METHODS OF FERMENTATION OF RECOMBINANT BACILLUS SPORES
20220411844 · 2022-12-29 ·

The present invention provides a method for producing a fermentation product by culturing recombinant exosporium-producing Bacillus cells that express a fusion protein of interest on the exosporium in a medium containing sources of carbon and nitrogen in a total concentration of at least 20 g/L, resulting in a fermentation broth containing a high titer of the recombinant Bacillus spores.

SELF-STERILIZING FABRICS INCORPORATING ANTI-VIRAL COLD-ACTIVE PROTEASES
20220411996 · 2022-12-29 · ·

The invention provides fabrics that incorporate a cold-adapted trypsin derived from a fish or a crustacean, which trypsin inactivates viruses. The fabrics of the invention may be used in the production of various items of self-sterilizing protective equipment including gowns, sheets, curtains, surgical hats, surgical booties and protective facemasks.

VARIANT MALTOPENTAOSE/MALTOHEXAOSE-FORMING ALPHA-AMYLASES

Disclosed are compositions and methods relating to maltopentaose/maltohexaose-forming α-amylases. The variant α-amylases are useful, for example, for starch liquefaction and saccharification, for cleaning starchy stains in laundry, dishwashing, and other applications, for textile processing (e.g., desizing), in animal feed for improving digestibility, and for baking and brewing.
