- "light up" the plants for replacing lamp posts.
2011.03.04
Discussion:
- Team advisory
- Brain storming
- Add-ons: colorful cellulose which produced by bacteria such as beta-carotene
- information exchange with iGEM 2009 Cambridge team
2011.03.14
Discussion:
- Task Allocation
- Brain storming
- Avatar - "light up" the plants by transfecting symbiotic bacteria which cloned into fluorescence gene
- Eco-friendly warmer - biotic thermal pad
2011.03.23
Discussion:
- Project : paperia
- Option 1 : Culture bacteria which has pigment gene
- Option 2 : Cellulose-producing bacteria secrete pigment into the medium
2011.03.24
Discussion:
- Exp. procedure:
- cloning of cellulose gene’s CDS
- the product should operate within E. coli.
2011.06.22
Discussion:
- Due to some unforseen reason, the team decided to change their project.
- New project: Biojenny
-economical and humane way to produce paper in large quantities.
-yeast to be our host
2011.07.01
Discussion:
- Freeze > grin > genome DNA isolation > Cloning = silk protein gene
2011.07.09
Discussion:
- the connections between 3 silk proteins : Fibl Fibh P25
- major proteins : H-chain, L-chain, P25
2011.07.15
Discussion:
- Due to limited resources and techniques required, the team decided to switch back to the previous project. Paper making !
- However it would be modified to be more innovative and creative.
2011.07.18
Discussion:
- Latest project : Photo paper
- cyanobacteria is designed as the host, cellulose made up of the glucose produced by cyanobacteria could be one of the main attraction of the project.
2011.07.23
Discussion:
- system modification to overcome the problems arises during preliminary round
- Biobricks from Tokyo 2010 team will be utilized
- regulator promoter in order to regulate the secretion of cellulose to solve the aggregation of the bacteria
