Production

Here all our methods according to cultivation and purification are listed.

Pre-Cultivation

Precultivation of E.Coli KRX (with or without BioBrick)

  • 50 mL LB-medium, if nessassary with 20-60 mg L-1 chloramphenicol or with 100-300 mg L-1 ampicillin, in 300 mL shaking flask with baffles (Schott) with silicon plugs
  • 1 mL Glycerinculture or 1 colony
  • Cultivation temperature: 37 °C
  • Shaking at 140 rpm

Precultivation of E.Coli Rosetta Gami 2 (with or without BioBrick)

  • 50 mL LB-medium with 60 mg L-1 chloramphenicol and with 300 mg L-1 ampicillin, in 300 mL shaking flask with baffles (Schott) with silicon plugs
  • 1 mL Glycerinculture or 1 colony
  • Cultivation temperature: 37 °C
  • Shaking at 140 rpm

Precultivation of Pichia Pastoris GS115 (complex-medium)

  • 50 mL YPD-medium in 300 mL shaking flask with baffles (Schott) with silicon plugs
  • 1 mL Glycerinculture or 1 colony
  • Cultivation temperature: 30 °C
  • Shaking at 140 rpm

Precultivation of Pichia Pastoris GS115 (minimal-medium)

  • 50 mL YNB-medium in 300 mL shaking flask with baffles (Schott) with silicon plugs
  • 1 mL Glycerinculture or 1 colony
  • Cultivation temperature: 30 °C
  • Shaking at 140 rpm

Cultivation

Expression of Laccase

  • Chassis: Promega's E.Coli KRX
  • Medium: Autoinduction-Medium supplemented with Chloramphenicol (final concentration 60 μg mL-1)

Cultivation with E. coli KRX in shaking flask(with baffles):

  • 200 mL culture in 1000 mL shaking flask with baffles (Schott) with silicon plugs
  • Cultivation temperature: 37 °C
  • Autoinduction-medium with 20-60 mg L-1 chloramphenicol and if nessassary with 100-300 mg L-1 ampicillin
  • Shaking at 140 rpm
  • for characterizations: automatic sampling every 30 min

Bioreactor cultivations with E. coli KRX

To obtain higher amounts and concentration of proteins we cultivated and expressed in a bioreactor. It is possible to cultivate several liters and to control temperature, pH and pO_2.

  • Bioreactor: Braun Biostat B Bioreactor (3L), Infors Labfors Bioreactor (3L), Bioengineering NLF22 Bioreactor (7 L),
  • Autoinduction-medium with 60 mg L-1 chloramphenicol
  • Culture volume: 3,0-6,0 L
  • Starting OD600: 0.1 - 0.2
  • Airflow: 5 NL/min
  • pO2-Control: 30 % airsaturation (controlled with stirrer cascade starting with 200 rpm)
    • pO2=100% calibration with 300rpm
  • pH: 7.0 (controlled with 2M phosphoric acid and 2 M NaOH)
  • Antifoam: BASF pluronic PE-8100
  • Harvest after 12-13 h

Cell Harvesting

  • Harvest cells by centrifugation at 10,000 g for 10 min at 4 °C
  • if the purification should start the next day store the cell pellet at 4°C !(the laccase must not be frozen!)
  • Resuspend the pellet in 5 mL special buffer or binding buffer for each gramm of cell paste

Solubilization of inclusion bodies

  • centrifugation of the celllysate at 40,000 g for 30 minutes
  • resuspend the pellet of the lysate in 1 mL 6M Urea solution, incubation for 1 hour
  • centrifugation for 10 minutes at 10,000 rpm
  • resuspend the pellet in SDS running buffer

Mechanical lysis

The method of choice to disrupt the cells depends on the amount of biomass.

Mechanical lysis of the (shaking flask) cultivation

  • Sonification of the re-suspended pellet on ice
    • cycle number depends on the volume of the re-suspended cells (e.g. 3 mL means 3 cycles)
    • one cycle means sonification treatment for 1,5 min with Sonifier 450 by Branson, max. 50 %, cooled on ice, make sure not to heat the cells too much

Mechanical lysis of the (bio-reactor) cultivation

Cell disruption with a high-pressure homogenizer:

  • high-pressure homogenisation with a Rannie Homogenizer:
  • disruption of the cells by 3 cycles with cooling phases between the cycles, pressure = 1200 bar, make sure not to heat the cells too much

Purification

His-tag affinity chromatography


Used Chromatographycolumns:
