COLLABORATIONS

Imperial College


We assisted by providing Imperial iGEM with growth data from Chlamydomonas, for their computer model A.L.I.C.E. This computer model is aimed at producing a platform with the growth conditions for various different species, and ultimately for identifying possible co-cultures. Find out more here

We hope that the data we provide is especially useful for Imperial iGEM, as chlamydomonas takes significantly longer to grow that bacterial species.

The image shows a 96 well plate, with various concentration and 2 levels of 'happiness' of the same algae culture. We took 2 OD750 absorption readings a day in order to provide data for growth analysis by A.L.I.C.E

Linköping University

The collaborations with Linköping University has been very helpful for both parties as we exchanged weekly reports through emails and Skype meetings. In depth discussions on the chasis we were working on, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, were carried out. In addition, we exchanged views on Gibson assembly and other higher level assembly methods' protocols to help each other make an informed decision on the best approach for our project.
