| 20100190221 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING POLYHYDROXYALKANOIC ACID - Embodiments of the invention relate to the microbial production of polyhydroxyalkanoic acids, or polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), from substrates which cannot be used as a source of carbon and/or energy for microbial growth or PHA synthesis and which have microbial and environmental toxicity. According to one embodiment of the invention, a process for the production of PHA is provided wherein an enzyme such as methane monooxygenase is used to convert volatile organic compounds into PHA through the use of microorganisms that are unable to use volatile organic compounds as a source of carbon for growth or PHA production. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20100255540 | PROCESS FOR THE TREATMENT OF SUBSTRATE-VARIABLE METHANE EMISSIONS - The invention relates generally to a system and method the treatment of substrate-variable gaseous emissions comprising dynamic concentrations of organic materials comprising methane and one or more non-methane organic compounds that can be metabolized by methane-oxidizing microorganisms, and in one specific embodiment, to a system and method for the treatment of substrate-variable methane emissions through the use of methanotrophic microorganisms in a species-universal polymer production process. Certain embodiments of the invention are particularly advantageous because they reduce environmentally-destructive methane emissions and produce harvestable end-products. | 10-07-2010 |
| 20100279180 | PROCESS FOR THE UTILIZATION OF RUMINANT ANIMAL METHANE EMISSIONS - A process for the utilization of the methane produced by enteric fermentation, specifically to a process that utilizes methane produced by ruminant animals through enteric fermentation as a source of carbon and/or energy for the directed production of methane-based goods or processes is provided. | 11-04-2010 |
| 20120165500 | PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF POLYHYDROXYALKANOATES - Embodiments of the invention relate generally to processes for the production and processing of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) from carbon sources. In several embodiments, PHAs are produced at high efficiencies from carbon-containing gases through the utilization of a regenerative polymerization system. | 06-28-2012 |
| 20120225476 | SYSTEMS FOR THE UTILIZATION OF RUMINANT ANIMAL METHANE EMISSIONS - A process for the utilization of the methane produced by enteric fermentation, specifically to a process that utilizes methane produced by ruminant animals through enteric fermentation as a source of carbon and/or energy for the directed production of methane-based goods or processes is provided. | 09-06-2012 |
| 20130005006 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING POLYHYDROXYALKANOIC ACID - Embodiments of the invention relate to the microbial production of polyhydroxyalkanoic acids, or polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), from substrates which cannot be used as a source of carbon and/or energy for microbial growth or PHA synthesis and which have microbial and environmental toxicity. According to one embodiment of the invention, a process for the production of PHA is provided wherein an enzyme such as methane monooxygenase is used to convert volatile organic compounds into PHA through the use of microorganisms that are unable to use volatile organic compounds as a source of carbon for growth or PHA production. | 01-03-2013 |
| 20130337516 | POLYHYDROXYALKANOATE PRODUCTION METHOD - Provided are processes for the production and high efficiency processing of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) from carbon sources comprising carbon-containing gases or materials. | 12-19-2013 |
| 20140057343 | ENERGY PRODUCTION SYSTEMS UTILIZING RUMINANT ANIMAL METHANE EMISSIONS - A process for the utilization of the methane produced by enteric fermentation, specifically to a process that utilizes methane produced by ruminant animals through enteric fermentation as a source of carbon and/or energy for the directed production of methane-based goods or processes is provided. | 02-27-2014 |
| 20140206049 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING POLYHYDROXYALKANOIC ACID - Embodiments of the invention relate to the microbial production of polyhydroxyalkanoic acids, or polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), from substrates which cannot be used as a source of carbon and/or energy for microbial growth or PHA synthesis and which have microbial and environmental toxicity. According to one embodiment of the invention, a process for the production of PHA is provided wherein an enzyme such as methane monooxygenase is used to convert volatile organic compounds into PHA through the use of microorganisms that are unable to use volatile organic compounds as a source of carbon for growth or PHA production. | 07-24-2014 |
