To realize the self-healing of cracks in concrete, we need to increase the mineralization capacity of B.subtilis. The Healer in our project is Carbonic anhydrase(CA) , which catalyzes the hydration of CO2 to produce HCO3- and captures free Ca2+ with OH- in the environment to form Calcium carbonate precipitation. The new part TSLV1-CA (BBa_K2232014) expresses and functiones intracellularly. We constructed a shuttle vector to transform this part and the positive clones was confirmed by nucleic acid electrophoresis(Fig.1).
The crude enzyme solution was obtained by cell disruption using ultrasonic, followed by SDS-PAGE protein electrophoresis and Coomassie blue staining(Fig.2).
For determining the activity of CA, hydration of CO2 was measured using electrometric Wilbur–Anderson assay according to Khalifah et al. (1991) with certain modifications. The assay was performed at 4 °C by adding 0.5 mL of the crude enzyme solution (0.5 ml distilled water in blank group) to 10 mL of 30mM PBS (pH 8.0). The reaction was initiated by adding 5.0 mL of ice-cold CO2 saturated water. The time interval for the pH to drop by 1.5 unit (from 8.0 to 6.5) due to protons released during hydration of CO2 was measured. The reactions were performed in triplicates and average of three replicates was used in calculations. We calculated the activity according to the formula U= (T0 –T1)/ T0, where T0 and T1 represent time for pH change of blank group and samples group respectively. The CA activity was shown in Fig.3.
