Accomplishments

The University of Calgary iGEM Team has had many accomplishments this Summer

In our promoter project...
We designed a novel protocol to identify small hydrophobic molecule interacters. We were able to successfully biotinylate a naphthenic acid, suggesting that we may be able to biotinylate other small hydrophobic molecuels to screen for interactors in the search for sensory elements.
Identified a gene that is upregulated in the presence of NA's, suggesting a possible promoter regions.

In our Reporter Project, we characterized a novel reporter function for the lacZ gene using an electrochemical output.

In our Chassis project...
We characterized a Pseudomonas-E. coli conjugation construct
Submitted parts and protocols for future work in microalgae and Pseudomonas
