Prologue
  • The team gathered up. We consist of ten persons from different fields of study in the masters program. The fields are informatics of natural science, bioinformatics and genome science, biotechnology and genome based systems biology.
  • A sponsoring team was build up pretty soon to start the financial part of our project. The first extra meetings were planned. We made a sponsoring folder as a giveaway.
  • Team Bielefeld-CeBiTec 2014 decided on a team color which is turqoise.
  • We started to plan a weekend for further discussions and to find a project
  • Our homepage was published with first information
  • An inlet was created with more information for interested companies
  • We added our 11th member Silke
  • For the public view we selected social media agents
  • First plans for policy and practices topics were made: We will participate at the pupils academy, at the NRW day, and some more
  • Themes discussed this month:
    • Mangan-mushroom
      • Manganoxyde may bind metals
      • Interesting to clean the environment
      • Hydrogen peroxide is produced -> no realization in bacteria possible
    • Clam glue
      • Fibers can be made uv resistent
      • Underwater hardening possible (30 seconds)
      • Expressed in E.coli 2008
      • Potential for clinical use
    • Earthquake sensing by toad (theories)
      • toads messure radon gas before earthquakes
      • toads have geomagnetism sensing
      • toads react on full moon
    • Garbage reduction with bacteria
    • Regeneration of body parts (Axolotl)
    • Sea cucumber: Production of kollagen for cosmetics
    • Bacterial power cord
    • Production of clothes with bacteria
    • Photosynthesis with artificial plants via biofilm
    • Degradation of electronic scrap
    • CO2 fixation
      • Hydroxypropionate cycle
      • Carboxysome
      • Formiat
    • Sodiumpump for ATP production
    • Biocomputers
    • Degradation of cellulose to bioethanol
    • O2-production
    • Living antibiotica
    • Smog combating
  • We are planning the tour to LMU Munich where different iGEM teams of germany are meeting. We decided to do a talk about our project
  • Themes discussed this month:
    • Biofuels
    • Biocomputing
    • Biomining
    • Smog drones / Smog combating
    • Sodiumpump
    • Light-driven proton pump
    • Living antibiotica
    • CO2-fixation
    • Nitrit reduction
    • Clam glue
    • Sea cucumber
  • We visited Merk and did a talk about our project ideas
  • Our 11th member, Silke, left us because of her change of university
  • We paid our fees for iGEM and are fully registered
  • A group of students from the university of Bielefeld presented their labeling system IceTag. It is only a prototype and we do not know if we have the chance to test it
  • We drove to Winterberg were we meet up for weekend to discuss our promising topics. We talked about:
    • Phages
    • rMFC
    • Plastic degradation
    • Urban mining
    • CO2-fixation
