Weekly Update - Week 6 - Biosynthesis

Microbiology MOOC title3

Weekly Update Week 6 - Biosynthesis


Administrative Note: CPR
Your paper is to be uploaded by 11am Monday (2/13). Please note you will have to finish the pre-test and tutorial before you can access the assignment. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE!

When you first log into the site, you will use your Panther ID.
Do not use the initial zeros of your panther ID! If you keep the initial zeros, the system will say that you are not registered. Just put your Panther ID in again, this time without the zeros.

At present, the system is preventing you from doing the calibrations until the test submission time period is over.  You will be able to perform calibrations starting tomorrow.


Weekly Topic: This week we look at biosynthesis. While carbon fixation is a part of this week, a more important part is looking at the different types of biosynthetic reactions bacteria are capable of performing. During the week, I will be pointing you to various readings to help you appreciate the scope of bacterial biosynthesis.

Learning Objectives:
  • Be able to discuss the Calvin Cycle.
  • Be able to discuss the importance of Rubisco.
  • Be able to describe reductive TCA.
  • Be able to describe the importance of reductive TCA.
  • Be able to describe the biosynthesis of lipids and fatty acids.
  • Be able to describe the regualtion of lipid biosynthesis.
  • Be able to discuss the biosynthesis of polyesters.
  • Be able to discuss amino acid biosynthesis.
    • Be able to describe arginine and armoatic amino acid biosynthesis.
  • Be able to discuss purine and pyrimadine biosynthesis.
  • Be able to describe the biosynthesis of Tetrapyrroles.
