Abstract: A magnetic resonance member 1 includes a crystal structure and is capable of electron spin quantum operations with microwaves of different frequencies corresponding to arrangement orientations of a vacancy and an impurity in a crystal lattice. A magnetic field transmission unit 4 senses a measurement target magnetic field at plural measurement positions different from each other, and applies application magnetic fields corresponding to the measurement target magnetic field sensed at the plural measurement positions to the magnetic resonance member 1 along respective different directions corresponding to the aforementioned arrangement orientations. A measurement control unit 21 controls a high frequency power supply 12, and determines detection values detected by a detecting device (an irradiating device 5 and a light receiving device 6) of the physical phenomena corresponding to the plural measurement positions.

Abstract: A medium containing (A) a chromogenic substance which develops a color when decomposed by ?-glucosidase or a fluorogenic substance which develops a fluorescence when decomposed by ?-glucosidase; (B) a chromogenic substance which develops a color when decomposed by phosphatidyl inositol-specific phospholipase C or a fluorogenic substance which develops a fluorescence when decomposed by phosphatidyl inositol-specific phospholipase C; and (C) a sugar that is useful for the detection of Listeria monocytogenes and/or Listeria ivanovii.

Abstract: Provided is means for detecting Listeria monocytogenes and/or Listeria ivanovii in a simple and specific manner. A culture medium for detection of Listeria monocytogenes and/or Listeria ivanovii, provided containing the following components (A), (B), and (C): (A) a chromogenic substance which develops a color when decomposed by ?-glucosidase or a fluorogenic substance which develops a fluorescence when decomposed by ?-glucosidase; (B) a chromogenic substance which develops a color when decomposed by phosphatidyl inositol-specific phospholipase C or a fluorogenic substance which develops a fluorescence when decomposed by phosphatidyl inositol-specific phospholipase C; and (C) a sugar.

Abstract: A simple culture medium produced by impregnating a fibrous water-absorbent sheet with a suspension formed by suspending in an alcohol (a) an adhesive (0.01-0.4 wt. %) which is soluble in both water and alcohol, (b) a gelling agent which is soluble in water and insoluble in alcohol, and (c) a bacterial nutritive ingredient, the fibrous water-absorbent sheet having a mesh larger than the particle size of the gelling agent and being placed on a waterproof flat plate, and by drying the resultant sheet while suppressing rapid evaporation of the alcohol, to thereby cause the water-absorbent sheet to adhere onto the waterproof flat plate; and a method for producing the medium.
