We started line survey observations toward a few interesting sources with the Nobeyama 45 m telescope. The target sources include L1527, L1157 (B1), G28.34+0.06, NGC 1068, and NGC 253. Mainly with the new 3 mm receivers installed on the 45 m telescope [1], the frequency range of ~84-115 GHz will be surveyed with high sensitivity. The third year of the surveys was finished, and the fourth year observations are in progress. L1527 is a very interesting object, because the abundances of carbon-chain molecules are high, though this source is a low-mass star-forming region [2]. We detected many lines including high excitation lines of HC5N (e.g. J=41-40, Eupper of 110 K), isotopic species (D, 13C) of some carbon-chain and carbon-ring molecules, HCO, C3O, cyclic-C3H, etc. In L1157 B1 position, where interactions between an outflow and ambient clouds are prominent [3,4], we detected many lines including C2H, C34S, CCS, HCNO, CH3CN, CH2DOH, CH3CHO, HCOOCH3, and NH2CHO. To study shock chemistry and gas-grain interaction, these results are rather important information [5]. After our observations, we noticed that HCOOCH3 was detected by Arce et al. [6]. In G28.34+0.06 three interesting positions called mm1, mm4, and mm9 are selected. Toward mm1 and mm4 line wings were found in HCO+, HCN, SiO, CS, and CH3OH. These wings indicate outflow activities. In addition, one of the grain related species, CH3CHO, is detected only in mm1 and mm4. Based on these results, mm1 and mm4 are thought to be high-mass protostellar objects. Data of deuterated species, DNC, DCO+, and N2D+, also support this view. About galaxies we are mainly observing NGC 1068, which is a nearby galaxy with Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN). Our motivation is to study the effect of AGN on molecular abundances (cf. [7]). In addition a prototypical starburst galaxy NGC 253 is observed. We detected C2H (N=1-0), H13CN (J=1-0),
and cyclic-C3H2 in NGC 1068 [8]: No significant differences in the abundances of C2H and cyclic-C3H2 relative to CS between the two galaxies.
