Also worth trying a lower IPTG level ~ 0.1mM and or different media,
e.g. TB, SOC or m9 instead of LB, it's all a bit random but sometimes
these things can make a difference. Adding 3% EtOH on induction
worked for me once, it's supposed to shock the cells and stimulate
chaperone production, I was surprised I must say. Funny old world......
