Of course this project was fully planned and realized by the iGEM Bielefeld Team of 2012. However there are some people without whom we could not have done all this work. People who gave us advise, helped us out with materials or simply cheered us up during some long days in the lab. ;) (This page is constantly updated just to make sure we wont forget anyone.)

• Our Instructor Dr. Jörn Kalinowski for providing us with an own laboratory room and supporting us with paper work, scientific guidance and financing. Furthermore we could use all of his equipment and materials.
• Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Erwin Flaschel for providing us with lab space. We were able to use all the fermentation equipment we needed in his Fermentation Engineering lab. As well, he helped us with the sponsoring.
• Our Instructor Dr. Christian Rückert always gave great advice for our scientific problems. He helped us with ordering materials, drove for us to the Teacher´s workshop in Paris and gave a lot of helpful suggestions.
• Nils Lübke and Timo Wolf as former iGEM team members helped us with their experience, listened to our endless discussions and problems during our weekly team meetings and adviced us on our public relations work.
• Dominik Cholewa aided us with his knowledge considering our large-scale fermentations and various purification methods.
• Michael Limberg who is sharing a lab with us and is therefore always our first try when having a question.
• Maurice Telaar gave us pMTE cp46 His and helped us with questions about purification
• Thomas Hug helped us with questions about Pichia pastoris vector design and fermentation.
• We want to thank Prof. Dr. Alfred Pühler for promoting our work and always answering our questions.
• Nikolas Kessler as a former iGEM team member gave us guidance especially with web and graphic design.
• Armin Neshat as a former iGEM team member helped us with our everyday questions and ordered all our chemicals and primers.
• Prof. Dr. Uwe Bornscheuer, leader of the working group from the Institute of Biochemistry, Dept. of Biotechnology & Enzyme Catalysis at Ernst-Moritz-Arndt-University in Greifswald (Germany), send us the sequnces and plasmids containing four sequences of different laccases of Trametes versicolor and the sequence of one Pycnoporus cinnabarinus laccase.
• Prof. Dr. Thomas Noll helped us finding sponsors by mediating contacts.
• Thorsten Seidel for advice with GFP-linkers, helping us with A. thaliana and supplying us with some "spare parts".
• Patrick Treffon for providing us with lovely A. thaliana plants.
• Marten Moore for providing us with some A. thaliana cDNA for some pre-tests.
• Katharina Thiedig for giving help and advice in Site Directed Mutagensis and with Clonemanager.
• Nina Probst for blessing us with some actin primers.
• Dr. Marcus Persicke for measuring our LC-MS preparations and his advises
• Lovely Kordula Puls for supplying us with as well lovely Volvox carteri to present it at our Street Science day.
• All members of the Coryne AG for sharing the lab and equipment with us as well as helping us with our everyday questions.
• All members of the Fermentation Engineering AG for sharing the lab and equipment with us as well as helping us with our everyday questions.
