课程名称:藻类入门 课程概述: 本课程由藻类技术教育联盟和加州大学圣地亚哥分校联合制作,得到了藻类基金会、国家可再生能源实验室和美国能源部的资助。藻类是一类极其多样化的生物,几乎可以在地球上的每一个生态系统中找到,它们在地球生命中扮演着重要角色。藻类是小型生物工厂,利用光合作用创造我们可以用于食品、饲料、药物甚至能源的化合物。我们将汇聚一些来自工业界和学术界的藻类专家,教您藻类的基础知识。 课程内容包括:藻类的定义、它们的重要性,以及我们为何对它们的环境益处和产品应用感兴趣。您还将探索藻类的广泛多样性,包括一些目前在商业上使用的主要藻类的特征和应用。 后续课程将学习藻类生态及其与环境(包括害虫和捕食者)的相互作用对藻类生产力的影响。最后,您将研究藻类生物制造的过程,包括生产流程以及影响我们从藻类中制造商业可行产品的产品、益处和挑战。 课程大纲: 1. 藻类基础 - 描述:本部分将介绍藻类的定义、演变过程以及它们如何改变我们的星球。同时,我们还将讨论人类在历史上是如何利用藻类的。 2. 藻类多样性 - 描述:藻类的多样性极为丰富,本部分将学习不同类型的主要藻类。 3. 藻类生态 - 描述:藻类几乎无处不在,并且具有复杂的生态关系。本部分涵盖了藻类生态的基础知识,包括它们在自然界和工业环境中与其他生物的相互作用。 4. 藻类生物制造第一部分 - 描述:藻类因其创造产品的潜力而受到研究。本部分将探讨藻类作为工业生物体的使用以及不同的生物制造技术示例。 5. 藻类生物制造第二部分 - 描述:本部分将研究藻类生物制造的重要步骤,包括高产文化生长、收获及从生物质中创造有用产品的技术。 通过这个课程,您将全面了解藻类的基本知识及其在当今社会的重要应用。
Name:Algae Basics
Description:This section will cover what algae are, how they've evolved, and how they've transformed our planet. We will also go over how humans have used algae throughout history.
Name:Algal Diversity
Description:Algae are extremely diverse, and in this section you will learn about the main different types.
Name:Algal Ecology
Description:Algae are found almost everywhere and have complex ecologies. This section covers the basics of algal ecology including some of the other organisms they interact with in nature and in industrial settings.
Name:Algae Biomanufacturing Part 1
Description:Algae are studied because of their potential to create products using biomanufacturing. In this section, we will look at how algae is used as an industrial organisms and different examples biomanufacturing technologies.
Name:Algae Biomanufacturing Part 2
Description:In this section we will examine the important steps of algae biomanufacturing. This includes techniques for productive culture growth, harvest, and creating useful products from biomass.
This course was produced by the Algae Technology Educational Consortium and UC San Diego with funding from the Algae Foundation, the National Renewable Energy Lab, and the U.S. Department of Energy. Algae are an extremely diverse group of organisms that can be found in almost every ecosystem on the planet, and they play an essential role for life on earth. They are little bio-factories that use the process of photosynthesis to create chemical compounds that we can utilize for food, feed, medicine, and even energy. We’ve brought together some of foremost algae experts from industry and academia to teach you the fundamentals of algae. This course will cover what algae are, why they are important, and why we are interested in them for both their environmental benefit, as well as their use for products. You will also explore the vast diversity of algae including the characteristics and applications of some of the main types of algae that are in commercial use today. Later you will learn about algal ecology and how interactions with environment, including pests and predators, affect algal productivity. And finally you will examine the processes of algae bio-manufacturing including production processes, as well as some of the products, benefits, and challenges that impact our ability to make commercially viable products from algae.
