Collaboration Protocol videos Our team decided to create protocol videos in order to help young scientists in manipulation. During our experiments, we filmed 4 steps of cloning: PCR, digestion, ligation and transformation. We asked other teams to translate protocols in their mother tongue. We obtained protocol videos in English with the Imperial College London team, in Spanish thanks to the TEC-Monterrey team, in Dutch with Leiden team, in Chinese with BIT-China team, in Portuguese thanks to EEL-USP team and in French with the collaboration of the Bordeaux team. We wrote the entire script and we added some guidance in red (minutes for each paragraphs for instance). Teams had to translate and record the script. Now, we possess a lot of protocols explained in six different languages, accessible to everybody on Youtube and on our wiki. Growth study of B. subtilis and P. fluorescens In exchange for recording the script in English, we studied the optimal growth of Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas fluorescens for the Imperial London College team. First, we did an experimental plan to observe if pH is in interaction with temperature. Finally, the conclusion was that pH and temperature were two independent parameters. We ran the experiments again, changing only one parameter. Results Optimum temperatures and pH and the doubling times are summarized in the table for our two strains. 3D conception Bordeaux Receipt of plasmids We want to thank the 2012 Munich team for sending us 4 different shuttle plasmids. One of these, pBs0k-p, was very useful because we used it for cloning in E.coli and Bacillus subtilis. Mailing of kit 2016 Evry team asked us to send a Ludox solution that was in our iGEM Kit. They stored their own solution at -20°C so it was not usable anymore. But it was important for them to participate to the InterLab project so we helped them. Protocol translation 2016 METU HS Ankara team wanted to create a database, which consists of different language protocols. They asked us to translate their protocol in French. Surveys We filled in different surveys all along the year. Among them, surveys for: - Bdx - IONIS - Evry - Valencia - TecCEM Collegiate - Purdue - UBGM
