Abstract/Artist Statement
MaSp1 is a protein that can be made happily in the well-known Escherichia coli. This protein can be expressed in small 10mL E. coli cultures, and detected through the process of SDS page electrophoresis. Although micro scale secretion of MaSp1 has been successful, for further studies, mass production of this protein will be needed. We will be using the Bio-Flo 415 Fermentor to test whether or not MaSp1 can be expressed in large quantities.
