Part:BBa_K2378006
NhaR-PETase Constitutive Coding Device
This is an optimized coding sequence of PETase enzyme for E. coli BL21 with the addition of NhaR BBa_K1357002 (https://parts.igem.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K1357002) coding sequence. NhaR enhances the transcription of pgaABCD operon which in turn induces the production of biofilm. This part also uses constitutive promoters BBa_J23106.
Crystal Violet Biofilm Assay
Expression of NhaR induces rapid production of biofilm. In order to observe the effect of NhaR in this part, we tested the rate of biofilm production of bacteria transformed with this part containing NhaR compared to control bacteria without NhaR.
The experiment was done by growing bacterial cultures in a 96-well microtiter plate, and measuring its biofilm formation after 6, 12, 18, 24 hours of incubation. The complete protocol can be seen here (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3182663/).
The result shows a more rapid biofilm production in cultures transformed with this part containing NhaR compared to its control without NhaR.
