Team:WashU/Week3

Website work

The website has undergone a complete overhaul, with the temporary completion of the header, along with a new horizontal navbar, a reformatted home page, more pictures, and a sponsors page. Work still remains on several of the major pages, but much has been accomplished in these first few weeks to bring the website close to completion.

YLC Collaboration

The team has put together the presentation that we plan to give at the YLC outreach endeavor. [Insert link to file if possible]. The team got permission from the Human Research Protections Office of WashU to give out surveys to the YLC kids so that future iGEM WashU teams can continue this project and improve on it. The team biobricked the flourescent proteins to the promoter and transformed cells with these new constructs. We got a working YFP, GRP, RFP construct. Our CFP construct did not work. We decided to use Part:BBa_I13600 to make some CFP cells for the YLC and not troubleshoot the non-working construct.

Synechocystis

We started a test growth of synechocystis. We test noble agar with bacteriological agar to see which one would be better suited for our synechocystis. We also did this to see if our light source was sufficient enough.
