It’s a great honor for me to introduce our attractive “byproduct”——Bio Bang. We designed these special card for these high school students who were the top ten on our scoring list. These sets of cards——we called them Bio Bang——were inspired by War Within Three Kingdoms, which are very popular in China,just like Bang! in America. It consists of abundant role-relationship and mutual promotion and restraint between every cards. The Bio Bang is themed with synthetic biology, including genetic engineering experiments, biological materials and equipment. We’ve also assimilate knowledge of biosafety into these set of cards in order to popularize knowledge of biosafety in lab, public and environment. This kind of propaganda tool is very useful to make different knowledge about genetic engineering and biology get across to high school students. Some example of them are shown as follows:</p>

Our team conducted a synthetic biology survey before our lecture entitled "Contemporary introduction to synthetic biology". hWe wanted to compare how much they knew about synthetic biology and iGEM before the lecture with what their knowledge about them after our presentation in order to assess our work. We’ve prepared 300 questionnaires and handed out 227 of them. Among these drew-back questionnaires, 180 of them are valid. We put 12 questions on the questionnaire as below.<br/> <br/>

that the solution can cover all the gel. <br />

3. Which parts do you think are the most intriguing about synthetic biology after our lecture?<br/>

- Put the petri dish onto the orbital shaker and dye for approximate 1 h.<br />

4. Have you ever heard about iGEM before our lecture? <br/>

Discussion<br/>
 
-
Two major findings have been obtained from this analysis.<br/> <br/>
 
-
First of all, we drew a conclusion that almost everyone learned a lot from our lecture although they tended to be unfamiliar about the details of synthetic biology. Comparing the number of people who know about iGEM and the number of people who are willing to participate in iGEM we think the number of people who are interested in iGEM increases nearly 60%. Just look at the reasons why they don’t want to participate, most people chose no time and no supports. Only few people claimed that they were not interested in it and far less people said they didn’t like biology at all. Considering that our high school students are under so much pressure from National College Entrance Examination and some high school are too poor to afford technologies and apparatus, our results indicated a really good reality that almost everyone was willing to accept this new science and technology. <br/> <br/>
 
-
Second, as for how to popularize iGEM and synthetic biology, we summarize two points. <br/> <br/>
 
-
On the one hand, popularizing iGEM and synthetic biology via internet can reach a good effect because nearly half of these high school students said they heard iGEM and synthetic biology from the internet. We all think wiki is really a good platform to popularize synthetic biology and communicate with other iGEMers. What’s more, publishing more books relating to synthetic biology and iGEM is also a good conduit to let synthetic biology and iGEM known by other people, especially the young. <br/> <br/>
 
-
  On the other hand, teacher and parents seem to have difficulties in accepting a new technology in China or in the whole world so that students can’t learn some interesting and impressive new science and technologies from adults. It’s very common in China but we, as a new generation, should try our best to realize the rapid changing of our society.<br/> <br/>
 
-
Future plans<br/> <br/>
 
-
Finally we drew some conclusion to improve our survey next time. In order to obtain results that are more valid we should launch a more widely circulated survey. In addition, perhaps more copies can be distributed at random to the general public. On the other hand, it’s really important to make an effective and smart questionnaire to get a more cogent result. Maybe we can make two kinds of questionnaire to hand out before and after the lecture to compare to get a better conclusion. <br/> <br/>

Furong Tunnel can be said to be the most attractive scenery of Xiamen University, visited by more than 30,000 people per day statistically. We made this work in consideration of its attractiveness, which can greatly help us to popularize not only synthetic biology and iGEM but also our team. In fact, many students witnessed the fresco, maybe called doodles more appropriately, made by iGEMers from Xiamen University. Some of them took photos and asked us about iGEM. It improved a good interaction between our team and these students and tourists to popularize iGEM competition and synthetic biology.

When cells reached
 +
an optical density (OD<sub>600 nm</sub>) of 0.1 (for about 2 hr or
 +
longer), 12 ml cells were spun down and resuspended in 1.2 ml of fresh media and loaded

into the device.

