Three-phase partitioning of cells was carried out by mixing t-butanol and ammonium sulfate with aqueous suspension of cells. Permeabilized cells formed the interface between aqueous and alcohol layers. A preincubation step in which cells were exposed to just t-butanol was found to tune the selectivity of permeabilized cells of Thermus thermophilus,Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Escherichia coli. Smaller proteins (green fluorescent protein and lipase with molecular weights of 29 and 34 kDa, respectively) were released with preincubation of 15 min, and penicillin G acylase (∼85 kDa) was released with preincubation of 30 min. The high-molecular-weight proteins (alcohol dehydrogenase from S. cerevisiae and T. thermophilus with molecular weights of 150 and 170 kDa, respectively) were retained even after preincubation of 60 min. The specific activities and electrophoretic analysis of some of the proteins obtained reflected their high purity.
