RESULTS

What about chelation ?
Nickel(II) chelated for each of the constructions (WT, HIS1, HIS2) is evaluated by using dimethylglyoxime (DMG) as the precipitating reagent. This is achieved by using absorbing properties of DMG-Ni(II) pink-colored complex (peak absorption at 554nm).
Here are the outcomes.

Safety
To get rid of biosafety issues linked with GMO, we worked on destroying our bacteria after letting them grow in a biofilm. Curli proteins being very resistant to environmental changes, our goal was to obtain a biomaterial made out of modified Curli able to chelate nickel.
To find the best way to degrade bacteria and DNA, the following protocol was used to test the influence of UV light and temperature separately :
Wells containing M63 cultures of strain 227 were put under UV light / at 60 or 70°C for different lengths of time. Well contents were then gradually transferred into Eppendorf and diluted (100, 300, 900 and 2700 times).
LB plates (without antibiotic) corresponding to UV/temperature exposure times (+ one plate for control) were then spotted with s227 different concentrations in order to be able to count survival bacteria after incubation at 37°C.
Genomic DNA was extracted from s227 concentrated culture. From the solution obtained, Curli promoter(750 bp) was amplified by PCR with Q5 polymerase and designed primers.
Epifluorescence observations were made after Back Light coloration with 200µL s227 liquid cultures.
