Dh. Han et al., DIRECT RECOVERY OF INTRACELLULAR PROTEINS FROM CANDIDA-UTILIS USING REVERSE MICELLES IN COMBINATION WITH A REDUCING AGENT, Biotechnology techniques, 7(8), 1993, pp. 545-550
Intracellular proteins were directly extracted from Candida utilis usi
ng reverse micelles in combination with a reducing agent. Extraction a
t pH 10 using 80 mM cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) and 0.2 %
2-mercaptoethanol was the most favorable condition for cell permeabili
zation and protein solubilization. Stripping at pH 7 in the presence o
f 0.5 M KCl resulted in the efficient recovery of solubilized proteins
.
