<h3>Project Description</h3>
+
<p>Cyanobacteria release microcystin LR(MCLR), the most common of microcystin(MC), which is toxic to human and can lead to severe diseases such as liver cancer(Shimizu 2011). Massive reproduction of cyanobacteria has occurred throughout the world and caused serious water quality problem, such as the case of Taihu Lake in 2007. MCLR are structurally stable to withstand physicochemical and biological stresses, including pH, temperature, sunlight and common enzymes, under natural conditions (Harada 1996; Okano et al. 2006). Neither can common water filtering process successfully get rid of it, meaning that only those natural MC-degrading bacterias is capable of degrading MCLR. Studying the degradation process is thus critical to address the water quality problem brought by MCLR. Among 10-more species of such bacteria, our group intends to research on the strand Sphingomonas sp, which possess a MC-degrading pathway that involves 3 genes: mrl A mrl B mrl C that works in a sequential chain reaction(Shimizu 2011) and an additional gene, mrl D, whose product is speculated to aid the transport of MCLR or its degradation process(Bourne, 2001). The MRL A enzyme first linearize the ring-form MCLR, then MRLB cut it into Tetrapeptide, following by the further hydrolysis of Tetra-Peptide into smaller peptides, such as Adda, illustrated by the graph below.(Bourne, 2001). Previous studies have also shown that MCLR can induce the expression of all 3 genes, while linearized MCLR,tetrapeptide and Adda only stimulate the expression of mlr A and mlrB (Shimizu 2011). Being familiar with these information, our group aims to explore on how different combination of these genes can affect the MCLR degradation rates, so that a more efficient degrading model mabe be established.</p>

OUR THEME

CyanoElimination: The lysis of Cyanobacteria in freshwater ecosystem using Cyanophage lysozyme and its commercial implications.

Let us introduce you to....

The rampant growth of cyanobacteria in freshwater ecosystem has become more than an environmental issue. Their incredible ability to multiply and voracious consumption of oxygen often make them a disturbing factor to natural systems. We realized during public outreach that although effective ways to gather and salvage cyanobacteria have been developed, there are barely any success in decomposing these bacteria.

Our team identified a cyanophagelysozyme, cp-OS lysozyme 1. Alone with other chemicals such as bugbuster, this lysozyme in small reaction systems could lyse the cyanobacteria effectively. Through a series of experiments, we were able to acquire the recombinant protein from E. coli cells. Our modeling helped us to find the best experimental conditions for a prototype device which would contribute to a system of cyanobacteria elimination. Our research lays foundation for the utilization of cyanobacteria components in agricultural, bioenergetic, and even medical fields.
