Hirschia baltica

We chose the BL21(DE3) strain for adjustable and efficient expression of target proteins since the system's proteins were best expressed in this strain. Given the lack of time, we went with conditions optimized beforehand in earlier experiments for the whole pathway expression: temperature of 37°C, induction with 0.5 mM IPTG concentration, and expression for 3 hours.

After SDS-PAGE gel analysis, we concluded that we successfully expressed HfsG, HfsH, HfsK, and HfsL proteins from H. baltica.

HfsL is visible on the right side of the gel (Fig. 1).

Protein Name	Size (kDa)
HfsG	37
HfsH	29
HfsJ	41
HfsK	28
HfsL	36
