Revision as of 18:56, 26 September 2012
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".

Bacillus strain collection
Because we envision an iGEM world where work with Bacillus subtilis is as easy as work with Escherichia coli, we offer the last piece of the puzzle. Until now, there has been no possibility of exchanging Bacillus subtilis strains through the Parts Registry. However, for work with B. subtilis, the option to exchange and work with different strains is much more important than it is with E. coli because:
- Mostly integrative plasmids were used. Hence, the storage of the plasmids is less important than the strains.
- These genetic modifications can be easily transferred to other strains by isolation and transformation of genomic DNA
Here, you can download an excel file with all available B. subtilis strains.
As long as there is no option in the Parts Registry to store and order Bacillus subtilis strains, the lab of Prof. Thorsten Mascher offers to maintain an iGEM Bacillus subtilis strain collection. If you would like to request a strain or contribute to the collection by providing novel strains, please contact [http://syntheticmicrobe.bio.lmu.de/members/mascher/index.html Prof. Thorsten Mascher].
