Roll calls
- Apologies: Phil and Deena
- Absence: Colin Harwood and Colin Davie
Modelling
Metabolic Flux Balance Analysis - Show the judges what happen when we alter the enzyme levels to produce different outcomes.
Lab feedback
- Gibson cloning - Joining of 2 fragments together works, but could not be ligated into the vector. Need more time to perfect the technique.
- Subtilin immunity - Same as rocF
- yneA - Transforming into Bacillus subtilis 168 strains works and we have filamentous cells. However still not able to integrate yneA into Pmutin strains. Could use a plasmid that have already contain the IPTG system. For characterization, we could either do a titration with IPTG together with time lapse microscopy to measure the length of the cells.
- Arabinose promoter - Insert the promoter in front of GFP and characterize with the addition of arabinose.
Concrete
- Use different bacteria to seal up the cracks.
- Preincubate the concrete in media.
Wiki
Lab book is up to date.
Visas
ESTA must be completed (if required) ASAP.
T-shirt
Upload the t-shirt files into the dropbox.
Action points
- Neil and Jen - To register the team.
- Alan - To email Jen about the IPTG plasmid and the letters for the sucrose plates.
- Harsh - To crack the concrete into smaller pieces.
- Wendy - To talk to the EM people.
Item(s) for next agenda
- Go through the presentation slides and refine. Cut down the number of slides so that it fits the 20 minutes time limit
Next meeting
- Chair: Harsh, Minutes: Younus, Computer: N/A
