VARIANT OF NITROUS OXIDE REDUCTASE PROTEIN AND METHOD OF REDUCING CONCENTRATION OF NITROUS OXIDE IN SAMPLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17751066 titled 'VARIANT OF NITROUS OXIDE REDUCTASE PROTEIN AND METHOD OF REDUCING CONCENTRATION OF NITROUS OXIDE IN SAMPLE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a new technology involving recombinant microorganisms and a variant of a nitrous oxide reductase protein for removing nitrous oxide in a sample.
- Recombinant microorganisms have been developed with a foreign gene encoding a variant of a nitrous oxide reductase protein.
- A composition is provided that includes the recombinant microorganism or the variant of a nitrous oxide reductase protein, which can be used to remove nitrous oxide in a sample.
- A variant of a nitrous oxide reductase protein is described, along with a polynucleotide encoding the variant.
Potential Applications
This technology has potential applications in various fields, including:
- Environmental remediation: The recombinant microorganisms can be used to remove nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas, from the environment.
- Industrial processes: The composition can be utilized in industrial processes that produce nitrous oxide as a byproduct, helping to reduce emissions.
- Agriculture: The technology can be applied in agricultural practices to mitigate nitrous oxide emissions from fertilizers and livestock waste.
Problems Solved
The technology addresses the following problems:
- Nitrous oxide is a significant greenhouse gas contributing to climate change. This technology provides a solution for reducing nitrous oxide levels in various settings.
- Current methods for nitrous oxide removal are often expensive, energy-intensive, or inefficient. The recombinant microorganisms offer a potentially more cost-effective and sustainable approach.
Benefits
The technology offers several benefits:
- Effective nitrous oxide removal: The recombinant microorganisms and variant protein provide an efficient means of removing nitrous oxide from samples.
- Versatility: The composition can be applied in different environments and industries, allowing for widespread adoption.
- Cost and energy savings: Compared to existing methods, this technology may offer cost and energy savings, making it more economically viable for large-scale implementation.
