Abstract
This study presented the expression of the outer membrane protein N in E. coli BL21 (DE3) Omp8 Rosetta under its growth condition and by osmoregulation. The effects of osmotic stress caused by salts, sugars, or pH values on the survival of the target Gram-negative bacterial strain of E. coli BL21 (DE3) Omp8 Rosetta and OmpN expression remain unknown. Here, tryptone yeast extract with varied salts and concentrations was initially used to generate an LB broth medium. To show how salts and concentration affect bacterial growth, the optical density at 600 nm was measured. The findings supported the hypothesis that salts and concentrations control bacterial growth. Moreover, a Western blotting study revealed that OmpN overexpression was present in all tested salts after stimulation with both glucose and fructose after being treated individually with anti-OmpN and anti-histidine tag polyclonal antibodies on transferred nitrocellulose membrane containing crude OmpN. Following the presence of the plasmid pET21b(+)/ompN-BOR into E. coli BL21 (DE3) Omp8 Rosetta, which was expressed in the recombinant OmpN protein (BOR), OmpN expression was demonstrated for all monovalent cations as well as MgCl2. All of the tested salts, except for BaCl2, NaH2PO4, and KH2PO4, showed overexpression of recombinant BOR after Isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) induction. Using CH3COONa, both with and without IPTG induction, there was very little bacterial growth and no OmpN expression. With NaCl, a pH value of 7 was suitable for bacterial development, whereas KCl required a pH value of 8. According to this research, bacterial growth in addition to salts, sugars, and pH values influences how the OmpN protein is produced.
