pSBBs1C-lacZ (lacZ reporter vector for B. subtilis)

This part is a reporter vector for Bacillus subtilis. It integrates at the amyE locus. It has a ampicillin resistance for cloning in E. coli and chloramphenicol resistance for B. subtilis. The multiple cloning site is followed by a lacZ gene for reporter assays. This backbone is a BioBricked version of the B. subtilis vector pAC6. This part was also evaluated in the publication [http://www.jbioleng.org/content/7/1/29 The Bacillus BioBrick Box: generation and evaluation of essential genetic building blocks for standardized work with Bacillus subtilis] by Radeck et al..

The transformation into B. subtilis is explained here.


LMU-Munich-Starchplate.png

To check for integration into ths amyE locus, the starch test was performed. The colonies obtained from the transormation into B.subtilis were streaked on an LB-Agar plate with 5 mg/L chloramphenicol and onto a starch plate (also W168 as a control) and incubated at 37°C over night. The starch plate is then covered with Lugol's iodine. Colonies without a bright surrounding are correct.


Fig. 1: β-galactosidase assay and growth curve of strains carrying the promoters PliaG (black) and Pveg (grey) fused to lacZ. β-galactosidase activity (Miller Units)and the growth curve values are the average of two independant clones with their standard deviation that were measured during the same experiment. Experiment shows representative data which was obtained in the same way from three independent experiments.


The two constitutive promoters PliaG and Pveg were evaluated with the reporter vector pSBBs1C-lacZ. Promoter activity leads to the expression of the β-galactosidase which directly correlates to the promoter activity. The β-galactosidase assay of the constitutive Bacillus promoters Pveg and PliaG was repeated three times. Data show one representative result. In the beginning of the growth curve both promoters show only low activity. But then it increases to a maximum before it decreases to the begininng level after about seven hours (Data not shown). Summing up the course of activity of both promoters Pveg and PliaG is very similar based on the growth curve. The highest β-galactosidase activity and therefore the highest activity of the promoter Pveg with a maximum of 65 Miller units can be found during the transition from the logarithmic to the stationary phase. This is about five times higher than the acitivity of the promoter PliaG with a maximum activity of about 12 Miller Units.
