July
Milestones
- Poster presentation at the congress ‘[http://www.biotechnologie2020plus.de Next generation of biotechnological processes 2020+]’ in Berlin.
9.Week
Organization
- We’ve presented us at the congress ‘[http://www.biotechnologie2020plus.de Next generation of biotechnological processes 2020+]’ in Berlin at 27. June 2013. There we have met an expert (Dr. Falk Harnisch) on the topic of MFC and we have decided to participate the 'Day of Synthetic Biology in Germany'.
MFC
Mediators
Cytochromes
- Design and order of new Primers
- The mtrCAB fragment has two illegal PstI restriction sites at 1793bp and 2078bp, so specific primers to remove them had to be designed. One base in each restriction site was replaced by respective primer overlaps without affecting the coding triplett. The three different fragments will be ligated back together and into the pSB1C3 shipping plasmid via Gibson Assembly.

10.Week
Organization
- We can present new sponsors of iGEM-Team Bielefeld: Stockmeier, Baxter, Promega, BIO.NRW and Applichem will support our team.
MFC
Mediators
- Glycerol dehydrogenase
- Further work on GldA Biobrick is needed: Plasmid restriction analysis and colony PCR could not give sufficient results.
- Successful PCR (standard Phusion PCR) on the <bbpart>BBa_J04450</bbpart> Biobrick plasmid using Forward Primer pSB1C3 and Reverse Primer pSB1C3 for later Gibson Assembly.
- Gibson Assembly with GldA PCR product and pSB1C3 PCR product.
- Screening of colonies from Gibson Assembly with colony PCR and Plasmid restriction analysis shows religated pSB1C3, as already seen while using NEB Assembly Kit.
Biosafety
Porines
- We will try to use Gibson Assembly for cloning OprF into pSB1C3.
- Gibson Assembly with OprF PCR product and pSB1C3 PCR product. Screening of colonies from Gibson Assembly]] with colony PCR and Plasmid restriction analysis shows religated pSB1C3, as already seen while using NEB Assembly Kit.
11.Week
Organization
- We’ve presented us at the congress “[http://www.bio.nrw.de/studentconvention BioNRW pHD Student Convention]” in Düsseldorf at 13. July 2013 with a short presentation about iGEM and our project.
- We proudly present our [http://ekvv.uni-bielefeld.de/blog/uniaktuell/entry/mit_bakterien_batterie_strom_erzeugen first press release.] It was amazing to see how often our press release was picked up.

Mediators
- Glycerol dehydrogenase
- Repeating Gibson Assembly shows every time a religated pSB1C3, a Gibson overlap of Prefix and Suffix with 20 bp seems to be to short, furthermore Prefix and Suffix have too many homologous regions.

12.Week
Organization
- Dr. Falk Harnisch will have a presentation at CeBiTec colloquium as an expert for our team.
- Preparing experiments for the ‘Day of Synthetic Biology’. Our ideas are to have different experiments like DNA isolation from fruit and vegetables, pipetting of bright colors, chromatography with markers, a potato battery or microscopy.
- The TV station [http://www1.wdr.de/mediathek/video/sendungen/lokalzeit/lokalzeit-owl WDR] would like to contribute with us on our topic.

- Glycerol dehydrogenase
- New Primerdesign for pSB1C3 with longer overlaps individually for each part in order to stop the problem of religated pSB1C3:
- Forward Primer pSB1C3 GldA (43 bp): TCCTGCAAGAGTGGGAATAATACTAGTAGCGGCCGCTGCAGTC
- Reverse Primer pSB1C3 GldA (43 bp): GATTGAATAATGCGGTCCATCTAGAAGCGGCCGCGAATTCCAG

- Gradient: 54°C - 71°C over 8 steps
- Primer: mtrC_fwd & mtr_Frag1_rev
- Template: S. oneidensis PCR Template from genomic DNA
- Notes: Annealing temperature has no significant impact on the PCR
