First attempt of making protoplasts of A. niger. This sadly failed. We talked to some professors who gave us advice on what to improve on the protocol. Furthermore, the first four fragments that will make up the initial integration plasmid were PCR amplified.

-
Team Overview
We talked to Peter Richard from the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland. He gave us excellent feedback on our project - we will definitely take this into consideration!
-
Wetlab
The second attempt of making protoplasts of A. niger, this time with an improved protocol. This time, the attempt succeeded and we successfully made protoplasts and transformants!
Transformants of A. niger. Two different protocols for transforming the cells were followed. On the top is a simple protocol and on the bottom is a more complex one. The left side shows negative control while the right side shows positive control. It seems like the simple protocol is at least as good if not better than the regular one so we will use this in the future!
