| + | The part, when expressed correctly, allows for an increased ability for adherence to antigenic surfaces. The antigenic surface can be any common protein provided the synthetic adhesin VHH region is modified to be complimentary. In this case the VHH region has a complimentary binding site of GFP, and so if GFP is fixed to a surface, such as an ELISA plate then any bacteria expressing a complimentary binding region will be better able to adhere to given surface.
