Based on the genome sequence and natural transformation system of Synechocystis sp. PCC6803, ftn A（encoding ferritin） was selected as our target gene and was cloned into wild-type Synechocystis sp. PCC6803. Tests at the molecular level confirmed the successful construction of the engineered Synechocystis sp. PCC6803-ftn A. After Fe3＋-EDTA pulsing, the intracellular iron content of Synechocystis sp. PCC6803-ftn A was significantly enhanced, and the algae was used in the microbial contamination control system. In the coupled Synechocystis sp. PCC6803-ftn A production and municipal wastewater（MW, including Scenedesmus obliquus and Bacillus） treatment, Synechocystis sp. PCC6803-ftn A accounted for all of the microbial activity and significantly increased from 70% of the microbial community to 95%.These results revealed that while the stored iron in the Synechocystis sp. PCC6803-ftn A cells was used for growth and reproduction of this microalga in the MW, the growth of other microbes was inhibited because of the iron limitation, and these results provide a new method for microbial contamination control during a coupling process.展开更多
