Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of producing starter cultures. In particular, a method for customers in need of a starter culture with a consistent quality, is provided. Specifically, the method involves the use of subsets of a stock inoculum material, which comprises a concentrate of starter culture organism cells to be propagated for direct inoculation of a cultivation medium, to obtain a starter culture whereby the conventional stepwise preparation of inoculum material for the production of a starter culture can be avoided. This novel method can be used for the manufacturing of starter cultures for the food, feed or pharmaceutical industry. Furthermore, the method is useful in the cultivation of cells expressing desired products, such as primary and secondary metabolites, including e.g. enzymes and flavours.

Abstract: Fire-fighting equipment utilizes a fire-extinguishing aerosol that is formed during burning of pyrotechnical composite. A pyrotechnical, aerosol-forming fire-extinguishing composite is formed with good deformation strength characteristics, low fire-extinguishing concentration and regulated burning velocity. The pyrotechnical aerosol-forming fire-extinguishing composite contains an oxidizer, a production process additive and burning binder formed by thermoplastic formaldehyde and phenol polycondensate, plasticized by dicarboxylic acid ester and reinforced by polytetrafluoroethylene. The composite is produced by mixing of formaldehyde and phenol polycondensate suspension in an organic solvent and polytetrafluoroethylene dispersion in dicarboxylic acid ester, mixing the resulting composition with an oxidizer and a production process additive with subsequent thermomechanical effect. The composite can be used for fire-extinguishing in different structures and devices without harmful effect on human body, living organisms and nature.

Abstract: Disclosed is a new system for generating recombinant
adenovirus vectors and adenovirus-based expression
libraries, by positive selection of recombinants deleted
for this endogenous protease gene, which gene is
expressibly cloned into another region of the adenoviral
genome. In a preferred embodiment, the invention allows
positive selection of E1-deleted, protease-deleted
recombinant adenovirus vectors comprising an exogenous
gene or an expressible piece of exogenous DNA, by
providing an expression cassette comprising the protease
gene and the exogenous DNA inserted in place of E1 region
in a shuttle vector.  In vivo  recombination of the
shuttle vector with a protease-deleted adenoviral genome
in suitable non-complementing cells generates viable
recombinants only when rescuing the protease cloned in E1
region. Non-recombinant viral genomes are not able to
grow due to the deletion of the protease gene, ensuring
that only recombinant viral plaques are generated. This
positive selection can be used for the generation of a
large number of high purity recombinant adenovirus
vectors and allows generation of adenovirus-based
libraries with diversity exceeding 10 6  clones.
