E. bsuahlscout-QS-bsuahlteminator
Our E. bsuahlscout bio-brick contains 3 key elements including LuxR, QS promoter, and mCherry. LUXR is a protein coded by LuxR gene. The LuxR gene is regulated by T7 promoter, Lac operator and T7 terminator. The LUXR protein can combine the AHL to formate a LUXR-AHL complex which can bind to the QS promoter and recruit RNA polymerase to start the down-stream gene expression. QS promoter is a DNA element to react with LUXR-AHL complex. The mCherry gene is down-stream report gene of QS promoter and codes a red fluorescence protein.
Our E. bsuahlterminator bio-brick contains 2 key elements including pvdq and eGFP. PVDQ is a protein coded by pvdq gene. The pvdq gene is regulated by T7 promoter, Lac operator and T7 terminator. The PVDQ protein can catalyze the deacylation of acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL) which can prevent the activation of LUXR by eliminating the AHL in the environment. In order to increase the stability and show the production quality in a real time manner. We use a protein linker and 3x HA tag to link the PVDQ protein with eGFP. We also use 3xHis tag at the c-terminal of eGFP to increase the efficiency to purify the recombination proteins. Our results shows the great stability in solutions and almost no aggregation happens after elusion.
Using QS promoter to start the E. bsuahlterminator bio-brick, we are able to detecting the AHL in the environment and do the clearance at the same time.

2. Detect red fluorescent protein production by induced detection type part1 bacteria
Experimental purpose: Draw a standard curve with different concentrations of the configured standard AHL
Experimental equipment: microplate reader, fluorescence microscope
Experimental process:
(1) Inoculate the part1 bacterial solution of the bacterium to 200ml LB medium containing 100μg/ml ampicillin (200ml LB liquid culture Add 400μl 50mg/ml ampicillin stock solution to the base, and incubate overnight at 32°C on a shaker.
(2) After pre-cooling the bacterial solution at 18°C for 20-30 minutes, add isopropyl thiogalactoside (IPTG) with a final concentration of 200μM. Induce at 25°C for 6h (add 80μl 0.5mM IPTG stock to 200ml bacterial solution).
(3) Take out 11 tubes of 200ml bacterial solution, separate 15ml of each tube, 6000xg, 10min, remove the supernatant.
(4) Use 500 ul of 10 LB medium with different concentrations of AHL to suspend the bacteria in each tube (pay attention to mark), the 11th tube is only used Resuspend the bacteria in 500ul LB medium (as a control) [First prepare 1mg/ml AHL solution, weigh 1mg AHL powder and dissolve it to 1ml In LB medium, a 1:1 gradient dilution method was used to obtain a total of 10 LB mediums with different AHL concentrations]
(5) Continue to incubate at 32°C for 5 hours (slightly loosen the cap of the separation tube), proceed to separation, 6000xg, 10 minutes, and remove the supernatant.
(6) Each tube of bacteria was resuspended with 300ul miliQ water and added to 3 wells, 100ul was added to one well, a total of 33 wells (record each well the location of the inoculum).
(7) Use a microplate reader to detect (red fluorescent protein uses 562nm detection wave), after the detection is completed, export the data and save it.
(8) Temporary glass was made with the part1 bacterial liquid of the process bacteria, and the fluorescent microscope was used to observe and take photos.
