Project Capture

1. Introduction/Background

Methods to capture insects in the nature

Fig.1

In the nature, organisms capture and eat insects by various ways. For example, spiders make cobwebs to capture insects. Nepenthes has pitchers which lure and trap insects. Pyrearinus termitilluminans, which makes and lives in a tunnel around the external surface of the anthill of termite Cornitermes cumulansand, emits light in the first week of the rainy season to lure and hunt the termites.

What is the feasible method to capture insects for Carnivorous E. coli?

Fig.2 : Drowning drosophilas

However, the feasible methods to capture insects for Carnivorous E. coli are limited. Because Escherichia coli moves very slowly and can only exist in the form of colonies on an agar plate or in liquid culture medium, it cannot exist in the form of complicated shapes. Considering these features of E.coli, one way for Carnivorous E. coli to capture insects is to lure the insects to itself, and bind them on the colonies or drown them in the liquid medium.

We noticed that drosophilas sometimes drown in electrophoresis tanks. Hence we are convinced that a liquid medium is a feasible and simple way to capture insects. If E.coli can lure insects(drosophilas), it can capture them.

Ways to lure insects

There are different ways to lure insects: smell, pheromone, and light. Smell is a popular way to attract insects, as seen in some plants. For example, the Rafflesia attracts flies by it's distinctive odor like rotting flesh. Pheromone is a secreted or excreted chemical factor that triggers social responses in members of the same species. It is effective in very low concentration, and there are some pheromones which have different functions: aggregation, alarm, territory, and so on. Light is also a way to lure some kinds of insects by appealing to their phototaxis. Moths and flies have phototaxis. A few species use light to lure insects: Cornitermes cumulansand and Arachnocampa use light to hunt insects.

In this study, we focus on using light as the method to lure insects (drosophilas) because of the following reasons:

Lighting is a visible action and we think that it is suitable for our purpose to create animal-like E. coli.
There is an available biobrick which has the function to emit light: BBa_K3225909 created by iGEM 2010 Cambridge Team.

2. Light as a method to lure drosophilas

Drosophila melanogaster

We chose Drosophila melanogaster as one of Carnivorous E. coli’s prey, and our model organism. D. melanogaster has a positive phototaxis, lives all over Japan, and they are small (the length of its body is only a few millimeters). Besides that, it is one of the popular model organisms and available for us.

Suitable wavelength of the light to lure drosophilas

Fig.3

According to the article [1], drosophila melanogaster has a strong positive phototaxis to the light of wavelength shorter than 500nm.(Fig.3)

BBa_K325909, one of the biobricks created by iGEM 2010 Cambridge Team, is the lux operon from the Viblio fischeri which can be used as a L-arabinose --> blue light devise. There is a graph which shows the spectrum of light emitted by V. fischeri in 2010 Cambridge Team's WIKI(--> link). The peak wavelength is about 500 nm and we can see that the large part of light emitted by BBa_K325909 is in the range of wavelength suitable to lure drosophilas.

3. Experiment 1 --- Drosophila's phototaxis in different colors

We made an experiment about drosophila's phototaxis to the lights of different colors(ultraviolet, blue, green, red, and infrared) to show that our assay with a Y-maze is reliable.

In the Y-maze, There are two diodes at the two ends of the both sides; one is lighting and the other is not lighting. In an assay, we gathered 5 flies with a pooter and put them into the bottom end of the Y maze. After 3 minutes, we counted the number of the flies in each side. (read the materials and methods in detail)

Fig.4 : The method of the experiment with Y-maze

The results of these surveys can be summarized as follows (Vertical axis of these graphs indicates the average number of flies. error bars correspond to the standard deviation.) :

Fig.5 : This experiment were performed at UV light.

Fig.6 : This experiment were performed at blue light.

Fig.7 : This experiment were performed at green light.

Fig.8 : This experiment were performed at red light.

Fig.9 : This experiment were performed at infra-red light.

In all of these results, the number of flies in light sides is larger than those in the opposite sides. After we run the t test and chi-squared test of those data at a significance level of 5%, it was revealed that the flies gathered significantly at the LED end under UV light, blue light and green light. On the other hand, when red light was used, the difference between the 2 ends was negligible. This is consistent with the results reported by [2] that drosophilas have a strong positive phototaxis to the light of wavelength shorter than 500nm. It means that our assay of drosophila's phototaxis with Y-maze is a certain assay.

Experiment 2 --- Assay of drosophila's phototaxis to the light emitted by E.coli

We confirmed that our assay with Y-maze is reliable by experiment 1, and we intended to assay the phototaxis to the light emitted by E.coli. But unfortunately, we couldn't make strong and stable light; some of our E.coli lighted weakly and others didn't. Besides, our lighting E.coli lost its light soon.

Fig.11 : Cambridge 2010 Team's lighting E.coli(E.growli) extracted from Cambridge 2010 team's WIKI

Fig.12 : This experiment were performed at weakgreen light. Vertical axis indicates the average number of flies.

Instead, we covered a green LED with black film and make it light as weak as our E.coli, and we assayed with the weak green LED by the Y-maze. Here is the result. Unfortunately, the significant difference was not observed. We think that it is because the intensity of the emitted light was too weak. However, as you can see, iGEM 2010 Cambridge team succeeded to make E.coli emit light and to reinforce the intensity of the light. We think that if our E.coli can emit brighter light like them, the assay will show the significant difference.

-Phototaxis of ''Drosophila melanogaster'' against lights of different wavelengths from --nm to --nm and weak luminescence emitted by Luxbrick(BBa_K325909, iGEM Cambridge2010) were evaluated. ''Drosophila melanogaster'' was chosen as the object for our research on insect's phototaxis because of its popularity among Japanese houses, the facility or easiness of it's breeding and it's genetical identity which results in the similar behavior. From the result of our research, ''Drosophila melanogaster'' was demonstrated to be a good ammoniacal source for genetically modified bacteria.

+===Methods to capture insects in the nature===
-In the nature, there are some organisms which lure insects. Rafflesia[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafflesia] attracts flies by it's distinctive corrupt smell like rotting flesh. ''Pyrearinus termitilluminans'', which makes and lives in a tunnel around the eternal surface of the anthill of termite ''Cornitermes cumulansand'', emits light in the first week of the rainy season to lure and hunt the termites. Arachnocampa also uses light to hunt flies.

-''Escherichia coli'' is usually cultured in the rich nutrient medium because it originally lives in the gut of animals. However, this restriction can be overcome by genetic engineering. For the first step to make E.coli autotrophic, we resolved the problem of ammonia source. Many insects have some kinds of taxis. Taking advantage of their behaviors, we can enable ''E.coli'' to catch insects. The taxis of moth toward the pheromone is one of the famous example of chemotaxis, but it is difficult to enable ''E.coli'' to synthesize complex compounds like pheromone. Thus, we chose phototaxis. Drosophila has been reported to have phototaxis. Our project targeted flies(''Drosophila melanogaster'') as the model ammoniacal source because of its popularity among Japanese houses, the facility or easiness of it's breeding and it's genetical identity which results in the similar behavior. We introduced to E.coli, the LuxBrick(BBa_K3225909) created by the iGEM 2010 Cambridge team to emit light in normal E. coli strains without the addition of any external substrate.
-Although, it is well known that ''D. melanogaster'' is phototactic, it was not clear whether it is lured by the weak light especially emitted by E.coli. To confirm this, we first demonstrated the phototaxis with the Y maze experiment, with several LEDs. Y maze was put up vertically to gain the significant results employing the geotaxis of ''D. melanogaster''.
