Where BIOL-4902 counts

Counts toward 2 more as one option among several, not as a course you must take:

BCHM 4-YEAR BSc IN BIOCHEMISTRY
BCHM HONOURS BSc IN BIOCHEMISTRY

Read from the departments' own calendar pages, where 50 of 208 programs are only partly machine-readable, so treat these as a minimum rather than the full list. Confirm with an academic advisor.

Description

This course examines the principal reactions of the energy and biosynthetic metabolism of bacteria using Escherichia coli as the model system. Additional topics to be discussed include metabolic diversity and catabolic activities of aerobic heterotrophs; regulation of bacterial metabolism; bacterial fermentations; chemolithotrophic and phototrophic metabolism, and fixation of molecular nitrogen.

Requisite courses

BIOL-2902 and BIOL-3901 and CHEM-3502 and CHEM-3503 or permission of the instructor [prerequisite(s)].
