Proteus Signs an Industrial Product Development Agreement.Business Editors NIMES, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 15, 2000 Proteus and the Griffith University, Nathan, Brisbane, Australia, have signed an agreement in which (i) Proteus has acquired exclusive rights to access to a collection of microorganisms of industrial interest for research, development and commercialization of certain products such as enzymes and secondary metabolites on an exclusive basis and (ii) a collaboration has been initiated where Griffith University will prepare new isolates from specific environments as required to fit Proteus ongoing screening programs. This agreement will capitalize on years of research led by Prof. Bharat K. C. Patel of the School of Biomolecular and Biomedical Sciences, Griffith University and a renown expert in microbial diversity, molecular phylogeny and biotechnology. His laboratory studies extreme environments such as anaerobic anaerobic /an·aer·o·bic/ (an?ah-ro´bik) 1. lacking molecular oxygen. 2. growing, living, or occurring in the absence of molecular oxygen; pertaining to an anaerobe. environments (eg insect gastrointestinal tracts), thermal environments (volcanic hot springs, Great Artesian Basin Great Artesian Basin, c.670,000 sq mi (1,735,300 sq km), between the Eastern Highlands and the Western Plateau, E central Australia, extending S from the Gulf of Carpentaria, Queensland, to NE South Australia and N New South Wales. of Australia, oil fields) and saline environments (oil fields, salt lakes).
