<p>Registry DNA was rehydrated for completion of the Interlab Study. Also, Part BBa_K934001 (phaC1-A-B1) was rehydrated by the Secretion subgroup and transformed into our chassis so that P(3HB) was produced and preliminary secretion assays could be performed before the Synthesis subgroup had completed their cloning.</p>
