Table 1 Induction strategies and influence on EPA-2a yield

From: In vivo production of a novel glycoconjugate vaccine against Shigella flexneri 2a in recombinant Escherichia coli: identification of stimulating factors for in vivo glycosylation

Order of induction

Specific EPA-2a yield (A450 nm/OD 600 )

Simultaneous

  1. EPA-2a expressing cells were incubated at 30°C. Cultures were induced either simultaneously with 1 mM IPTG and 2 g/L arabinose, or EPA was induced 2 h prior to PglB (1. EPA 2. PglB) or vice versa by the addition of 1 mM IPTG and 2 g/L arabinose. Values were obtained based on OD600-normalized periplasmic extracts.
