Problems solved by technology

First, the detection cycle is long. Although green fluorescent protein has many advantages, it takes a long time to mature, and it usually takes 2 to 3 hours to fully mature, which is not conducive to rapid detection.
Furthermore, the quantification of GFP requires the use of expensive instruments, and the instruments are not easy to carry, which is not conducive to on-site real-time detection

[0116] Example 3 Combined with the semi-quantitative rapid detection of heavy metal ion gel by chromogenic gel method

[0117] 1. Chromogenic gel preparation

[0118] 1.1 Add 0.4g agar powder to 20mL Z buffer, heat it in a microwave oven to dissolve and keep it warm in a 70°C water bath for later use.

[0119] 1.2 Add 40 mg / mL X-gal solution to the above solution to a final concentration of 1 mg / mL, mix well, pipette 200 μL into a 96-well plate, cool and solidify at room temperature, and store at 4°C for later use. It can be stored for more than 3 months.

[0121] According to steps 1-3 of Example 2, the test bacteria were activated, cultured and contacted with the sample to be tested. Take 10 μL of the bacterial solution and add it to the well containing the detection gel, and incubate at 37°C for 30min. With different concentrations of metal ions, the gel will show different shades of blue ( Figure 4 ).

Abstract

The invention discloses a whole-cell biosensor for detecting heavy metal ions in a water-soluble sample and construction and application thereof. The operation object is escherichia coli, no pathogenic risk exists, and the operation is simple and easy to implement. An SRRz cracking gene is used as a report element, so that microbial bacteria are cracked, and the turbidity of bacterial liquid is obviously changed. Detection can be performed through a visible spectrophotometer, and a result can be obtained through direct observation with naked eyes. The response is quick, and only 30-60 minutesare needed from sample contact to result acquisition. X-gal is used for detecting beta-galactosidase released to the outside of the cells, and the operation is simple and convenient. Expensive instruments are not needed in application, so that the detection cost is greatly reduced, and field detection becomes possible. The extracellular beta-galactosidase activity is accurately quantified by usingchromogenic gel containing oNPG, the detection limit is low, and the detection result is accurate. Technical support is provided for daily heavy metal pollution detection and sudden heavy metal pollution detection.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of environmental biotechnology, and in particular relates to a whole-cell biosensor for highly sensitive detection of heavy metal ions (divalent mercury ions or lead ions) in water-soluble samples and its construction and application. Background technique [0002] With the development of industry, heavy metal pollution has become increasingly serious and has become one of the prominent environmental problems. Heavy metals are highly toxic, easy to accumulate in organisms and difficult to degrade, and pose a huge threat to human health after entering the food chain. Therefore, the detection technology of heavy metal ions is particularly important. The detection techniques for heavy metal ions mainly include atomic absorption spectrometry, atomic fluorescence spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma, ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, high performance liquid chromatography, electrochemical analysis, biological detec...
