  What we have to do is insert the genes<em> rhlABRI</em> to <a name="OLE_LINK115"></a><a name="OLE_LINK114">the plasmid pBBR1MCS-2</a>. To accomplice this, we figure out 4 steps as followed.</p>

              <p>  Considering <em>P. aeruginosa</em> SQ6 is a wild-type strain, we retained the genes&rsquo; native promoter from the strain. Comparing the restriction sites of multiple cloning sites of the plasmid pBBR1MCS-2 and the genes<em> rhlABRI</em> including the promoter, we chose the restriction endonuclease sites, <em>Hind III</em> and <em>Sal I</em>.</p>

              <p>Since it&rsquo;s hard to locate and identified the target genes <em>rhlABRI</em> using PCR in the whole-genome of <em>P. aeruginosa</em> SQ6, we compared six<em> rhlABRI</em> sequences from different <em>P. aeruginosa</em> strains, which were completed whole-genome sequencing in the database of NCBI. The GeneBank accession numbers are AE004091, CP000438, AP012280, HM190303, FM209186, and CP002496. On the basis of the terminal conserved regions of the six <em>rhlABRI</em> genes, we designed a pair of <em>rhl</em>ABRI PCR primers named rhl-F/R using the software <em>Oligo</em>. <br>

                The forward primer rhl-F is 5'-GGTCT<u>GTCGAC</u>CGGTTTTTTCATGCCTT-3', with restriction endonuclease site of <em>Sal I</em> (the underlined nucleotide base), and the reverse primer rhl-R is 5'-GATGG<u>AAGCTT</u>GCAGAGAGACTACGCAA-GT-3', with restriction endonuclease site of <em>Hind III</em>.</p>

              <p>  But we failed the first time. Finally, we figured out it might because the genes<em> rhlABRI</em> is GC-rich sequence, so we add 6% DMSO in the PCR system to solve the problem. (DMSO can efficiently reduce the energy involved in the pairing of base G and base C.)<br>

-
                  After cleaning up the <em>rhlABRI</em> PCR products and extracted the plasmid <a name="OLE_LINK117"></a><a name="OLE_LINK116">pBBR1MCS-2</a> from DH5α,we digested the genes <em>rhlABRI </em>and plasmid pBBR1MCS-2 with <em>Sal I </em>and <em>Hind III. </em>On the basis of digestion, we connect the genes <em>rhlABRI </em>and plasmid pBBR1MCS-2 with solution I to construct the recombinant expressing plasmid pBBR1-2rhl. <br>

                DNA fragments and plasmids were purified with a PCR Cleanup Kit (AXYGEN, USA). DNA fragments from the gels were purified with a DNA Gel Extraction Kit (AXYGEN, USA). Plasmids in DH5α was extracted with a Plasmid Miniprep Kit (AXYGEN, USA).</p>

              <p>  The recombinant plasmids pBBR1-2rhl were transformed into E. coli DH5α by CaCl2–heat shock transformation. At first, added all connection product into the competent DH5α cell and flipped to mixture them. Then put it in the ice-bath for 0.5 hour, took it into the 42℃ water-bath for 1.5 minutes and put it back in the ice-bath for 2 minutes. After adding 800ul LB medium, cultured it for 1 hour in 37℃. Finally, took out 200ul to coated plates. After about 10 hours, monoclonal colony was selected to culture in LB medium. Finally, colony PCR was done to verify the plasmid. </p>

                    We transformed pBBR1-2rhl, the constructed plasmid with <em>rhlABRI</em> genes, into <em>E.coli</em> <a name="OLE_LINK16"></a><a name="OLE_LINK15"></a><a name="OLE_LINK14">DH5α</a> by CaCl2-heat shocking transformation. To test the transformation result, we did the bacterial liquid PCR with the primer of <em>rhlR</em> gene. According to the result, the PCR product is around 900 bp, which is exactly the size of <em>rhlR</em> gene. This proves that the plasmid with<em> rhlABRI</em> gene had been successfully <a name="OLE_LINK289"></a><a name="OLE_LINK288">transfected </a>and amplified in<em> E.coli</em> DH5α<em>.</em><br>

