Learning outcomes
The course aims to provide students with the knowledge needed to understand the organization and operation of an autotrophic organism and the consequences of autotrophy metabolism s (as opposed to mixotrophy and heterotrophy).
The course has two modules called "Plant Physiology" and "Catalysis of autotrophic biosynthesis".
The "Plant Physiology" module provides the basics of functions that allow the plant life in unicellular and multicellular organisms, including the absorption of solutes, the transport of water and organic and inorganic substances, the perception of environmental signals, integration of internal and external signals with the mechanisms that control the development of the plant and its reproduction or vegetative growth. The classic themes of plant physiology will be especially extended to single-celled photosynthetic organisms that live in the aquatic environment.
The "Catalysis of the autotrophic biosynthesis" module deals with the systems that catalyze specific organic biosynthesis with the use of light energy. Examples include the biosynthesis of liquid and gaseous biofuels, the exploitation of waste water, production of dietary supplements, bio-materials and other high value-added compounds.
Finally, the course provides a practical module (15 hours divided into 3 lessons) in which students will carry out practical tests relating to the lectures topics like production and extraction of metabolites in plant cells, management of algal cultures and characterization of cell movement and plastids.

Attendance
As stated in point 25 of the Teaching Regulations for the A.Y. 2021/2022, attendance is not mandatory. However, professors may require students to attend lectures for a minimum of hours in order to be able to take the module exam, in which case the methods that will be used to check attendance will be explained at the beginning of the module.Please refer to the Crisis Unit's latest updates for the mode of teaching.
