Multiple Mini Expressions: Optimizing protein yield

  • Today we are testing multiple growth conditions of our bl21 cells for total cell and protein yield. Parameters we are optimizing are iptg concentration, and growth temperature.
IPTG concentration/Temp 37C 30C
0.1 mM
0.5 mM
1.0 mM
2.0 mM
  • We will test these different conditions using the following protocol
  1. Grow up a starter culture using glycerol stock #1 of our silk in BL21 to an OD of around 1. (4 to 5 hours)
  2. Add 50 ul of starter culture to 5 ml of LB starting around 5 pm.
