Biofilm Parts：

The following steps work for the experiments which conduct the characterization of biofilm via solution.

Part I Preparation for the Characterization: The activation of the bacteria.

Take the CsgA - Histag mutant E.coli as a specific example.

i.First, prepare a aseptic condition with the usage of Bunsen burner, which is able to achieve sterilization in a limited extent.

ii.Take 5ml Luria-Bertani liquid medium into the centrifuge tube with both the LB medium and the centrifuge tube sterilized.

iii.Take 34mg／ml Chloramphenicol which is kept in minus 20 centigrade and diluted 10 times in the 5ml LB liquid medium.

iv. Take the CsgA - Histag mutant E.coli which is kept in minus 80 centigrade into the centrifuge tube with the Chloramphenicol added.

Part II Characterization of Biofilm
