Revision as of 08:46, 17 September 2012
iGEM LMU Munich
This iGEM team is also working on B. subtilis and therefore an ideal partner for testing each other’s constructs. They sent us 6 plasmids and 4 promoters and we are testing them for characterization. Hopefully we are able to return our constructs to them soon!
Dutch iGEM teams (iGEM Wageningen, Amsterdam, Delft, Eindhoven)
On the 10th of July all Dutch iGEM met in Wageningen for the first mini-symposium (Greek for meeting and having a drink together). We could share our ideas, get in touch with other team colleagues and present our team subject. See video Symposium iGEM Netherlands 2 (posted on July 9 2012. The iGEM Groningen presentation starts at time point 1:42. After these interesting talks, a nice dinner was served: we had a BBQ inside an old school building. The lab space as very suitable as dinner space. And there are more symposia to come! Wednesday 3 October all Dutch iGEM teams are invited for the next iGEM- The Netherlands symposium in Eindhoven.
Another activity of the iGEM Amsterdam, Groningen, Wageningen and Eindhoven is that they work together with creating an iGEM site at the Discovery Festival on Friday 28 September. The Dutch teams will be located in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Eindhoven and we will aim to get the public in touch with Synthetic Biology in a playful way.
Besides these Dutch iGEM meetings and the Discovery Festival, we also collaborated with Wageningen and Amsterdam on a molecular level. Many times our transformation of E.coli failed, so we ran out of the backbone biobricks for Bacillus subtilis. Luckily Wageningen and Amsterdam we’re so kind to provide us with some of their bricks. Thank you guys!
iGEM Uppsala
At the beginning of August we received the chromoproteins amilCP (blue), amilGFP (yellow) from iGEM Uppsala 2011. We were able to transform their BBa_K592009 and BBa_K592010 behind our identified promoters into E.coli. For now we are waiting untill they are transformed in B.subtilis, to check if the blue and yellow color also works in this organism. For the latest results, check our Pigment page.
iGEM Calgary 2012
Emily Hicks from the winning Calgary iGEM team in 2011, and now member of iGEM Calgary 2012, has studied in Groningen during her exchange period. She was very interested in her iGEM Groningen colleagues; therefore we asked her to give a lecture about her previous iGEM experience. We we're really motivated by Emily's tips concerning medal requirements, information about wiki etc. Thank you Emily!
iGEM Cambridge
Together with iGEM Cambridge we want to develop a sporulation and germination protocol for Bacillus subtilis. The whole idea of B. subtilis spores that can be stored and used only at a desired time point is the same goal iGEM Groningen and iGEM Cambridge want to achieve, therefore a collaboration would be very advantageous. To be determined...
