- Read up on the flagella regulon using following articles;
[http://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC179437/pdf/1795602.pdf]

The FlhD/FlhC Complex, a Transcriptional Activator of the Escherichia coli Flagellar Class II Operons
Xiaoying Liu and Philip Matsumura
Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, Illinois 60612-7344
- Decided to follow the popular "trial-and-error" method and test what effects it will have to put the FlhDC operon after a constitutive promoter.
- Ordered FlhD/C primers
Phototaxis
- Decided to go back to the original idea for controlling phototaxis via a SRII/HtrII/EcTsr fusion-chimeric protein described in the following article;
[http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/bi034399q]
Photostimulation of a Sensory Rhodopsin II/HtrII/Tsr Fusion Chimera Activates CheA-Autophosphorylation and CheY-Phosphotransfer in Vitro†
Vishwa D. Trivedi and, John L. Spudich
Biochemistry 2003 42 (47), 13887-13892
which is shown to work in K-12 E. coli in this article;
[http://jb.asm.org/cgi/content/full/183/21/6365]
An Archaeal Photosignal-Transducing Module Mediates Phototaxis in Escherichia coli
Jung, Kwang-Hwan, Spudich, Elena N., Trivedi, Vishwa D., Spudich, John L.
J. Bacteriol. 2001 183: 6365-6371
- Contacted the original researchers on the mentioned papers for protein sequences and plasmids
Retinal Production
- Decided to atempt to make our backteria synthesise retinal endogenously.
- Designed a new biobrick around the ninaB gene from D. melanogaster, that has been shown to produce a beta-carotene 15,15'-monooxygenase [http://www.jbc.org/content/275/16/11915.long][http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC14720/?tool=pubmed].
- Isolated the gene sequence, and suggested biobricks for the coding region (K343001)
- Proposed four biobricks
BBa_K343000 – FlhDCmut coding sequence
BBa_K343001 - Sandboxed coding sequence from ninaB gene.
BBa_K343002 - Sandboxed coding sequence from ninaB gene on one of the weaker Anderson promoters, with rbs and dual terminator.
BBa_K343003 - Sandboxed coding sequence for the SopII-HtrII-Tsr fusion protein.

Modelling
- Read articles about modelling the flagella movement and their influence on the water flow.
- Looked at the equations describing the system from the article to get an idea of how the physics is applied. The following articles was used in this progress;

- Met with our advisor Associate professor Julian C. Shillcock, PhD (SDU) who helped us plan a model for the system using the article;

The iGEM team had a fun afternoon with many other students when it was "kindergarden day" at the students assiciation on the BMB institute. There were cake, popcorn and juice. You could play different games, like Mario Cart on Nintendo 64 and Kalaha, some painted their own coffee mug and Louise made a plastic pearl iGEM DENMARK logo. She didn't realize she had written 21010 instead of 2010 untill she had melted the pearls together though...rookie mistake