<p>Filter 20 ml LB through 0.20 mm filter, and then add 0.075% Tween 20 (15 μl) to it. This step prevents the cells from sticking to chip walls without any noticeable harm to the cells. Depending on your experiment, make sure to add antibiotics to the media.
-
    <div class="clear"></div>

So take the chip, your bacteria and your LB together to the florescent microscope.

We collaborated with Purdue iGEM team to create a definitive characterization standard for the parts registry. All the teams participated required to fill out a survey which about the important items in the registry page. Purdue iGEM team worked out a standard protocol which contains all of the details. The other teams need to complete it better or put forward some questions and problems. To make this work easy, we had a video meeting with the Purdue iGEM team and USP Brazil team though the GOOGLE HANGOUTS. It really helped us to exchange the opinions just like face to face.<br/><br/>  
+

As we know, the members of this collaboration are currently over 50 teams so that it is the biggest collaboration in the iGEM history. We feel awesome about what we did!<br/>

Carefully insert the pipes into two

ports: media and cell, and set syringes steady on the pumps.

Set the flow rate of the left pump
 +
(LB) to >0.115 ml/hr to wet
 +
the chip until there is no bubble can be seen on the chip <i>(At
 +
20×magnification)</i>. Then slow the flow rate of this pump which should
 +
be much slower than that of the right one. Media removal from the surface of
 +
the chip at the cell port can be best accomplished using a kimwipe.
 +
</p>
 +
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-left:18.0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18.0pt;">
 +
6.
 +
Set the flow rate of the right pump
 +
(Cells) to 10~20 μl/hr to let cells fill in trapping region on the chip. When
 +
the cell density has reached a proper number, media flow should be 11.5~115
 +
μl/hr and the right pump should be stopped.
 +
</p>
 +
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-left:18.0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18.0pt;">
 +
7.
 +
Allow the cells to grow in the traps
 +
for 3-5 doublings, depending on the living condition and cell types this should
 +
take 1-2 h.

Set up the microscope software for
 +
manual image acquisition. Turn on the laser power and adjust the light to <i>Blue</i>. Choose an appropriate field
 +
with suitable cell density without any dirt or other disturb and keep capture

<p>On April 5th, 2013, Haoqian Zhang, advisors of Peking University iGEM team, a famous iGEMer who is keeping on develop synthetic biology and iGEM in China, come to XIAMEN University in purpose of strengthening collaborations our two universities. During his visiting, Mr. Zhang took part in discussions between our two teams, XMU_ Software and XMU-China2013 and gave some good advice focusing on the feasibility,security,advantages and disadvantages of ideas raised by our team members. His words about teamwork was very impressive and educational. Finally, Mr. Zhang simply showed some interesting projects in the past as well as encouraged us all to try our best to perform this year's iGEM projects, which greatly encouraged us.<br/><br/>

In the summer vacation, we drew a doodle about 2013 iGEM in Furong tunnel in the camp with the member of software team of our university. This tunnel is not only a main stem but also a famous scenic spots, so that more than 30,000 people per day will pass by and look our doodle. In addition, the doodle is a quite novel approach to introduce synthetic biology and we believe that no team did it before.<br/> <br/>

We also held a garden party with software team where introduced iGEM and synthetic biology to 200 students of senior high school from the whole Fujian Province. Go to page…to see more<br/> <br/>

We’ve also had a really good communication with the iGEM team of Peking University. From August 11th to August 19th ,one of our team members went to Peking University to get a deep cooperation with them. Firstly we introduced our own project in this year and exchanged the opinions .They gave us some good suggestions in experiments and models. What’s more, they gave us one BioBrick of sfGFP (BBa_...), which gave a great help to our structure. This sfGFP allowed our circuit to generated a brighter fluorescence and made easier to obverse in the microfluidics.<br/>

    2.2 Fusion PCR

    Every biobrick has four sites: EcoR I, Xba I, Spe I and Pst I. When two parts were ligated after digestion by Xba I and Spe I, an 8 bp-size fragment (TACTAGAG) will appear between two parts. If we want to add a fragment in the end of a CDS, for example a fast-degradation tag LVA, the additional 8 bp-size fragment will affect the expression of the CDS. Fusion PCR will resolve this problem. Firstly, two pair primers are designed: F1 and R1 for gene A, F2 and R2 for gene B. The 5'-end of R1 and F2 have about 21-bp homologous region. Secondly, gene A and gene B are amplified via PCR independently. Thirdly, the purified gene A and gene B are fused together via PCR with F1 and R2.

