Embodiment 1

[0054] Example 1 Functional verification of arsZ gene expression specifically responding to environmental nitrogen signals

[0055] The experimental steps are as follows:

[0056] (1) Activate Pseudomonas stutzeri A1501 bacteria in LB liquid medium, and culture overnight at 30°C;

[0057] (2) Centrifuge the thallus at 4000rpm / 10min the next day, and wash the thallus twice with normal saline;

[0058] (3) Suspend the bacteria with physiological saline and adjust the OD 600 ≈1.0;

[0059] (4) Cultivate the bacteria in the following phases: nitrogen and aerobic conditions (CNO, K medium), nitrogen-free and aerobic conditions (CN - No nitrogen source was added to the O, K medium, and argon was filled to exhaust the air for three minutes, and then 0.5% oxygen was injected), and the OD was adjusted 600 ≈0.5;

[0060] (5) After shaking the culture solution at 30°C for 0.5h, centrifuge at 8000rpm for 5min to collect the bacteria;

[0061] (6) Total bacterial RNA was extracted us...

Embodiment 2

[0067] Example 2 Nitrogenase activity comparison of nitrogen-fixing Pseudomonas stutzeri wild-type strain, arsZ deletion mutant strain and complementing bacterial strain

[0068] 1. Construction of arsZ gene deletion mutant strain in nitrogen-fixing Pseudomonas stutzeri A1501 (P.stutzeri A1501):

[0069] First, the upstream homologous fragment of the target gene, the chloramphenicol resistance box gene, and the downstream homologous fragment of the target gene were fused into a fusion fragment with a size of about 2.1 kb by fusion PCR technology, and then the cloned fragment was subjected to BamH I and Hind III After double enzyme digestion, it was connected to the suicide vector pk18mobsacB. The constructed suicide recombinant plasmid was introduced into the wild-type A1501 bacteria through the method of triparental combination, and the suicide plasmid was integrated into the chromosome through homologous recombination with the gene on the chromosome, and the single-crossover...

Embodiment 4

[0091] Determination of half-life of nitrogenase coding gene nifD mRNA in wild-type and arsZ deletion mutants in embodiment 4

[0092] The experimental steps are as follows:

[0093] (1) Pick a single colony from the plate and inoculate it into fresh LB liquid medium containing corresponding antibiotics, culture at 30° C., 220 rpm, on a shaker overnight.

[0094] (2) Transfer the bacterial solution to fresh nitrogen-free K medium for measuring nitrogenase activity, so that the initial OD 600 is 0.3.

[0095] (3) After 6 hours of induction culture under nitrogen fixation conditions, the nitrogenase activity value was measured and recorded, and at the same time, rifampicin with a final concentration of 200 μg / ml was added to the bacterial solution to inhibit RNA synthesis. After rifampicin was treated for 0, 1, 3, 5, and 7 minutes, centrifuge rapidly at 12,000 g for 2 minutes to remove the supernatant.

[0096] (4) Add 2 times the volume of rifampicin RNA later (Sigma Company...

Abstract

The present invention discovers for the first time a non-coding RNA gene that can be transcribed and has the ability to maintain the nitrogen fixation activity of the strain. The invention finds that the gene can specifically respond to external nitrogen signals, participate in the regulation of nitrogenase activity of nitrogen-fixing Pseudomonas stutzeri, maintain the high-efficiency nitrogen-fixing ability of the strain, and thus can be used to obtain genetic engineering strains with high-efficiency nitrogen-fixing ability.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of genetic engineering, and specifically relates to a gene capable of maintaining high-efficiency nitrogen fixation ability of bacterial strains and its application. Background technique: [0002] Bacterial non-coding RNA is usually located in the protein-coding intergenic region, usually 40-500 nucleotides in size, and can transcribe the RNA sequence, but not translate it into protein. In recent years, studies have found that bacterial non-coding RNA plays an important regulatory role in many life activities of prokaryotes, such as environmental stress, substance metabolism, quorum sensing, and bacterial virulence. [0003] In nitrogen-fixing bacteria, an increasing number of non-coding RNAs have been identified and studied. The functions of these elucidated small RNAs mostly focus on the conserved housekeeping function, the response of nitrogen-fixing bacteria to environmental signals, the resistance to ...
