We created the <i>ptpA</i> knockout mutant and complementation strain to verify its function in the formation and conductivity of <i>S. oneidensis</i> MR-1 biofilm. The growth curves of wild-type(WT), ∆<i>ptpA</i> and the complementation strain showed that the <i>ptpA</i> deletion does not affect cell growth (Figure 1A). Our results show that the ability of the mutant strain to form biofilm on both conductive (well plate) and non-conductive (anode) surfaces significantly reduced, whereas the complementation strain restored this capability (Figure 1B and D). In microbial fuel cells (MFCs), maximum voltage of the mutant strain with the lower internal resistance raised about 36% compared to the wild type (Figure 1C and E). In summary, we come to the conclusion that <i>ptpA</i> gene in <i>S. oneidensis</i> MR-1 may possibly effect the biofilm formation and its conductivity by meditating the polysaccharide biosynthesis.

ptpA

This part encodes a tyrosine phosphatase involved in the biosynthesis of extracellular polysaccharide in Shewanella oneidensis MR-1. Unconductive polysaccharide in S. oneidensis MR-1biofilm matrix attenuate the efficiency of extracellular electron transfer. We knocked out ptpA from S. oneidensis MR-1 genome to enhance its ability to generate electricity.

Functional Parameters

We created the ptpA knockout mutant and complementation strain to verify its function in the formation and conductivity of S. oneidensis MR-1 biofilm. The growth curves of wild-type(WT), ∆ptpA and the complementation strain showed that the ptpA deletion does not affect cell growth (Figure 1A). Our results show that the ability of the mutant strain to form biofilm on both conductive (well plate) and non-conductive (anode) surfaces significantly reduced, whereas the complementation strain restored this capability (Figure 1B and D). In microbial fuel cells (MFCs), maximum voltage of the mutant strain with the lower internal resistance raised about 36% compared to the wild type (Figure 1C and E). In summary, we come to the conclusion that ptpA gene in S. oneidensis MR-1 may possibly effect the biofilm formation and its conductivity by meditating the polysaccharide biosynthesis.

The electricity generation (C) and internal resistance (E) of WT, ∆ptpA and the complementation strain.

Moreover, with the thinner biofilm and lower resistance of the MFC, we can use this engineered strain to detect environmental pollution. In our experiment, we noticed that the mutant strain is more sensitive to arsenic than WT in the MFC, increasing the detection range of arsenic (Figure 2).
