Plates of our spores diluted at 10^-2, 10^-4 and 10^-6 from the germination assay show NO GERMINATION for our triple and quadruple mutants, and plenty of germination for the WT positive control! We will try plating undiluted mutant spores to see if any germination occurs.

To clean up our '''Sporo'''beads from vegetative ''B. subtilis'' cells we tried three different methods: French Press, sonification and lysozymes. A great difference was observed after the [https://2012.igem.org/Team:LMU-Munich/Data/Sporepurification treatment with lysozyme]! Furthermore, the lysozyme did not damage our fusion protein, as GFP fluorescence was still obtained in microscopy!</p>

Jara and Jenny created four double-mutants using resistance-cassettes to knock out germination genes as follows: ''cwlD''::kan + ''sleB''::mls ; ''gerD''::cat + ''sleB''::mls ; ''gerD''::cat + ''cwlD''::kan ; ''cwlJ''::spec + ''cwlD''::kan.

More on germination knockouts -- we created quadruple mutants using two variations on past mutants: ''cwlD''::kan + ''cwlJ''::spec + ''gerD''::cm + ''sleB''::mls and ''gerD''::cm + ''sleB''::mls + ''cwlJ''::spec + ''cwlD''::kan.

We decided which genes to knock out for the germination stop. Based on the work of [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19554258 J. Kim and W. Schumann (2009)], we decided to knock out genes ''cwlB'', ''gerD'', ''cwlJ'', and ''sleB''. From the research of [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11466293 B. Setlow et al (2001)], we also chose ''cwlD''.

We spent two full days (and nights) together planning our project in our "iGEM days." The idea of '''Bead'''zillus was born, and we got to know each other better as we divided the modules of the project, and learned each others' strengths and experience in different fields such as microbiology, ecology and biochemistry.</p>

iGEM Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München Beadzillus

Team-LMU Photo9.jpg

The LMU-Munich team is exuberantly happy about the great success at the World Championship Jamboree in Boston. Our project Beadzillus finished 4th and won the prize for the "Best Wiki" (with Slovenia) and "Best New Application Project".
