RBS-pflB
It encodes pyruvate formate-lyase.
Usage and biology
It encodes pyruvate formate-lyase to transform pyruvate into Acetyl-CoA. With the overexpression of pflB, Shewanella could produce NADH more efficiently, which brings more electricity being produced.
Characterization
This is one section for NADH production part.
DNA Gel Electrophoretic
To make sure that we get the target gene, we did the DNA gel electrophoretic to separate different gene. And here is the result.
Our target genes are 2731bp, and as the marker is DS5000, we could be sure that the bright bands in this picture are our target genes.
Real-Time Quantitative PCR
To demonstrate that mdh could be overexpressed by engineered Shewanella, we did Real-Time Quantitative PCR.
As we can see from this figure, pflB could be overexpressed by engineered Shewanella.
