Formal meeting - 26th March 2010
- Room: CBCB; Start: 11 am
- Chair: Jannetta, Minutes: Rachel, Computer: Harsh
- Present: Jen, Janetta, Neil, Steven,Younus, Da, Alan, Richard, Harsh
- Apologies: Phil (holiday), Jem and Matt
- Approval of agenda and minutes - Approved
Research Feedback
- Properties of concrete and surface tension (Zoltan and Steven)
- High compressive strength low tensile strength
- Steal added good for temp change
- CaCO3 – similar to concrete; expand same as concrete - might crack like concrete
- Spider silk like steal - reduce possibility of cracking
- Glue - no many papers - expansion may not be a problem?
- Silk alkali resistant
- Capillary properties of concrete change over time- in project we consider small rapid
- Cement water ratio and surface area and environment
- Where to look for the cracks? Crack pattern
- Microinjection (Zoltan and Steven)
- Simple issue
- Not correct term
- Swimming Bacillus
- Oxygen gradient big selling points
- Genetics Homologous recombination plasmid chromosome (Harsh and Rachel)
- Test in plasmids- Find good plasmid
- Integrate into genome
- Recombination site... Find!!!
- amyE site amylase with insert can’t break down amylase
- Nutrients (Harsh and Rachel)
- Bacteria algae growth living in concrete
- Only activate feed bacillus
- Two hybrid
- Biofilms exclude other not algae
- Antifungals, antialgaes, antibiotic
- Sporulation, germination and secretion control (Alan and Da)
- SpoA – last years team sporulation control, maybe turn off completely
- Nutrient availability
- KinA
- Inducible promoter
- Glue out of bug
- Quorum sensing (Younus and Phil)
- CompX and cff
- Two-component system comP
- Kill switch (Richard and Jannetta)
- Why ? Don’t want?- not die after job fill new cracks
- Nuclease
- Phil masEF
- Skf SbB
- If linear DNA works
- Glue, CaCo3 and spider silk (Zoltan and Jannetta)
- Bacteria that produce CaCo3 from urea
- How secrete spider silk long complex proteins – how can we make it happen in bacillus
- Secretion systems
- Other points
- Linear DNA – Richard
- Justifications of Linear
- Build it up the use.
- Mutations- How stop general questions
- Not specifically a problem – keep thinking about it though
Action points
- All - Read Voygt paper
- All - Next week working off the proper wiki
- Janetta contact details doc in drop box
- Janetta and Richard – Flow chart!!!
- Reminder to neil and jen not welcome trust funding by 2nd of April?
- Janetta - T-shirt sponsors and logo – embroidered / print mixed – 5 or 6 sponsors design your own- printing cheaper, quotes dependent on design
- Jannetta - send us links for graphic design software- please
- Transfer the wiki
- Individual iGEM applications - Phil hasn’t applied; Richard not accepted; Janetta text Phil
- Jen/Neil - Pay for team!!
- Visas/Passport update - Harsh will apply May/June; Richard needs to get a visa waiver
Wiki transfer
- Clarify contents of identified pages
- Ethics page
- Research page
- Safety page
- Identify other pages required
- Ideas for layout/theme
- Zoltan - Tidy it up - Urgent
- Borrow last years / Look at anything thats nice
- It evolves!!! We can change it
Travel plans
- Flights and Accomodation
- Need to sort out who is going
Funding
- Harsh has made draft letter
- Main chemical company – free stuff?
Advisors/additional team members - civil engineer/graphics designer

- Modelling part two
What next?
- Flow chart of what we’re going to do Big picture!!!
- If its coloured life is easier
- Cambridge brick - Colour
- Web services for Biosynthetics, Flow chart
- Taverner
Time line discussion
- Need someone else on time line.
- 16th of June Lab induction
- Deadlines soon
- Change flight deadline – not 31st
Other business
- PDF mark up tools – PDF exchange viewer, foxit, keeps mark-up
- Making dropbox use better
