제목 Construction of a bacterial biosensor for zinc and copper and its application to the development of multifunctional heavy metal adsorption bacteria
초록 In this study, we designed and applied molecular biosensors for heavy metals, zinc and copper, for use in bioremediation strategies.zraP and cusC promoters were selected from a genetic circuit of the ZraSR and CusSR two-component system and were fused to a dual-labeling reporter protein as an interactive biological component for zinc and copper to generate a signal from the constructed biosensor. The biosensor efficiently senses zinc and copper with a calculated detection limit of 16 µM and 26 µM respectively and was shown to be a sensitive and effective heavy metal monitoring bacterial system. To extend the application of the bacterial biosensor, we assembled a bioadsorption system that can trigger bacteria to sense and adsorb 13±0.3 mg/L of zinc and 11.4±0.42 mg/L of copper per gram of dry cell weight with induction at a concentration of 100 mg/L of the respective metal ion. This work was supported by a grant from the Next-Generation BioGreen 21 Program (SSAC, grant number: PJ008057), Rural Development Administration, Republic of Korea.
