Abstract excerpt
Batch processes for recombinant gene expression in prokaryotic systems should optimally comprise a growth phase with minimal promoter activity followed by a short phase favoring expression. The strong promoter of the tryptophan operon (Ptrp) gives high-level expression of recombinant proteins in E. coli. The inefficiency to control basal expression before induction is however a major obstacle towards the use of...
