We started contacting teams that have worked with Savinase and DspB. We started the initial work of purifying AmyA which was available at BYU. As well we started outlining the biofilm degradation assay using positive and negative controls.

Continued our work of cloning AmyA and Savinase into E. coli. Ran initial biofilm degradation assays using urea as a positive control.

We are still having issues with AmyA and Savinase. We are starting to fine tune our biofilm degradation assay.
