We graciously thank the following parties for helping to fund this year's IGEM project:

• Columbia University Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science.

• The Cooper Union Joint Activities Committee for funding student clubs.

• The Rose-Sandholm Biology Initiative to help us build up our laboratory offerings for students at The Cooper Union.

A special thanks to the following iGEM teams and people:

• Dr. Scott Banta for overseeing our project, providing invaluable advice and allowing us to work in his lab at Columbia.
• Dr. Alan West for his expertise in copper etching.
• Dr. David Orbach for overseeing our project, generating novel ideas and approaches to our goal and allowing us to work in the Kanbar Center at Cooper.
• Dionne Lutz for walking the genetic team through countless protocols, supervising our work in the Kanbar lab, helping organize our Maker Faire table and providing motivation and optimism.
• Sudipta Majumdar for helping us construct plasmids and patiently teaching us new protocols.
• Kevin Dooley for help with expression experiments, providing us with a GFP gene and identifying and removing cut sites within our biobrick and answering questions as we became acquainted with Dr. Banta's lab.
• Tushar Patel for providing us with a GFP gene and answering questions as we became acquainted with Dr. Banta's lab.
• Jason Candreva for being extremely patient with us, teaching us various transformation protocols with ecoli and ferrooxidans and answering every question we threw at him.
• Sara Chuang for initializing the iGEM team.
• iGEM Team Uppsala University for sending us the following parts: BBa_K592004, BBa_K592005, BBa_K592006, BBa_K592009, BBa_K592010, and BBa_K592016
• iGEM Team ETH Zurich for sending us E. coli codon-optimized Pif3 and PhyB
• Dr. Nicole Frankenberg-Dinkel for her advice and for sending plasmids pASK-fphAN753s and pTDho1
