* Innovation: We invited all german teams to the [https://2012.igem.org/Team:LMU-Munich/Human_Practice/CAS_Conference CAS synthetic biology conference] enabling them to arrange collaborations, discuss their projects with other teams as well as with the experts visiting this international conference. In addition the attendance at the talks about many topics of synthetic biology might have inspired some of the iGEM team members to new approaches. <br><br>

* Safety: We designed the [https://2012.igem.org/Team:LMU-Munich/Germination_Stop <b>Germination</b>STOP] with the two different approaches: germination gene knock out and the <b>Suicide</b> switch. This makes the chassis we use for our project safe to use. This was also discussed with the commissioner for Bio-Safety in Bavaria.

* Sharing: We envision an iGEM world where work with ''B. subtilis'' is as easy as work with ''E. coli''. As most work with ''B. subtilis'' is done with strains having a plasmid integrated, the sharing of the plasmid is not as essential as the sharing of the strain itself. It is possible to transfer the gDNA and therefore the integrated element into any other strain (if the integration locus is not already used) quite easily. In addition there are strains produced by deletions of genes. It is not possible to share these over plasmids. To accomplish this, the lab of AG Prof. Thorsten Mascher offers to maintain a [https://2012.igem.org/Team:LMU-Munich/Strains ''Bacillus'' strain collection] from which iGEM members can request or send in strains.

iGEM Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München Beadzillus

Team-LMU tubes.resized.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".
