Technical Field

The invention belongs to the technical field of environmental biology, and particularly relates to a whole-cell biosensor for high-sensitivity detection of heavy metal ions (divalent mercury ions or lead ions) in a water-soluble sample, and construction and application thereof.

Background

With the development of industry, heavy metal pollution becomes more serious and becomes one of outstanding environmental problems. Heavy metal has high toxicity, is easy to enrich in organisms and difficult to degrade, and brings great threat to human health after entering a food chain, so that the detection technology of heavy metal ions is very important. The detection technology of heavy metal ions mainly comprises an atomic absorption spectrometry, an atomic fluorescence spectrometry, an inductively coupled plasma method, an ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, a high performance liquid chromatography, an electrochemical analysis method, a biological detection method and a chemical color development method. The atomic absorption spectrometry, the atomic fluorescence spectrometry, the inductively coupled plasma method, the ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry and the high performance liquid chromatography have the advantages of high sensitivity, high specificity and the like, but the required instruments are expensive, complex to operate and inconvenient to carry, are mainly used for laboratory detection and cannot be used as a field detection technology. The electrochemical analysis method and the chemical color development method are simple to operate and easy to miniaturize, can be used as a field detection technology, but the sensitivity of the electrochemical analysis method and the chemical color development method cannot meet the requirement. Because of serious heavy metal pollution in China, simple and convenient operation and high sensitivity, the on-site real-time detection of the heavy metal is more and more emphasized.

Specific microbial sensor detection is based on the response of engineered strains to specific small molecule substances, whose function is mainly performed by two elements. 1. The induction element composed of regulatory protein and promoter regulated by the regulatory protein can cause gene expression change after the induction element reacts with specific small molecular substance, so as to cause a series of phenomena. 2. A reporter element consisting of a protein which is controlled by the sensor element and is easy to detect. In 1997, Mistelli et al isolated a native Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) from Aequorea Victoria. Because the fluorescent probe has fluorescence, does not need an additional substrate and is stable, the fluorescent probe is widely applied to a microbial sensor as a reporting element. Roberto FF et al, 2002, produced a microbial sensor for detecting As with GFP As a reporter element; in 2006, Lian VH et al detected heavy metal ions in soil based on GFP reporter elements; in 2016, Lara Bereza-Malcolm produced a biosensor capable of specifically detecting lead using GFP as a reporter element.

The advantages of the microbial sensor detection are low price, simple operation, high specificity and good sensitivity, but the existing biological detection method has the problems. Firstly, the detection period is longer, and green fluorescent protein has multiple advantages, but its maturation time is longer, often needs 2 ~ 3 hours just can the complete maturation, is unfavorable for the short-term test. Furthermore, the quantification of GFP requires the use of expensive instruments, which are not easily portable and do not facilitate on-site real-time detection.

The escherichia coli can overcome the defects, constructs the escherichia coli which is sensitive and can rapidly detect the heavy metal ions in the water, and lays a foundation for developing a cheap and portable microorganism field detection technology.

Disclosure of Invention

In order to overcome the defects of the prior art, the invention mainly aims to provide a whole-cell biosensor for detecting heavy metal ions in a water-soluble sample.

The invention also aims to provide a construction method of the whole-cell biosensor for detecting heavy metal ions in the water-soluble sample.

The invention also aims to provide the application of the whole-cell biosensor for detecting heavy metal ions in the water-soluble sample.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a method for rapidly detecting heavy metal ions using the whole-cell biosensor. The method has the advantages of convenient operation, high sensitivity, short time consumption, low cost, good visibility and easy quantification.

The microorganisms with heavy metal tolerance can cause the expression of a series of genes related to the heavy metal tolerance when being stimulated by corresponding heavy metals. The expression of these genes is mainly a class of regulatory proteins represented by MerR family proteins, which can activate non-optimal sigma 70-dependent promoters, whose-35 and-10 regions differ by a number of bases greater than the optimal length of 17 ± 1bp that can be recognized by the sigma 70 factor. When MerR protein is specifically combined with mercury ions, the configuration of the promoter can be changed, so that the promoter can be correctly recognized by sigma 70 factor, and the transcription of downstream genes is started. The invention uses MerR protein and a promoter regulated by the MerR protein and the like to control the expression of a downstream reporter gene and realize the qualitative and quantitative detection of heavy metal ions in the environment.

The lambda phage of E.coli is one of the most well studied and widely used phages at present. The genes causing cell lysis in bacteriophage include S, R and Rz, wherein the R gene encodes a water-soluble transglycosylase (transglycosylase) enzyme that causes hydrolysis of peptide bonds, breaking down peptidoglycan of cell wall. The product of the Rz gene may be an endopeptidase (endopeptidase) which cleaves the linkage between peptidoglycan and oligosaccharides and/or between peptidoglycan and the outer membrane of the cell wall. The products of both the R and Rz genes function to degrade the cell wall, while the S gene product functions to alter the permeability of the cytoplasmic membrane, forming a porous structure on the cytoplasmic membrane, so that the products of the R and Rz genes pass through the cytoplasmic membrane and act on the cell wall, disrupting the cell wall, releasing the intracellular material.

β -galactosidase (β -galactosidase) is widely present in various microorganisms and is a most mature reporter protein which catalyzes hydrolysis of β -galactoside bond in β -galactoside compounds, and catalyzes blue coloration of X-gal (5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indol β -D-galactoside, 5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indole- β -D-galactoside) hydrolysate, and is easy to observe and detect, and catalyzes hydrolysis of oNPG (o-Nitrophenyl- β -D-Galactopyranoside, o-Nitrophenyl β -D-Galactopyranoside) with yellow color, and reaction of β -galactosidase with oNPG is commonly used in activity test of β -galactosidase.

(6) The method can provide technical support for daily heavy metal pollution detection and sudden heavy metal pollution detection.

Drawings

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the construction of a heavy metal-responsive vector.

FIG. 2 shows the change of the turbidity of the bacterial liquid when different detection bacteria are exposed to different heavy metal ion water samples for 0.5 hour.

FIG. 3 shows the extracellular β -galactosidase enzyme activity after each test bacterium was contacted with different heavy metal ions.

FIG. 4 is a color development gel image of each test bacterium when it is contacted with heavy metal ions of different concentrations for 0.5 hour. Wherein 1, 2 and 3 represent repeated samples respectively.

FIG. 5 is a standard curve of heavy metal ion developing gel.
