Stage2: Strain Transformation(7.17-8.29)
-
DH5α amplification of cscB gene and cscB plasmid extraction.
-
Plasmid extraction of cscB and transformation into PCC7942. -
Measurement of cscB plasmid concentration and sample submission for testing. -
SN medium used for wild type, pre-transformation, and post-transformation.
Stage3: Expression Verification(9.7-9.22)
-
We measured sucrose content from September 7 to 22, showing that transformed
cyanobacteria had decreased intracellular sucrose and increased supernatant sucrose,
indicating their ability to secrete sucrose.
-
Designed a thiobarbituric acid method for colorimetric detection of formic acid
concentration, using a microplate reader to measure OD450 absorbance.
Design three electrosynthesis experiments with wild-typeS. oneidensis MR-1.
Measurement of the resistance of different powered devices.
We designed and completed a fourth electrosynthesis experiment, which confirmed the
successful expression of the designed gene plasmid and improved EEU efficiency.
We designed the 5th and 6th electrosynthesis experiments, which confirmed that the
addition of 2-HNQ improved EEU efficiency.
We designed the 7th and 8th electrosynthesis experiments, which confirmed that the
addition of riboflavin improved EEU efficiency.
S. oneidensis MR-1 Chelex100 DNA Extraction
We completed the 9th and 10th electrosynthesis experiments, which confirmed that the
addition of riboflavin and rGO improved EEU efficiency.
Designed four media formulations: 2216E, 2216E + 1.5% NaCl, 2216 + 3% NaCl, 2216E +
4.5% NaCl for cultivating V.N.
Attempted to Culture Vibrio natriegens with sodium formate.
1.Four sets of Cabp-Chbd plasmid extraction:
Electroporated plasmid.
V.N.
Extraction of CA plasmid from E. coli.
V.N. electroporation.
V.N. electroporation. transformation failure.
V.N. electroporation. transformation failure.
V.N. electroporation. transformation failure.
V.N. electroporation. transformation failure.
Preparation of induction expression system (4 sets).
0:00: Inoculated E. coli (containing Cabp-Chbd and CA genes), OD600 measured.
Measured mCherry and EGFP fluorescence intensity (morning)
Afternoon
Inoculated V.N., OD600 measured.
A concentration gradient of IPTG was prepared, and transformed Vibrio
natriegens was inoculated at 22:00. When OD600 reached 0.5, IPTG was added to
induce fluorescent protein expression, which was observed using a fluorescence
microscope.
Upon excitation with red light under the fluorescence microscope, the Vibrio
natriegens transformed with the mCherry gene exhibited a stable red fluorescent
signal, confirming the successful expression of the plasmid.
Fluorescence microscopy of Vibrio natriegens expressing EGFP showed a strong,
uniform green fluorescence under 488 nm excitation, with emission around 509 nm,
confirming correct EGFP expression. This indicates successful transformation and
effective transcription and translation of the CARPs plasmid in Vibrio
natriegens.
