Problems solved by technology

However, any system capable of rapidly responding to today's complex and diverse situations including the unintentional production and environmental release of toxic chemicals typified by trihalomethanes and dioxins has not yet been organized
The animal experiments used in the toxic substance evaluation method of the "Law Concerning Examination and Manufacture of Chemical Substances, etc." are expensive and time-consuming, and are not recognized in the world
Thus, although control systems have been continuously discussed, they have not been successfully implemented because they cannot solve the problem

Embodiment 1

[0068] The following experiments were performed to check which yeast genes are suitable for detecting toxic substances.

[0069] Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C(α SUC2mal mel gap2CUP1)) was cultured on a YPD medium (yeast extract 1%, polypeptone 2%, glucose 2%) at 25°C. One of the toxic chemicals was added to the cells in logarithmic growth phase and the cells were incubated for an additional 2 hours. Cells were cultured under the same conditions without any chemical substances, which were used as controls. The concentration of the chemical was limited to inhibit yeast growth but not cause death.

[0070]

[0071]

[0072] 1) 41.0% N-(phosphonic acid methyl) ammonium glycinate, 59.0% surfactant

[0073] After the culture was completed, the culture was centrifuged to collect the cells. Sodium acetate buffer (50 mM sodium acetate, 10 mM EDTA, 1% SDS) was added to these cells, and the mixture was shaken at 65°C for 5 minutes and then returned to room temperature to...

Embodiment 2

[0161] Primers for PCR for amplifying a polynucleotide comprising a promoter of yeast gene YKL071w by PCR were prepared. Primers were designed using primer design software (Oligo4.0-S, Sequencher I Mackintosh version). The base sequence of the upstream primer is:

[0162] cgcaataatactggaaacatcaa (serial number: 2),

[0163] And the base sequence of the downstream primer is:

[0164] atcgactttgtttgcttagaat (serial number: 3).

[0165] For PCR, yeast chromosome (Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C, Cat. 40802, Research Genetics, Inc.) was used as a template, and a commercial kit (KODDNA Polymerase; No. KOD-101, Toyobo) was used as a reagent.

[0166] The YEp-type shuttle vector pYES2 (pYES2, Cat no: V825-20, Invirtogen Corporation, USA) capable of replicating in Escherichia coli and yeast was used as a vector (R.W.Old, S.B. Primrose Principles of Gene Manipulation 5th Ed., BAIFUKANCO., LTD, pp138-165, pp.234-263, 2000). A portion of the vector pQBI 63 (Cat no. 54-008...

Embodiment 3

[0179] The transformed yeast produced in Example 2 was grown to a steady state by shaking culture in SD medium (adenine, histidine, tryptophan, leucine) at 25°C.

[0180] The steady-state yeast was diluted 500-fold with SD medium, and cultured with shaking at 25°C for 15 hours. After confirming the logarithmic growth phase with absorbance at 600 nm of 0.2-0.5, different concentrations of TPN were added. Solutions containing final concentrations of 0.0053 ppm, 0.053 ppm and 0.53 ppm were defined as solutions A, B and C, respectively.

[0181] In addition, as a reference solution, a solution without TPN was defined as standard solution S.

[0182] Put sample solution A, B or C into figure 2 The chemical species measurement system shown in the block diagram is placed in the first cell, and then starts measuring the amount of dissolved oxygen.

Abstract

It is intended to provide a convenient and less expensive assay method by which the presence or content of a chemical in an environmental sample can be determined without resorting to such an expensive assay device as in the fluorometry. More particularly speaking, an assay method characterized in that use is made of a recombinant cell which has been transformed by operably linking a polynucleotide encoding an oxidoreductase to the downstream of a promoter gene employed for monitoring which shows a change in the promoter activity in response to the chemical.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a biological detection method for detecting chemical substances using an oxygen electrode. The invention also relates to transformed cells and devices useful in the method. Background technique [0002] From 1974 to 1998, Japan's Environmental Agency conducted a tracking survey of environmental chemical substances every year for 24 consecutive years. The survey results revealed that about 40% of the 775 chemical substances that have been investigated so far have been discharged into the environment. It is estimated that about 50,000 kinds of chemical substances are currently industrially produced in Japan, and the production scale and types of chemical substances are increasing year by year. Environmentally polluting chemicals are known to be inadvertently produced when chlorine-based water treatment and incineration are utilized. It is predicted from such a fact that a large number of chemical substances accumulate in the en...
