Collaboration with Dundee iGEM team 2013

The Dundee iGEM team 2013 is also working on bioremediation: The toxin microcystein is released into the water from lysed cyanobacteria and appears in great amounts during algal blooms. This cyclic peptide toxin covalently binds the protein phosphatase type 1 (PP1) and is thereby toxic for mammals. The idea of the Dundee iGEM team is to express the PP1 protein as an absorber for microcystin. We received their PP1 BioBrick, converted it from RFC 10 to RFC 25 and constructed some expression plasmids to transform Physcomitrella patens in order to apply Dundee's molecular mop in an aquatic, photoautotrophic chassis and thus expand their project´s applicability.

Description

Collaboration with Paris-Saclay iGEM team 2013

The iGEM team Paris_Saclay is working on the detection and degradation of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polychlorinated_biphenyl polychlorinated biphenyl] (PCB) in the context of bioremediation.
We arranged a skype-meeting in which we presented our projects to each other and agreed afterward that we exchange some coding BioBricks which we are constructing during this summer in order the test the BioBrick of the other team in an other Chassis.

Exchange of urgently needed BioBricks

LMU Munich iGEM team 2012

We received the fluorescent proteins GFP, mKate2 and mVenus in RFC 25 from the 2012 Team of LMU Munich.

Tuebingen iGEM team 2013

We sent our pTUM100 vector system from the 2012 competition to the iGEM Team of Tuebingen.

Uppsala iGEM team 2013

We provided the iGEM Team Uppsala with xxx

-The iGEM team [https://2013.igem.org/Team:Dundee Dundee] 2013 also decided to work on bioremediation. They identified the toxin microcystein, which becomes typically released into water after algal blooms caused by cyanobacteria. This cyclic peptide toxin binds covalently the  protein phosphatases type 1 (PP1) and is therefore toxic for mammals. The idea of the Dundee iGEM team is to express the PP1 protein as a absorber for microcystin in the environment. We received their PP1 BioBrick, will convert it from RFC 10 to RFC 25, construct some expression plasmids and transform ''Physcomitrella patens'' in order to have the Dundee's molecular mop in a aquatic, photoautotrophic chassis in order to expand the applicability of their project.
