3.00 Credits
This is an advanced course in industrial microbial fermentations. The students are presented with advanced topics in fermentation design, operation, and the economics of operation. The course will also present various scientifi c papers pertaining to issues of scale up and process development at the industrial scale including topics in media development, impeller optimization, and plant design. The laboratory consists of a ten week project in the optimization of product titers utilizing the SIXFORS computer controlled fermentation system. The students will be using either Ralstonia eutrophis to produce PHAs, Xanthomonas campestris to produce xanthan gum, Pichia pastoris ( cell yield for recombinant protein production) or E. coli ( for recombinant protein production). (1001-404, 1001-417) Class 3, Lab 3, Credit 4 (S)

3.00 Credits
A study of the physics, chemistry and biology of inland waters. The course emphasizes the physical and chemical properties of water and how these properties affect the associated biological communities. Planktonic, benthic and littoral communities are considered. Field trips to streams and lakes are conducted to gather physical, chemical and biological data. (1001-340 or permission of instructor) Class 3, Lab 3, Credit 4 (W)

3.00 Credits
This courses explores marine biology by focusing on the diversity of life and infl uence of oceanography on the various ecosystems. Morphological and physiological adaptations, and environmental threats will also be investigated. (One year of introductory biology or equivalent, or permission of instructor) Class 3, Credit 3 (S)
-
3.00 Credits
A comparative study of animal behavior from an evolutionary perspective. Lectures will examine the physiological organization of behaviors, survival behaviors, social dynamics, and human behavior. (1001-365, 1016-319) Class 3, Credit 3 (S)
-
3.00 Credits
This course concentrates on the application of ecological principles to conservation issues. Human impact on species diversity will be emphasized as it relates to agricultural, forest, coastal and wetland ecosystems. Case studies of management practices used to manage and restore disturbed ecosystems will be included. Laboratory exercises will concentrate on methodologies for assessing human impacts on ecosystems, including the use of GIS technology. (1001-340, 341) Class 3, Lab 3, Credit 4 (W)

Genomics will introduce students to the analysis of complex genomes. Emphasis will be placed on genetic information derived from the human genome project but advances with genomes of other model systems will be discussed. Lectures will cover scientifi c techniques used to map and sequence the human genome, as well as strategies for identifi cation of disease susceptibility genes. The wet-bench laboratory will utilize an automated DNA sequencer to demonstrate the acquisition of genetic sequences. Laboratory sessions will emphasize cycle sequencing of cloned DNA fragments using an automated fl uorescent DNA sequencer and mapping tactics using radiation hybrid cell panels. (1001-350) Class 3, Lab 3, Credit 4 (F)

Bioinformatics will introduce students to the analysis of genetic sequences. Emphasis will be placed on genetic information derived from the human genome project but fi ndings from genomes of other model systems will be presented. Lectures will discuss available computational tools for extracting biological information from nucleotide and protein sequences. The computerbased laboratory will utilize bioinformatics software to demonstrate how to manage, search and analyze genetic sequences. Laboratory sessions will cover gene prediction programs, DNA fragment assembly, multiple sequence analysis, secondary structure predictions, phylogenetic constructions and web access to public databases. (1001-350) Class 3, Lab 3, Credit 4 (W, S)
