E. coli K‐12 strains, plasmids, and promoter fragments used in this study are listed in Table S1 and oligonucleotide primers are in Table S2. Strains were grown in lysogeny broth (LB) (Sigma), Lennox broth (2% (w/v) peptone (Oxoid), 1% (w/v) yeast extract (Oxoid) and 170 mM NaCl), minimal salts medium (Squire et al., 2009 (link)) (minimal salts with 0.4% glycerol, 10% Lennox broth, 20 mM fumarate), or M9 minimal salts media (Sigma), supplemented with 0.36% glucose, 2 mM MgSO4, 0.1 mM CaCl2, all with appropriate antibiotic supplements (ampicillin 100 µg/ml and tetracycline 15 µg/ml).

Protein Expression in E. coli Cultures

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All protein expressions took place at 37 °C in LB media (Lennox broth, Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) supplemented with either 100 μg/ml ampicillin or 100 μg/ml ampicillin and 25 μg/ml chloramphenicol for strains that carry an additional chloramphenicol selectable vector, namely pLysS, pGro7, RosettaGami, and SoluBL21-pLysS. Strains were cultivated overnight at 37 °C in 5 ml of LB media placed in 15 ml conical tubes at an angle of ∼55° with 225 rpm shaking. One milliliter of overnight cultures was used to inoculate 50 ml expression cultures placed in 250 ml Erlenmeyer flasks with 225 rpm shaking. Recombinant protein production was induced with 1 mM isopropyl-β-ᴅ-thiogalactoside (IPTG; Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) when the cultures reached an OD600 of 0.6–0.8, typically 2–3 h after inoculation. For experiments where titer and plasmid maintenance were quantified, expression cultures were harvested 4 h after induction. For experiments that generated 10.25-h growth curves, cells were put through the same procedure as above, but cultures were not harvested until 10.25 h after inoculation.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
