iGEM2021_Nanjing-China Experiment

Group: Nanjing-China 2021

We took ppk1 in Citrobacter freundii ATCC 8090 as a comparison and validated its activity through the experiment. We found that like in Citrobacter freundii ATCC 8090, ppk1 can also produce polyP in the E.coli, which proved our hypothesis.After incubation in the polyphosphorous culture medium for 20 min, we found that polyP was produced by PPK1, which was proved by ashing and spectrum.

We also measured the curve of OD value CPVM in PA medium. Here is our result:

Figure 1）OD measurement of CPVM

We compared results of CPVM with results of EPVM, and proved the activity of ppk1 in Citrobacter freundii ATCC 8090.

iGEM2019_Nanjing China Experiment

This year our team develops a simple solo medium-copy plasmid-based polyphosphate kinase (PPK1) overexpression strategy for achieving maximum intracellular polyphosphate accumulation, so the data can provide some reference to this part.

We test supernatant Pi concentration and optical density of Ecoil(DH5a) and DH5a-MDPP in Synthetic municipal wastewater(SMW).

Ps: SMW means Synthetic municipal wastewater

DH5a-MDPP means solo medium-copy DH5a ppk in DH5a
