<b>1.1. CelD+estA Construction</b>

The celD+estA construction was generated by joining the biobricks of the araC-P<sub>BAD</sub> promoter (<a href="http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_I13458">BBa_I13458 </a>and <a href="http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K206000"> BBa_K206000</a>),  RBS+phoA signal peptide+celD (<a href="http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K633002">BBa_K633002</a>) and linker+estA (<a href="http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K633001">BBa_K633001</a>) with the biobrick standard assembly protocol (<a href="http://ginkgobioworks.com/support/BioBrick_Assembly_Manual.pdf"> Manual</a>). The expected DNA fragment of the celD+estA construct was confirmed by several restriction endonuclease reactions, and used to transform the <i>Escherichia coli</i> strains BL21SI, Rosetta Gami, XL1 Blue, C43 and BW27783. The <i>E. coli</i> strains BL21SI, Rosetta Gami, XL1 Blue, and C43 were obtained from Invitrogen, Novagen, Agilent and Lucigen, respectively, and the strain BW27783 was donated by <a href="https://2010.igem.org/Team:Tec-Monterrey">Tec-Monterrey 2010</a>.

The <i>E. coli</i> strains containing the celD+estA construct and non-transformed strains as negative controls were cultured in 6 mL of LB Miller Broth. The initial optical density at 600 nm (OD<sub>600</sub>) was 0.1, from there the batch cultures were incubated at 37°C until an OD<sub>600</sub> of 0.6 was attained. The expression was induced with 0.1mM of L-arabinose and the temperature of postinduction was changed to 30 °C. Culture samples collected from the bioreactor were harvested by centrifugation. Half the volume was used for the whole cell assay and the other half was processed with Clontech x-Tractor kit (Clontech) to obtain the soluble and insoluble fractions of each strain. Both fractions were separated by a 10% SDS-PAGE and visualized with GelCode Blue Stain Reagent (Thermo).

<p class="textojustif">
 +
The IUPAC Filter Paper Assay was used to determine the celD+estA activity.  The <i>E. coli</i> strain , Rosetta Gami, was used as a host for the expression of the chimeric protein because it has an improved protein folding system. The assay was applied to the whole-cells, but these were also lysated with x-Tractor Cell lysis Buffer (Clontech), which separated them into soluble and insoluble fractions. The negative controls (C-) of all the samples were non-transformed cells. In the whole-cell cellulase activity experiment and in the cellulase activity of cell-lysates experiment, a t-test was done  with an alpha of 0.05 to prove the hypothesis.

The SacC gene from <i> Zymomonas mobilis </i> was PCR amplified with the primers S1PSF: 5’-GAATT CGCGG CCGCT TCTAG AGGAG CTCAT GTTTA ATTTT AATGC CAGTC GC-3’, S1PSR 5’-CTGCA GCGGC CGCTA CTAGT AGCTA GCGTA TTTGC GACGA TCAGG G-3’. The amplified fragment was cloned in pGEM T Easy Vector. The amplification mixture for 50 mL contained 1U of Platinum Taq HF polymerase (Invitrogen), 60 mM Tris-SO<sub>4</sub>, 18 mM Ammonium Sulfate, 0.2 mM for each dNTP, 2 mM MgSO<sub>4</sub>, 2 mM of forward and reverse primers. PCR was performed in an MultiGene (Labnet) thermocycler using the following program: 94 ºC for 5 min, 35 cycles of 94 ºC for 45 s, 56.4 ºC for 30 s, and 68 ºC for 1 min, and finally an extension step at 68 ºC for 5 min. The PCR product was first sub-cloned in pGEM T Easy Vector (Promega) and added to the registry (<a href="http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K633003">BBa_K633003</a>) and then was cloned to in the plasmid pSB1C3 and added to the registry (BBa_...TBD).

The <i>E. coli</i> strains containing the ompA+sacC construct and non-transformed strains as negative controls were cultured in 6 mL of media M9 with glycerol as its unique carbon source.

The expression was induced with 0.1mM of L-arabinose and the temperature of postinduction was changed to 15 °C. Culture samples collected from the bioreactor were harvested by centrifugation.

To determine the ompA+sacC activity, EnzyChromTM Fructose Assay Kit (kindly donated by PhD. Fernández) was used. The <i>E. coli</i> BL21 SI was used for the expression of the fusion protein. The assay was applied to the whole-cells, and non-transformed cells were used as a negative control. A t-test was done with an alpha value of 0.05 to compare fructose concentrations of each sample.
