Project Design and Wet Lab Experiments
The BananaGuard project consists of multiple wet lab modules. Jeremy constructed the fusaric acid sensor while Wen and Tjaša worked on the expression of fungal growth inhibitors. Tjaša focused on chitinase expression while Wen dedicated her time to the other three compounds. The fusaric acid resistance in the biological control agent was Rik’s project. Marlène tested the fungal inhibition in vivo in the greenhouse.
Teresa and Kevin worked on the horizontal gene transfer inhibition and Max, Michiel and Marlène (M&M&M) worked on the Kill-Switch. Max was also responsible for in situ experiments and promoter design.
Walter worked in the wet lab to obtain production kinetic data for the genome-scale metabolic model of Pseudomonas putida.
The iGEM team Wageningen also participated in the Interlab study. Marlène and Rik performed the corresponding experiments.
Modeling
Walter took care of modeling aspects related to metabolic stress, while Bob modeled the killswitch and the behaviour of the system under cell division.
Human Practice
The iGEM team Wageningen established contact between the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) and all Dutch iGEM teams. Bob was their main contact person and Jeremy organized the national meet-up at which RIVM participated. For the collaboration with Synenergene an application scenario was generated. Miguel, Max, Rik and Wen were involved in this task. Miguel took charge of everything interview related. Bob appeared in both videos for human outreach.
Wiki Construction
Rik, Teresa and Tjaša learned how to design a wiki in one summer. Combining everyone’s skills we managed to construct an interactive and user friendly wiki, giving the right importance to the layout as well as to the content. Alba Ramos Álvarez, a Fine Arts student, and Wen supported the Wiki-team with their illustration skills. Also, Sophia, the team captain of XMU-China 2012 helped us a lot with the design and coding of the wiki.

Finances
The sponsoring team consisted of Kevin, Rik, Walter, Marlène and Wen. The sponsor team was involved in finding and contacting our sponsors. Kevin, supported by Rik, was our treasurer, and together they regulated money flow.
Safety
Tjaša, together with Miguel's help, was responsible for safety within the lab and safety regulations by the government. Marlène was in charge of providing all data for the GMO-permit extension, which was needed for the greenhouse experiment.
Other Team Roles
Wen was the Captain of BananaGuard. Teresa acted as the secretary and Michiel functioned as vice secretary. Marlène arranged our amazing team clothes and she also organized the trip to the Jamboree.
Supervisors
Christian Fleck was the head of the whole team. Kees van der Ark, Marnix Vlot, Nico Claassens and Stamatios Damalas were the supervisors of all the subprojects involving experimental work in the laboratory, while Robert Smith and Ruben van Heck supervised the modelling part. Gert Kema and Fernando Garcia Bastidas from Plant Research International supervised the greenhouse and Fusarium oxysporum experiments.
