Hailing from different backgrounds, the unique capabilities of each of our team members laid a strong foundation for our team to carry out most of the tasks ourselves. We conceived the idea, communicating it to our promotor, supervisior and the other advisors for their valuable feedbacks, and then proceeded with the experiments on our own with trainings from our advisors as and when it was required.
The implication of the saying 'Rome was not built in a day' can be applicable to our project as well, in such a manner that a project like this takes time and effort not only from one person but as a group. We are happy that together as a team we were able to design our wiki and also to make the scientific illustrations of our project by ourselves, without the need for any commercial assistance.
We extend our gratitude to our sponsors for granting us the required laboratory materials, equipments and above all for their financial support throughout the course of our project.
On this page, we would like to thank everyone who contributed to our project.
Wet Lab
Prof. Hideaki Mizuno
Prof. Mizuno shared his knowledge on fluorescent proteins and visualization with us. Thanks a lot!
Vincent Gielen and Sam Duwé
Vincent Gielen and Sam Duwé from Prof. Hofkens' group generously provided us with fluorescein, to generate a standard curve for the interlab measurements.
Centre of Microbial and Plant Genetics (CMPG)
We would like to thank the CMPG lab for their help. Prof. Jan Michiels and Valerie Defraine gave us advice with respect to the AHL detection. Prof. Christine Peeters and Stefanie Roberfroid provided us with the Chromobacterium violaceum (CV026). We also kindly received three knock-outs: Δtar, ΔcheZ and Δtsr from Natalie Verstraeten.
Thanks to Prof. Jos Desair and Ami De Weerdt, we were able to do our leucine detection assay using their microplate reader.
Matthijs Cottignie
Our gratitude goes to Matthijs Cottignie for loaning his self-made device to make pictures every five minutes to visualise the motility of our cells, which made it possible to make a time-lapse video.
Dry Lab
Prof. Dirk Roose
Prof. Roose from the Department of Computer Science gave us some advice on coding and math.
Tim Odenthal
We would like to thank Prof. Herman Ramon and Tim Odenthal for their opinion and suggestions on the hybrid model.
