Abstract: A working vehicle includes a vehicle body to travel, a steering handle to be turned to steer the vehicle body, and a steering switch to steer the vehicle body separately from the steering handle. The steering switch may be a switch to be operated in a pressing manner or in a sliding manner to steer the vehicle body. In addition, the steering switch may be arranged around the steering handle.

Abstract: A working vehicle includes a steering handle, a vehicle body to travel by manual steering via the steering handle or automatic steering for the steering handle based on a scheduled traveling line, a setting switch to switch between valid and invalid, a setting mode to set at least the automatic steering before the automatic steering is started, and a display including a driving display portion to display driving information of the vehicle body during traveling. When the setting mode is switched to be valid, the display changes a displaying state of the driving display portion to another different displaying state different from the displaying state where the setting mode is invalid.

Abstract: A working vehicle includes an inertia detector to measure inertia information of a vehicle body, a rear axle supporting a rear wheel, and a transmission case rotatably supporting the rear wheel. The inertia detector overlaps with at least a portion of the transmission case in a plan view and is capable of accurately measuring inertia information when a vehicle body changes attitude.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a method capable of easily and rapidly inspecting the susceptibility of bacteria or fungi to an antimicrobial drug. The inspection method of the present disclosure is a method for inspecting susceptibility of bacteria or fungi to an antimicrobial drug using a micro-device having flow channels, including: incubating a mixture of the antimicrobial drug and a suspension to be inspected in the flow channels of the micro-device; and detecting bacteria or fungi derived from the suspension to be inspected in an observation area of the flow channels of the micro-device. The detecting step can be performed by detecting an increase or decrease in the number of or a change in shape of bacteria or fungi derived from the suspension to be inspected in the observation area by a microscope or the like.

Abstract: L-Cysteine is produced by culturing a microorganism having an ability to produce L-cysteine and modified so that expression of emrAB, emrKY, yojIH, acrEF, bcr, or cusA gene should be enhanced in a medium to produce and accumulate L-cysteine in the medium and collecting the L-cysteine from the medium. Genes coding for novel L-cysteine-excreting proteins are identified, and utilized for breeding of L-cysteine-producing microorganism to provide a novel method of producing L-cysteine.
