Engineer

We offer an environmentally friendly biofertilizer that attempts to solve the global ecological security and economic problems caused by the widespread use of chemical herbicides through synthetic biology. We constructed an engineered E. coli that produces aspartic acid and extracellular polysaccharide (EPS), a novel herbicide, under blue light and can be released into soil in a controlled manner at high temperatures, avoiding overuse of herbicides and possible residues, and promoting water retention and sand fixation of EPS. Our system consists of a proplasmid that converts glucose into a key precursor, GPP, and multiple functional plasmids that synthesize herbicides and EPS under blue light control. At the same time, our engineered cells would release herbicides and EPS containing lytic genes at a high temperature above 42℃. About 10% of the bacteria will escape the lysis process and recover, facilitating a new round of controlled production and release of herbicides and EPS. The intelligent synthesis and release of our biofertilizers will maximize the effects of herbicides and EPS, contributing to the environment and society.

Design

Based on the above hypothesis and the ideas provided by the literature, we designed the upstream control element of the chimeric VVD-AraC fusion structure and the downstream element to verify the effect of the modified operon. We selected sfGFP as the verification protein to efficiently test the expression of the element. The constructed circuit diagram is shown in the following figure.

Build

According to our design, the AraC and ParaBAD genes of the Arabinose induction and regulation system from Escherichia coli and the vivid gene from Streptomyces were synthesized respectively. eSD was added as the ribosome binding site. The synthetic genes were amplified by PCR, and the gene fragments were connected by golden gate according to the circuit diagram design. We selected Native Pc, J23101, and porin as operon gene promoters, and determined the best promoters by synthesizing and detecting the final thallus concentration and the expression yield of the green fluorescent protein.

Test

It can be seen from Figures above that porin has a higher VVD transcription level and sfGFP background expression than the J23101 promoter under non-blue light induction, indicating that the porin promoter can better and more precisely initiate and regulate gene expression. FIG. 17 further proves that porin has a larger dynamic response range and better sensitivity when induced by blue light than the native PC promoter and J23101 promoter. Therefore, the PAVVDH-porin promoter was selected as the follow-up research object.
