Equipment to Enhance an Undergraduate Biotechnology Curriculum.

生物技术的新重点正在提供的课程在 大一大二和高级班 相关实验室经验 包括建模、DNA操作、发酵和组织 使用琼脂糖凝胶电泳和电印迹进行培养。 新 支持这些进步的设备包括一个罩，一个冷冻干燥机和一个 计算机数据采集系统。 三个组织培养，三个DNA 操作，稳定同位素植物选择练习，和两个 现有的课程中增加了计算机模拟实验课。 一个新的实验室为导向的课程，称为生物技术也正在开发中。 其主要组成部分包括重组DNA方法，发酵， 生物生产和生物转化，真核组织培养， 微分和仿真建模。 强化教育 实验和定量生物技术的机会正在 提供，并在生物技术的正规教育的区域需求， 被满足。

New thrusts in Biotechnology are being provided in the curriculum at the freshman, sophomore and advanced levels. Related laboratory experiences include work in modeling, DNA manipulation, fermentation, and tissue culture using agarose gel electrophoresis and electro-blotting. New equipment supporting these advances include a hood, a freeze dryer and a computer-based data acquisition system. Three tissue culture, three DNA manipulation, a stable isotope plant selection exercise, and two computer modeling lab sessions are being added to existing courses. A new lab oriented-course called Biotechnology also is being developed. Its major components involve recombinant DNA methods, fermentation, bioproduction and bioconversion, eukaryotic tissue culture and differentiation, and simulation modeling. Enhanced educational opportunities in experimental and quantitative Biotechnology are being provided, and a regional need for formal education in Biotechnology is being met.
