Our first round of time-lapse failed, as the cells spontaneously lysed after 10 hours. We were baffled by this reaction. Well, time to do some research.</p>

We worked more on the knockouts aspect of the '''Germination'''STOP module. We ran another germination assay for our triple and quadruple mutants. Plates of our spores diluted at 10<sup>-2</sup>, 10<sup>-4</sup> and 10<sup>-6</sup> show NO GERMINATION for our triple and quadruple mutants, and plenty of germination for the WT168 positive control! We will try plating undiluted mutant spores to see if any germination occurs.</p>

Good and bad news this week. First the good news: Another big step towards the GFP-Sporobeads is done! We have the [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K823049 CotZ constructs] in pSB<sub>BS</sub>1C! Hopefully it will integrate easily! :D
-
Now the bad one: Finally we could start with the [https://2012.igem.org/Team:LMU-Munich/Data/crustpromoters P<sub>cgeA</sub> evaluation]! But contrary to our expectations this promoter did not show any activity. </p>
