Collaboration
We have cooperated with many other teams and persons in the academic world:
iGEM Linköping 2013 debuted this year and we helped them with for example characterization of a construct (what construct). They hosted us in Linköping, and visited our synbioday to talk about their project. We have also had regular contact and given each other feedback.
SLU professor Stefan Roos generously gave us access to many lactobacillus strains and plasmids, and advised us throughout the project.
Slovenia iGEM 2010 gave us plasmids with genes in the carotenoid pathway.
Conrad et. al.. sent us a bacterial gene for Tyrosine ammonia lyase (TAL) from rhodobacter sphaeroides. Here is a link to their article describing its function:
Robert J. Conrado et al, DNA guided assembly of biosynthetic pathways promotes improved catalytic effiency. Nucleic Acids Research , 2012, Vol 40 NO 4, 1879-1889.
Professor Gerhard Wagner at answered questions about plasmid replication.
iGEM Washington 2012 gave us plasmids with genes for our work with saffron.
iGEM Trieste 2012 sent us a probiotic strain of E. coli nissle.
We also sent our chromoproteins to
Thanks to all researchers and iGEM:ers for the help and cooperation!
