleic acid manipulation process; and carrying out the nucleic acid manipulation process using the enzyme. Importantly, this method can be carried out without the need to purify the enzyme from the cell producing it before it is used in the nucleic acid manipulation method. Also disclosed herein is a kit for carrying out a nucleic acid manipulation process, the kit comprising a) a microorganism expressing a non-native enzyme; b) nucleic acids of interest; and c) reagents for use in the nucleic acid manipulation process.

The invention relates to a microbial delivery where biochar acts as a carrier for microbes.

The disclosed technology relates to a method of immobilising a protein on a substrate. The disclosed technology further relates to the substrate comprising the immobilised protein, the use of the substrate in a wound dressing, and the use of the wound dressing in a method of treating a wound.

The present invention relates to a method for reducing or preventing the formation or activity of a corrosion-associated biofilm on a metal surface, wherein the method comprises contacting the metal surface with a liquid composition comprising biocidal preparation. The present invention also relates to a microbicidal composition comprising at least one alcohol, one liquid hydrocarbon, a bacteriophage immobilized on a magnetic nanocomposite, at least one phage releasing reagent and one stabilizer. The microbicide composition and method of the present invention reduces biofilms on surfaces, and consequently, reduces, mitigates, or eliminates MIC in internal surface of the oil transporting pipelines.
