Questions
Debriefing
Laboratory
The following laboratory-related activities were performed today:
- Preparation of media in the Teaching Lab.
- Completion of list of required laboratory materials.
- Completion of list of required constructs.
Issues/Considerations
- For the DNA constructs, the nature of the vectors employed by each team needs to be specified.
- A safety report (?) for each project is required by Mr D. Featherbe.
Wiki
Today, marked the start of the restructuring of the heavily overloaded team wiki. A refined structure was decided upon; transformation is expected to be completed by the start of the new week.
Projects
Work on the four projects continued:
HRP
The following tasks were completed:
- Constructs design
- Methodologies and protocols employed in the project.
- List of equipment to be used.
- Possible application in biofilm project.
Cell-Free System
This team completed the following:
- Protocols on vesicle formation.
- Shopping lists for Kirsten.
Issues/Considerations
- Email Christina about more information (...concerning?).
Cell-by-Date
Work was done on:
- Completing protocols for CBD
Issues/Considerations
- Investigation should be made of promoters not only in the registry, but also on openwetware.
Biofilm
- Literature reading: [AHL] & Protocols for biofilm formation
- Decision regarding choice of two possible reporters, which would be then be critically compared.
- Team wiki page required restructuring/refinement. Work commenced, specifically with regards to project description.
- Devise plan on how to compare results from different chassis'.
- Plan/Start Modelling.
- Application of HRP.
- Name for project.
- Diffusion of AHL in biofilms.
Project Definition
Yesterday's debriefing yielded a considerable amount of confusion regarding the course of the team's projects; particularly the role of HRP. A new project definition was formulated on the basis of much discussion that took place after Wednesday's debriefing.
Modelling
Imperial's Molecular Predation Oscillator of 2006 was reviewed, with particular emphasis placed on the modelling element. A presentation on the modelling cycle followed & techniques employed will be given tomorrow.
