Compositions are provided that contain biologically active components of amniotic fluid including growth factors and other proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and metabolites. The compositions containing biologically active components of amniotic fluid can be useful for a range of therapeutic treatments including joint and soft tissue repair, regulation of skin condition, and for use in organ preservation, such as for use in organ transplant procedures. Advantages of the compositions include that they can be reproducibly produced, without the inherent variability of amniotic fluid from individual donors, and that they are free of fetal waste.

The present invention provides a method of controlling bacterial contamination using synergistic interactions of antimicrobials. The invention consists of combinations of chlorine dioxide and organic acid whose combined antimicrobial effect is greater than the sum of their individual activities, i.e., synergistic.

The present invention includes compositions and methods of for treating plants infected with fungal pathogens by contacting an infected plant or plant at risk of infection with a fungicidal composition comprising an fungicide selected from copper compound such as copper octanoate or copper hydroxide, or a triazole fungicide such as myclobutanil, propiconazole, tebuconazole or epoxiconazole, an enhancer selected from apyrase inhibitors, e.g., N-(m-toly1)-[1, 1′-biphenyl]-4-sulfonamide, S-heptyl 2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carbothioate, 3-(N-(4-bromophenyl) sulfamoyl)-N-(3-nitrophenyl) benzamide, or (E)-3-methyl-N-(1-(naphthalen-2-yl) ethylidene) benzohydrazide and, optionally, a phytologically-acceptable inert carrier.
