Design Notes

Our team cloned the capB*CA genes (B* is a mutant of B) We used ePathBrick loop vector pZM1 (Ptac) to modularize B*CA genes and assembled them into the following structure:

We assembled this part into PZM1 plasmid which contains a regulatory gene (lacI) to construct our gene circuit. The gene circuit need to be induced by IPTG to initiate expression of the polymerase genes to synthesize our product L-glutamate-rich γ-PGA. We transferred this gene circuit into our chassis microorganism: Corynebacterium glutamicum for fermentation experiments. And we verified the fermentation products by NMR. The L- glutamate ratio of γ-PGA was measured by HPLC, and the results show that the content of L-glutamic acid in γ-PGA reaches over 90%. We have successfully produced L-glutamate-rich γ-PGA. If you want to know more details and related experiments about this part, we recommend you to visit our experiment page.
