Colony Result   We successfully built DenTeeth. Figure 1. Quorum sensing sequence + Restoration sequence + Sterilization sequence.

(4685 b.p.)</i> Model    Through the modeling built with substituting parameters from published articles, the growth of E. coli and P. gingivalis under the effect of LL-37 would be inhibited significantly. However, the figure also shows that E. coli could still live with LL-37. Simply speaking, we successfully test the feasibility of DenTeeth and find that we can improve the DenTeeth with both biobrick design and efficiency optimization model. Figure 2. The growth curve of E. coli and P. gingivalis Figure 3. The growth curve of E. coli and P. gingivalis    Because P. gingivalis was in the RG2, so we could not do the LL-37 functional test by inhibiting the growth of P. gingivalis. After reading some related papers, we found that the killing rate of E. coli was similar to that of P. gingivalis [4]. Based on these data, we determined to make E. coli, DH5α with pET32A, as the bacteria killed by DenTeeth in the LL-37 functional test. Table 1. Parameters of the sterilization system of LL37 Functional Test   After finishing the design of DenTeeth, we wanted to know whether its inhibition ability can have a function, so we designed the following experiment.   By taking the method of dish culture and sticking up the filter paper, we dropped the DenTeeth on the filter paper in the center of the E. coli, DH5α with pET32a, plate. After twelve hours, a circular area around the spot of the DenTeeth formed, in which the bacteria colonies did not grow. Inhibition zone proved that the LL-37 produced by DenTeeth could successfully secrete out and inhibit the growth of E. coli, DH5α with pET32a. Figure 4. DenTeeth inhibition zone result in LB plates.

(A) 30% hydrogen peroxide, (B) E. coli (BL21) with pSB1K3, (C) DenTeeth, (D) E. coli (BL21) with pSB1K3 (Cell Lysate), (E) DenTeeth (Cell Lysate), (F) PBS, (G) E. coli (BL21) with pSB1K3 + PBS, (H) DenTeeth + PBS, (I) LB broth (Centrifuging E. coli (BL21) with pSB1K3 after liquid culturing ), (J) LB broth (Centrifuging E. coli (BL21) with pSB1K3 after liquid culturing ) )
