    Brief Answers to Safety Questions

    Welcome to our Safety Page. We will first answer the safety questions asked by iGEM headquarters briefly, and then discuss safety issues associated with our project in detail. In addition, we will provide our ideas and practice on guaranteeing and developing biosafety.

    Q1. Would any of your project ideas raise safety issues in terms of: Researcher safety, public safety, or environmental safety?
    No. Our design is based on the commonly used nonpathogenic E. coli K.12 strain and genes we manipulated are original genes in E. coli. The protein products, at least from current understanding, will cause no harm to researchers, the public and environment. In addition, strict lab practice is executed to further ensure safety.

    Q2. Do any of the new BioBrick parts (or devices) that you made this year raise any safety issues? If yes,
    Did you document these issues in the Registry?
    How did you manage to handle the safety issue?
    How could other teams learn from your experience?

    Yes, we will discuss this question in latter part of this page (Safety Considerations of Our Biobrick parts and Our Project).

    Q3. Is there a local biosafety group, committee, or review board at your institution?
    If yes, what does your local biosafety group think about your project?
    If no, which specific biosafety rules or guidelines do you have to consider in your country?

    Yes. All materials obtained have received the approvals from the department's laboratory management committees. We are also obliged to observe the regulations of Teaching Centre of Experimental Biology and apply for approval for materials before we start our project.

    Q4. Do you have any other ideas how to deal with safety issues that could be useful for future iGEM competitions? How could parts, devices and systems be made even safer through biosafety engineering?
    Some classified measures should be taken according to the safety of the material. For example, plasmids that may harm the safety, when submitted, should receive more attention and have a stricter package. Some harmful byproducts during experiments should be eliminated properly.
    We have done our human practice aiming at understanding attitude of the public towards genetically modified baceria and publicizing biosafety ideas to the public, which we think should be popularized to other teams in future iGEM competitions.

    General Safety Issues

    In this part, we will illustrate organisms, reagents and equipments we use that may cause safety problems, and introduce our operation standard, management and trains protecting the team members, public and environment.
    As above, all the organisms and DNA hosts are not of high individual or community risk. Until now, the only used organism is E. coli K.12 (and some of its varieties, for example, DH5α, a RecA mutated strain). Our current lab of basic-biosafety level 1 is safe enough to manipulate this strain. Only the genome (a generous present from University of Dundee iGEM team), but not the living Salmonella enterica was manipulated in the lab, and the genes from it are homogeneous of E. coli K.12, not associated with pathogenesis. We will not implement our future experimental plan with microorganisms of risk group 2 or vertebrates in our current lab, for too low is the biosafety level and no animal facilities.
    To manipulate microorganisms, an ultra clean cabinet is used and strict aseptic technique is followed. All experimenters have been trained on foundation microbiology technique and biosafety. All microorganism contacting vessels are sterilized before and after experiments in appropriate protocols. Also, all microorganism materials will be sterilized before discarded. In this way, we believe that no public or environmental harm will be caused by the experimental organisms. In addition, no one in our team will be hurt by the experimental organisms.
    The genetic modifications we make will change metabolism of bacteria. However, there is no evidence both theoretically and experimentally that these modifications will improve the pathogenicity of the bacteria or cause damage to environment even taking the risk of horizontal gene transfer into consideration. The effects of expressing gene adrA regarding infectivity and pathogenicity on E. coli is not clear now, but it still can be easily controlled in the lab environment without human ingestion. Also, we will insert a death device into the bacteria cell when we construct the whole system (still far from now) to avoid the proliferation out of control. For more information about gene safety, please read the next section and documents of our relevant parts on registry.

    We have considered the potential harmful chemicals and equipments, as listed below:

    • Basic molecular experiments: NaOH, HCl, SDS, acrylamide, TEMED, ethanol, IPTG, liquid nitrogen, β-mercaptoethanol, xylene cyanol FF.

    • Bacteria culture: ampicillin, kanamycin, chloramphenicol.

    • Chemical analysis and measurements: acetone, cupric acetate, Sudan III, Congo red, Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250, Coomassie Brilliant Blue R-250.

    • Equipments: UV lamp, supercentrifuge, heating equipments (alcohol burner, PCR amplifier, water bath, dry bath), electrophoresis apparatus, -80℃ refrigerator, ultrasonic cell disruptor.


    All of these are regular reagents and apparatus in a molecular biology laboratory. The risks of them come from inflammability, explosibility, irritation, corrosivity, toxicity, carcinogenicity and physical injury. But none of them raises special safety issue, with chemical hood, emergency shower, normal personal protection, safety management and safety training.
    Only trace amount of antibiotics are used. Inactivated will they be before discared.

