Team:Bielefeld-Germany/Labjournal
From 2012.igem.org
Starting the team
Beginning in January and February members of the former iGEM team from Bielefeld started seminars to inform interested students about synthetic biology, iGEM and the past Bielefeld projects. In March the final 2012 iGEM Bielefeld team was formed of 15 students and weekly meetings began. Our team was established and it was time to find a suitable project. The first weekly meeting were more like big group brainstorming and we discussed idea, which in some cases were totally different from each other. Everyone had to inform about ideas of others so that, in the end, we all could discuss together. First project ideas were:
- the detection of multiresistent pathogens
- communication between bacteria and fungi using quorum sensing
- a bacterial hand warmer
- a possibility to detect and destroy mold fungus
- something about spontaneous combustion of hay bale
- an enzyme dispenser
