Course description
“Chemistry of physiologically active substances involved in the development of microorganisms and the interaction between microbe and microbe/plant”

Growth and differentiation of microorganisms and interaction between microbe-microbe and microbe-plant are regulated by not only genes or proteins but also low-molecular-weight organic substances. This course provides various examples of discovery, isolation and structure elucidation, biosynthesis and mode of action of such physiologically active substances.
Expected Learning
Learn examples of biological phenomena regulated by physiologically active substances and understand their research strategies.
Course schedule
1. How to proceed research in the chemistry of physiologically active substances
2. Differentiation-inducing substance of the microorganism
3. Antagonism between microorganisms
4. Chemical communication in microbe-microbe/plants
5. Stereochemistry and biological activity
Prerequisites
