Principle Investigators
Jun.-Prof. Dr. Björn Voß
We want to
thank Prof. Voß for being our second Principle Investigator.
Thanks for helping us with every problem anytime we came to
you and especially for your valuable input regarding RNA
Quantification.
Instructors
Martin Ziegler
Martin, we don't know
where to start. Thank you for your all your commitment
throughout the iGEM period! Thanks for staying late, always
being positiv and encouraging us after setbacks. Especially
the last days before the Wikifreeze wouldn't have been
possible without you! We are looking forward to all the fun
we'll have in Boston!
Erik Eppinger
Well, and Erik, same for
you! Thank you so much! Thanks for helping out and giving
advice anytime it was needed. We are very grateful to have you
as an instructor! We loved to have you with us in Boston.
Other wonderful people who helped us
Prof. Dr. Arnd Heyer
We would like to
thank Prof. Heyer for providing his HPLC system, which enabled
us to determine the sugar composition of our algae medium.
Prof. Dr. Jörn Lausen
Many thanks to
Prof. Lausen for providing materials and chemicals and
donating lab equipment.
Prof. Dr. Ralf Takors
We want to thank
Prof. Takors for his expertise and advice prior to the
construction of the reactor and for providing the glass column
that forms the core of the photobioreactor.
Dr. Josef Altenbuchner
Dr. Altenbuchner,
thank you for sharing your knowledge regarding work with
Vibrio natriegens and the use of two-plasmid systems.
Dr. Bettina Nestl
We want to thank Dr.
Nestl for providing us the strain E. coli Rosetta.
Dr. Natalie Trachtmann
Many thanks to
Dr. Trachtmann for providing us qPCR equipment and for all the
help establishing our method.
Dr. Michael Schweikert
We would like to thank Dr Michael Schweikert for the helpful input. He has not only
given us helpful information to start our own cultivation of C. vulgaris in a small
bioreactor scale but also provided the contact to Prof. Dr. Ingrid Weiss which was
indispensable for the later algae extraction.
Dr. Norbert Tröndle
Dr. Norbert Tröndle,
we would like to thank you for your material support and the
many suggestions in the area of our measurement, which have
significantly contributed to the fact that we have been able
to optimize our protocols.
Adrian Eilingsfeld
Thank you, Adrian,
for helping us to construct the initial 10 liter
photobioreactor and providing assistance with the 99€
bioreactor. (And for being our Instructor when everybody else
was asleep). Tetraeder 🐱
Christopher Sarkizi Shams Hajian
We
would like to thank Chris for the modelling of our
photobioreactor and giving us an introduction in CFD.
Maria Aniolek
Thank you, Maria, for
helping us to set up the HPLC for amino acid analysis.
Gabriele Kepp (Technical assistant)
Thanks a lot, Gabi, for helping us to develop the qPCR
protocol and the last-minute support with restriction enzymes.
Andreas Freund
Andreas, we are very
greatful for your help, advice and ideas regarding designing
and building the photobioreactor.
Jan Müller
Thank you, Jan, for the
supply of an established, sophisticated and experimentally
validated model of bacterial protein expression. For detailed
information see https://doi.org/10.1021/acssynbio.7b00117
René Inckemann
Many thanks to René
Inckemann for the expertise with Vibrio natriegens and for the
