Back to Electro-transformation of Lactobacillus spp.
Overview
General guidelines for the electro-transformation of Lactobacillus sake as described by Berthier et al. and as used by Alegre et al. with Lactobacillus plantarum.
Materials
- 50 ul of L.plantarum competent cells
- In vitro modified plasmid DNA
- MRS media + antibiotic
- Stock solution of MgCl2
- Stock Solution of Glucose
- Electroporation Buffer (0.5M Sucrose, 10% Glycerol)
Procedure
- Grow cells overnight in MRS Broth at 30°C
- Use overnight culture to inoculate 100ml MRS Broth
- Incubate at 30°C until OD600 = 0.4-0.6
Notes
All questions, input and feedback are welcome!
