Course description

Basic purpose of molecular biology is intended to understand life phenomena at molecular level. In this lecture, I will explain the diversity, genetics, and application of filamentous. Furthermore, the characterization and application attempt of unique cell surface protein hydrophobin from Aspergillus oryzae.

Expected Learning

Learners who complete this lecture will be able to: (1) Describe the diversity, life cycle and molecular genetics of filamentous fungi. (2) Recognize the genetic engineering of filamentous fungi, especially in A. oryze. (3) Describe the industrial application and new technology of filamentous fungi.

Course schedule

(1) Culture of filamentous fungi (2) Diversity of fungi; yeast, mushrooms, and filamentous fungi (3) Taxonomy of fungi (4) Life cycle of fungi (5) Fermented foods (6) Fermented beverage (7) Vector system and genomic analysis of A. oryzae (8) Transcription factors and expressional regulation in A. oryzae (9) Biofuel and Biomaterials (10) Application of genetic engineering (11) Genetic engineering and social issues (12) Hydorophobin; filamentous fungus cell surface protein (13) Characterization of hydrophobin genes in A. oryzae (14) Application of hydrophobins (15) Discussion
