Summary: colony forming unit (CFU)

Characterization from iGEM20-XMU-China

        MazF is toxin protein in MazF-MazE, toxin-antitoxin module. It was first registered in 2013 and used as an mRNA endonuclease. It kills bacteria without cracking them, which will directly influence the value of OD₆₀₀.

        In order to quantify the toxicity of mazF, colony forming unit (CFU) cell viability assays were used to measure functionality of the circuit(1).

        Because direct expression of MazF will kill bacteria, we construct the circuit "P_Bad/araC-RBS-MazF-terminator-pSB1C3"(BBa_K3332083) and "P_Bad/araC-RBS-EYFP-terminator-pSB1C3"(BBa_K3332082) in E.coli BL21(DE3) to characterize its function.

Fig.1 genetic circuit of P_Bad/araC-RBS-MazF-terminator.

        When 0.2% arabinose was added, the experimental group showed a sharp decrease on the CFU, which indicates the protein encoded by MazF is fatal to E. coli. It further demonstrated that the MazF encoded by J23100-RBS (BBa_K880005) was able to work as a toxin.
