Course description

In this lecture, Ichikawa will give a lecture on Applied Bioelectrochemistory in the first half, and Mori will give a lecture on Applied Microbiology in the second half. Applied Bioelectrochemistory: Both electron transfer and ion migration are important to maintain the life. This class aims to understand the characteristics of electron and ion, and to learn several examples concerned with electrons and their migration. Furthermore, learn about characteristics such as ionic liquids and ion conducting polymers as examples of ion conductive materials. It is important to understand academic development of electrochemistry and relationship between biological reactions and industrial applications of these materials. Deeply understand the life phenomena through this class. Additionally, students are trained to have both scientific aspect and industrial approach on the energy conversion. Applied Microbiology: Environmental microbes play an important role in controlling the balance of a given environment. In conjunction to the adaption of these microbes to the designated environment, microbes are known to evolve and attain unique genetic traits. These genetic traits are known as a crucial genetic resource for industry and pharmaceutics. However, a large majority of environmental microbes are uncultivable, hence, making it difficult for us to exploit them. In this course, we will try to understand and learn the techniques and approaches employed to manipulate these important environmental microbes.

Expected Learning

Applied Bioelectrochemistory: Aims to understand the critical difference between electron and ion, through learning electron transfers and ion transfers seen in biological systems. Aims to understand physical chemistry to confer functions of electron transfer and ion conduction. To have a wide vision to apply the knowledge to propose several applications and design of materials. Applied Microbiology: To understand the fundamentals of microbial manipulation and to attain the necessary knowledge and know-how on isolation and cultivation of environmental microbes.

Assessment/Grading

Evaluate with Applied Bioelectrochemistory / Applied Microbiology = 50/50%. Applied Bioelectrochemistory: The grade evaluation in this online class is premised on all attendances, and comprehensively evaluates the attitude to learn, quizzes, and report. Standard study time set by the our university is required to get the grade. The rate of evaluation is as follows: Normal score: 40%, quizzes and assignment test: 60%. Grade will be given according to the following criteria by comprehensive Applied Microbiology: Similar to Applied Bioelectrochemistry Evaluation: S: 90 points or more, A: 80 or more and less than 90 points, B: 70 or more and less than 80 points, C: 60 or more and less than 70 points.

Message from instructor(s)

From Ichikawa: Writing report make you to review the class. To make high original report which has a format needs preparation and sense. Do not copy someone’s report. From Mori: I hope that you would gain some interest and knowledge on the manipulation or microbes

Course keywords

Office hours

Ichikawa: After class or from 6 to 7pm on every Thursday. Mori: If send me an email, we can set a time to meet and discuss

Remarks 1

From Ichikawa: Additionally, I will answer whenever possible. Email is always available. However, I will not give a reply to such silly questions as “tell me the answer” “which book can I find the answer”, because the important thing is the action "think" always by yourself. From Mori: None in particular.
