Abstract

Escherichia coli isolate pe88, which showed positive to Stx2c toxin by PCR analysis was selected for the present study. The protein from E. coli culture was subjected to salting out by ammonium sulphate precipitation till the saturation followed by dialysis using 1% sucrose solution for overnight. Further purification of protein from the isolate was carried out by ion-exchange chromatography. Column was developed using DEAE Cellulose for anion and Sephrose for cation exchanger. Elution buffer was used as mobile phase. Procedures were performed at room temperature. Elutions collected every five minutes were subjected to protein estimation by Lowry’s method using Bovine Serum Albumin as standard. The elution of protein from the isolate pe88 was subjected to SDS-PAGE using standarded molecular weight marker. The sample showed a single band close to 74 kDa after purification by column chromatography.
