Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to methods for more efficiently recycling reduced electron carriers in a hydrogen-oxidizing microorganism with an operable Calvin-Benson cycle; synthetic carbon fixation pathways that recycle reduced electron carriers more efficiently than the Calvin-Benson cycle, such as methods for enzymatically converting carbon dioxide to formate and assimilating the resulting formate into central carbon metabolism; methods for producing biochemical products; and recombinant hosts utilizing one or more synthetic carbon fixation pathways.
Abstract:
A composition for the treatment of fiber, yarn and fabrics, said composition comprising at least one highly dispersible clay nanoparticle component, at least one silicone polymer component; and water. Also provided is fiber surface treated with these compositions as well as articles including yarns, fabrics and carpets of the surface treated fiber.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a process for hydrogenating a dinitrile comprising contacting the dinitrile with hydrogen over catalyst comprising at least 90 wt.% iron in the presence of promoter comprising at least one selected from alkali metal and alkaline earth metal promoters.
Abstract:
This document describes biochemical pathways for producing 4-hydroxybutyrate, 4-aminobutyrate, putrescine or 1,4-butanediol by forming one or two terminal functional groups, comprised of amine or hydroxyl group, in a C5 backbone substrate such as 2-oxoglutarate or L-glutamate.
Abstract:
The disclosures herein relate to hydrophobic thermoplastic nylon resins, their manufacture and to hollow conduits, pipes and articles produced from these resins. The conduits, pipes and articles from these resins exhibit increased water resistance and burst stress values.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to methods for separating at least one amine chosen from diamines and omega-aminoacids from a feed mixture using a simulated moving bed (SMB) adsorptive technology.
Abstract:
A fiberfill that provides a cooling effect, comprising a synthetic filament at least partially coated with a polymeric treatment, wherein the polymeric treatment comprises at least one hydrophilic finish disposed on the synthetic filament.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides novel polypeptides with improved 3-buten-2- ol dehydratase activity, polypeptides with improved linalool dehydratase activity, and polypeptides with catalytic activity in the conversion of 3-methyl-3-buten-2-ol to isoprene. Methods of making and using the polypeptides are also provided.
Abstract:
Disclosed are nickel-containing complexation precursors having high complexation activity for bidentate phosphite ligands. Also disclosed are methods of making the complexation precursors. The disclosed method of generating the nickel-containing complexation precursor includes including contacting a nickel starting material with a reductant under conditions sufficient to generate a nickel-containing complexation precursor having at least about 1,500 ppmw sulfur in the form of sulfide.
Abstract:
A surface fiber treatment, carpets, carpet tiles, rugs and flooring systems prepared with the treatment and a method for applying the treatment for various purposes including pest control are provided. Pesticides such as diatomaceous earth, borax, and silicon dioxide are applied to a carpet backing in a manner that preserves fiber softness.
