Reduction and induction of protein folding

Номер: US20130025197A1
Принадлежит: Individual

The Reduction and Induction of Protein Folding is a process where isotopes of atoms that compose a protein are replaced by other isotopes that can either enhance proper or improper protein folding in a living organism. To enhance proper protein folding, atoms or molecules with isotopes with typically the same number of protons and neutrons can be applied to a living organism through a created environment. To enhance improper protein folding, atoms or molecules with isotopes with typically different number of protons and neutrons can be applied to a living organism through a created environment. The isotopes in an atom or molecule can be accumulated and created artificially, respectively, where the living organism consumes the accumulated atoms or created molecules where eventually the living organism will only contain the isotopes or molecules that contain the desired isotopes.

A method and device for the biological control of insects

Номер: EP0462978A1

Un procédé et un dispositif insecticides commodes, économiques, non toxiques et efficaces permettent d'éliminer des insectes en les attirant vers une concentration élevée d'un champignon entomopathogène, par exemple, Metarhizium anisopliae et Beauveria bassiana, de sorte qu'ils soient infectés par le champignon et meurent. Les champignons sont placés dans l'environnement que l'on veut traiter au moyen d'un dispositif qui assure le contact des insectes avec les champignons et leur infection. Dans un mode préférentiel d'élimination biologique de cafards, les cafards sont exposés aux champignons au moyen d'une chambre de contamination pourvue d'ouvertures à travers lesquelles les cafards pénètrent et entrent en contact avec une culture de champignons vivants pathogènes pour les cafards. Les spores des champignons s'attachent aux cafards, germinent et pénètrent dans leur corps, provoquant la mort des cafards infectés. La mort survient de deux à trois semaines approximativement après le contact avec la culture. Pendant ce temps, les cafards infectés distribuent les spores du champignons pathogène dans les zones infectées, ces spores pouvant infecter ultérieurement d'autres cafards. Dans les conditions ambiantes appropriées, les champignons produisent des spores sur le cadavre des cafards infectés et les conidies peuvent être transmises à d'autres cafards, propageant la maladie.
