Design Notes

It is the final composite biobrick of our project, we overexpress anti-acid gene msmK and anti-cold gene cspD2 via the NICE system.

Usage and biology

The gene cspD2 was ligated to the Pnz8149/msmK plasmid by one-step cloning (seamless ligation), and the recombinant plasmid was introduced into the constructed L. lactis NZ3900/pNZ8149-msmk-cspD2 strain using electroporation.

The gfp gene was inserted as a marker gene, and cell viability was characterized by fluorescence intensity. The strain was tested for acid resistance and freezing resistance using a flow cytometer. The process of acid stress and cold stress is similar with the above demonstration process.

Acid stress

Deal with the samples under pH 4.0 with nisin as an inducer.

After 4 consecutive repeated freeze-thaw tests, the recombinant strain was 47.5 times more viable than the control strain, indicating the antifreeze survival rate of the strain with increased overexpression of msmK-cspD2.
