ppk1 in E.Coli BL21
In bacteria, polyP is synthesized by polyphosphate kinase (PPK). PPK consists of PPK1 and PPK2. PPK1 can lengthen the polymer by using the γ-Pi phosphate bond of ATP, and its reversible reaction is to synthesize ATP from ADP and Pi. PPK2 can use polyP to synthesize GTP or ATP reversibly, and mainly synthesize GTP. The ppk1 codes PPK1, which can promote the synthesis(major function) and decomposition(minor function) of polyP with the residue of ATP.

We found that polyP productivity would reach the highest after inoculation for 14 hours and 100ml of synthetic wastewater in a 200ml Erlenmeyer flask has the highest output and the highest conversion efficiency.
PolyP formation is closely associated with ppk1 gene in CPP. This means the cultivation time and volume will affect P consuming a lot. After comparing different cultivation conditions, we found that polyP productivity will reach the highest after inoculation for 14 hours, that is approximately 20mg/L. Besides, 100ml of synthetic wastewater in a 200ml Erlenmeyer flask has the highest output and the highest conversion efficiency. Without bacterial contamination and normal bacterial viability,it can almost convert all inorganic phosphates into polyphosphates.
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.
We test plasmid-borne ppk1 expression in CPP via qRT-PCR analysis, supernatant Pi concentration and optical density of CPP and CWT in Synthetic municipal wastewater(SMW).
