Abstract  The ATP-binding cassette transporter protein (ABCT) in cells plays a crucial role in the tolerance of toxic substances, which participates in bacterial growth and the elimination of toxic compounds. Bacillus safensis ST7 has strong manganese oxidation ability, and the ABCT (Gene ID: 46572106) was significantly upregulated under manganese stress, which may be related to the manganese tolerance of Bacillus safensis. In order to analyze the role of ABCT in manganese stress in B. safensis, PCR, qPCR, and SDS-PAGE methods were used to clone the ABCT gene in B. safensis ST7. Overexpression vectors were constructed and transformed into Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). The growth curve, biofilm formation ability, manganese tolerance, and manganese oxidation activity of the recombinant strain were measured to investigate the effect of heterologous expression of the ABCT gene on the manganese tolerance and manganese oxidation activity of E. coli. The results showed that the recombinant strain carried the complete ABCT gene, and the expression level of the recombinant plasmid pET28a-ABCT was significantly upregulated in BL21(DE3) cells (P<0.05). Its growth was not affected, and its biofilm formation ability was enhanced. Under manganese stress, the expression of ABCT gene increased by 1.41 times, with time and concentration dependence. Compared with the control strain, the recombinant strain showed an increase of over 1.5 times in manganese tolerance concentration and manganese oxidation activity. The results suggested that the ABCT gene of B. safensis ST7 was involved in the manganese transport and biofilm formation process in E. coli. Overexpression of this gene could enhance the oxidative activity and tolerance of E. coli cells to manganese (Ⅱ). This study is important for the development and application of manganese-oxidizing bacteria.
