Biology
This part encodes phenazine-specific methyltransferase inside Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This gene is related to the electron transduction in cells. Up-regulation of this gene will increase the rate of electron transduction. In our project, we use this gene to improve the efficiency of Microbial fuel cells (MFCs).
Usage
Team Nanjing_NFLS added phzM gene on pBBR1MCS-5 to form the expression system. Restriction endonuclease digestion result (Figure 1) showed the gene is successfully bind to the plasmid.

Moreover, Methyltransferase activity assay was performed. Prepare standard solutions (0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05, 0.08, 0.1 μ mol/mL), and the absorbance was measured at 313 nm. And the enzyme activity (E) of methyltransferase: E = (∆A_313+0.089)/(∆t×0.000578) . (t (min) for absorbance changing time, E for the methyltransferase activity (U/mL) contained in each mL of supernatant).
According to the standard curve for pyocyanin E = (∆A_313+0.089)/(∆t×0.000578), and the specific enzyme activity: SE = E/m . (E for the methyltransferase activity (U/mL) contained in each mL of supernatant, SE for the specific enzyme activity of the methyltransferase (U/mg)), the results of enzymatic activities analysis (Figure 2). It can be seen that methyltransferase was highly expressed in engineered cells, which is 2.8~3.04 times higher than the control group.
