General support
James Chappell, Dr Travis Bayer and others helped us during our brainstorming.
Dr Geoff Balwin is letting us use his lab for some experiments.
Chemotaxis support
Prof Xiaodong Zhang at Imperial College, got us into contact with Juan Luis Ramos in Spain.
Juan Luis Ramos at Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas managed to provide us mcpS gene on pRK415.
Dr Ben Blount has helped us with using of the FACS machine during the data collection.
Arabidopsis support
The Arabidopsis thaliana team was kindly supported by Dr Thorsten Hamann and Dr Colin Turnbull's labs at Imperial. In particular, Issariya Chairam and David Charles helped enormously with designing and setting up plant experiments.
A number of Arabidopsis seeds were supplied by labs all over Britain:
DR5:GFP seeds were supplied by Samantha Fox from Dr Enrico Coen's group at the John Innes Centre, which focuses on plant development in A. thaliana. Permission to use the seeds and publish results was kindly granted by Dr Jiri Friml at the VIB.
DR5:GUS seeds were supplied by Dr Gerard Bishop at Imperial College.
DR:3XVENUS seeds were supplied by Dr Darren Wells at the University of Nottingham. Dr Wells is a research fellow in the Centre for Plant Integrative Biology.
Modelling support
Dr Robert Endres is a Senior Lecturer in Systems Biology at Imperial College. He is an expert in chemotaxis modelling and kindly helped our team with their model of cell movement.
Imaging support
Dr Martin Spitaler and Mark Scott of the Facility for Imaging by Light Microscopy (FILM) at Imperial helped with the set up and execution of imaging of bacterial uptake into plant roots and chemotaxis imaging.
Human practices support
Dr Alexandru Milcu at Imperial advised us about above/below ground interactions and rhizosphere ecology.
Dr Robert Griffiths at the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology advised us about soil microbial ecology.
Wiki support
