RBS-pflB-RBS-fdh
It encodes pyruvate formate-lyase and formate dehydrogenase cytochrome b.
Usage and biology
pflB helps to transform pyruvate into Acetyl-CoA and fdh helps to transform formate into CO2. With the overexpression of pflB-fdh, Shewanella could produce NADH more efficiently, which brings more electricity to be produced.
Characterization
This is one section contained two genes for NADH production part.
DNA Gel Electrophoretic
To make sure that we get the target gene, we did the DNA gel electrophoretic to separate different gene. And here is the result.
Our target length is 9314bp, and as the marker is marker4, we could be sure that the bright band in this picture is our target gene.
Real-Time Quantitative PCR
To demonstrate that pflB-fdh could be overexpressed by engineered Shewanella, we did Real-Time Quantitative PCR.
There was no signal in bacteria which contained pYYDT so we chose pYYDT-pflB-fdh as standard quantity.
Electrogenesis
By comparing the ability of producing electricity, we might find out whether pflB-fdh could effectively help Shewanella to produce more electricity.
It could be demonstrated that targeted gene could be expressed in the engineered cells. More NADH has been produced by engineered bacteria, which helps to produce more electricty.
