Results summary
- We tested the growth of our experimental strain, Bacillus subtilis 168, under various conditions relevant to the work we are going to perform.
- We tested the Kanamycin resistance conferred by pTG262 in B.subtilis and E.coli.
- We created an assembly to demonstrate that Fur box is able to repress gene expression upon exposure to high iron concentrations.
- We cloned out and characterised a Fur transcription factor.
- We cloned a Neisserial Ferric binding protein A (FbpA) as a BioBrick.
- We generated a fusion of Pyruvate decarboxylase (pdc) and Alcohol dehydrogense B (adhB). We characterised it thoroughly and demonstrated that such co-localisation can increase ethanol production at least twofold.
- We cloned SinR and analysed biofilm formation in WT B.subtilis.
- We had a great summer, and plan to have fun at the Regional Jamboree.
