Construction and Improvement of pSB6A1

ThisTo extend the usage of BioBrick-compatible pBR322-based vector, Part:pSB6A1, we changed the promoter of lac to ldhp and an antibiotic of ampicillin to kanamycin or chloramphenicol to generate two plasmid backbones of pSB6K1 (Part:BBa_K3728009) and pSB6C1 (Part:BBa_K3728010) and a composite part of ldhp-RFP-Tr/pSB6C1 (Part:BBa_K3728013).

Application in the Salmonella Study

ThisIn our project, we focus on tackling an issue of food supply and security. Salmonella spp. are pathogens common in foodborne disease outbreaks. Salmonella typhimurium strain LT2 and the pBR322 vector with AmpR are widely used in Salmonella transgenesis studies in the laboratories[1]. Unexpectedly, the wild type of Salmonella labelled LT2 obtained from the lab of Prof. Cheng-Yang Huang at Chung Shan Medical University survived and grew on LB ampicillin agar plates (now we called it strain CYH). In addition, because of emergence of multidrug-resistant Salmonella[2], we are motivated to develop tools for Salmonella spp. including a broad-host-range promoter and antibiotic resistance cassettes based on improving the BioBrick existing part of pBR322-based pSB6A1 (AmpR).

Strain Verification & Antibiotics Screening

ThisThe Salmonella strain CYH was identified by PCR with primer sets based on the sequences in the KEGG database and Park SH’s paper[3]. Fig. 1 (A) indicated the presence of Salmonella genes and genus-conserved sequences.

ThisThen, we tested CYH strain with antibiotics frequently used in iGEM projects. (i.e., ampicillin, chloramphenicol and kanamycin). We found Salmonella strain CYH can grow on LB agar plates supplemented with 100 µg/ml of ampicillin but not with 20 µg/ml of chloramphenicol and 50 µg/ml of kanamycin (Fig. 1(B)).
