Figure 6From: The small heat-shock proteins IbpA and IbpB reduce the stress load of recombinant Escherichia coli and delay degradation of inclusion bodiesDegradation of α-glucosidase after production at 42°C. Cultures of ibpAB deletion mutant (white square), wildtype strain without (grey circle) or with ibpAB overproduction (black triangle) produced α-glucosidase for two hours at 42°C and were transferred to 30°C after addition of tetracycline. Degradational loss of α-glucosidase is shown relative to the amount of α-glucosidase present at the time of tetracycline addition. Time is given in hours after induction.Back to article page
