<-- back to HLabX Programme

During this trip we brought together our partners for HLabX from Okinawa and Taipei, aswell joining our friends from Lifepatch, Yogyakarta, and their collaborators from OCAC, during their stay in Taiwan. We then went on to Jogja for more intense meetings and getting to know each other, reflecting on earlier collaborative projects with Lifepatch, such as HackteriaLab 2014 - Yogyakarta and share interesting experiments on food, fermentation and more.

Picking up that topic on bacterial cellulose again and stumbled over this Nata de Coco. Finally coconuts!!

Completely forgot that we already got some of those cultures a while ago from our friend Isaac in Chile.,... but left in Take-Space.

Also looking into combining this bacteria (Komagataeibacter xylinus) for some upcoming genetics experiments, discussed in the forum
