dszB with tac promoter induced by IPTG
We constructed dszB with tac promoter. DszB is a a desulfinase which can convert 2-(2-hydroxybiphenyl) sulfinate (HBPS) to 2-hydroxybiphenyl (2HBP) during the 4S pathway, in which dibenzothiophene (DBT) undergoes three successive oxidation steps and one a hydrolytic step leading to the formation of 2-hydroxybiphenyl (2HBP)
This single desulfinase gene was synthesized whith E.coli codon optimized by Generay and the sequence was found in NCBI (GenBank Accession number L37363.1)

Finally, we increased DszB copy number to gain higher efficiency of desulfurization (as shown in Figure 1). We also cultured the recombinant strain BL21-dszB (as shown in Figure 2), and add it (0.5 mgprotein/mL) to the recombinant strain BL21-dszBBACD (optimized)
Figure 3. The desulfurization results of Recombinant strain BL21-dszBBACD (optimized) addition of cell extract from the recombinant strain BL21-dszB tested by HPLC The desulfurization efficiency of the recombinant strain BL21-dszBBACD (optimized) addition of cell extract from the recombinant strain BL21-dszB is further improved (as shown in Figure 3). To know our project working under real industrial condition, we used n-dodecane with DBT (final concentration is 1mM) to simulate oil and the ratio of organic mixture and water is 1:9, which was based on our mathematic modeling. We added induced bacteria into the mixed system at an initial A600 of 2.0. After the reaction of 6 hours, we took 1 ml sample which would be tested by HPLC (as shown in Figure 4). The result shows clearly the generation of 2-HBP which means success of our project. Because it’s only a pre-experiment that we didn’t use equipment such as ultrasonator, the result does not show a high-efficiency desulfurization. We will do 2L-system desulfurization experiment in the next step.
Figure 4. The elements of oil phase and aqueous phase after 6h-reaction The result shows significant conclusions which will guide us in the next step: a.The elements of oil will nearly not be metabolized or absorbed by our engineered bacteria in oil-water phrases. b.Our engineered bacteria can convert DBT into 2-HBP successfully in oil-water phrases. c.Very little organic elements will be left in aqueous phase.
