Collaborations
Sharing and collaboration are core values of iGEM. We encourage you to reach out and work with other teams on difficult problems that you can more easily solve together.

University of Texas at Austin - Texas Tech S. paucimobilis Plate Experience:
Listed below is a brief write up concluding the experiences of the Texas Tech iGEM team testing a protocol for making gelatin plates to be used for growing bacteria instead of agar plates in collaboration with the UT iGEM team.
Day 1: Upon receiving a streak plate of Sphingamonas Paucimobilis from the UT iGEM team, we incubated the plate at room temperature for two days.
Day 3: After two days of incubation a single colony was picked and used to inoculate 20mL of YM Broth, then incubated for 24 hours at 30 degrees Celsius.
