Abstract: Provided is a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute the steps including a step of subjecting a sample containing microorganisms to mass spectrometry to obtain a mass spectrum, a step of reading a mass-to-charge ratio m/z of a peak derived from a marker protein from the mass spectrum, and an identification step of identifying which bacteria of serovar of Salmonella genus bacteria the microorganisms contained in the sample contain, based on the mass-to-charge ratio m/z, wherein at least one of two types of ribosomal proteins S8 and Peptidylpropyl isomerase is used as the marker protein.

Abstract: An unmanned drifting substance monitoring buoy (10) is thrown into a water area where a drifting substance is present, thereby tracking and monitoring the drifting substance. The unmanned drifting substance monitoring buoy (10) detects, by a detecting section, a relative location of the drifting substance on the water surface with respect to the unmanned drifting substance monitoring buoy (10), and measures, by a measuring section, directions and strengths of a wind and a tidal current. Then, the unmanned drifting substance monitoring buoy (10) tracks the drifting substance by adjusting, based on the relative location of the drifting substance detected by the detecting section and on the directions and the strengths of the wind and the tidal current measured by the measuring section, a surface area and a direction of a sail (13) by an adjusting section.
