With similar objectives on our projects, we are honoured to be able to collaborate with team SZTA_Szeged_HU. Their project aims to detect Microcystin toxin in waters using bioindicators.

Here are some areas we collaborated on:

1. Providing us with their plasmid

Team SZTA_Szeged_HU has designed 2 plasmids for the detection of Microcystin toxin. Since our project aims to remove Microcystin, they provided us with their plasmids, so that we can conduct further detailed downstream analysis. In return, we will be giving them our experimental data.

Fig2. Showing the correct band sizes of the plasmids provided by SZTA_Szeged_HU. The expected band size is around 3800bp. (Circular plasmid DNA often shows smaller band size than expected)

2. Survey

We helped them collect data for their surveys. These surveys include interviewing fishpond owners and researchers about how algal blooms have affected them.
