===Abstract===
 
-
 
-
 
-
Our aim is to shape the bacteria to fit different molds using the microfluidics system, model the biophysical characteristics of bacterial cell membrane, and see what happens when we switch the cell wall synthesis back on.

====Morning====
 
-
We started a discussion of our sub-project, doing some research into project presentation: wiki layout, t-shirt design and possible team logos. We looked at precedents for inspirational ideas.[[File:P1050457.JPG|frameless|left|text-top|"600x400"]],[[File:P1050459.JPG|frameless|left|text-top|"600x400"]]

Learn about Computational Modelling and BioBrick concepts. Decided to start with biophysical modelling of the lipid membrane of ''Bacillus Subtilis'' and modelling of lipid synthetic pathway. Later in the day, we had a team meeting to discuss aims and progress of our work.

Modelling Exercise. Identifying components and species of subtilin biosynthesis pathway. We also sketched down some potential logo ideas and created a shortlist of favorites.

-
In the afternoon we learned about the differences and similarities between stochastic and deterministic modeling. We also used rule based modeling such as RuleBender and BioNetGen. We changed the parameters and rates of reaction and observed the effects.

====Morning====
 
-
we continued learning about stochastic and deterministic modeling and we looked at converting the rate parameters in RuleBender. We continued working on the logo.
