Firstly, we prepared 400ml W medium, then, we devided the medium into four pieces averagely and number them No.1, No.2, No.3, No.4. Next, we added 0.1g NaCl, 0.1g NH4Cl, 0.3g sucrose to No.2, No.3, No.4, respectively. After that, we extracted 5 ml No.1, No.2, No.3, No.4 and added them to four test tubes, then, we added 10 μL bacteria solution of Bacillus stubtilis 168 to four test tubes, respectively.

      Aug.2th

    Cultured Pseudomonas putida KT2440 in W medium with sodium terephthalate and glucose at 30℃ & 200 rpm, checked the bacterial concentration at OD600 and detected the concentration of TPA by UV at OD242.

      Aug.4th

            Observed the growth of 1-day pre-cultured bacteria in LB at 30℃:
    All above were kept culturing for one more day and were checked on the next day. The next step was to explore the optimal condition for each bacterium and to co-culture each teo of them to see whether the consortium could work well.

    The most probable pairs:
    1. P.putida KT2440 + R.jostii RHA1;
    2. B.subtilis 168 + R.jostii RHA1;
    3. B.subtills 168 + P.putida KT2440;
    4. R.jostii RHA1 + Y.lipolytia;
    5. P.putida KT2440 + Y.lipolytia;
    6. E.coli(RFP) + Y.lipolytia.

      Aug.5th

    Cultured different bacteria in M9 medium with sodium terephthalate at 30℃ & 200 rpm, checked the bacterial concentration at OD600 and detected the concentration of TPA by UV at OD242: The growth of each bacterium was not as expected, so we considered culturing bacteria in improved W medium.

    Co-cultured different pairs in improved W medium in the same condition (using two tubes in each group):

    Co-cultured different pairs in LB medium in the same condition(using two tubes in each group):

      Aug.6th

    Co-cultured different pairs in improved W medium in the same condition (using two tubes in each group):

    Microscopic examination of each bacterium and each pair by means of Fuchsin or Gram dye. To our surprise, there were some pairs (P.p + R.j) living well in the same tube and also there were some pairs we were not sure. It seemed that P.putida KT2440 was the dominant bacterium when it was co-cultured with others. We were thinking about limiting its growth by control ingredients in different media.

  • Construction of PBBR


      Aug.5th

            Extraction of plasmid pBBR1MCS-2

      Aug.6th

                Cut pBBR1MCS-2 with restricted enzymes Xba1 and Sac1 and checked by agarose gel electrophoresis:
            Failed. After gel recovery, the concentration of digested pBBR1MCS-2 was 2.4 ng/μl, which was too low to be used in the next step.

  • optimization of culture conditions


      Aug.7th

    For each pair, we checked the bacterial concentration at OD_600 and detected the concentration of TPA by UV at Abs_242.According to results of the UV tests, if R.j existed, whatever the strategy was, the concentration of TPA would significantly decrease. Especially for pairs R.j+P.p and R.j + B.s, results showed greater reductions in the concentration of TPA compared with control group.

    Pre-culture and acclimatize P.putida KT2440 in a condition with 5% EG To our surprise, this wild type of P.putida could grow well in this condition, we considered increasing the concentration of EG in the condition.
