Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for Research Activity Start-up
We tried to develop a method for controlling bacterial metabolism and for producing useful chemicals by a combination of genetic engineering and electrochemical approaches. An engineered strain of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 with the ability to utilize glucose was constructed and cultivated in electrochemical cells with different electrode potentials. The analysis of transcripts and metabolites revealed the alteration of gene expression and metabolite profiles in response to the change of electrode potentials. We also investigated the regulatory mechanisms for the genes involved in electron transfer to electrodes and identified a transcriptional activator for these genes.
