DEFINITION

Classification: 435/243

MICROORGANISM, PER SE; E.G., PROTOZOA, ETC., COMPOSITIONS THEREOF; PROCESS OF PROPAGATING, MAINTAINING, OR PRESERVING MICROORGANISMS OR COMPOSITIONS THEREOF; PROCESS OF PREPARING OR ISOLATING A COMPOSITION CONTAINING A MICROORGANISM; CULTURE MEDIA THEREFOR:

(under the class definition) Subject matter including microorganisms, compositions containing, processes under the class definition for propagating, processes under the class definition for preserving or maintaining, processes under the class definition for isolating, processes under the class definition for preparing compositions containing and, compositions under the class definition for use in propagation of microorganisms.

(1) Note. microorganisms for the purpose of this subclass include actinomycetales, unicellular algae, bacteria, fungi (yeast and molds), and protozoa. virus propagation is provided for in subclass 235 and animal or plant cell cultivation in subclasses 410+.

(2) Note. The mere propagation of a microorganism to produce a recoverable chemical product is excluded herefrom.

(2) Note. Subcellular parts of a microorganism are not appropriate for this and the indented subclasses.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

29+, for measuring or testing processes which involve viable microorganisms and the use of selective media to identify a particular microorganism.

41+, for propagation processes which produce a recoverable chemical product.

42, for the symbiotic propagation of genetically dissimilar microorganisms to produce a product. 173.1+, for the use of magnetic or wave energy to enhance mictrobial growth or product production.

283.1+, for apparatus used in the cultivation, propagation, or innoculation of microorganisms.

317.1, for subcellular parts of microorganisms such as organelles.

320.1, for vector, e.g., plasmid, cosmid, etc.
