Optimizing expression and solubility of proteins in E. coli using modified media and induction parameters

Taylor, Troy, Denson, John-Paul, Esposito, Dominic·2017·Methods in Molecular Biology

Abstract

The major goal of any protein expression experiment is to combine the maximum production per cell of soluble protein with the highest possible cell density to most efficiently obtain high yields of protein. A large number of parameters can be optimized in these experiments, but one of the most interesting parameters that have a strong effect on both per cell productivity and cell density is the cellular growth media coupled to the expression induction process. Using specialized media and testing multiple induction conditions, it is possible to significantly enhance the production of heterologous proteins from E. coli.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • E. coli has fast growth rate (doubling time 20 min), low cost, easiness of genetic manipulation, well-known molecular features, good productivity, and simple fermentation process development for manufacturing scale-up, making it an affordable expression system for recombinant protein.

    “Given the fast growth rate (doubling time is 20 min), the low cost (the medium is inexpensive), the easiness of genetic manipulation, the well-known molecular features, the good productivity and the simple fermentation process development for manufacturing scale-up, this microorganism represents an affordable expression system for recombinant protein [43,44,45,46].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
