- | The SacC gene from <i> Zymomonas mobilis </i> was PCR amplified with the primers S1PSF: 5’-GAATT CGCGG CCGCT TCTAG AGGAG CTCAT GTTTA ATTTT AATGC CAGTC GC-3’, S1PSR 5’-CTGCA GCGGC CGCTA CTAGT AGCTA GCGTA TTTGC GACGA TCAGG G-3’ | + | The SacC gene from <i> Zymomonas mobilis </i> was PCR amplified with the primers S1PSF: 5’-GAATT CGCGG CCGCT TCTAG AGGAG CTCAT GTTTA ATTTT AATGC CAGTC GC-3’, S1PSR 5’-CTGCA GCGGC CGCTA CTAGT AGCTA GCGTA TTTGC GACGA TCAGG G-3’. The amplification mixture for 50 mL contained 1U of Platinum Taq HF polymerase (Invitrogen), 60 mM Tris-SO<sub>4</sub>, 18 mM Ammonium Sulfate, 0.2 mM for each dNTP, 2 mM MgSO<sub>4</sub>, 2 mM of forward and reverse primers. PCR was performed in an MultiGene (Labnet) thermocycler using the following program: 94 ºC for 5 min, 35 cycles of 94 ºC for 45 s, 56.4 ºC for 30 s, and 68 ºC for 1 min, and finally an extension step at 68 ºC for 5 min. The PCR product was first sub-cloned in pGEM T Easy Vector (Promega) and added to the registry (<a href="http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K633003">BBa_K633003</a>). |

The expected DNA fragment of the ompA + sacC construct was confirmed by several restriction endonuclease reactions, and used to transform the <i>Escherichia coli</i> strains BL21SI, Rosetta Gami, XL1 Blue, C43 and BW27783. The <i>E. coli</i> strains BL21SI, Rosetta Gami, XL1 Blue, and C43 were obtained from Invitrogen, Novagen, Agilent and Lucigen, respectively, and the strain BW27783 was donated by <a href="https://2010.igem.org/Team:Tec-Monterrey">Tec-Monterrey 2010</a>. |

The initial optical density at 600 nm (OD<sub>600</sub>) was 0.1, from there the batch cultures were incubated at 37°C until an OD<sub>600</sub> of 0.6 was attained. The expression was induced with 0.1mM of L-arabinose and the temperature of postinduction was changed to 15 °C. Culture samples collected from the bioreactor were harvested by centrifugation. Half the volume was used for the whole cell assay and the other half was processed with Clontech x-Tractor kit (Clontech) to obtain the soluble and insoluble fractions of each strain. Both fractions were separated by a 10% SDS-PAGE and visualized with GelCode Blue Stain Reagent (Thermo). |
