Phase II: Microbial Fermentation of Taurine for the Sustainable Production of a Nutritional Ingredient
SBC: NATAUR LLC Topic: 85Taurine an essential nutrient for human and animal health naturally occurs in meat and otheranimal products. As we shift to more plant-based food and feed diets taurine must be added asan ingredient or a supplement to maintain healthy taurine levels. Currently three Chinesecompanies produce 85% of the world's taurine supply using a petroleum-based process thatharms humans animals and the environme ...

Use of novel vector to defeat fungal pathogens using siRNAs
SBC: SILVEC BIOLOGICS INC Topic: 82Trees vines and bushes are plagued by pathogens causing over $100B in annual damage.Fungi are of particular concern causing 85% of pathogen-related crop losses. For many fungi likeBotrytis cinerea there are no varieties with natural resistance in its host range. As B. cinerea isestimated to cause over $10B in annual crop losses there is a strong driver for effective controlsolutions especially one ...

An Improved PCV-2 Vaccine
SBC: BIOLOGICAL MIMETICS, INC. Topic: 83Current PCV2 vaccines stimulate protective immunity to PCV2a and 2b serotypes but reducedprotection against evolving and emerging strains such as PCV2d 2g and 2h. We propose to useImmune Refocusing Technology (IRT) to reduce the immunogenicity of epitopes that stimulatesubtype-restricted immunity and refocus towards more broadly protective epitopes. Our first- generation IRT candidate demonstrated ...

Microbial Fermentation of Taurine for the Sustainable Production of a Nutritional Ingredient
SBC: NATAUR LLC Topic: 85Taurine (Tau) is an essential nutrient for humans and animals; it is needed for cardiovascularskeletal muscle vision and nervous system function. Tau is naturally occurring in meat and otheranimal products. As we shift to more plant-based food and feed diets Tau must be added as aningredient or taken as a supplement to maintain healthy Tau levels. The vast majority of Tau ismanufactured in China f ...

Improving the Energy Density and Performance of Detachable Redox Flow Batteries
SBC: Energao, Inc. Topic: 86In this project we aim to develop a novel iron-titanium redox flow battery with two detachableelectrolyte storage tanks. Iron-titanium batteries cost $80/kWh for energy storage—lower than$369/kWh of lithium-ion batteries and $399/kWh of vanadium flow batteries. An iron-titaniumbattery employs no self-igniting materials and its electrolytes are comprised of ~60% water— deeming it fire ...
