Abstract: An object is to provide a means of highly producing an oxalate decarboxylase originating in a microorganism. A recombinant expression plasmid vector, which contains an ?-amylase promoter belonging to the genus Bacillus and an oxalate decarboxylase gene originating in a microorganism that is provided under the control of the promoter, is constructed. A host bacterium is transformed with this vector to prepare an oxalate decarboxylase producing bacterium. A recombinant oxalate decarboxylase is produced by culturing the producing bacterium and then recovering the oxalate decarboxylase thus produced.

Abstract: This disclosure provides a method of detecting a cylinder-to-cylinder gap abnormality of an air fuel ratio with sufficient accuracy according to an individual specificity of an air fuel ratio detecting module. Particularly, the method may be used for an engine to detect the cylinder-to-cylinder gap abnormality of the air fuel ratio of supplied air fuel mixture abnormality based on an output value of a linear O2 sensor. Under a first predetermined condition, an output characteristic of the sensor is measured. The measured output characteristic is compared with a reference characteristic set in advance to calculate a correction value for correcting the sensor output according to the individual specificity of the sensor. Subsequently, under a second predetermined condition, the sensor output value is corrected based on the calculated correction value to detect the abnormality based on the corrected output value of the sensor.

Abstract: A method for easily and efficiently separating a sialyllactose material from a milk material by exploiting the pH-dependent interactions between whey proteins and sialyllactose is disclosed. The method comprises concentrating a milk material at a pH of 5.2 or lower to obtain a concentrate, adjusting the pH of the concentrate to 5.5 or higher, and obtaining a low-molecular-weight fraction from the pH-adjusted concentrate. Since the method also allows separation of sialyllactose from lactose and minerals, sialyllactose may be obtained at high purity. The resulting sialyllactose material is highly useful for food, pharmaceutical, and other applications.