According to the result, after 72 hours culture, the growth of <em>E.coli</em> DH5α carrying pBBR1-2rhl had no obvious difference from wild type and pBBR1MCS-2 empty vector, while the surface tension of its fermentation broth has significantly reduced, and the emulsifying ability has remarkably improved.</p>

                <strong>Transformation to<em> Pseudomonas stutzeri</em></strong><br>
+
-
                Transformation method discussion<br>
+
-
                At first we used CaCl2-heat shock transformation to transform plasmid pBBR1<a name="OLE_LINK256"></a><a name="OLE_LINK255">-2rhl</a> into P. stutzeri 10-5, then switched to electroporation because of the low transformation efficiency of the P. stutzeri 10-5 competent cells we made by our own. Although electroporation is generally believed to have a higher transformation efficiency than CaCl2-heat shock transformation, we did not achieve our desired results. According to bacteria liquid PCR result, no <em>rhlABRI</em> copies were found in the culture mixture.<br>
+
-
                *We used electric shock buffer solution and sucrose for two different electroporation protocols, respectively. See Methods below.<br>
+
-
                Different plasmid structures influence transformation efficiency<br>
+
-
                The failure of both chemical transformation and electroporation leads to the discussion of <a name="OLE_LINK2"></a><a name="OLE_LINK1">pBBR1MCS-2</a>, the plasmid backbone that we used in construction of pBBR1-2rhl. Although pBBR1MCS-2 is a high copy and broad host range vector, its great length (5144bp) could affect the transformation efficiency, especially when recombined with the 4407bp <em>rhlABRI</em>. Meanwhile, P. stutzeri 10-5 is an wild strain newly acquired from an natural oil reservoir. Thus, without any genetical modification, P. stutzeri 10-5 may not fit the 9524bp pBBR1-2rhl easily.<br>
+
-
                So we choose two smaller plasmid, pSB1C3 (with chloramphenicol resistance) and pUCP20 (with carbenicillin resistance), for substitute plasmid backbones. To test whether this two plasmids are suitable for P. Stutzeri transformation, two plasmid containing reporter genes, pSB1C3-mRFP1 (BBa_J04450) and pUCP20-mapple, was transformed into P. stutzeri 10-5 via sucrose electroporation, respectively. <br>
+
-
                pSB1C3-mRFP1 is a standard plasmid provided by igem.org to test transformation efficiency of competent cells, while pUCP20-mapple is a recombinant plasmids derived from pUC20 plasmid and is inserted with mapple, an engineered red fluorescence protein coding gene. The reason of choosing pUCP20-mapple for testing is that previous work with<em> P. aeruginosa</em> in our lab had been carried successfully using it. Taking account of the genetic similarities between<em> P.aeruginosa</em> and <em>P.stutzeri</em>, we assume pUCP20-mapple functions in <em>P.stutzeri</em> as well.<br>
+
-
                <br>
+
-
                (pSB1C3-mRFP1)</p>
+
-
              <p align="center">(pUCP20-mapple)<br>
+
-
                According to the result, pSB1C3-mRFP1 transformed bacteria formed colonies on LB agar plate containing chloramphenicol, but the colonies are not visibly red under UV. This result indicated that the plasmid with CamR was possibly transformed into the recipient bacteria, but the promoter of RFP can not be activated. Thus, when constructing <em>rhlABRI</em> with pSB1C3 backbone, we need to select different promoter for the gene to be expressed. In the mean time, pUCP20-mapple transformed bacteria formed colonies on LB agar plate containing carbenicillin as well and the colonies are visibly red under UV, indicating that replacing mapple coding gene with <em>rhlABRI</em> in pUCP20 plasmid can be a possible way to build an expression plasmid suitable for<em> P. stutzeri</em>.<br>
+
-
                Due to limited time, we just finished constructing the pUCP20-rhlABRI plasmid and transformed it into <em>P. stutzeri</em> 10-5 via sucrose electroporation once. Unfortunately, the colonies appeared on LB agar plate containing carbenicillin can not grow in liquid LB containing carbenicillin when picked up, indicating the transformed bacteria are not in good condition.</p>
