Origin(organism)

Galleria mellonella

Ceres trial expression

This is an enzyme that degrades polyethylene,belonging to the polyphenol oxidase group. It can realize the oxidation of C-C bond at room temperature, so as to promote its fracture. At present, although many microorganisms have been found to be able to use polyethylene as a carbon source, no other enzymes have been found that can degrade polyethylene.

  • 1. We first constructed wild-type Ceres with XhoⅠ and NdeⅠ endonucleases. The plasmid is synthesized by the company and then returned.(Figure 1)

  • 2. Design the IPTG concentration gradient

In order to find the most suitable temperature for protein secretion and IPTG content, we designed eight different experimental groups, and added an IPTG-free control group for the experiment.(Figure 2)

  • 3. Expression in BL21 Escherichia coli

a. We express wild Ceres protein in BL21 E. coli and culture in a 50 mL system to obtain sufficient protein.
b. Use an ultrasonic sterilizer to break the bacteria and release the protein. As can be seen from the figure 3, the C3 control group produced the most protein, whose incubated temperature is 37 ℃, and the induced temperature is 16℃ with 3mM IPTG.

Figure 3. From the SDS-page, it can be seen that the C3 experimental group secretes the most protein

So we finally decided to use the concentration and induction temperature set by C3 to culture the 900ml large system of later mutations in order to obtain more protein.
