This step aims to allow the bacterial liquid to grow and proliferate under suitable temperature and agitation conditions. Inoculate 1% volume of the cultured liquid into 100 mL LB, 37 °C, 220 rpm, 2 hours: Take out 1% (by volume) of the liquid cultured in the previous step and add it to a large container containing 100 mL of LB medium.</p> <p align="justify" style="text-indent: 2em;">Then, continue to culture it at 37 °C and 220 rpm for 2 hours. This step aims to scale up the volume of the bacterial liquid to provide more cells for expression. 0.1 mM IPTG, 20 °C, 180 rpm, 24 hours: Add IPTG (Isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside) at a concentration of 0.1 millimolar to the culture medium to induce the expression of the target protein. Next, continue to culture it at 20 °C and 180 rpm for 24 hours. IPTG is a synthetic compound that can mimic signals bacteria receive in their natural environment, thus triggering the expression of the target protein. E. coli cells were harvested by centrifugation at 11600 g for 10 min at 4 °C, and then washed twice with proper buffer (pH 7.5). The washed cells were resuspended in 50 mM potassium phosphate buffer (pH 8.0) and disrupted by sonication (10-sec pulse on, 15-sec pulse off, AMP 20%). </p> <div class="saut_1_ligne"></div> <figure> <img alt="photo" class="w-40 mx-auto d-block" src="./images/fig18.png"> <figcaption> <center style="font-size: 18px;"><b>Figure 13.</b> The picture on the left is Bs2Est and the image on the right is BSLA. </center> </figcaption> </figure> <div class="saut_1_ligne"></div> <h3>3.Week 3-4</h3> <ol> <li>DESs resistance profiles and kinetic characterization of BSLA and Bs2Est variants</li> </ol> <p align="justify" style="text-indent: 2em;">Pre-culture and master culture of all beneficial mutants of BSLA and Bs2Est.
