INP-Silicatein
A kind of fusion protein that helps to form silicon dioxide outside the membrane.
Data
According to Fig.1, all the fragments designed have been successfully made, including S1&S2, which are Silicatein combined with INP, and P1&P2, which are S010_pET28b-csgA-linker-mfp5-7His(pET).
Fig.2 represents the results of gel electrophoresis to test the fragment after Gibson Assembly. The length is about 600bp, which, together with the results from sequencing, indicates a positive outcome.
Fig.3 represents qualitative OD values, showing that there is sufficient amount of silicatein produced, since: •Both NC Control are darker (NC1 remain as yellow which indicates that it needs MORE NaOH to turn blue, it contains more acids). •Both silicatein mixture (with / without homogenization) have higher OD810nm, meaning that there are more bacteria inside the test tube (the solution is thicker / not as clear as NCs).
Fig.4 shows the results from TEM testing. Dark proportions represent silicon dioxide produced on the surface of cells.
