PolyP <->Pi


Basic Description

This basic part encodes the PPK1 gene which is initially from Citrobacter freundii and we performed codon optimization on, is expressed in the pBBR1MCS-terminator plasmid. This basic part is designed to facilitate the reversible conversion between inorganic polyphosphate (PolyP) and inorganic phosphate (Pi). The PPK1 enzyme is known for its ability to synthesize PolyP from ATP and Pi and to degrade PolyP back to Pi, with a preference for the synthetic reaction, making it a versatile tool for managing phosphate metabolism in engineered systems. In a sentence, it can reversibly convert PolyP and Pi. This reversible process favors the generation of PolyP. For the first time, we expressed this element in a strain of S. oneidensis. and conducted codon optimization based on S. oneidensis..

Origin (Organism)

The PPK1 gene was sourced from Citrobacter freundii. The pBBR1MCS-terminator plasmid backbone is a standard vector used for gene expression in synthetic biology applications.

Experimental Characterization and results

Trying to enhance S. oneidensis.'s capacity to produce electricity and polymerize phosphorus, we first introduced PPK1 into it.

As the strength of the RBS decreases, the electrochemical activity of S. oneidensis. significantly increases, as detected by the Pi content detection method, while its polyphosphate capacity decreases, as observed through half-cell experiment.

Figure 3: Phosphorus accumulation capacity in S. oneidensis. after the introduction of PPK1

Figure 4: Electricity production capacity of S. oneidensis. after the introduction of PPK1

We then analyzed factors contributing to the reduced electricity generation capability of SPK1

Scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope results showed that the strains with high phosphorus content had abnormal morphology, indicating that allowing bacteria to be in a high phosphorus content state in advance is not conducive to the rapid transfer of electrons and is not conducive to the ability to produce electricity.
