Overview

This page gives a basic overview about our our project Ecolectricity - currently available. A detailed description of our subprojects can be found in our project part of the Wiki.


Project description: The goal of our project is to generate electrical energy with a genetically modified Escherichia coli in a self-constructed fuel cell. Besides the design, construction and technical optimization of the fuel cell, we investigate different genetic approaches. Specific electron transfer proteins have been compiled from a variety of organisms, in order to gain an Escherichia coli Fuel Cell platform, which turns E. coli to an electro active organism. The main challenge is due to an efficient electron transfer from the bacteria to the electrode. Therefore we facilitate and improve electron donation by producing electron-shuttles, so called endogenous mediators, as well as permeabilizing the cell surface by integrating large membrane porins and providing a direct electron pathway by conductive transmembrane protein structures. All these electron transport elements increase electron transfer and bioelectricity generation.



Data for our favorite new parts

  1. <bbpart>BBa_K1172501</bbpart> - OprF – Outer membrane porin from Pseudomonas fluorescens: This outer membrane porin enhances membrane permeability and electron shuttle-mediated extracellular electron transfer for higher bioelectricity output.
  2. <bbpart>BBa_K1172901</bbpart> - Alanin-Racemase from E. coli: Catalizes the reversible isomerization from L-alanine into the enatiomer D-alanine. In an D-alanine auxotrphic strain it can be used as a antibiotic free selection marker.
  3. <bbpart>BBa_K1172303</bbpart> - Riboflavin synthesis gene cluster from Shewanella oneidensis: Short part description.
  4. <bbpart>BBa_K1172909</bbpart> - Biosafety-System S (AraC): Biosafety-System taking advantage of the Alanin-Racemase and the tight repression of the arabinose promoter pBAD by the araC protein.


We have also characterized the following parts (Coding)

  1. <bbpart>BBa_K1172201</bbpart> - GldA - Glycerol dehydrogenase from Escherichia coli: Glycerol dehydrogenase can be used for endogenous mediator production of NADH. Higher amount of electron shuttles improve transfer of electrons from bacteria to the anode and makes the MFC more efficient.

  5. <bbpart>BBa_K1172904</bbpart> - Rnase Ba (Barnase) from Bacillus Amyloliquefaciens: Genetically modified variant that cleaves the intracellular RNA of the host organism.
  6. <bbpart>BBa_K1172916</bbpart> - Double plac-Promoter: Improved repression of the lac promoter by an addtional lacI-binding site, 1.5 whorl downstream of the natural binding site.