    Emergency ShowerEmergency Shower

    Safety Considerations of Our Biobrick parts and Our Project

    In this section, we are going to answer safety question 2 in detail, taking the potential risk in the future into concern.
    The main safety challenge we must face is that as a practical bacteria therapy our direction is, we shall demonstrate that the “E. coslim” will not harm its host when it is developed completely. As few experiments we can do in such limited time, we have done a series of theoretical work to solve problems in this field. Intestine-colonized pathogenic E. coli may cause immune responses, following by diarrhea, inflammation and fever (although the strain we use is considered non-pathogen). Thus we plan to transplant the whole synthetic system to another organism (for example, Bacillus subtilis, has proved safe in human intestine). We know that it is hard as the two organisms are very different on transcriptional mechanisms, but we believe the work of establishing model system (that is what we are doing) in E. coli will make it easier. Also, as the rapid development of synthetic biology and gut microbiology, we hope in the near future, we can modify the genome of E. coli to change it a safe intestine microbe.
    Another risk is that when the engineered bacteria get higher efficiency on energy production, they could proliferate out of control. To forestall this situation, we design a “death” device (for more information, click on Death) using D-xylose as inducer. It means if you want to stop weight losing, what you have to do is to eat some D-xylose, and the “E. coslim” will die, shed from the intestinal wall and be poured out. What is more, designed as a two-plasmid system, it prevents all possible horizontal gene transfers.
    Further safety issues will be raised and discussed in future experiments, including those operates in intestinal model and animals (For more information, click on Future Perspectives).

    Safety Management and Practice

    Our project has past a review of an expert committee, of which members are professors or associate professors of microbiology, genetics and bioengineering. Safety issues are considered seriously before they approved our design. We have consulted a few experts for safety questions about both artificial intestinal bacteria and experiments. Their advices help us improve the safety of the whole planning system. For that, we thank Dr. Yulan Wang and Dr. Tiangang Liu so much. Our lab is supervised by Teaching Centre of Experimental Biology, Wuhan University (TCEB, whose leader is our instructor Dr. Zhixiong Xie). An expert group of this centre formulates safety guidelines and guarantees their performance in all teaching labs. All experiments we do past its review. Our safety management system includes the followings: Management of Chemicals, Equipments and Experimenters: Chemicals and equipments are registered in TCEB before they are available for us. Equipments are checked and maintained regular. And an entrance guard system is used to ensure only the admitted could enter the lab.

    • Responsibility distribution: All members worked in the lab are divided to three groups. The group leaders arrange schedules of experiments after assessing safety issues in the group (for example, the safety train of the experimental executer). Every member records his/her experiments in detail in the notebook of the group. Each group takes responses for cleaning and checking risks in the lab in turns. The group leader takes responses to the team leader. The team leader reports regular on safety to engineer Miss Long Yan, who is authorized by TCEB and manages the lab.
    • Management of Chemicals, Equipments and Experimenters: Chemicals and equipments are registered in TCEB before they are available for us. Equipments are checked and maintained regular. And an entrance guard system is used to ensure only the admitted could enter the lab.
    • Training: Our team members have been trained after Guidance of Student Experiments formulated by TCEB.

    Biosafety and Publicity

    We believe that biosafety is not an issue which should be only considered inside biological lab, but also around people and communities. Spreading knowledge of biosafety to the public will help eliminate misunderstanding and prejudice, from which the science and all the people will benefit. We hope that sharing this idea with all iGEM teams can be useful to take advantage on biosafety.
    To investigate public attitude towards our project and to publicize our biosafety ideas are what we do for our human practice. As “eating bacteria” is somehow an unacceptable concept now, we would like to find whether people know the truth about biosafety issues raised by bioengineered bacteria, or they are just panicked by their imaginary “bacteria”. And then, after initiating basic knowledge of microbiology, gene engineering and synthetic biology, we shall take a look on if people’s opinion to biosafety issues will change. In this way, we will estimate the value of our scientific publicity.
    The rational discussions of biosafety we take with the public do not limited on our project, but also hotspot issues such as transgenics and stem cell therapies. For more information, please click on Human Practice.

    Introducing a Simplified Intestinal ModelIntroducing a Simplified Intestinal Model

    Protocol for fluorescence measurement

    Minimal Medium

    M9:

    For 1L Medium add

    Na2HPO4·12H2O 15g

    KH2PO4 3g

    NaCl 1g

    NH4Cl 0.5g

    After autoclaving, add:

    MgSO4(1mol/L) 2mL

    Bacteria strain:CaCl2 100μL

    Triton X-100 (as emulsifier) 2uL


    Note

    1.For M9 medium using oleic acid as sole carbon source, various amount of oleic acid was first emulsified 1:1 with 10% Triton X-100. M9 medium was then slowly added with constant vortex. M9 medium with high concentration of oleic acid was diluted by M9 medium with triton to form various concentrations;

    2. For M9 medium using glucose as sole carbon source, M9 medium with high concentration of glucose was diluted by M9 medium to form various concentrations.

