This is a template page. READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
You are provided with this team page template with which to start the iGEM season. You may choose to personalize it to fit your team but keep the same "look." Or you may choose to take your team wiki to a different level and design your own wiki. You can find some examples HERE.
You MUST have all of the pages listed in the menu below with the names specified. PLEASE keep all of your pages within your teams namespace.

You should make use of the calendar feature on the wiki and start a lab notebook. This may be looked at by the judges to see how your work progressed throughout the summer. It is a very useful organizational tool as well.

Monday June 18th Re-hydrated Parts to get practice: J23101 E0240 E0040 R0010 pSB1C3 pSB1A3 pSB1AK3 pSB1K3 B0034 I13602

Transformed these parts into E. coli strain DH5α

We cultured 4 parts from glycerol stocks for more practice!
J45120 for wintergreen smell! In 2mM salisylic acid.
J45200 for banana smell! In 5mM isoamyl alcohol.
R0010 for it's promoting abilities.
E0240 for GFP!

We also narrowed our project down to three ideas:
Producing spider silk proteins in bacteria.
Degrading plastics in bacteria.
Creating an Archaea toolkit and using them for bioplastic, biofuel, and isoprenoid production.
