Welcome to the Wet-Lab GitHub page for iGEM 2021 Bettencourt team! You will find there all the relevant informations and links related to the experimental design and procedures of this project from ideas brainstorming to experimental setups and protocols.
Detection of mini cells (flow cytometry, electron microscopy or DIC microscopy) 🥰
Determination of the isolated mini cells characteristics (purification)
Making sure mini cells can't divide (fluorescence microscopy in different periods of time)
Separating mini cells from parental cells (ratio of mini cells to normal cells before and after purification; HPLC of mini cells(?)) 🤔
Leakiness of mini cells (?) ðŸ’
Ask donation of E. coli strain TB43 to be used as a positive control on mini cell characterization assays 💯
Team iGEM Marburg 2018 has designed a sRNA-anti-MinC that may be useful for us to compare the ratio of mini cells production to our own design and use as a proof of concept of improvement of mini cell production
We have a Zotero group with all references, if you want to be added, please leave your e-mail below (or react to this comment). 😄
In this issue, the members of team C (we can come up with a cooler name :)) will add their research, ideas...
