Abstract
Helicobacter pylori is a major cause of gastric-associated diseases. In our previous study, the Adhesin/CTXA2B was expressed as insoluble recombinant chimeric protein derived from the H. pylori adhesin genetically coupled to CTXA2B subunit in Escherichia coli. Since it is very important to optimize IPTG concentration, culture temperature and composition of medium to maximize cell growth and productivity, these conditional growth factors were determined for increasing the productivity of the expressed Adhesin/CTXA2B chimeric protein in Escherichia coli JM101 carrying pTEDhpa/ctxa2b. Our data demonstrate that optimal medium for increased production of chimeric protein was a YCP/Glu medium composed of 2% yeast extract, 1% casamino acid, phosphate solution [0.3%
