An overview of photosystem 2, the chlorophyll biosynthesis pathway, and the hydrogen production was given by our advisors. The areas which needed work were discussed.
We started planning for creation of combined plasmid for hydrogen production by combining; Ferredoxin/Ferredoxin Reductase with the Hyd1 biobricks.
Discussion on human outreach was started.
Began talking to the SDU iGEM team on collaboration
Discussed the creation of an iGEM Macquarie game
Started planning for attending synthetic biology conference and ACUR (Adelaide).
Week 2
Dry Lab
India suggested the idea of a creating a game as her brother could help us out with that.
We got in contact with Joanne Jamie, an academic at Macquarie University, to gain more information about National Science Week and the university’s Orientation Day for our outreach possibilities.
She invited us to help out in the Chifley School Program (19th September) which we agreed would be better than the other two. We have a 1 hour time slot in which we can conduct wet and dry lab activities with gifted and talented high school science students.
The team was approached by Nebraska to fill out their survey
