  1. One liter of culture contained about 3.2 g wet weight cells
  2. a: Total protein was quantified by Bradford assay
  3. b: The amount of fusion protein was calculated based on the following formula: target protein = total protein amount x approximate purity
  4. c: The purities of fusion protein were determined by densitometry analysis of their corresponding SDS gel bands
  5. d: The relative low recovery of DPIP was partially due to the low molecular weight of DPIP (6 kDa) compared to the fusion precursor CBD-intein-DPIP (33 kDa)
