A conserved inner-core oligosaccharide epitope expressed on the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of a range of disease causing pathogenic bacterial isolates, including Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (Ap), Mannheimia haemolytica (Mh) and Pasteurella multocida (Pm), is disclosed. Construction of a mutant bacterial strain exclusively expressing the conserved inner core OS epitope as a terminally exposed structure has allowed the identification, production and isolation of an inner core LPS which is common to all three organisms. Further provided are associated vaccines, antibodies raised against the conserved LPS inner core and glycoconjugates comprising the LPS inner core linked to an immunogenic carrier.

A biodegradation process for the organophosphonate product of Sarin (O-isopropyl methylphosphonofluoridate) hydrolysis, i.e., isopropylmethylphosphonate (IMPA). This process provides a feasible biodegradation demilitarization alternative to Sarin incineration. Public opposition of nerve agent incineration is widespread, and alternative methods are sought to help the U.S. Army meet the 2007 demilitarization deadline imposed by the Chemical Weapons Convention. This process uses a two-step approach to IMPA biodegradation. In the first step, a concentrated IMPA solution is used as the sole nutritional carbon and phosphorus source for microbial cultures. The second step involves diluting the culture and adding an inexpensive carbon source to encourage bacterial phosphate assimilation. The biodegradation typically involves a consortium of microorganisms comprising Methylobacterium radiotolerans GB21, Agrobacterium tumefaciens GB2GA, Klebsiella oxytoca GB2CS, GB272, Aureobacterium sp. GB2 and three bacterial isolates belonging to the same species GB23, GB272, and GB292.

These kits can be used on bacterial isolates and has the potential for use directly on foods and environmental samples.

The invention provides a culture method for improving yield and viscosity of bacterial polysaccharides. By using the characteristic that penbritin can be simultaneously used as a mutagenic agent and bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan to synthesize stress factors, the penbritin is added to subsequent subculture processes of bacterial isolates for producing different polysaccharides; the adding amount of the penbritin is gradually increased along with an increase of passage number, so as to improve thrill on bacterial cells; and a series of high-producing strains with different viscosities and improvement degrees can be screened in the continuous passage process, so as to adapt to different application requirements. Therefore, the production cost is reduced.
