iGEM Week 1

June 20th, 2016

09:00 - 17:00

Josh had his training today and was introduced to lab techniques that the rest of the team had worked on during the previous week. These techniques included fire drills, safety techniques as well as use of the sterile hood.

The team got split into two groups

• Group 1 (Kristina, Ollie and Josh): Made streak plates of all the colonies needed for the Interlab study. These streak plates were left to incubate over the weekend. Alongside colony cultures, liquid cultures were also made.

• Group 1 (Jake, Emilija, Ollie, Kristina, Kerry, Rupert and Lauren): Looked at research papers in order to obtain more scientific data for the experiment. We wrote up the agenda as well as the minutes from the meeting we had. We also planned out the rest of the week and began a plan for the Wiki.
