Genetic Engineering-Facilitated Coassembly of Synthetic Bacterial Cells and Magnetic Nanoparticles for Efficient Heavy Metal Removal

Abstract: Heavy-metal pollution is becoming a worldwide problem severely threatening our health and ecosystem. In this study, we constructed a genetic-engineering-driven coassembly of synthetic bacterial cells and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) for capturing heavy metals. The Escherichia coli cells were genetically engineered by introducing a de novo synthetic heavy-metal-capturing gene (encoding a protein SynHMB containing a six-histidine tag, two cystine-rich peptides, and a metallothionein sequence) and a synthetic ty… Show more

“…The bacterial cell-mediated nanoadsorbent method certified to remove about 98.13% (Cr) and 98.76% (Pb) that were discharged from pharmaceutical industries as waste effluents. The possibility of nanobioremediation of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) in the soil by the mutual exploitation of Escherichia coli along with metal NPs towards the elimination of these heavy metals (Zhu et al, 2020).…”
