Figure 6Antibody-induced aggregation does not affect RNA synthesis in
E. coli K12. (
a)
E. coli K12 were incubated in the presence of BSA, hSP-A (100 μg/ml), or
E. coli–aggregating EK12 (100 μg/ml) or PM antibody (10 μg/ml) for 1 hour at 37°C and then visualized under the light microscope. (
b)
E. coli were incubated for 1.5 hours with
3H-uridine prior to assessment of RNA synthesis as above. Data are mean ± SEM;
n = 3.
