Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of environmental pollution remediation, and specifically relates to a method for coupling a heavy metal sensing module and an aerobic sulfate reduction module to achieve precise green remediation of environmental heavy metal pollutants. The method uses environmental microorganisms as chassis microorganisms and utilizes synthetic biology technology to couple heavy metal sensing pathways and aerobic sulfate reduction pathways to achieve in-situ precise remediation of environmental heavy metals. Background Art
[0002] Heavy metal pollution can lead to the destruction of soil structure, the decline of biodiversity, the inhibition of soil microbial activity, and serious impacts on the self-purification capacity of soil and the quality and yield of crops. Therefore, controlling the migration of heavy metal ions in the environment is of great significance to maintaining ecological security and environmental health.
[0003] The existing technology has adopted a variety of methods to deal with environmental heavy metal pollution, including physical methods, chemical methods and biological methods. The physical method mainly reduces the bioavailability of heavy metals by soil replacement and solidification, but the cost is high and causes secondary pollution. Chemical methods include the use of chemical reagents for precipitation, complexation, etc. Although these methods have fast processing speeds, they are often costly, difficult to sustain, and prone to secondary environmental pollution. Therefore, biological methods, especially microbial remediation methods, are considered to be a green, environmentally friendly and low-cost way to remediate heavy metal pollution due to their ability to absorb and transform heavy metals.
[0004] Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria (SRB) are a type of anaerobic bacteria that can use sulfate as an electron acceptor to perform sulfate respiration. SRB can be widely distributed in anaerobic habitats rich in organic matter and sulfate, such as soil, seawater, river water underground pipelines, oil and gas wells, flooded rice field soil, river and lake sediments, and swamp mud. Previous studies have mainly found that SRB produces S through the dissimilatory sulfate reduction pathway. 2- It can passivate heavy metals into insoluble metal sulfides, thereby reducing the environmental migration of heavy metals. However, SRB is an obligate anaerobe, and its growth conditions require a strict anaerobic environment, which greatly limits its application scenarios in actual environments. 2- It can also be produced through the assimilative sulfate reduction process to synthesize cysteine and methionine, and the assimilative sulfate reduction pathway does not require strict anaerobic conditions. However, there are still the following difficulties in solving the problem of heavy metal pollution control through this aerobic assimilative sulfate reduction pathway: (1) Unlike dissimilatory sulfate reduction, the assimilative sulfate reduction pathway process is strictly inhibited by negative feedback from cysteine. Therefore, conventional bacteria almost do not produce and secrete S 2-(2) In the actual environment, the aerobic assimilation sulfate reduction pathway will indiscriminately precipitate various metal ions, thus causing potential adverse effects on the ecological environment and environmental health. Therefore, the current application of sulfate-reducing bacteria in the in situ remediation of environmental heavy metals is severely limited.
[0005] In order to achieve green and low-carbon remediation of environmental heavy metals, microorganisms are used to produce S 2- Converting heavy metals into insoluble metal sulfides is an important approach. Therefore, using synthetic biology strategies to develop new sulfate-reducing microorganisms and achieve controllable and efficient sulfate reduction under aerobic conditions will have important application value for in situ bioremediation and green management of heavy metals in my country's environment. Summary of the invention
[0006] In order to solve the bottleneck problem of the current sulfate-reducing bacteria in the remediation of heavy metal pollution in the environment, the present invention, based on the synthetic biology strategy, introduces two unique enzymes through genetic engineering technology to construct an aerobic sulfate reduction pathway: (1) serine acetyltransferase (CysE) which is insensitive to negative feedback inhibition of cysteine. 768 ), which directs sulfate reduction to generate excess cysteine; (2) cdsH, encoding cysteine desulfurase (CdsH), converts excess cysteine into S 2- At the same time, by introducing a heavy metal sensing module to control the aerobic sulfate reduction process, a "sensing and controlling integrated" genetic module was constructed, and it was transformed into environmental microorganisms to construct a new heavy metal remediation engineering strain. When the engineering strain senses the presence of heavy metals, it can directly use sulfate in the environment as a sulfur source and produce S through aerobic reduction pathways. 2- , converting heavy metal ions into insoluble metal sulfides, thereby achieving green and low-carbon remediation of heavy metal pollution.
[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:
[0008] A method for coupling a heavy metal sensing module and an aerobic sulfate reduction module to achieve precise green remediation of environmental heavy metal pollutants. Through synthetic biology strategies, the heavy metal sensing module and the aerobic sulfate reduction module are coupled to each other to construct a heavy metal "sensing and controlling integrated" module, and the module is used to transform environmental microorganisms and construct a heavy metal remediation engineering strain; the engineering strain can specifically turn on the expression of the aerobic sulfate reduction module according to the type of environmental heavy metal pollution, thereby converting heavy metal ions into stable metal sulfides, and achieving in-situ green and low-carbon remediation of environmental heavy metal pollutants. The steps are as follows:
[0009] (1) Through gene editing, CysE, which is not affected by cysteine negative feedback inhibition, is 768The protein combines with the CdsH protein that can convert cysteine into H2S to construct an aerobic sulfate reduction module;

