Wet Lab
- Lab space was set up, involving arranging equipment and material and organizing work spaces
- We ordered bits and bob we'd be needing for the lab work
- We contacted some suppliers, in the hope of getting discounts or help in obtaining materials
- Planning! We had to finalise the genes we required, and design the recombinase switch. PCR primer design was also crucial, allowing us to isolate our specific genes ad insert preffixes, suffices and RBS
- In the lab, we set up the E.Coli strains we would be using: DS941, DS941-Z1, Top10 and DH5 alpha. We also generated transformed strains using plasmids from the iGEM 2014 distribution - including those containing GvpA and GvpC
- Smaller sub teams were created, to spread the work out evenly and improve efficiency
- A dry lab was set up for the Biomedical Engineers, who are currently working on methods to model, observe and measure how buoyancy will affect the bacteria
- Facebook, Twitter and a group email account was set up, to allow us to communicate our project to the public
- Plans began for our stall at the "Meet the Expert" event at Glasgow Science Center, an excellent opportunity to interact with the public and gauge their reaction to our proposed project. This involved planning activities for the stall, and completing risk assessments.
- CAKE ROTA was established, no lie. Every Friday, a different team member would supply baked goods for our weekly meeting.
