1-Overexpression optimization
A. Expression vector comparison (pKK versus pTriEx)
When we compare the below results, the expression of pTriEx vector is higher than the expression of pTriEx vector.

Expression in BL21 with pTriEx
In this expression experiment, we obtained 2 different bands in BL21 pTriEx from BL21 negative control as indicated gel photo. CooA is found in two form (monomer and dimer).

Expression in JM109 and BL21 with pKK vector
In this expriment, for the first time we want to try CooA pKK vector in BL21. The vector was sent by Aono and he advised us to express it in JM109. But we have failed to express it. So we tried it in BL21. We have no result with JM109 and a little expression in BL21. Therefore; we gave up from expressing pKK vector in BL21. And JM109 grows slowly,also we never see any band in JM109 crude lysate in many unpublished data. Therefore; we lysated all bacteria with same OD600. But result wasn't changed.
B. Expression host comparison (JM109 versus BL21)
When we look at the experiment 10/10/5, there is no expression with pKK in JM109 and we have greyed bands belongs to CooA as indicated gel photo of 10/10/5 experiment.
C. IPTG induction studies
Expression comparison with different IPTG Concentration of pTriEx vector
10/10/10
In expression comparison with IPTG concentration experiment, we realized that our CooA pTriEx vector is expressed without IPTG induction however when the cultures were induced with IPTG the expression incresed a little. Thus, we concluded that IPTG concentration doesn't much affect our expression yield. However, when 2mM IPTG was added to culture,expression of CooA was decreased. It has probably a toxic affect on our bacteria.
