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".

3-7 September 2012

26-31 August 2012

Finally, we got our first glowing spore!! After 4 months of hard work we have our first proof that our system works.

20-24 August 2012

Double negative loop with lacZa finished -> works qualitatively (Julia)

13-17 August 2012

6-10 August 2012

We created double-mutant using resistance-cassettes to knock out germination genes as follows: cwlD::kanamycin + gerD::chloramphenicol

30 July - 3 August 2012

23-27 July 2012

Plate reader measurements of the Bacillus promoters P_liaG, P_liaI and P_lepA finished. Look at Data!

16-20 July 2012

Plate reader measurements of the Anderson promoters J23100, J23101, J23102, J23103, J23106, J23107, J23113, J23114, J23115, J23117, J23118 in the Bacillus reporter vector pSB_Bs3C-luxABCDE completed. Look at Data!

Cloning of the Anderson promoters J23100, J23102, J23103, J23106 in the reporter vector pSB_Bs1C-lacZ for β-galactosidase assays finished.

9-13 July 2012

2-6 July 2012

Jenny presented Bacillus germination review to the group. We discussed stages of germination & how our mutants would prevent germination from occurring. Discussed possible germination causes besides nutrients, and how to hopefully prevent them. We realized partial germination caused by biochemical reactions from nutrients might cause the spores to deform, even if they did not complete germination. Therefore Jenny began research on this possibility.

β-galactosidase assays of the promoters P_liaG, P_liaI and P_veg are finished. Look at Data!

Cloning of the Anderson promoters J23100, J23101, J23102, J23103, J23106, J23107, J23113, J23114, J23115, J23117, J23118 in pSB1C3 finished.

25-29 June 2012

18-22 June 2012

11-15 June 2012

4-8 June 2012

28-1 June 2012

21-25 May 2012

Promoters P_liaG, P_liaI, P_veg and P_lepA are now in the vector pSB1C3 as BioBrick standard for the registry. BioBricks are BBa_K823000, BBa_K823001, BBa_K823002, BBa_K823003.

The Anderson promoters J23100, J23101, J23102, J23103, J23106, J23107, J23113, J23114, J23115, J23117, J23118 are now in the Bacillus reporter vector pSB_Bs3C-luxABCDE for measuring their activity as luminescence.

The Bacillus promoters P_liaG, P_liaI and P_lepA are in the Bacillus reporter vector pSB_Bs3C-luxABCDE.
