--ScTPS1--

Saccharomyces cerevisiae trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (ScTPS1) is found in the Schizosaccharomyces pombe. The Schizosaccharomyces pombe a species of yeast used in traditional brewing and as a common model in synthetic biology. It is belong to the Schizosaccharomycetes class, and Schizosaccharomycetaceae family.

It is assumed that ScTPS1 can enhance the osmotic pressure tolerance of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe, because it is the essential gene in the synthesis of the trehalose. The changing in the expression of ScTPS1 can positively affect the amount of trehalose in the cell. Trehalose, as a small molecules substance, can increase the cell’s ability of regulating the osmotic pressure. When the osmotic pressure from the environment is too high, the cell will face the dangerous of dehydration or plasmolysis. Trehalose can turn into a gel phase when the cells are dehydrated. The gel phase sugar can prevents the further disruption of internal cell organelles, because the gel can splinting the cell organelles in position.

With more ScTPS1 expressed, there will be more trehalose in our targeted cell, GS115. We plan to transform this part in the GS115, and test GS115 in different controlled environment. By testing this, we can test whether ScTPS1 will have the same effect in GS115 and whether it can affect the surviving rate of GS115. Then we plan to test the performance of GS115 after transformation in the process of degradation of food waste.
