To verify the function of this composite part, we transferred it into <i>E.coli</i> DH5α. Meanwhile, we also transformed blank plasmid (only with <i>ori</i> and <i>cmR</i>) into DH5α as control group. We incubated engineered bacteria at 37 ℃ and 28 ℃, taking the bacteria with blank plasmid as control. As the <b>Figure 1</b> shows, medium of experimental group shaked at 28 ℃ is more limpid than ones shaked at 37 ℃; however, in the control group, the medium shaked at 28 ℃ is almost as turbid as ones shaked at 37 ℃.

In addition, for the verification of the effect of toxin protein, we also introduced a control plasmid, namely, a complete plasmid without this combination element. After referring to the experiments of the HZAU-China 2021 team and the original literature, we designed two temperature gradients, namely 37 ° C and 26 ° C, to validate the suicide system at these two temperature conditions. After shaking the bacteria for 15 hours, it can be observed from the picture that the bacteria liquid became clear at 26 ° C. This indicated that the sensitivity of our temperature suicide system was good, and it could achieve suicide at low temperature in vitro.

We also plotted the quantitative growth curves at 28 ℃ in this suicide scheme. We got OD<sub>600</sub> data changing over time by culturing our engineered bacteria and control bacteria in an automatic microplate reader for 12 hours. Compared with controls, the growth of our engineered bacteria was inhibited obviously(<b>Figure 2</b>).

To further verify the temperature sensibility of this composite part, we reput bacteria cultured at 28 ℃ into an oribital shaker at 37 ℃ overnight. Compared with themselves, the medium becomes turbid observably at 37 ℃, which means this part could make engineered bacteria kill themselves at 28 ℃ and let them survive at 37 ℃, working as expected(<b>Figure 3</b>).

A Suicide System: working when excreted in vitro

This suicide system contains a constitutive promoter (BBa_J23110), RNA thermometer (BBa_K4169005), strong RBS (BBa_B0034), toxin HepT (BBa_K4169006), and a terminator(hadn't been added in this page),which would express the HepT toxin below 27 ℃ to commit suicide.

Usage and Biology

When our engineered bacteria feel the temperature change in vivo and in vitro, the suicide system will be turned on, mainly manifested in the death of bacteria induced by low temperature, so as to ensure the safety of our entire metabolic system to a certain extent.

Functional Parameters

To verify the functionality of our constructed plasmid, we transferred it into competent E. coli DH5α. In addition, for the verification of the effect of toxin protein, we also introduced a control plasmid, namely, a complete plasmid without this combination element. After referring to the experiments of the HZAU-China 2021 team and the original literature, we designed two temperature gradients, namely 37 ° C and 26 ° C, to validate the suicide system at these two temperature conditions. After shaking the bacteria for 15 hours, it can be observed from the picture that the bacteria liquid became clear at 26 ° C. This indicated that the sensitivity of our temperature suicide system was good, and it could achieve suicide at low temperature in vitro.
