Team:LMU-Munich/Inverter
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".

Inverter
The LMU-Munich 2011 Team started a project to convert a positive input signal into a negative output or a negative input signal into a positive output.
Last year LMU-Munich designed a metal-sensing device. However, it turned out that some of the promoters that respond to metal ions are negativly regulated. So there was a need of an inverter, a genetic part that converts the repression of the metal sensing promoter in a positive output.
Since such a genetic part would be a very beneficial tool, Julia, who also participated in iGEM 2011, continued the work from last year and got some great results.
