Class Objectives
/Class Outline This class will introduce the organisms that live in "extreme environment" such as deep sea, deep underground, Antarctica and deserts, and give overviews of biological characteristics with which these organisms have evolved to adapt to extreme conditions. In addition, for the organisms whose genomes and/or proteomes have been analyzed, this class will delve into molecular mechanisms of adaptations and examine their biotechnological applicabilities.

Class Schedule lesson1 Water bears and sleeping chironomid
lesson2 Radiation-resistant bacterium
lesson3 Deep subsurface bacterium
lesson4 Deep-sea tubeworms 1
lesson5 Deep-sea tubeworms 2
lesson6 Deep-sea fishes and icefishes
lesson7 Antarctic organisms including penguins
lesson8 Desert organisms
lesson9 Halophilic organisms
lesson10 Acidophiles and alkaliphiles
lesson11 Thermophiles and psychrophiles
lesson12 Nanobacteria and giant viruses
lesson13 Dinosaurus and birds
lesson14 Possible extra-terrestrial lives
lesson15 Extremophiles and their potential uses in biotechnology

Assignments will be given at the end of each lecture, and post-class reports for the assignments are to be submitted.

Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review PDF version of the PowerPoint files that are used in video lectures will be provided; so please use them for your preparations and reviewes of lectures, and watch videos repeatedly as needed.

Requirements

Grading Method Grades will be evaluated based on the submission status and content of assignment reports.
3 points will be given to each submission, and a maximum of 45 points will be given to the total of 15 submissions.
And, 1 to 4 points will be added depending on the content of each assignment report, so that a overall total of 60 to 100 points will be given to a total 15 report submissions.

Practical Experience Experienced

Summary of Practical Experience and Class Contents based on it I have participated in profesional expeditions to dee-sea, deep underground, Antarctica, Arctic areas, deserts, alpines, caves etc.
Based on these experiences, I think I can provide more concrete and realistic class contents, including examples of extremophiles that I have seen with our own eyes.
