Overall Project
A BioBrick toolkit for cyanobacteria
- We aim to extend the current BioBrick registry to a greater range of organisms, including cyanobacteria. Cyanobacteria are studied for their ability to produce useful compounds, including biofuels and biopolymers. These "little green factories" require only salts, light, water, and carbon dioxide for photoautotrophic growth. A cyanobacterial "toolkit" would enhance our ability to utilize this system.
- We designed:
- 1) mobilizable broad-host range BioBrick vectors derived from RSF1010,
- 2) a cassette for protein secretion from Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, and
- 3) a nitrate-inducible cyanobacterial promoter BioBrick.
- 1) mobilizable broad-host range BioBrick vectors derived from RSF1010,
- Our toolkit was designed for conjugative gene transfer from Escherichia coli to Synechocystis to achieve the controlled production and recovery or bioproducts, demonstrable by induced secretion of green fluorescent protein. Though our parts were targeted for work in cyanobacteria, they may be compatible with other Gram-negative systems including Agrobacterium, which is capable of plant transformation.
