5426026 PCR identification of four medically important Candida species using one primer pair and four species-specific probes
PATENT ABSTRACTS
5425941 BIOLOGICAL CONTROL OF DISEASES OF HARVESTED AGRICULTURAL COMMODITIES USING STRAINS OF THE YEAST CANDIDA OLEOPHOLA Wilson Charles; Wisniewski Michael E; Chalutz Edo Frederick, MD, UNITED STATES Assigned to The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of Agriculture The present invention is drawn to isolates of Candida oleophila which are effective for the control of postharvest diseases in fruit and to biocontrol compositions which include such isolates. A method of utilizing the isolates to inhibit pathogens which cause postharvest diseases is also described. The organisms were isolated from the surface of tomato fruit and are useful for the control of a variety of fruit-rot pathogens in a variety of fruits.

The present invention relates to species-specific DNA probes specific for Vibrio vulnificus and Vibrio cholerae. The DNA probes of the present invention specifically detects Vibrio vulnificus or Vibrio cholerae in a mixed bacterial sample based on unique ribosomal RNA nucleotide sequences. When the DNA probes of the present invention are tagged with a labeled molecule such as a fluorescent label, it affords direct and immediate visualization of individual bacterial cells, and a rapid method of detection of bacterial infection in humans and shellfish without culturing.
5426026 PCR IDENTIFICATION OF FOUR MEDICALLY IMPORTANT CANDIDA SPECIES USING ONE PRIMER PAIR AND FOUR SPECIES-SPECIFIC PROBES Jordan Jeanne Pittsburgh, PA, UNITED STATES Assigned to University of Pittsburgh
5426024 FERMENTATION METHOD AND FERMENTOR Flores-Cotera Luis B; Garcia-Salas Sergi Mexico City, MEXICO Assigned to Centro de Investigacion y de Estudios Avanzados del Instituto Politecnico Nacional A method for aerobic production of microbial cells and/or cell metabolites in a fermentation vessel having at least a riser and at least a downcomer. The method is especially useful to conduct high cell density fermentation processes and involves the controlled addition of an antifoam agent, for maintaining a predetermined and relatively high gas hold up within the fermentor. Also disclosed are various types of fermentors for practicing the method of the invention.
5426025 SPECIES-SPECIFIC DNA PROBES FOR VIBRIO VULNIFICUS METHODS AND KITS Reeves Robert H; Bennison Brenda W; LaRock Paul Tallahassee, FL, UNITED STATES Assigned to Florida State University
The subject invention relates to A set of DNA primers which, when utilized in conjunction with the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay, can amplify and speciate DNA from four medically important Candida species. Furthermore, the PCR amplified products, generated by the primers, can also be used to create species specific probes which can also detect and confirm the four species of Candida. Thus, the present invention allows for early diagnosis and treatment of an infection.
