Formal Meeting - 1st July 2010
Roll call
Everyone here except Phil and Younus who are in the lab. Arrived 10 mins later.
Action points from last week
- Wiki changes have been made.
- Letter to Andrew Young is not finished - someone needs to be in charge of this.
- Civil engineer funding is not done yet.
- Flights: plan is to get there on Thursday about 4-5 p.m.
Research feedback - end of crack signalling, quorum sensing
- Oxygen limitation triggers subtilin production, ResD and E.
- Need subtilin immunity brick too spaIFEG.
- Subtilin receptor was done in 2008 by Newcastle spaRK.
- Want it to be triggered by both oxygen limitation and by subtilin. Oxygen to trigger the production at the end of the crack, subtilin to propagate the signal.
- We need to get the strain with these genes. ATCC6633.
Lab feedback
- Arginine and urease tests - Harsh and Alan. The experiment has been designed, waiting for the materials. In the lab at 4 pm.
- Urea media, grown overnight, If the urea is used, there will be a colour change.
- Arginine test. Bug in LB, supplement with arginine. If arginine is used, pH increase.
- Phil and Younus, transforming E. coli dh5alpha with the vector that we will be using for lacI. Plasmid extraction tomorrow.
Logo and T-shirts
- Finalised.
- University logo must be correct - take it from the University website, not from anywhere else. Fill in the form to get the high resolution image.
- CBCB logo needs to be added. Ask Jeff or Joanna.
Visas
- Younus still hasn't filled in the visa-waiver form.
Funding
- Andrew Young letter needs to be finished and checked tomorrow.
Timeline
- Could be made more detailed now.
- Might need another brick, for motility or swarming. Definitely do not want biofilm formation.
- Spider silk next? It's on our logo so we should do it.
Action points
- Phil: talk to Dr Aldridge about glue. How easy would it be to design a glue BioBrick?
- All: Andrew Young letter needs to be finished and checked tomorrow.
Next meeting
- Next Wednesday, 3 p.m.
- Chair: Harsh, Minutes: Alan, Computer: Phil
