  1. E. coli cells carrying the recombinant pET24Δ-mBCO plasmid were grown at 37°C, BCO expression was induced by 1 mM IPTG at OD600 nm = 1.5-2 and harvested after 18 hours at different temperatures. G: glycerol. +G, +Pi: media added of glycerol (8 mL/L) and/or phosphate salts (70 mM), respectively; +4G and +20G: media added of 4 mL/L and 20 mL/L glycerol, respectively; -G, -Pi: media deprived of glycerol and/or phosphate salts, respectively. Data are expressed as mean ± S.D., n = 3.
