The possibility of electric field-mediated transformation ("electroporation") of a gram-positive bacterium (Enterococcus faecalis) and two gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas putida) with plasmid DNA was investigated. E. faecalis protoplasts could be transformed by electroporati
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
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
