GFP in bacteria

I´m trying to measure the GFP expression in bacteria, and I´ve got a nice
signal, but not for all samples, though they have all been treated the
same. We fixed them with 4% formaldehid in PBS at 4°C.
I´ve been told that the GFP is quite small, could it be that it gets
through the fixed cell wall?
Could somebody give me an advice? Does it exist a better kind for fixing
the bacteria for GFP analysis?

Thanks in advance!!
