【Course Objectives】

Living things can be classified by the following three categories: animals, plants, and microbes. This course aims to teach students about the makeup, features, physiology, and ecology of microbes. Through doing so, students will understand their various similarities and differences with respect to plants and animals.

【Course Contents】

Microbes can be broken up into prokaryotes and eukaryotes, however this course will primarily deal with prokaryotes (bacteria).
Students will learn about the structure, features, and biosynthesis mechanisms of prokaryotic cells, and how they differ from those of eukaryotic cells. Through understanding these differences, students will ponder the mechanism by which antibiotics operate on prokaryotes. Students will learn about how prokaryotic cells propagate. After describing several virulence factors of bacteria, the students will learn the mechanisms by which pathogenic bacteria become virulent.
Chromosome translocation by both bacteriophage and conjugation will be discussed. Students will also learn about transposons and genetic modification, deepening their understandings of microbial genetics. Genetic engineering will be introduced through discussing the applications of these concepts.
The lecture will also discuss the evolution and diversity of prokaryotes. Students will understand the ways that prokaryotes evolve, and realize their stunning diversity through the variations in their metabolisms and ecologies. Industrial uses of microbes will be introduced from the standpoint of practical microbiology.
