The majority of us is studying biology, two of us are bachelor and five are master students... and ''Julia'', she is studying biochemistry in her masters program. Together with ''Jara'' she participates now for the third time in the iGEM competition. They have the know-how and calmness of two experienced iGEM members. Especially ''Jara'' is known as our walking library. If she is not helping out, she works on the vectors of the '''''Bacillus''''' '''B'''io'''B'''rick'''B'''ox. The rest of us enjoyes for the first time all the different aspects and work of an iGEM project; and the stress in the lab. Only ''Simon'' gets to escape ''often'' from it, as he is dealing with topics like collaborations, website, human practise, sponsors and and and. But as we are a group of only nine people there is no graph, no abstract, not even one presentation slide not beeing discussed enthusiastically and the work not beeing divided. The design and story of everything is developed and controlled by ''Franzi'', ''Jenny'' and ''Tamara''. In the lab they work as well together on the '''Sporo'''beads. Thereby, ''Franzi'' and ''Tamara'' are fusing different proteins to the spore crust, while ''Jenny'' and ''Julia'' are inhibiting the germination. Monitoring the lab duties and safety is ''Korinna'', also known as the data generator. This amount of data derived from her work and evaluation of all our promoters.

All of us are working closely together with our three advisors, ''Prof. Thorsten Mascher'', ''Dr. Tina Wecke'' and ''Dr. Georg Fritz''. ''Prof. Thorsten Mascher'' is not only offering us a place in his lab, but a lot of support and input on all parts of the project too. ''Tina'' is the one to go to for trouble shooting and strategy planning and ''Georg'' is the one advising us how to best evaluate parts and how to model.
