Team:Lyon-INSA-ENS/Sponsors/Collaboration

The TU Delft team also works on a part which can provide stickiness to E. coli. Thus, we have decided to collaborate to improve the results and characterization of each other part. Their project is about mussel glue and protein responsible of the attachement of mussel to rocks.

After an exchange of e-mails and a visioconference, we were able to find different ways to help each other.

Both team had issue with a promoter existing in the registry, we have decided to synthesise a strong promoter (tac promoter) and to provide it to TU Delft team. We have shared our stickiness characterization protocol in 24 well plate and by violet crystal. With theses protocols, they were also able to repeat our experiment to confirm our results. They provide us an access to their confocal microscope to get some detailled pictures of our sticky strain.
