Modelling

 * Simulations almost completed - will be put on the wiki during the weekend
 * Compared the modelled graph of pLux construct with the one got by experiment - have the same general shape but no peek in the model
 * ID construct - problem with the constitutive promoter - need more data

Vesicles

 * Have small vesicles with GFP - have more in quantity than before but not entirely sure if they are actually vessicles
 * Need to decide whether to concentrate on gene expression or proof of concept - need more people in the vesicles team

Lab team

 * Finished makig the reaction mixture

Protocols

 * Tested homemade cell extract with the reaction buffer - doean't work
 * LuxR construct - works quite well in-vitro
 * Will test comercial cell extract with the homemade reaction buffer

Meeting with Prof. Kitney

 * Make presentations - make them see the big picture
 * Need to confirm length of meeting
 * Presentation teams:
 * Veso - Dirk, Alex
 * CBD - Alex, PPX, Ant, Lucas
 * ID - Ben, Jerry, Maira, James
