Session 11
First meeting after have chosen our subject.
Planning
Made a preliminary planning:
- Today, team division and general discussion on how to approach things
- Next meeting: Preliminary plan on general approach per group, possible questions for the whole group, and a general discussion. When making the lab-plans, also incorporate deadlines at which goals must be reached.
- Following, weekly meetings to keep everyone up to date?
- End of May: Meeting with the professors / staff of kluyver etc in which each group’s plan will be presented, and we will ask the people attending to give advise / comments / remarks
- June: Lab work!
Team Division
As already mentioned, our subject can be divided into 4 subparts, but each subpart will need team members as well as an initial plan of action.
1. Hydrocarbon degradation
Team members: Hugo, Mathias & Kira
- Focus on alkenes
- Paper by Rojo: 3 main enzymes, Make different strains for each type of alkene degradation (different enzymes for different lengths), Gene’s are in a cluster, so design a primer for this cluster,
- Using GC for measuring the alkenes?
- Hydrocarbon Resistance: Paper by Lazaroaie => This is phase 2! First start with a “normal” strain under mild conditions – check how high the normal resistance is?
- Drug efflux pump will create Drug resistance in E.coli (ethical subject!), Pseudomonas & E.coli membranes are pretty similar according to Hugo
2. Salt tolerance
Team members: Nadine, Mia
- Salt in the solution: test with sodium chloride
- Conductivity or polarity measurements?
- Paper with salt tolerancein E.coli: Kapardra
- Biobrick: not well characterized? Check presentation? If not: Characterize it?
- Ecotin? (osmoprotectant)
- Regulation system? Sensor? Existing biobrick?
3. Emulsifier
Team members: Pieter, Eva
- First look at hydrocarbon degrading organisms first, and what kind of emulsifier they excrete and see if we can use this (see nature review on huddle for further reference)
- Designing our own peptide? (but this would be a bit more difficult, but possible, no more than 16 aa!)
- Export would be the main problem? (Self-destroying population?)
- Start by choosing the emulsifier
4. Modeling & possible products
Team members: Jelmer, Luke
- MFA (3 days?) Alkene degradation: look at SB assignment…
- Thermodynamics?
- Prediction of growthrate (Heijnen hypothesis?)
- Prediction of emulsion capacity
- Molecular dynamics simulation
- Towards the end of the project model if we could put everything together?
- Regulation strategy for salt tolerance?
- PHB, butanol or ethanol?
