34.1
comparative physiology

undergraduate lecture course
1 hour lecture / 1 hour workshop: 2 credits
Semester: every Fall and Spring


Cellular and biochemical processes will be compared at the cellular and whole organism levels among a broad variety of organisms ranging from bacteria, plants, fungi and animals to humans. For example water household, nutrient uptake and excretion, intermediary metabolism, hormones, thermal regulation, nerve and muscle physiology will be considered.

Bio 59
biotechnology of algae

undergraduate lecture course
2 hour lecture: 2 credits
Semester: every Spring


Areas covered in this course include phylogeny, evolution, habitats, growth cycles, and genetic engineering of algae. In addition, biosynthetic pathways of algal products and their metabolic regulation will be incorporated. Also, interdisciplinary topics such as designing bio-reactors and nutritional sciences including values of natural products from algae will be covered. The economic aspect of the course would include patent law as well as management of culture collections, and companies dealing with algae. It is anticipated to have guest speakers from companies to talk within the course objective about their specialty. The course will consist of two hours lectures.
