Team:UCSF

This year the UCSF iGEM team is excited to have 5 members from Abraham Lincoln High School, 1 member from City College of San Francisco, and 2 returning members from the 2011 team. We are looking forward to a fun and exciting summer of research.
Project Description: The 2012 UCSF iGEM team is investigating bacterial symbiosis. We hope to further the understanding of how two bacteria communicate in a mutualistic relationship. We have constructed two experiments to demonstrate two methods of symbiosis. We were inspired by a paper (Kerner. 2012) that demonstrated tunable symbiosis of two auxotrophic strains of E. coli and attempted to regulate the population ratios of these strains.
