1) Plasmid construction
Using the recombinant plasmid pMTL-Pthl-dps (refer to BBa_K4407010), we amplified and obtained a linearized pMTL-dps vector. Then, using the pMTL-perR-HR-tetR plasmid as template, we obtained the Plac promoter fragment. The Plac promotor fragment and linearized pMTL-dps vector were ligated by the Gibson assembly method. Then, we ran a colony PCR for the transformed bacterial colony (E .coli JM109), inoculated the positive bacterial colonies, and extracted the plasmids, which were then confirmed to be pMTL-Plac-dps by gel electrophoresis and gene sequencing (Figure 2).
2) C. tyrobutyricum conjugated with pMTL-Plac-dps
Using E. coli CA434 as the donor strain, the recombinant plasmid pMTL-Plac-dps was conjugated into C. tyrobutyricum to construct the recombinant bacteria [Ct (Plac-dps) strain], and the empty plasmid pMTL82151 was conjugated into C. tyrobutyricum to construct a control strain, Ct(control). The expression of dps protein in the Ct (Plac-dps) strain was confirmed by SDS-PAGE (Figure 3).
To determine how dps overexpression in C. tyrobutyricum affected the viability of the bacteria under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. We measured the OD600 values to compare the growth of the Ct (Plac-dps) and Ct(control) strains under these two conditions, respectively.
Under anaerobic condition, the maximum biomass (OD600) of the Ct (Plac-dps) strain was similar to that of the Ct(control) strain (9.67 vs 9.18), with overlapping error bars (Figure 4). Therefore, dps expression in the Ct (Plac-dps) strain made no significant difference in the maximum growth rates.
Under aerobic condition (100 rpm), the growth of the Ct(control) strain was affected, with a longer lag phase (Figure 5). Moreover, although there was no significant difference between the maximum biomasses of the two strains, the growth rate of the Ct (Plac-dps) strain was greater than the control strain. Therefore, overexpressing dps protein could improve the growth of C. tyrobutyricum under aerobic conditions.
