cdg-gacA

RBS-cdg-RBS-gacA is composed of cdg gene (BBa_K4192010), gacA gene (BBa_4192011) and strong RBS sequence of Pseudomonas fluorescens. (BBa_K4192000). cdg and gacA encode regulatory factors DGC and GacA in Pseudomonas fluorescens, which can ncrease the expression of extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) and then increase the production of biofilm.

Characterization

This part has been connected to the downstream of Plac (BBa_R0010) and transferred into E. coli and Pseudomonas fluorescens 2P24 for testing.

The data are shown in the figure below:

Through, Levene's test of equality of error vDariances, p<0.05, it is proved that the experimental results of different recombinant bacteria have significant differences.

Through Duncan’s multiple range test, there is little difference between wild type and cdg recombinant bacteria, and there was also little difference between cdg and gacA groups. The biofilm production of cdg+gacA recombinant bacteria is significantly higher than that of the other two groups. This shows that the co-expression effect of cdg and gacA genes is better than that of the two genes alone. The analysis shows that both cdg and gacA genes can increase the concentration of c-di-GMP in bacteria, co-expression can make the concentration of c-di-GMP exceed the threshold and regulate the production of a large number of biofilms.

We can draw a conclusion that increasing the copy number of cdg and gacA at the same time can significantly increase the production of biofilm. Related parallel experiments further verify our conclusion. However, the effect of separate expression of two genes still needs to be determined by further experiments.