    Re-suspend each pellet on ice in 200 μL 0.1 M ice cold CaCl2-MgCl2 solution

    5.2 Chemical Competent Cell Preparation (E.coli with plasmid(s))

    When you prepare the competent cell of E.coli with plasmid(s), you need add half-concentration of appropriate antibiotic(s) in LB.

    5.3 General Transformation

    Add 1 μL plasmid or 10 μL ligation system into 100 μL fresh chemical competent cells and mix gently. Leave on ice for 30 minutes.

    Heat shock tubes in 42oC water bath for 90 seconds, then place them on ice for 10 minutes immediately.

    Incubate for 1~2 hr with 200 rpm shaking at 37°C. When the antibiotic of vector is ampicillin, the time of incubate is 1 hr.

    Add 600 μL fresh LB medium into each tube.

    Spread 100 μL on an LB solid medium plate containing the appropriate antibiotics and incubate overnight at 37°C

    Two or three plasmids Transformation

    Usually we just transform one plasmid into host cell, but sometimes we need transform two or three plasmids. Plasmid compatibility is considerable. Generally different replication origin means they are compatibility. We transform plasmids one by one from the low copy number to high copy number.

    3. Microfluidic Protocol

    Sterilization of microfluidic chips Pre-procession of DH5α

    1. Briefly, 200 μl of an overnight culture was diluted in 20 ml of LB medium plus antibiotics the day of the experiment.

    (Cm, 10 μl; tet, 25 μl for two plasmids gfp+aiiA and three plasmids gfp+aiiA+ndh)

    2. When cells reached an optical density (OD600 nm) of 0.1 (for about 2 hr or longer), 12 ml cells were spun down and resuspended in 1.2 ml of fresh media and loaded into the device.


    Pre-procession of LB

    Filter 20 ml LB through 0.20 mm filter, and then add 0.075% Tween 20 (15 μl) to it. This step prevents the cells from sticking to chip walls without any noticeable harm to the cells. Depending on your experiment, make sure to add antibiotics to the media. So take the chip, your bacteria and your LB together to the florescent microscope.

    Wetting the chip & Capturing images

    1. Place the chip under microscope at 4×magnification and carefully examine the chip for dirt and collapsed channels. If the chip looks good proceed to wetting.

    2. Wash syringe with 75% ethanol, MQ and LB in proper sequence, and repeat each cleaning for three times

    3. Attach the plastic pipe about 15 to 20 cm in length to both syringes, and then fill one syringe with fresh LB, while the other one is filled with cells. Make sure there are no bubbles in the syringe or the pipe. Bubbles can be removed by flicking the syringe or the pipe with your finger.

    4. Carefully insert the pipes into two ports: media and cell, and set syringes steady on the pumps.

    5. Set the flow rate of the left pump (LB) to >0.115 ml/hr to wet the chip until there is no bubble can be seen on the chip (At 20×magnification). Then slow the flow rate of this pump which should be much slower than that of the right one. Media removal from the surface of the chip at the cell port can be best accomplished using a kimwipe.

    6. Set the flow rate of the right pump (Cells) to 10~20 μl/hr to let cells fill in trapping region on the chip. When the cell density has reached a proper number, media flow should be 11.5~115 μl/hr and the right pump should be stopped.

    7. Allow the cells to grow in the traps for 3-5 doublings, depending on the living condition and cell types this should take 1-2 h.

    8. Set up the microscope software for manual image acquisition. Turn on the laser power and adjust the light to Blue. Choose an appropriate field with suitable cell density without any dirt or other disturb and keep capture an image every 5 minutes. 

    Before the image taking, make sure you focus the right layer.

    When the timer is beeping, make sure you press the button twice, or you can use the time on computer or your cell phone to record the time.
