Abstract: A bacteriophage which consists of the nucleotide sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 1 or a nucleotide sequence having 90% or more identity thereto, as its genome, is capable of infecting and lysing a diabetes-inducible bacterium belonging to Fusimonas intestini,containing a cyclic single-stranded DNA.

Abstract: A method for analyzing a microbiota, comprising (1) dissolving a probe capable of non-specifically interacting with a plurality of microorganisms in a plurality of solvents having different ionic strengths and pH levels, wherein the probe comprises: (a) a cationic polymer and (b) an environment-sensitive fluorophore; (2) adding a test sample containing the microbiota to a plurality of probe solutions prepared in the step (1), thereby microorganisms in the test sample and the probe are interacted non-specifically; (3) measuring fluorescence intensities of the plurality of probe solutions to which the test sample has been added in the step (2); and (4) comparing the pattern of fluorescence intensities obtained in the step (3) with the pattern of fluorescence intensities obtained from a reference sample.

Abstract: A vehicle rear structure protects a battery unit in a rear-end collision. The vehicle rear structure has a battery unit positioned behind a torsion beam; first and second cross members spanning between side members; a frame member that supports the battery unit; a bridge member spanning from the first cross member to the second cross member, and connected at a rear flange to the second cross member; and reinforcements that are respectively disposed to the side members and reinforce the side members from the front edge to the rear edge of the second cross member. The torsion beam is positioned near directly below the second cross member. The side members slope down to the front from the front end part of the reinforcement.

Abstract: In a vehicle floor frame structure, side members 2 each include a floor side member 21 and a rear side member 22; the floor side member 21 is disposed on a main floor panel 11; the rear side member 22 is disposed on a rear floor panel 12; a reinforcement 3 is stacked on the floor side member 21 in a vertical direction with the main floor panel 11 interposed therebetween; an upper surface 3a of the reinforcement 3 becomes higher toward the rear of the vehicle body; a front portion 3b and lower portions of side surfaces 3c of the reinforcement 3 are joined to the main floor panel 11; a rear end portion 3d of the reinforcement 3 is joined to the vertical wall 13a in a front portion of the rear floor panel 12; a closed section space S1 enclosed by the main floor panel 11, a front portion 13 of the rear floor panel 12, and the reinforcement 3 is formed in a side view; a lower surface portion 21b of a rear end of the floor side member 21 becomes higher toward the main floor panel 11; and the upper surface 3a of the
