Abstract: In order to establish an appropriate ultrasonic treatment method for the recovery of recombinant protein from Pichia pastoris, the activity of human-adiponectin recombinant protein was evaluated by Western Blotting analysis. A L9(33) orthogonal array design based on single-factor tests was employed to optimize the conditions for ultrasonic treatment. The results showed that the optimal ultrasonic treatment conditions were ultrasonic power of 450 W, ultrasonic treatment time of 25 min and ultrasonic treatment interval of 10 s. Under the optimal ultrasonic treatment conditions, the breaking rate of cell walls was (67.8 ± 2.1)%. The activity of human-adiponectin recombinant protein could be significantly improved by adding 1 mmol/L of PMSF although the addition of PMSF had no effect on breaking rate of cell walls.
