(A) Scheme of the experimental setup designed to measure protein loss during agitation of a protein solution with a rotating wheel. The speed ranged from 3 to 30 rpm corresponding to a power of 0.12 to 1.23 W/kg. Tubes made of PP, glass, TEFLON, LOBIND were used. A conical PP FISHERBRAND tube is represented. (B) Protein losses measured after 24 h agitation of YPE cell extract at 6 °C and 3 rpm in each tube. The initial protein concentration was C0 = 0.1 g/L and filled volume 60%. The error corresponds to the standard deviation for three biological replicates. Significant differences are determined using the Tukey’s “honestly significant difference” test realized from variance analysis (Anova) (*** p-value < 0.001).
