Outline and Purpose of the Course Explaining the foundations of marine environmental microbiology, including production of useful substances by microorganisms such as microalgae, labyrinthula, fungi, archaebacteria, bacteria, etc. in oceans and lakes. In particular, explaining in detail about the production of useful substances, such as omega 3 fatty acids and carotenoids that use microalgae, etc. from the viewpoint of molecular biology and genetic engineering. The computers of the satellite laboratory will be used for gene searches, construction of expression vectors, and creationof molecular phylogenetic trees.
Course Goals Understanding basic matters related to marine-environment microbiology.
