Description
Background
Nowadasys, oil pollution is a serious problem in many enviromental problems, which has drew more and more attention. Oil pollutiion will destroy the habitat of a lot of creatures, such as, seabirds, plants,etc.Besides,the destruction caused by oil pollution can sustain a long time and it is hard to be reversed. So we are looking forward to creating a factional bacteria to do some damage controll.Application
We used bacteria as a bio-cleaner to eliminate pollution caused by leaked oil. We have successed transducing oil degradation genes like C23O, Alk，Led, into Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and had a good degradation effect. However, Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a conditional pathogen which may cause severe disease when human immunity decreased. Besides, bacteria in common use, such as, E.coli, Yeast or Lactobacillus are not having an ideal degradation effect. Therefore, we are now looking for an alternative chassis to take place Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Here are our expectations:
- We intend to use oil degradation bacteria we found in literature as our chassis. Genes mentioned above may have a good expression in a oil degradation bacteria, such as, B.subtilis. This kind of bacteria is permitted to be used.
- We also plan to use bacteria, which is close to Pseudomonas aeruginosa based on microbial taxonomy as our chassis to promote our oil degradation effect.
