5. Incubate the cell suspension with 3cm by 2.5 cm cellulose sheet (BEMLIESE #606) for 1 h
6. Measure OD600 values of the cell suspension. This OD600 values are <after>.
7. Transfer the cellulose sheet to a new buffer of the same volume, incubate for 1 hour
8. Measure OD600 values of the buffer This OD600 values are <wash>.

1. Measure OD600 of LB liquid medium (10μg/ml CP) and set blank.
2. Prepare 10ml LB liquid medium (10μg/ml CP) with E.coli sample whose OD600 values are adjusted to 1.0, Cover the tube with a plastic sheet with airholes
3. Start incubating at 160rpm, 37°C. Measure the absorbance promptly and set it 0 minute.
4. Measure OD600 every 30 minutes (before 2hours)/every an hour (after 2hours).

RT-PCR

RT-PCR was performed using QuantiTect® Reverse Transcription Kit according to the manufacturer's protocol.
