Plac-ΔperR

The upper and lower homology arms (HR-UP, HR-DOWN) were constructed at about 500 bp upstream and downstream of the PerR sequence of the Clostridium tyrobutyricum genome, plus a lactose-inducing promoter and a spacer sequence derived from the PerR , generating the CRISPR array .Then inserted it into the pMTL82151 plasmid, the successful plasmid is transformed into E. coli CA434, and introduced into Clostridium tyrobutyricum, by lactose induction to make the spacer hit the perR sequence on the target genome, thereby utilizing the endogenous CRISPR-Cas system knocks the perR out , eliminates the impediment effect of perR on the growth of Clostridium butyrate, thereby achieving aerobic growth of Clostridium tyrobutyricum.

Result

As can be seen from the sequencing results, the perR fragment has been knocked out.

At different rotational speeds, the growth of the plasmid knockout strain was better than that of the control strain

Fig4- Physiological characteristics of Ct (ΔperR) and Ct (Control) in the presence of oxygen. (A) The intracellular ROS levels in Ct (ΔperR) and Ct (Control) in the presence of oxygen. ROS levels were measured in the logarithmic prophase. (B) The ratio of NADH/ NAD+ in Ct (ΔperR) and Ct (Control) in the presence of oxygen. Phase I, II and III refer to the early-, mid- and late- logarithmic phase, respectively.
