Scientists

iGEM instructors

In first, we thank our amazing instructor : Gilles Truan. He was with us from the beginning to the end and even more ! Moreover, he knows how to grill sausages better than anyone !
We warmly thank all the other instructors that helped us when we were lost with the scientific part or stressed by the lack of money... Especially, thanks to Brice Enjalbert, Florence Bordes, Kaymeuang Cam, Philippe Soucaille, Stéphane Guillouet, Isabelle Meynial-Salles and Alain Marty.
To finish, a special thank to Claude Maranges, who helped us a lot with the sponsoring parts and all the administrative problems that we encountered.

Bacillus subtilis specialists

Even if Bacillus subtilis is a gram positive model bacterium, at our lab (LISBP) there is no one working on it. It is why we asked other people to help us when we had question about B. subtilis.
Nathalie Campo, from the LMGM, helped us a lot with her advices and her kindness.
Thierry Doan, from the IMM, brilliantly answered to our questions about the integration of plasmids into B. subtilis.
Sarah Guiziou also helped us with her advices and her protocols.

Other iGEM teams

Since several parts that we wanted to use was not in the iGEM kit plates, we asked iGEM teams to send to us some parts :
Thanks to the iGEM Warsaw team, especially Radoslaw Stachowiak, for sending us the biobricks BBa_K780000, BBa_K780001, BBa_K780002 and BBa_K780003.
Thanks to the iGEM Utah State team, especially Charles Miller, for sending us the biobrick BBa_K1162001.
