Abstract: This invention provides a novel disinfectant for teats of animals using a microorganism. The disinfectant for teats of animals of this invention is characterized in that it comprises a microorganism belonging to genus Brachybacterium. It is preferable to use a novel microorganisms, which is deposited as a bacterial strain AAA-a of the genus Brachybacterium (Accession No. FERM BP-6848) in the International Depositary Authority.

Abstract: The present invention provides a superoxide scavenger comprising a desirable material which is different from any conventional unstable superoxide dismutase and is available at a low cost, and the present invention also provides a beverage containing such a superoxide scavenger. The superoxide scavenger and beverage of the present invention comprise a composition extracted from a specific liquid. This specific liquid is prepared by: boiling a grain with a liquid to obtain a grain liquor; cooling the obtained grain liquor; adding a yeast into the cooled grain liquor; leaving the grain liquor with the yeast while supplying oxygen thereto; and sterilizing the resulting liquid by heating to obtain the specific liquid.

Abstract: A soil conditioner which improves the soil productivity (heart) inherent to soil by means of the oxidation and environmental activity of microorganisms and various metabolites thereof without using agricultural chemicals or chemical fertilizers in large quantities and which provides crops with the soil as an easily utilizable component, so that the yields of the crops can be increased and that the crops can be improved in savors, and a method of ameliorating soils, the soil conditioner containing at least one of Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei, Enterococcus malodoratus and Candida lipolytica.

Abstract: A method for eliminating Staphylococcus aureus is disclosed, including inoculating a microorganism of the genus Brachybacterium to Staphylococcus aureus to eliminate Staphylococcus aureus. A care garment, a care sheet or care bedclothes, each being immobilized with a microorganism or genus Brachybacterium, is also disclosed. One of the microorganismns of the genus Brachybacterium useful in the invention is novel and is deposited as a bacterial strain AAA-a of the genus Brachybacterium (Accession No. FERM BP-6848) in the International Depositary Authority for the deposit of microorganism.

Abstract: An effective water purifier containing microorganisms other than Bacillus strains and a method of water purification, the water purifier containing Lactobacillus paracasei subspecies paracasei, Enterococcus malodoratus and Candida lipolytica.

Abstract: A package for an EPROM provided with an ultraviolet-ray generating layer formed on the surface of an EPROM semiconductor chip to be excited by X-rays or gamma rays to generate ultraviolet rays, and both of the semiconductor chip and the ultraviolet-ray generating layer being sealed with a synthetic resin layer transmitting X-rays or gamma rays.
