| Outline and Purpose of the Course | This course focuses on strategies and methodology for management and control of microbial pests in agriculture, forestry, their related industries and our houses. Introductory lecture addresses the principle for microbial control in sanitary and its conceptual applications in the fields mentioned above. The students research general and specific cases of pest-controls in those fields, literarily, and present the results of the studies. This course consists of brief lectures and participants' presentations. | ||
| Course Goals |
Understand the relationship between the characteristics of microbes and microbial control; Gain a good grasp of various perspectives of microbial control. |
||
| Schedule and Contents |
An overview of microbes will be given in a total of 14 sessions from the following perspectives: 1. Classification of microbes 2. Life history of microbes 3. Heredity of microbes 4. Metabolic physiology of microbes 5. Ecology of microbes 6. Microbes and the physical environment 7. Interactions between microbes and other organisms The objective is to understand the characteristics of the microbes under study. Students will also enhance their understanding of the materials, techniques and mechanisms currently used for microbial control. The instructor will be available to answer questions during a specified time period. |
