Congo Red has a strong chromogenic reaction with &#946;-1, 3-glucan, and when &#946;-1, 3-glucan is decomposed into reducing monosaccharides by &#946;-1, 3-glucanase, the hydrolyzed region forms a pale yellow transparent hydrolytic circle. The results of activity detection of Congo Red hydrolytic ring (Figure 2) showed that compared to the control, there was a larger size of transparent hydrolytic circle caused by &#946;-1, 3-glucanase expressed in E. coli with pVE-&#946;-GA.

β-1,3-glucanase

β-1,3-glucanase protein coding region. β-1,3-glucanase can degrade biofilm.

1. Usage and Biology

β-1,3-glucan is one of the primary components in C. albicans biofilm EPS, which is important for Candida biofilm formation and resistance to stresses. The enzyme β-1,3-glucanase, form Cellulosimicrobium cellulans, can degrade β-1,3-glucan. Therefore, this year, we decided use β-1,3-glucanase to disrupt the Candida biofilm matrix and increase the effect of the antimicrobial drug.


2. Characterization

We characterised β-1,3-glucanase by cloning it into pVE vector. Moreover, an signal peptide were added.

To verify the construction of pVE-β-1,3-glucanase(pVE-β-GA) which we generated, the digestion by SalI/EcoRV was performed by a standard protocol following agarose gel electrophoresis (Figure 1).

Figure 1. Digestion and agarose gel electrophoresis of pVE-β-GA.

To assess the expression of our β-1,3-glucanase, Congo Red experiment was used.

Congo Red has a strong chromogenic reaction with β-1, 3-glucan, and when β-1, 3-glucan is decomposed into reducing monosaccharides by β-1, 3-glucanase, the hydrolyzed region forms a pale yellow transparent hydrolytic circle. The results of activity detection of Congo Red hydrolytic ring (Figure 2) showed that compared to the control, there was a larger size of transparent hydrolytic circle caused by β-1, 3-glucanase expressed in E. coli with pVE-β-GA.

Figure 2. Expression of pVE-β-GA. Add 10 mg/ml Congo Red solution to LB medium containing β-1,3-glucan substrate (0.1 g/100 mL) at a ratio of 1:100. 100 μl supernatant obtained by centrifugation after ultrasonic crushing of E. coli with pVE-β-GA is added to the Oxford cup, and the pVE empty vector bacteria supernatant is used as the control. Stand at 37 ℃ for 24 hours.

To assess the expression of our β-1,3-glucanase, Congo Red experiment was used.
