[Problem] To provide a means for improving the growing ability of a fertilized egg. [Solution] The present invention provides a method for producing a fertilized egg of a mammal, the method comprising culturing a mammalian fertilized egg in vitro in the presence of a TLR2 activator. The present invention also provides: a method for providing reproductive assistance to a mammal, the method further comprising transplanting, into the uterus of a mammal, a fertilized egg after being cultured; and an agent that is for improving the growing ability of a mammalian fertilized egg, and that contains a TLR2 activator. According to the present invention, the growing ability of a mammalian fertilized egg can be improved.

The verification of putrefaction-causing bacteria which is a microbial cause has not been carried out, resulting in expiration date setting based on hindsight. The objective of the present invention is to provide a method for discriminating putrefaction-related bacteria, the method comprising a discriminating step for comparing a biological feature group including biological features relating to the putrefaction-related bacteria with a biological feature acquired from target bacteria, to distinguish the putrefaction-related bacteria from the target bacteria.

Microorganisms capable of effectively decompose hardly decomposable thermoplastic polyurethane, a method for decomposing thermoplastic polyurethane, and a method for selecting microorganisms capable of decomposing thermoplastic polyurethane are provided. Microorganisms capable of effectively decompose hardly decomposable thermoplastic polyurethane, a method for decomposing thermoplastic polyurethane, and a method for selecting microorganisms capable of decomposing thermoplastic polyurethane are provided. The method for selecting microorganisms capable of decomposing thermoplastic polyurethane includes a step of burying in soil a mixed sample of thermoplastic polyurethane having urea bond and polyurethane without urea bond and a step of collecting the microorganism adsorbing to the mixed sample after confirming the urethane decomposition by infrared spectroscopic analysis of the buried mixed sample.
