| Course description |
|
The purpose of the Environmental Science and Natural Resources III is to study the fundamental properties and latest scientific information for better biomass utilization by leading researchers. It is positioned as a recommended course in the field of Functional Control of Natural Resources. Prof. Saito will give a lecture on fundamentals and potential applications of the cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) are introduced. Cellulose nanofiber is a novel material derived from wood that weighs one-fifth of steel and be five times stronger. Approximately 180 Japanese companies are currently participating in the Nano-Cellulose Forum led by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and a new industry based on cellulose nanofibers is emerging. Prof. Igarashi will give a lecture on the cutting-edge of the plant cell wall degradation by filamentous fungi. This course is positioned to acquire advanced research topics in the research field related to the master's thesis. |
| Expected Learning |

Prof. Saito:Students study fundamental properties of preparation methods, sturcture and dispersion principle, and undearstand a current issue and their solution as well as their applicatoin. Prof. Igarashi: Students understand an importance of plant biomass conversion. Students understand degradation mechanism of plant cell wall."

| Course schedule |
|
Prof. Saito will give lectures as follows, 1) Structure of native cellulose 2) Conversion to cellulose nanofibers 3) Fundamental properties of cellulose nanofibers 4) Composites of cellulose nanofibers 5) Problems and their countermeasures Prof. Igarashi will give lectures as follows, This lecture aims to deepen understanding of the mechanisms of biomass degradation by microorganisms, which is important for the development of the biomass conversion technologies. In particular, the lecture will focus on fungi, which have excellent degrading ability, from various perspectives ranging from the protein/enzyme level to the gene/genome level. 1)Conversion of plant biomass 2)Biomass degradation by microorganisms 3)Degradation by fungi (protein and enzyme level) 4)Degradation by fungi (gene/genome level) |
