Figure 2

Cross-sections of E. coli bacteria producing rSMD viewed under the transmission electron microscope (TEM). A. Examination of E. coli BL21-Gold (DE3) cells cultured under controlled pH 7.5. B. TEM micrographs of E. coli BL21-Gold (DE3) cells cultured under uncontrolled pH. Cells harvested at non-induced time (left) (scale bars 2.0 μm), 5 h post-induction (middle), and 20 h post-induction (right) (scale bars of 0.5 and 1.0 μm). Inclusion bodies are marked with arrowheads.
