Abstract. The role of the Escherichia coli lacY gene product (the lactose permease) in the induction of isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) inducible promoters was studied in E. coli and P. fluorescens. This was done by comparing strains containing a lacIPOZYA chromosomal insert with newly constructed strains containing inserts without the lacY gene (lacIPOZ). The lactose operon inserts were introduced as single-copy chromosomal inserts to eliminate differences in expression caused by…

lac operon induction in Escherichia coli: Systematic comparison of IPTG and TMG induction and influence of the transacetylase LacA.
The role of lac operon and lac repressor in the induction using lactose for the expression of periplasmic human interferon-α2b by Escherichia coli
TLDR
The target proteins expressed in uninduced state did not affect the growth, indicating that IFN-α2b was non-toxic to the bacterial cells, and equivalent level of PrIFN- α2b expression was obtained in RG2 (DE3) induced by IPTG and in R2 ( DE3)induced by lactose.
Evidencing the role of lactose permease in IPTG uptake by Escherichia coli in fed-batch high cell density cultures.
Tight Regulation and Modulation via a C1-Regulated Promoter in Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa
TLDR
A novel promoter system regulated by the bacteriophage P1 temperature-sensitive C1 repressor from a broad-host range phage will provide the potential for controlled gene expression in Gram-negative bacteria.
Establishment of a low‐dosage‐IPTG inducible expression system construction method in Escherichia coli
TLDR
A reconstructed IPTG inducible expression system based on lac operon, Promoter(lacO)‐target gene‐PtacL‐lacI, where a modified promoter, Ptac, is switched to instead of PlacI to optimize LacI expression in Escherichia coli is employed.
Galactose induces the expression of penicillin acylase under control of the lac promoter in recombinant Escherichia coli
TLDR
For large scale PA production based on E. coli JM101/pPA102 cultures a culture media with galactose instead of isopropyl-thio-galactopyranoside as inducer would be as successful and less expensive.
Improvement of Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis TAC125 as a Cell Factory: IPTG-Inducible Plasmid Construction and Strain Engineering
TLDR
An integrated approach of plasmid design and strain engineering finalized to increment the recombinant expression and optimize the inducer uptake in PhTAC125 is presented.
Improvement of Cyclodextrin Glycosyltransferase Gene Expression in Escherichia coli by Insertion of Regulatory Sequences Involved in the Promotion of RNA Transcription
TLDR
It is suggested that the insertion of the putative promoter regions upstream of the coding sequence for the construction of CGTase expression system will further enhance in the recombinant enzyme production.
AN OPTIMIZED PROTOCOL FOR OVERPRODUCTION OF RECOMBINANT PROTEIN EXPRESSION IN Escherichia coli
TLDR
Applying the optimized practical protocol, protein production was significantly enhanced in comparison to the traditional IPTG induction method in the absence of a fermentor and can be applied for overexpression of other recombinant proteins.
Short, auto-inducible promoters for well-controlled protein expression in Escherichia coli
TLDR
It is found that the developed mutants of PthrC drove uniform protein expression, and cells carrying them could achieve much higher cell density than those with T7 promoter (PT7), a commonly used inducible promoter.

TLDR
It is shown that the introduction of a lacY mutation facilitated the attainment of steady induction levels of partially induced cells and reduced positive cooperativity in the dependence of expression on the concentration of isopropyl-thio-beta-D-galactoside (the inducer).

TLDR
Examination of over 500 fluorescent Pseudomonas isolates from soil samples revealed the constant absence of the o–nitrophenylgalactoside (ONPG) positive phenotype, and the inability to utilize lactose as a sole carbon source.

Expression vectors for the use of eukaryotic luciferases as bacterial markers with different colors of luminescence
TLDR
Comparison of the expression of each gene in Escherichia coli cells from identical promoters showed that bioluminescence produced by luc could be detected luminometrically in a more sensitive manner and luminescence from intact lucOR-expressing cells was much more stable and resistant to high temperatures than that from luc- expressing cells.
