- Created a reliable electroporation protocol for Bacillus Subtilis - Developed a working seed sterilization protocol for our greenhouse control experiments - Devised a genetic construct to produce phytosiderophores - Reached over 7,000 school-age children through the ZipTrips program - Engaged over 100 farmers and industry representatives at Beck's Hybrid's "Becknology Days" event - Performed engineering and science outreach with urban children at the Christamore House - Completed greenhouse control experiments with corn and rice to determine growth at varying iron levels - Submitted five new individual parts and one new device to the iGEM registry - Fully planned out a final greenhouse experiment using rice and corn plants with control plants, wild-type bacillus, and our engineered microbes. - Created a full feasibility report and cost-benefit analysis of our Minecrobe solution - Incorporated a lactose-inducible kill switch as a safety consideration into our project - Collaborated with academic and industry experts to gain perspective on the problem and our solution - Developed siderophore assays for characterization of our genetic construct - Researched growth protocols for greenhouse plants and developed full growing and feeding schedulesAccomplishments
