Description

Lead ion bacteria whole-cell biosensor with two-color output signals and application
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of biology, in particular to a lead ion bacteria whole cell biosensor with two-color output signals and application thereof.
Background
Some heavy metal elements (such as lead, cadmium, mercury, chromium, etc.) are known to have no biological function and to be toxic to organisms at very low concentrations. In addition, such elements are not biodegradable in the natural environment and are bioaccumulating. The rapid development of global economy in recent years has led to "heavy metal redistribution", thereby causing a serious pollution event, and environmental protection is becoming a global concern. The premise for carrying out pollution prevention and control is to reasonably and accurately monitor the heavy metal poison in the environment. The whole-cell biosensor senses the heavy metal in a bioavailable form by simulating environment biology, integrates the functions of traditional means such as environmental pollution physicochemical monitoring and biological monitoring, has great significance for predicting the ecological toxicity and environmental risk of toxic heavy metal, and is expected to become powerful supplement of the detection means of mainstream instruments.
The natural pigment synthetic gene cluster is used as a reporter gene module, the bottleneck that the traditional biological sensing signal excessively depends on reading of an instrument is broken through, heavy metal biological sensing based on color change, low cost, quick response and instrument dependence reduction is expected to be realized, exposure of heavy metals is recognized by naked eyes, and related researches are rarely reported.
Violacein is a fat-soluble pigment produced by chromobacterium violacearum. In recent years, heterologous synthesis of violacein has become possible with elucidation of the synthetic pathway of violacein. Based on the recently elucidated violacein branched biosynthetic pathway, the intermediate Proviolacein (PV) is a green pigment. At present, no relevant report of a lead ion microbial whole cell biosensor taking a PV derivative as an output signal exists.