    Step

    1. Seed liquor which was activated over night was inoculated into M9 medium which contains different concentration of oleic acid. And it was then incubated at 37℃ for 24 hours;

    2. After 24h of incubation in 24 well plates in 37℃, bacteria culture was centrifuged at 3000rmp for 5min, washed and resuspended in PBS;

    3. We detected the OD600 and fluorescence of using SpectraMax M2 plate reader (Molecular Devices) .Excitation at 584 nm and emission at 607 nm were used. All fluorescence was normalized with cell density by measuring the absorbance at 600 nm.

    Protocols of Cupric-Soap Reaction

    To test metabolism of long fatty acids, we used oleic acid as sole carbon source in mediums, and used cupric-soap reaction to determinate oleic acid concentration preliminarily.

    Modified M9 minimal medium with emulsified oleic acid as sole carbon

    Minimal medium was the same with that in Materials and methods for PfadR

    What's Important:

    Slowly pour M9 minimal medium into mixture of oleic acid and Triton X-100 to get more homogeneous solution.

    Analysis the concentration of the oleic acid in the medium by cupric-acetate method

    Step

    1.Collect 5 ml medium which has been used to cultivate bacteria. Then centrifuge the medium at 3000rpm for 10 min to separate bacteria and medium;

    2.Decant 3ml supernatant liquid into a 10ml EP. Add 3ml acetone to the liquid, 1ml at a time, shaking 10-20 times before adding another 1 ml in order to avoid the effect of the ions of the liquid during the extraction progress;

    3.Add 3 ml isooctane once ,shaking for at least 90s, stand for 2min or longer until layering completely;

    4.Collect 3 ml clear isooctane in a 5 ml EP, Add 800?l cupric-acetate (5% m/v, adjust pH to 6.8 with pyridine), Shaking for 90 seconds, stand for 2min or longer until layering completely;

    5.Detect OD of organic phase in a spectrometry at 715nm.

    The Standard Curve

    We add 1.6ml, 3.2ml, 4.8ml, 6.4ml, 9.6ml, 11.2ml oleic acid into 3ml M9 medium to generate a gradient. The absorbency is measured as described in the protocol.

    Guidence of Student Experiments

    We slightly modified the methods provided by Kwon and Rhee, 1986, adding the extraction step, for it is indispensable when bacteria are in the medium. The standard curve is still very close to that of the paper's, which proves the applicability and accuracy of our modified protocol.

    Brainstorming

    About E.coslim by Kuanwei Sheng

    In order to help people lose weight, besides our three devices, we also have come up with many other creative ways.

    Ⅰ.Short chain peptides synthesis

    Recent researches have indicated that some short chain peptides in intestine have effect on inhibiting appetites, therefore decrease the food intake. We thus formed the idea that we could synthesis a DNA chain that encodes those short peptides.

    Ⅱ.Biosynthesis of L-carnitine

    L-carnitine is a molecule that facilitates the progress of transporting fatty acids into mitochondria where these fatty acids will be disintegrated. We once considered use L-carnitine to help the host metabolize fatty acid better. However, the biosynthesis of L-carnitine has too many derivatives or the pathway is patented by others.

    Ⅲ.Xylose isomerase

    Xylose is a prebiotics that can hardly be absorbed by human. We consulted many papers and find that glucose can be converted into xylose by xylose isomerase. Therefore, we thought maybe we could lower the glucose available in intestine by expressing xylose isomerase. However, this process is shown to be reversible latter. Mutated the sequence of the protein may generate high converting rate, yet it is too laborious and risky for a short time project.

    Other novel ideas

    Tackle Water bloom by Tong Wang and Kuanwei Sheng

    Since the detrimental effects caused by cyanobacteria to the environment such as making water carcinogenic have become a serve global problem, we therefore tried to employ E.coli as an expression system to eliminate these detrimental effects. When we first took over this project, we thought about limiting the growth of cyanobacteria. Along with the process we got to read a large amount of relevant papers about cyanobacteria, we found that not only the main detrimental effects caused by cyanobacteria is attributed to its product which is a cyclic peptide called microcystin, but also microcystin can regulate the population density. Then we came to realize the importance of microcystin and began to search information about it. Through over this process, we discovered a gene cluster which is responsible for the microcystin degradation pathway. It encodes four enzymes——MlrA、MlrB、MlrC and MlrD. Also, we found that some non-toxic cyclic peptides produced by cyanobacteria such as Anabaenopeptin B and Anabaenopeptin F can induce lysis of cyanobacteria. The latter finding can be utilized as an effective cell population density control mechanism. Thus we thought about constructing two independent systems to eliminate cyanobacteria, one about inducing lysis of cyanobacteria and the other about degrading microcystin. Finally we gave up this project because of the reasons that these gene clusters are too large to be expressed in E.coli and that E.coli cannot survive in the sea, however, we still feel proud of these fancy ideas.

