In contrast to a variety of other yeasts, Candida albicans has proved difficult to transform with high efficiency. Lithium acetate transformation is fast and simple but provides a very low efficiency of DNA transfer (50-100 transformants/ g DNA), while spheroplast transformation, although more effic

Bacillus brevis 47 was successfully and reproducibly transformed with pUB110 plasmid DNA by electroporation with an efficiency of 104 transformants per/2g of DNA. This represents a 10-fold improvement over the chemical transformation method previously used for this organism.
Pretreatment of yeast cells with lithium acetate (LiAc) and dithiothreitol (DTT) enhances the frequency of transformation by electroporation. The method shows improvements of 6-67-fold in wild-type strains derived from commonly used Saccharomyces cerevisiae genetic backgrounds. In addition, 15-300-f
Optimum conditions were defined for the electrotransformation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 with plasmid pLAFR1, resulting in a 1500-fold increase in transformation efficiency compared to conventional chemical transformation with MgCl2. In addition, PAO236 and two out of three recent clinical isola
Standard electroporation of Salmonella typhimurium TA1538 by the plasmid pAMH70 yielded 1.3~10~ transformantslpg of plasmid DNA. Three parameters: resistance (U,), voltage (U,) and dose of plasmid DNA (U,) were optimized with two Doehlert designs. Transformation was increased 75 fold. Optimal values
## Rolling circle replication of plasmid pGKV21 in L. luctis was a more stable replication mode than the theta replication of plasmid pIL253. When the plasmid pGKV21 was used to develop and optimize transformation of L. fsctis by electroporation, optimum transformation was obtained using dense su
