Abstract: A method of properly aligning a sliding side door on a vehicle includes first preparing a prototype vehicle and determining how far out of alignment the door is to the body of the prototype vehicle. This amount of misalignment is then used to adjust the attachment position of an anchor plate to a sliding side door of the vehicle, so that the anchor plate is attached at a desired position to the production vehicle, which causes there to be no misalignment between the sliding side door and the body of the production vehicle. A jig is used to hold the anchor plate at the desired location while welding the anchor plate to the door. A roller assembly is then attached to the anchor plate and to a rail on a body of the vehicle.

Abstract: This invention provides a method for preventing or inhibiting infection with a plant-infecting microorganism and imparting resistivity to plants, a method for preparing plants having resistance to diseases caused by microorganisms such as plant pathogenic filamentous fungi, and a microbial pesticide formulation. The method for preventing or inhibiting infection of a host plant with plant-infecting microorganisms comprises degrading ?-1,3-glucan on cell walls of the microorganisms by ?-1,3-glucanase.

Abstract: A method for efficiently producing theanine is provided, wherein glutamine and ethylamine are reacted by Pseudomonas citronellosis GEA FERM BP-8353, which is newly separated/selected from natural soil, belongs to the genus, Pseudomonas, and the species citronellosis and is a theanine producing bacteria with activities of transferring the ?-glutamyl group. Theanine production increased by four times by using glutaminase derived from the bacteria in a mixture of glutamine and ethylamine at a pH in a range of 9-12 in comparison with conventional methods.

Abstract: To provide a new method for efficiently producing theanine, by which theanine is simply and industrially advantageously produced. Pseudomonas citronellosis GEA, which is newly separated/selected from natural soil, belongs to the genus, Pseudomonas, and the species citronellosis and is theanine producing bacteria with activities of transferring ?-glutamyl group. Theanine is extremely efficiently produced by using glutaminase derived from the bacteria in a mixture of glutamine and ethylamine at pH 9-12 in comparison with a conventional method.