[0013] The specific steps of the present invention are:
[0014] (1) The cysE gene was cloned from the E. coli genome to construct the shuttle plasmid pBF-cysE; primers were designed to mutate the cysE gene, mutating the base G at 768 bp to A, and constructing the shuttle plasmid pBF-cysE 768 ; Synthesize the cdsH gene and integrate it into the shuttle plasmid pBF-cysE 768 , construct the recombinant plasmid pBF-P lac -cdsH-cysE 768 , and removed the endogenous promoter gspA of the cdsH gene to obtain the assimilation sulfate reduction module; the recombinant plasmid was introduced into E. coli DH5α or S. oneidensis MR-1 by electroporation and conjugation transfer for functional verification.
[0015] (2) Synthesize or amplify heavy metal sensing protein genes from different sources and the corresponding inducible promoters to construct the recombinant plasmid pBF-P lac -XP X -egfp, to obtain the heavy metal sensing module; where X represents different types of heavy metal sensing protein genes, P X Represents an inducible promoter regulated by heavy metal sensing protein; the recombinant plasmid was introduced into E.coli DH5α by electroporation and conjugation transfer, and the green fluorescence signal was used to detect the specificity and sensitivity of the sensing protein.

[0017] (3) The constructed heavy metal sensing module and aerobic sulfate reduction module were coupled into an integrated sensing and control repair module by homologous recombination. The recombinant plasmid was introduced into E. coli DH5α or S. oneidensis MR-1 by electroporation and conjugation transfer, and the integrated repair module was verified. After successful verification, it was transferred to environmental microorganisms by CRISPR gene editing technology to construct a new sulfate reduction engineered strain.

[0036] The present invention obtains the recombinant plasmid pBF-P by genetic engineering method lac -cdsH-cysE 768 , and the endogenous promoter gspA of the cdsH gene was removed to express CysE in E. coli DH5α and S. oneidensis MR-1 768 and CdsH proteins, successfully releasing S through the assimilation sulfate reduction pathway under aerobic conditions. 2- .
[0037] The present invention obtains the recombinant plasmid pBF-XP by genetic engineering method X -cdsH-cysE 768 , which can respond to the induction of corresponding heavy metal ions and turn on the expression of the sulfate reduction module.
[0038] The engineered strain obtained by the invention can precipitate heavy metal ions to form stable heavy metal sulfides, and the removal rates of different types of heavy metal ions are all as high as over 70%.
[0039] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0040] (1) The aerobic sulfate reduction module avoids the dissimilatory sulfate reduction pathway used by conventional sulfate-reducing bacteria and instead uses a synthetic biology strategy to transform the serine acetyltransferase mutant gene cysE 768 It integrates with cysteine desulfurase cdsH to convert sulfate into S via the assimilatory reduction pathway. 2- This method avoids the anaerobic environment required for dissimilatory sulfate reduction and the degradation of cysteine in the aerobic sulfate assimilation pathway. 2- The severe negative feedback inhibition generated by the reaction enables it to achieve aerobic reduction of sulfate and S 2- Efficient production of for in-situ solidification of heavy metals.
[0041] (2) The “sensing and control integrated” module can select specific heavy metal sensing modules according to the category of heavy metals in the environment. When the heavy metal exceeds the sensing threshold, the sulfate reduction module begins to be expressed to perform in-situ solidification of the heavy metal. When the heavy metal is lower than the sensing threshold, the sulfate reduction module is shut down, thereby achieving accurate sensing and precise remediation of heavy metals in the environment.
[0042] (3) The constructed heavy metal remediation strain can directly utilize sulfate that is ubiquitous in the environment without the need to add additional sulfur sources; when heavy metals exceed the perception threshold, the engineered strain can convert sulfate into S 2- , thereby achieving in-situ passivation and fixation of environmental heavy metals.
[0043] (4) Ordinary sulfate-reducing bacteria are absolute anaerobes and can only perform dissimilatory sulfate reduction under absolute anaerobic conditions. Their absolute anaerobic characteristics severely limit their application in practical environments. The assimilative sulfate reduction module constructed by the present invention can achieve efficient sulfate reduction under aerobic conditions to produce S 2- , thus achieving the passivation and fixation of heavy metals. This significantly enhances the environmental adaptability of the repair strain.
[0044] (5) The sulfate reduction process of common sulfate-reducing bacteria is uncontrollable, making it difficult to achieve accurate repair of environmental heavy metals. The present invention places the sulfate reduction module under the control of the heavy metal sensing module. Only when specific heavy metals are present will the sulfate reduction process of the repair strain be turned on, thereby achieving accurate perception and precise control of heavy metal pollution.
