The Recombinase Team ! When we decided to use recombinase systems at the beginning of our project, we found that an iGEM team in the US (Michigan University) had worked last year on FimE, a specific recombination system. We established contact with them in order to get some relevant information about the recombinases and understand better how they worked. After several mail exchanges we planned a videoconference between our teams to discuss about our project and the different biobricks that could have been interesting for us or them. We received their improved fimE system from last year with the IRR and IRL sequences. In counterpart we send them our riboregulation system, but unfortunately it was too late for us to use it in their system.

In order to help the iGEM Norwich team (to make a new biosensor that can detect new antibiotics), we collected soil samples from the famous "Canal du Midi". We hope that it served them in their great project!

Also thank you to all the other teams who helped us:
