Course description
Two subjects are lectured in this class.
(1) Ecological constrains of environmental cleanup by using microorganisms (bioremediation)
(2) Structure and function of microbial food web
Expected Learning
Students attending the class are expected to,
① Understand basis of the techniques of environmental cleanup by using microorganisms.
② Understand roles of microbial food web on materials cycle in biosphere.
③ Acquire critical thinking for creation new technology by using microorganisms to work on environmental problems.
Course schedule
(1) Topics: ① basic mathematical (kinetic) model for bioremediation, ② relationship between growth of degrading microorganisms and degradation rate of target compounds, ③ concentration of target compounds as a limiting factor.
(2) Topics: ① basis of structure and function of microbial food web, ② relevance of microbial food web to materials cycle in biosphere, ③ mechanisms of grazing resistance strategy of bacteria.

Message from instructor(s)
・常に「問う」姿勢を求める。教員の言うことや教科書の内容をうのみにせず,授業に批判的にのぞんでほしい
・微生物学の可能性は無限大である.未知の微生物が自然界にはたくさんいることを想いつつ,微生物の魅力を紹介できればと考えている,疑問点などはどんどん質問するように.
