We have to thank some people for their help because without them a lot of advances that we have done would have been impossible. Because of that, we want to dedicate this part of the wiki to name them, so you can know what they have helped to and why their help has been so important. Finally, we think it is important to give them some recognition.

• Daniel Ducat: We want to thank Daniel for kindly lending us the cscB expressing Synechococcus elongatus, fundamental chassis of our project. We inspired a big part of our idea in the advanced his group made in sugar secreting "donor" cyanobacteria at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering (Harvard University.


• Susan Golden: Notice the generous and inestimable help of Susan Golden, distinguished Professor from the UC San Diego University who sent us the plasmids and protocols to transform our cyanobacteria. Without her help and good advices we could have not done our project. More in concret, her lab sent us 5 different plasmids (pAM977, pAM1573, pAM1619, pAM2195, pAM2314): some of them with the psbAI promotor attached to the lux genes of Vibrio harveyi and some others empty to insert our own constructs.


• Javier Espinosa, from Fisiology, Genetic and Microbiology departments of University of Alicante: We are grateful for his collaboration in our iGEM project because he is who has provided for us the Wild Type strain, without which we could't transformed Synechococcus. Furthermore, be grateful for all protocols about coccus culture and plasmid and oligonucleotids transformations.


• Dr. Carratalá: Thanks for him to provide us the spectrophotometer and fluorimeter to reconut the Synechococcus and Vibrio cultures.


• Dr. Justo Aznar Lucea: We want to thank him, head of UCV's Ethics department, for grant a interview to our Human Practices team. He talked about his own vision of Sinthetic Biology, the new chances that it offers to the scientist and the future expectancy.


• Marisa Salvador, of Molecular Department of University of Valencia:Thanks to her patient, availability and collaboration.
  
• Joaquín Moreno, of Molecular Department of University of Valencia:Thank to you for resolve all our doubts about cultures and times, and expend your time in the project.


• Diego Orzáez:Thank you for borrow us your time and material of laboratory.


• Borja Martinez-Clavel Vallés:For draw our team mascot,"Coccusin".


• Metrovalencia: We are graceful for let us to participate in the activities organized the last 22th of September, and make a little illustrated report about it.


• ICM de Barcelona : For allow the talk of Alex, our team member, while he was working with them in summer.


• IBMCP: We have to thank your help when we had doubts about ligations, and your constant accesibility.


• Victoria Palazón Dávila: Thanks for record and make the video.


• Marta Chillerón Rueda: For design our logo, thank you.


• Raul Gancedo Sabater: In last place, but not less importantly, thanks for his inestimable help at the programming and design of the integrative coculture model.
