With Stuttgart

In 2017, our iGEM team worked with chitosan and chitosan-producing or modifying enzymes. This year’s iGEM team from the university of Stuttgart also works with chitosan and asked us for our parts. We were excited to hear of another team seeing the potential of chitosan as an antimicrobial coating.

In agreement with the team members from 2017, we sent them the parts submitted to the parts registry. Stuttgart wanted to add to our project by producing chitosan in one single cell, using our chitin synthase (NodC) and chitin deacetylase (NodB). We were very happy to be able to help them with our parts and also with the knowledge gathered from last year’s experiences. In particular, discussions with experts such as Prof. Dr. Moerschbacher and others helped us to see problems coming up during lab work. We recommended the team to contact him and others. It was a great pleasure to collaborate with you and we hope we could help you with your project.

With Düsseldorf

Meanwhile it has become a pleasure for us over the years to design postcards and send these to Düsseldorf. They collect these from many iGEM teams and send these to all teams designing a postcard. It is always great fun to see how other teams designed their postcards. Thank you, Düsseldorf for spending time organizing the possibility to exchange information about the teams’ projects in a fun and innovative manner. As always it was a pleasure for us!
