| Outline and Purpose of the Course | There are opportunities of leaning isolation and identification of marine microbes and microalgae, feeding of microbes, measuring productivities of carotenoids and fatty acids using GC and HPLC, functional analyses of genes, and genetic recombination. | ||
| Course Goals | Understand the basic concepts related to experiments in aquatic environmental microbiology. | ||
| Schedule and Contents |
4-5 classes (total 15) are planned for each of the following topics (instructors: Shigeki Sawayama, Satoshi Nakagawa): 1. Analysis of valuable compounds Students will learn how to measure the activity levels of carotenoids (HPLC), lipids (fluorescent spectroscopy), fatty acids (GC), and methane (GC). 2. Physiological and ecological experiments on extremophiles and symbiotic marine microbes 3. Developing a research plan, designing experimental methods, analyzing results and writing a research paper Learn the skills necessary to carry out research, including how to develop research plans, design methods, and analyze results. Feedback: Instructors will be available to answer questions by email during the feedback period. |
