Ag43 expressing

We usually used plastic tube for incubating.

The E. coli expressing Ag43 attachment to the face of tube wall.

We estimated the reason is attachment to hydrophobic materials. We incubated in 1 ml of LBA (one contained 1% of L-arabinose, another did not contain L-arabinose) at 37C in glass tubes.
