一雨ごとに冬に近づく札幌。この季節、週末ともなれば北大銀杏並木は観光客で賑わいます。
秋の北大キャンパスは、やはり美しい。日々変わる風景は、心を和ませてくれます。この素晴らしいキャンパスで、微生物の世界を探求してみませんか？

中年独身男性•井之頭五郎があちこちの街でディープなグルメ三昧をする『孤独のグルメ』。松重豊演じる井之頭五郎は、いわゆる「結婚しない都市生活者」（an unmarried city dweller）の典型なのかもしれないが、孤独の中にも人生哲学がある。
その番組エンディングテーマ曲（『五郎の12PM』）は、なぜか記憶の中にいつまでも残ってしまう。たとえば、北大病院で治療を受けた後、ちょっとくたびれながら北１２条の和食屋へ。店のカウンターで席に着けば、条件反射のように「あのメロディー」が蘇る。
冗談はさておき、小島久弥さんが春採湖（北海道釧路市）から、またまた新属の硫黄酸化細菌を発見し、単離に成功。その名は、Sulfuricaulis limicolaで、無機硫黄化合物の酸化によってエネルギーを獲得して増殖することのできるバクテリアだ。種名limicolaは「泥の居住者」（mud-dweller）、属名Sulfuricaulisは「硫黄を酸化する柄」（sulfur-oxidizing stalk）の意。正式な学名を付けるまでは、「春採五郎（はるとりごろう）」と呼ばれていた（もちろん小島さんによる命名）。
「泥の居住者」。我が身を数ミクロンにサイズダウンして、春採湖の泥の中に住み着いて探検してみれば、未知の微生物や微生物間相互作用をさらに発見できるのかもしれない。

週末、札幌の天候は荒れ模様で、初雪でした。冬はもう間近と言うことでしょうか。
さて、本日は大学院生Aさんの誕生日。おめでとうございます。と言うことで、誕生会を兼ねたお茶会です。ハロウィーンが近いこともあり、ケーキもパンプキンを材料としたものも選択。Aさんも大喜びの様子でした。

11月6日（金）16時より、寺島美亜さんが低温研セミナーで講演いたします。来聴歓迎。
講演題目：Survival strategies of unicellular phototrophs: using microalgae to study photosynthesis, energy storage and stress adaptation
要旨：Microalgae are found in diverse environments from soil, marine waters, to alpine snowfields. Ecologically, they are an important group of organisms as they are one of the main primary producers in aquatic environments and are responsible for a vast amount of oxygen produced on this planet. Being unicellular, microalgae are constantly exposed to changing environments and must rapidly adjust its cell physiology accordingly and establish long-term survival strategies when conditions become suboptimal. Photosynthesis is the main metabolic driving force in these phototrophs and must constantly be monitored and adjusted. In order to survive stressful conditions (such as low nutrients), microalgae can photosynthetically assimilate carbon in the form of oil (mostly triacylglycerols) as intracellular high-energy reserves. Regulatory mechanisms for photosynthesis and oil accumulation are not yet fully understood. Increasing our understanding of these cellular processes would be valuable for understanding the effects of environmental changes in microalgal metabolism, but also for biotechnological applications, as algae are used for industrial oil production. Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a unicellular freshwater green alga that has been used to study many basic components of photosynthesis. C. reinhardtii is a good model system to study these bioenergy-relevant mechanisms because there are many molecular tools already established.
In this talk, I will first present work on understanding the regulation of photosynthesis under anaerobic stress conditions, where we found new components of photosynthetic complexes. Secondly, I will present a high-throughput screen method that we have developed for isolating mutants with increased oil accumulation in C. reinhardtii. Finally, I will discuss plans for future research where I will investigate the survival mechanisms of snow microalgae found in Antarctica and alpine snowfields and its interaction with this unique psychrophilic microbial community.
