HxlR+P-formaldehyde

A right promoter which can sense formaldehyde.There is a left promoter which can erpress the HxlR protein.The HxlR protein can enhance the function of the P-formaldehyde.


Usage and Biology

A gfp reporter gene was added downstream so that we can know whether the P-formaldehyde works or not in the presence of formaldehyde by detecting the relative fluorescence intensity.

Figure3 A GFP is added downstream of the formaldehyde promoter.jpg

Figure 1 A GFP reporter is added downstream of the formaldehyde promoter.

We incubated E.coli strain DH5a with the above plasmid (P-formaldehyde plus GFP)and stimulated the experimental group with 1mM formaldehyde when the OD600 value reached approximately one, which means E.coli comes into mid-log phase. And then we collected bacteria at certain time to measure the fluorescence and the absorbance.

From the Figure 2, we can see significant increase in relative fluorescence intensity after formaldehyde stimulation, which shows that our coloration system works well.

The Growth Condition curve in Figure 3 shows that the difference of the fluorescence/absorbance is not generated by the absorbance difference.

The effect of formaldehyde to the cells growth


Formaldehyde is toxic to the cells as we know, inhibiting cells growth if it is added early to the culture medium. In order to know at which OD600 the formaldehyde should be added into the culture medium, we added the 0.5mM formaldehyde to cells at different original OD600, then we collected different group bacteria at certain time to measure cells’ DO600 absorbance (Figure 4). The result showed that the toxic effect of formaldehyde on the cells growth was decreased with the cells original OD600 increased.


The sensitivity of the promoter to formaldehyde


Different concentration of formaldehyde has different ability to induce expression. In order to find the best concentration of formaldehyde to induce this promoter, we measured the sensitivity of the promoter to formaldehyde using BL21 as chassis. We cultured E.coli BL21 transformed with the plasmid (P-formaldehyde plus GFP)and added different concentration formaldehyde to different groups at OD600 = 1. Then we collected different group bacteria at certain time to measure the fluorescence and the absorbance (Figure 5). The result showed that 0.8 mM formaldehyde is the best concentration for inducing GFP expression.
