Title: Novel bacterium strains reducing sulfates and their use in decontamination of water polluted with sulfuric acid and loaded with metals and radioactive substances
Inventor: HARD BARBARA DR
IPC: C02F3/28
Filed: 1996-07-17
Abstract: The invention concerns sulphate-reducing gram-negative bacterial strains which grow under anaerobic conditions at pH-values between 3.9 and 9.5 and temperatures between 3 and 45  DEG C and which reduce sulphate to sulphide, utilize methanol as a carbon and energy source, do not require any carbon or energy source apart from methanol and are tolerant to metals.

Title: Method for controlling the filling process of pressurised-gas containers
Inventor: HERMELING WERNER
IPC: G01G17/04
