Big thanks to all of the supervisors for watching over us and guiding us through the project. Thanks also to David Simmons, Georgia Kafer and their lab for hosting us.
We would like to thank the following people for their contributions during our project:
[http://www.scmb.uq.edu.au/staff/susan-rowland Dr. Susan Rowland] from [http://www.scmb.uq.edu.au/ School of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences], [http://uq.edu.au/ The University of Queensland], for sharing her bacterial expertise with us and guiding us with the project. We are also indebted to her for providing us with plasmid vectors pET16.1 and pBAD containing lacI and araC.
[http://www.qfab.org/about/people Dr. Melissa Davis] from [http://qfab.org/ Queensland Facility for Advanced Bioinformatics], [http://www.imb.uq.edu.au/ Institute for Molecular Biosciences], [http://uq.edu.au/ The University of Queensland] for guiding us through the modeling of the system.
Prof. Alex Ninfa from [http://www.umich.edu/ University of Michigan], for his expert knowledge on oscillatory system and his bacterial strain 3.300L*G. We also thank him for advising us on how to integrate genes into the bacterial chromosome.
[http://www.molbio1.princeton.edu/cox/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=61%3Atom-kuhlman&catid=34%3Acurrent-memebers&Itemid=53 Tom Kuhlman] from the Cox Lab at Princeton University for sharing his knowledge of bacterial chromosome integration and sending us the plasmids pTKRED, pTKIP and pTKS/CS.
