CCP4bb navigationCCP4bb <-- 1999 <-- November 1999 <-- 30 November 1999Subject: Shredded E coli pellets From: Jacob Keller j-keller2 {- at -} MD {- dot -} NORTHWESTERN {- dot -} EDU Date: 2009-07-02 Dear crystallographers, I recently expressed some new constructs, and found after my usual expression protocol that the cell pellets were not compacted at the bottom corner of the bottles us usual, but were instead smeared as a film on the side, and further, were somewhat clumpy, like clots, and with a smaller pellet in the usual location. The centrifugation was exactly as usual. I noticed that there was also a bit more foam in the medium than usual, but I am not convinced that this was the issue, although it might be a symptom. My suspicion is that the constructs are lethal and cause cell lysis, but I am not sure. Has anybody seen this phenomenon before, and gotten to the bottom of it?
