Collaboration

SHSID & Fujian_United

We host meet-up with a 2021 high school iGEM Team, Feverve Factory, whose team members are from Shanghai High School, International Division. They have been studying the feasibility of enhancing the productivity of putrescine through cell factory engineering.



The core issues we discussed in our meet-up event included two parts:

1) Design of peripheral goods design and pricing strategy. Team Feverve Factory has started their project much earlier than we did, thus, they shared many useful tips with us, especially about their product list and how to decide prices for each product. They suggested that since peripheral goods would be used for fundraising activities, pricing and sales strategies should be considered from clients' psychological perspective. According to their suggestions, we determined our product list, e.g. we have chosen to sell umbrellas during the next rainfall, and we would also offer parasols after the deluge. Meanwhile, the pricing of all peripheral goods was determined.

2) Experiment on Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Since Team Feverve Factory has also used Saccharomyces cerevisiae in their experiments. We also consulted them about useful experience in handling Saccharomyces cerevisiae. They told us that we should have a quite clear experiment timeline when dealing with Saccharomyces cerevisiae because of it usually takes longer time than Escherichia coli. Thanks to their suggestions, we tried to re-organize our experiment timeline.

Collaboration with Alpha-LUCO (Official Team Name:Fujian_United)

Their project focused on optimizing production process of ethanol. They would like to find a way of making ethanol by using a more environmentally friendly method. In detail, they plan to create a yeast that is functional in secreting glucoamylase while fermenting. If their project succeeds, the production process of ethanol will be simplified, more environmental friendly and economical.

What did we collaborate on?

We collaborated with each other via a virtual meet-up. We introduced the research topic to each other. We then asked each other a few questions to have a deep understanding of other’s project. They are really kind and helpful when concerning the issue of using proper scientific words during our presentation. We further delved into the part of hardships we have during experiment. They had a really tight timeline in developing their GMO yeast, the same as we did in the experiment part. We then provided each other with useful suggestions on Wiki documentation, wishing to make progress together.

During this collaboration, we had all realized that we all have certain degree of defects in our Wiki documentation. We need to keep working hard in making our project better.
