The present invention relates to novel subtilases from wild-type strains of Bacillus, especially the Bacillus strains ZI344, EP655, P203, EP63, ZI120, ZI130, ZI1342 and ZI140, and to methods of construction and production of these proteases. An external operation body is operable to linearly move and rotate the movement interlock axle. The ability of certain embodiments to fold into a compact size for storage while providing ease-of-use of a full-sized keyboard when unfolded for typing makes them well suited for laptop computers. Upon being outbid, the agent determines whether to place an additional bid in a further auction. The instrument support panel is affixed to the outer end portion of the support arm. Also disclosed is a gene coding for the modified glucose dehydrogenase of the invention, a vector comprising the gene of the invention and a transformant comprising the vector, as well as a glucose assay kit and a glucose sensor comprising the modified glucose dehydrogenase of the invention.
