Abstract

Phosphonates (PHTs), organic compounds with a stable C-P bond, are widely distributed in nature. Glyphosate (GP), a synthetic PHT, is extensively used in agriculture and has been linked to various human health issues and environmental damage. Given the prevalence of GP, developing cost-effective, on-site methods for GP detection is key for assessing pollution and reducing exposure risks. We adopted Agrobacterium tumefaciens CHLDO, a natural GP degrader, as a host and the source of genetic parts for constructing PHT biosensors. In this bacterial species, the phn gene cluster, encoding the C-P lyase pathway, is regulated by the PhnF transcriptional repressor. We selected the phnG promoter, which displays a dose-dependent response to GP, to build a set of whole-cell biosensors. Through stepwise genetic optimization of the transcriptional cascade, we created a whole-cell biosensor capable of detecting GP in the 0.25-50 μM range in various samples, including soil and water.

解密农杆菌 CHLDO 对草甘膦的调控反应，以设计全细胞膦酸盐生物传感器。

膦酸盐（PHTs）是一种具有稳定 C-P 键的有机化合物，在自然界中广泛分布。草甘膦（GP）是一种人工合成的 PHT，广泛用于农业，与各种人类健康问题和环境破坏有关。鉴于 GP 的普遍存在，开发具有成本效益的现场 GP 检测方法是评估污染和降低暴露风险的关键。我们采用农杆菌 CHLDO（一种天然的 GP 降解菌）作为构建 PHT 生物传感器的宿主和基因部分来源。在这种细菌中，编码 C-P 裂解酶途径的 phn 基因簇受 PhnF 转录抑制因子调控。我们选择了phnG启动子来构建全细胞生物传感器。通过对转录级联的逐步遗传优化，我们创建了一种全细胞生物传感器，能够检测各种样品（包括土壤和水）中 0.25-50 μM 范围内的 GP。
