          Design: In podocarp research, the 2023 XJTU-iGEM team has used pgmA and galU gene overexpression to enable an increase in extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) production, based on which we additionally introduced overexpression of KpsE, KpsT, and FliC genes, which are capable of increasing the rate of podocarp polysaccharide translocation from intracellular to extracellular, thus optimizing our podocarp level of Defense.

Construct: The expression vector pACYCDuet-1-KpsE-KpsT was constructed, and the constructed plasmid and its empty vector were introduced into Nissle 1917 (DE3), respectively.    

          Lane M: DNA Marker Lane 1: Plasmid digested by EcoRV and XhoI Lane 2: Uncut plasmid DNA Test: We carried out bacterial pod polysaccharide extraction on the above modified bacteria and measured the content of the extracted polysaccharide, using the empty vector-imported bacteria as the control, as shown in Fig. 1, our constructed KpsE-KpsT genetically engineered bacterium showed a significant increase in pod production compared with the empty vector-imported bacterium.    

          Study: As mentioned above, KpsE and KpsT genes can effectively increase pod yield, in the future, we will introduce pgmA and galU into EcN together with KpsE and KpsT genes, meanwhile, considering the possible influence of expression vectors on the expression of exogenous genes in chassis bacteria, we propose the idea of integrating exogenous genes genetically into EcN genome in order to eliminate the effect of expression vectors on the strain.
