Abstract:
For the purpose of providing a method of safely and inexpensively producing a fermented plant extract containing an immunopotentiator at a high concentration, the method for fermentation and culture of the present invention ferments a plant component such as wheat flour using Pantoea agglomerans which is a gram negative bacterium which lives in a symbiotic relationship with a plant such as wheat and apple. It becomes possible to remarkably augment an immunopotentiation action which the plant has. In addition, these are not contaminated with impurities derived from animal components, and thus these are highly safe.

Abstract:
The goal of the present invention is to provide substances to prevent diseases by activating inherently possessed functions, for cultured fishes and shellfishes and livestock with tendency of decreased immune function due to densely populated breeding environment, and for humans with tendency of easily lowered immune functions due to complicated social structures and aging. The present invention expresses marked effect in preventing infection and cancer by administrating appropriate dose of swine plasma, swine plasma albumin, peptides isolated from swine plasma and swine plasma albumin, and swine plasma mixture, among others including fine powder of Crustacea (including crust of Crustacea), to activate immune function of Crustacea, Pisces, Aves, Mammals, and humans.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a vaccine for edwardsiellosis and streptococcosis in a fish. Specifically, disclosed is a vaccine for edwardsiellosis in a fish, which comprises inactivated cells of (A) an Edwardsiella tarda strain derived from the target fish, and inactivated cells of (B) an Edwardsiella tarda strain derived from a fish other than the target fish, wherein, when the strain (A) is a typical Edwardsiella tarda strain, the strain (B) is an atypical Edwardsiella tarda strain, whereas when the strain (A) is an atypical Edwardsiella tarda strain, the strain (B) is a typical Edwardsiella tarda strain. Also specifically disclosed is a vaccine for edwardsiellosis and/or streptococcosis in a fish, which comprises the components mentioned above and inactivated cells of (C) Streptococcus iniae and/or Streptococcus parauberis.

Abstract:
An electronic imaging device is provided which includes a first lens group which takes in a luminous flux from a subject along a first optical axis, an optical axis conversion member which bends the luminous flux along a second optical axis which intersects with the first optical axis, a second lens which images the bent luminous flux to an imaging element, and an optical amount adjustment unit provided between the second lens group and the optical axis conversion member. An AF motor, a driving unit which drives the optical amount adjustment unit, and a zoom motor are each selectively arranged at one of four spaces formed by a first plane defined by the optical amount adjustment unit and a second plane defined by the first and second optical axes. The AF motor, the driving unit, and the zoom motor may all be arranged at one side of the second plane.
Abstract:
An optical apparatus according to the present invention includes a cylindrical holding barrel, a plurality of moving lens frames which are held in the holding barrel such that the moving lens frames are moved back and forth in an optical axis direction, and a cam cylinder fitted on an outer surface of the holding barrel so as to move the moving lens frames. The cam cylinder slides and rotates on the outer surface of the holding barrel, and includes a first cam cylinder and a second cam cylinder each having a cam section on an inner surface thereof, and one end face of the first cam cylinder and one end face of the second cam cylinder are coupled to each other such that the first and second cam cylinders are rotated together.

Abstract:
An improved crankcase ventilation system including an improved blow-by gas separator wherein it will be insured that oil cannot accumulate in the separator chamber under any running conditions so that the oil is totally precluded from being able to pass into the induction system.
Abstract:
A preventive agent against infectious diseases of crustacea, which comprises a glucan having a main chain consisting essentially of beta-1,3-glucopyranosyl residues and/or mycelia of the glucan-producible fungus as an effective component.
