Team:Tec-Monterrey/Geomicrobiology

iGEM 2016 - Tec de Monterrey


Counseling with the Geomicrobiology Laboratory of the UASLP.


Initially we had some trouble obtaining A. ferrooxidans for use in the lab, however, we were lucky enough to contact Dr. Viridiana García from the University of San Luis Potosí, who gently agreed to help us teaching how to grow another sp. of Acidithiobacillus: Acidithiobacillus Thiooxidans. She was well aware of the consequences of e-waste in our environment and she wanted to help our team that is trying to solve a big problematic in our country.
