* They concentrate cells 5x (25 ml culture to 5 ml resuspension) | |||
* They use standard HEPES EPB | |||
* They wash 3x | |||
* They electroporate 100 ul cells | |||
* They add up to 10 ul of DNA (3-5 ug) | |||
* They elute DNA in water | |||
* They hold cells on ice with DNA for 10-20 minutes prior to electroporation | |||
* They resuspend in 900 ul culture | |||
* The recovery is 1 hour, but sometimes plate directly with little effect on efficiency | |||

Here is the procedure I've been using, it came from Ben. | |||
Electroporate Mycoplasma | |||
Always run a WT control so that you can see if the transformation worked | |||
Label one Gene Pulse cuvette per sample and cool it down in the freezer. | |||
From here until 37oC incubation everything is kept on ice. | |||
SP-4 No Rx, DNA, Gene Pulse Cuvette, Competent Cell | |||
Gene Pulse Cuvette – Biorad 0.2 cm # 165-2086. | |||
Combine 5µl Plasmid DNA and competent cells. mix a few times with the | |||
pipette. Place them back on Ice. | |||
Take your ice bucket containing, SP-4 No Rx, Competent Cells /DNA mix, and | |||
cold labeled cuvette to the Gene pulse station. | |||
Gene Pulse station | |||
Power on | |||
Low range | |||
Pulse controller set on Low range 100 resistance | |||
High Range infinity | |||
Capacitance 25 µF | |||
To set Gene Pulse II use the raise / lower indicator . set to 2.50 | |||
One sample at a time, Pipette cells down side of cuvette. | |||
Place in slide loader, ( will only go one direction ) and slide into place. | |||
Push both buttons simultaneously and hold for 5 full seconds. | |||
Reading should be 4.8 to 5.1. | |||
Place 1 ml cold SP-4 No Rx in cuvette on pulsed cells immediately and hold on | |||
Ice until all samples are done. | |||
Place the cuvette in a disposable 50 ml beaker. 4 cuvette per beaker. | |||
Incubate in Mycoplasma incubator for 60 Minutes | |||
While Cells are incubation retrieve your PPLO Plates with Appropriate Rx | |||
(Gentamicin 18 ug/ml)( Chloramphenacol 24) plates from the refrigerator and | |||
dry them in the 37oC incubator. | |||
Need 3 per sample. Place in 37oC incubator upside down with the bottoms at | |||
an angle on the lids to let the moisture out. | |||
Plating Transformated Mycoplasma | |||
End of 1-hour incubation retrieve cells and plate on the PPLO Plates with | |||
Appropriate Rx (Gentamicin 18 ug/ml)( Chloramphenacol 24) plates you just | |||
dried out. | |||
Each sample gets 3 plates. The culture coming out of the cuvette is -1 dilution | |||
so the first tube is -2. Plate 100 of dilutions -2, -3, -4 . Incubate until you can | |||
see colonies and blood overlay. Pick 20-30 colonies each samples and grow up | |||
in 500 µl. | |||
Transfer any remaining Transformed culture to a 1.5 or 2 ml tube and store -80 | |||

* Wash 45 ml cells 3x with new EPB (no glycerol) 45 ml each time | |||
* Resuspend to 250 ul | |||
* Take 50 ul, suspend in 900 ul EPB | |||
* Take 50 ul, resuspend in 450 ul | |||

* Transform each 3x | |||

** once with DNA left on ice 10 minutes | |||
** once with DNA left on ice 20 minutes | |||
* Electroporate at 1.5KV, 1 mm gap | |||
* add cold medium to 2 ml in the cuvette | |||
* incubate in medium 60 minutes at 30C | |||
* plate out on tet plates | |||
