A sugar-coated agent that includes a core, a film layer that mainly includes a film component, the outer surface of the core being coated with the film layer, a sugar coating layer that mainly includes a sugar coating component, the outside of the film layer being coated with the sugar coating layer, and a middle layer that includes a film component and a sugar coating component and is provided between the film layer and the sugar coating layer, wherein within the middle layer, the concentration of the sugar coating component at the interface between the middle layer and the sugar coating layer is higher than the concentration of the sugar coating component at the interface between the middle layer and the film layer.

Sugar-coated agent

Disclosed herein are selected indolocarbazole derivatives which are represented by the general formula:

Selected derivatives of K-252a

To provide a,growth inhibitor, a cement composition, and a cement structure which are capable of inhibiting effectively growth of,not only in the neutral pH range but also in the acidic pH range of 4 or below, of which active component metal ions are sufficiently prevented from being dissolved and released when contained in a cement structure, and of which effect can be maintained for a prolonged period of time. The inhibitor contains a first component selected from the group consisting of nickel phthalocyanine powders, powders of a nickel phthalocyanine derivative, and mixtures thereof, and a second component selected from the group consisting of tungsten powders, powders of a substantially water-insoluble tungsten compound, a water-soluble salt of tungstic acid turning to substantially water-insoluble when reacted with cement, and mixtures thereof.

The present invention provides a method for detecting and/or determining the ATP from microorganism cells in a sample, which comprises the steps of: centrifuging the sample and removing the supernatant, thereby forming a microorganism cell pellet; adding to the microorganism cell pellet a buffer containing a protease-free soluble protein and an ATP hydrolase and incubating the mixture at a pH of 6.0-8.0; extracting ATP from the microorganism cells with an added ATP extraction agent; and detecting and/or determining the ATP released from the microorganism cells by bioluminescence analysis. The present invention also provides a test kit for detecting and/or determining the ATP from microorganism cells, which comprises a reagent containing a buffer capable of pH adjustment to 6.0-8.0, a protease-free soluble protein and an ATP hydrolase, a reagent containing an ATP extraction agent, and a bioluminescence reagent.
