Genetically Modified E. coli as an Alternative Biosensor of Cyanide and Cyanide Compounds
Proyect Description
Cyanide is consedered an extremely harmful toxic for the enviroment and living organism since it inhibits the cellular respiration at the level of electron transport chain. In the industrial sector, cyanide is used to produce paper, paints, textiles and plastics. It is also very common in the mining industry as a way to recover metals.
Due to its application and toxicity, it is necessary to monitor and keep the cyanide at subtoxic level. In this project, we are generating a new alternative by using genetic engineering to modify E. coli genetically. We will incorporate genes that will allow the bacteria to become a biosensor with the capacity to detect the presence of cyanide and cyanide compounds by adding the expression of a reporter gene (RFP) under the control of a promoter inducible by these compunds. This genes comes from the bacteria Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes.
Sed laoreet aliquam leo. Ut tellus dolor, dapibget, elementum vel, cursus eleifend, elit. Aenean auctor
wisi et ur liquam erat volutpat.
