Week of March 22nd

March 17, 2014

Researched articles on the effects of heavy metals on waste water treatment plants and the effects of heavy metals on bacteria to prepare for our presentation on N.multiformis metabolism optimization. Searched for common bacteria with heavy metal resistance genes that could be possibly insert into our bacterial chassis; finding sequences and reading about success rates in data of those that had been transferred.

March 20, 2014

Searched for the most commonly prescribed antibiotics in the United States. Top prescribed antibiotics include penicillins and macrolides according to the New England Journal of Medicine (2013) [http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc1212055#t=article]

March 21, 2014

Searched articles on the effectiveness of macrolide and beta-lactam degradation enzymes. Researched bacteria with a known gene sequences to degrade both types of antibiotics.
