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
