| We are proud to say that all the ideas we worked on this summer were proposed by undergraduate members of our team Tokyo_Tech 2014. Moreover, the whole experimental data created by our team comes from experiments all carried out by undergraduates. The "Bank E. coli" project was proposed by Naoto Takahashi. Modeling related to this project was done by Takuya Kato and Ye Kai. We want to thank every advisors and instructors who helped us discussing these ideas and guided us in the experiments. | |

| General Support | |
| Prof. Kiga let us use his lab for all of our experiments. He also has led many Tokyo Tech teams to the excellent results in iGEM since this competition has started. | |
| Prof. Yamamura and Prof. Konagaya supported us in many ways to give us a better researching environment. | |
| Prof. Ayukawa supported us in our experiment throughout the preparations for iGEM. Promega provided us the part of restriction enzyme we used without any charge. | |
| Instrumental Analysis Support | |
| Biomaterial Analysis Center, Technical Department, checked the sequence of plasmids which we had asked. | |
| Policy and Practice Contributions | |
| Tomoya Saito, who is working for National Institute of Public Health, gave us a lecture about dual-use technologies and useful advice about biosafety. | |
| Hiromichi Ando arranged MUSE TALK and let us present there. | |
| Akihiro Hiyoshi, who is the principal of Ohyamaguchi Elementary School, gave us a chance to communicate with students. | |
| And last but not least | |
| We would like to thank everyone who came to our progress presentations and gave useful feedback and input: | |
| - Fumio Arisaka, Toshiaki Fukui, Takeshi Hata, Junji Hirota, Hiroshi Iwasaki, Satoshi Nakamura, Shunichiro Ogura, Hideki Taguchi, Masahiro Takinoue, Yasunori Tanji, Hirokazu Urabe, Masaaki Wachi, Robert F. Whittier, Daniel Berrar, Mai Miura, Taku Nakayama, Goshi Sugano, Naoki Tsukuda and Nobuaki Yasuo | |
