| − | <p>The ScGS is a bifunctional sesquiterpene cyclase, with the presence of Mg<sup>2+</sup>, the N-terminal half of this protein catalyzes the ionization and cyclization of farnesyl diphosphate to form germacradienol and inorganic pyrophosphate(PP<sub>i</sub>). Then the C-terminal domain, highly homologous with the former, catalyzes the protonation, cyclization, and fragmentation of germacradienol to form geosmin and acetone.1111</p> | + | <p>The RNA thermometer has a special sequence capable of forming stem-loop structures at 27 ° C and below and opening at 37 ° C. At the same time, there is a specific binding site for RNase E on the sequence that can form the secondary structure. At the transcriptional level, if this sequence is present on mRNA, it is able to bind RNase E and thus degrade the entire RNA strand. Therefore, we introduce the thermometer into the suicide module to achieve temperature sensitive suicide. |

| − | <p>To obtain ScGS, pET-28a(+)-ScGS(with His-tag) was transferred into <i>E.coli</i> BL21(DE3), and the cells were inoculated in 25 mL cultures of LB medium with 10 μg/mL kanamycin. These cultures were grown at 37℃ with 250 rpm shaking until the OD<sub>600</sub> reached 0.5-0.8, then 0.3 mM isopropyl <i>β</i>-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside(IPTG) were added, following by an overnight cultivation at 16℃ with 250 rpm shaking to induce protein expression. The washed and harvested cells were resuspended with a Binding Buffer, and then the cells were lysed by ultrasonication. Purification was performed according to the protocol of Ni-NTA Sefinose<sup>TM</sup> Resin (Sangon Biotech, Shanghai, China). As it shows in the following figure(<b>Figure 1.</b>), the existence of ScGS in our chasis was proved by SDS-PAGE analysis.</p>

| − | <p>In order to identify the synthesis of geosmin, engineered bacteria in TB medium containing 5% glycerol were first induced ScGS expression with 0.7mM IPTG when OD<sub>600</sub> reached about 0.7, following by an overnight culture at 18℃ and continuing cultivation for next 72h at 25℃. From this way we could smell a strong and unusual odor from the culture comparing to the control.</p>

| − | <p>For further demonstration, we prepared the sample via headspace liguid-phase microextraction(HS-LPME) and a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS) test was conducted. The results given by GC-MS fairly shows the existence of geosmin in our culture(<b>Figure 2.</b>), thus proves the feasibility of the part.</p>

Under natural conditions, some RNA with special structures can form stem loops autonomously. Complete with RNA Thermometer(HZAU-China 2021:BBa_K3733011) was used in this study.
The RNA thermometer has a special sequence capable of forming stem-loop structures at 27 ° C and below and opening at 37 ° C. At the same time, there is a specific binding site for RNase E on the sequence that can form the secondary structure. At the transcriptional level, if this sequence is present on mRNA, it is able to bind RNase E and thus degrade the entire RNA strand. Therefore, we introduce the thermometer into the suicide module to achieve temperature sensitive suicide.
