A method of bonding together surfaces of two or more elements. The method includes the steps of providing two or more elements, applying an adhesive to one or more of the surfaces to be bonded together before, during or after contacting the surfaces to be bonded together with each other, and curing the adhesive, wherein the adhesive comprises at least one hydrocolloid.

The invention relates to an aqueous binder composition for mineral fibers comprising at least one polyelectrolytic hydrocolloid.

In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a system and method for the identification and characterization of a transglutaminase. Further, the present disclosure provides transglutaminase enzymes for forming isopeptide bonds, methods of forming isopeptide bonds in the presence of transglutaminases, and substrate tags for use with transglutaminases. In another aspect, the present disclosure provides glutamine-containing substrates (or Q-tag substrates) that are more resistant to proteases/clipping and therefore, more stable, than other Q-tag substrates, and their uses in substrate tags for cross-linking to an amine-donor tag via an isopeptide bond mediated by a microbial transglutaminase.

The present invention relates to a method of producing a coherent growth substrate product formed of man-made vitreous fibres (MMVF), comprising the steps of (vi) providing MMVF; (vii) providing an uncured binder composition; (viii) providing a superabsorbent polymer; (ix) forming a mixture of the MMVF, the uncured binder composition and the superabsorbent polymer; (x) curing the uncured binder composition in the mixture to form the coherent growth substrate product; wherein the uncured binder composition comprises at least one hydrocolloid.

A formaldehyde-free binder composition for mineral fibers which comprises at least one phenol containing compound and at least one protein.

An aqueous binder composition for mineral fibers which comprises at least one polyelectrolytic hydrocolloid.

The present disclosure provides a biosynthetic gene cluster of carrimycin. The biosynthetic gene cluster comprises 44 gene open reading frames (orf), i.e., 5 orfs (orf10-14) encoding polyketide synthase, 9 orfs (orf1, 4-6, 15 and 36-39) related to polyketone synthesis extension unit and modification, 16 orfs (orf9, 16-22, 24, 26, 28, 29, 33-35 and 41) related to glycosyl synthesis, 6 orfs (orf7, 8, 30-32 and 40) related to glycosyl transfer, 2 orfs (orf3 and 25) related to resistance, 4 orfs (orf2, 23, 27 and 42) possibly related to regulation, a tsr resistance marker gene orf (orf43) and a 4-mycaroseglucoside isovaleryl transferase gene orf (orf44).