    Desalination of sea water by Kuanwei Sheng

    We came up with the thought that engineering bacteria can intake ions like Na+, cl-, Mg2+ and etc. under special stimulus. Also, under another certain stimulus, the bacteria can export those salts out of cells for reuse. Therefore, we can use these bacteria to desalinize sea water and extract the salt the same time. However, there is no such ion channel that can meet our needs.

    Sense the earthquake By Min Ye

    We once tried to find proteins that can sense vibration and construct a pathway to report that vibration. However, we are not able to find the protein that can meet our needs.

    Auto plasmid preps By Kuanwei Sheng

    We thought about constructing a synthetic protein that combines zinc finger protein which can recognize the specific sequence of DNA and signal peptide that can make proteins be exported out of the bacteria by secretion pathway. Therefore, it is possible that plasmid can be exported out the cells together with the zinc finger protein.

    Outer Membrane Vesicle (OMV) to treat cancer By Kuanwei Sheng

    We thought to use Outer Membrane Vesicle (OMV) to treat cancer. Specifically, we thought about localizing antibody that can recognize certain cancer on the surface of OMVs via signal peptides. Also, we thought we may localize cell division inhibitor protein or protein that lead to cell death inside the OMVs. Therefore, we hoped that the OMV excreted by the bacteria can recognize and kill cancer cells.

    Multicell Yeast By Wenxiong Zhou


    Transform the yeast from a single-cell microbe to a multi-cell organism by setting bistability of gene expression among cells of yeasts adhered in amalgamation.

    To kill superbacteria

    Now with the spread usage of the antibiotics, many bacteria adopt ability to fight against the antibiotics. And now it’s a big problem that antibiotics are no longer useful as before. So to kill these bacteria, Jing and her group thinks they can device some proteins or artificial micromachine to detect DNA that code proteins contributing to the ability to degenerate antibiotics. And then by transferring these plasmids coding artificial proteins or micromachines, they can inhibit the expression of enzymes or proteins degenerating antibiotics.

    A Letter from Fancy

    There is a very meaningful sentence in the novel The Lord of the Ring: when the respected old Billbo was going to leave the village in which he had lived for many years, he gave a lecture--”The people among you whom I recognize haven’t reached half whom I should do, besides, among those whom I love are less than the half I should do, either.

    None of us need to fight in a war or fight with monsters. However, all of us have indeed fought and stuck to the very end, regardless of whatever obstacles to overcome and whatever precious to sacrifice.

    The greatness lies in the persistence to do the ordinary things perfectly. We are all inspired by our design. However, the gap between the repetitive, seemingly endless molecular cloning and the last magic probiotic can easily wreck the passion. To the opposite, most of us have successfully endured the monotonous life. Sometimes the enzymes just don’t function well. Other times the PCR never get right for some unclear reasons. We just survived those really despair moments and made one step closer to our goal.

    And those heart-touching scenes are clear as if they happened yesterday. Regardless of our persuation to wait for the rain to stop, our captain determined to fetch the induction cooker in his dormitory to perform an reaction as soon as possible (We don’t have an appropriate heater in our lab). When his figure disappeared in the dark and rain, words failed me; when I got a message at 3 o’ clock in the midnight, the excited tune claiming that we no longer needed to worry about our competent cells overwhelmed me with tears; when I heard that our “artist” having caught a cold but promised that he would complete all the pictures of the web site in time, I fell into silence again; every time when Xian Xia stayed overnight in the lab, the room would be quite tidy and all the reagents would got replenished. When I saw this in the next morning, I was greatly touched.

    Most of us has sacrificed much time to pursue personal interest. We just decrease the time for required exams for going abroad, for working in our own labs, and for some courses we are really interested in, let alone our hobbies. No time for travelling, reading lasted paper on interested topics, shopping, chatting with friends and so on. However, after the complaints and anguish, we finally reached such a peaceful and simple spiritual state that we just want to try our best to get the best result.

    A man who never experienced iGEM in WHU can never really understand the complex of feelings: glory and dream, perseverance and persistence, joy and tears. You can never image how brave and respected my teammates are, how many efforts and love they have put in the team, and how strong the relationship we have built since the team has been organised.
