EPVM-PBBR1MCS-2

EPVM-PBBR1MCS-2 is a plasmid which can generate polyP in E.coli BL21. We inserted ppk1, vgb and mazE into the PBBR1MCS-2 vector to construct this part.

In bacteria, polyP is synthesized by polyphosphate kinase (PPK). PPK1 can lengthen the polymer by using the γ-Pi phosphate bond of ATP, and its reversible reaction is to synthesize ATP from ADP and Pi. The ppk1 codes PPK1, which can promote the synthesis(major function) and decomposition(minor function) of polyP with the residue of ATP. Therefore, we insert ppk1 gene into plasmid PBBR1MCS-2 in order to produce PolyP. Then we transduce the modified plasmid into E.coli BL21 and use synthetic wastewater to culture bacteria. After 12 hours’ polymerization of phosphorus, E.coli are collected and freeze-dried for preservation.

Therefore, we conducted the above experiment for the first time. Owing to the lack of experience, our experiment time span is too short to reflect the overall situation of polyP production efficiency. Here are our results:

Figure1 values of OD600 against time in the polyphosphorous culture medium
Figure2 values of OD600 against time in the LB culture medium
Figure3 values of OD700 against time in the polyphosphorous culture medium

From the results above, it is not difficult to find that polyP productivity increased greatly, thanks to the insertion of vgb and mazE genes. Therefore, we realized the production of polyP in large scale and prepared raw materials for our future experiments.
