Transformation of Escherichia coli with large DNA molecules by electroporation.

We have examined bacterial electroporation with a specific interest in the transformation of large DNA, i.e. molecules > 100 kb. We have used DNA from bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs) ranging from 7 to 240 kb, as well as BAC ligation mixes containing a range o different sized molecules. The efficiency of electroporation with large DNA is strongly dependent on the strain of Escherichia coli used; strains which offer comparable efficiencies for 7 kb molecules differ in their uptake of 240 kb DNA by as much as 30-fold. Even with a host strain that transforms relatively well with large DNA, transformation efficiency drops dramatically with increasing size of the DNA. Molecules of 240 kb transform approximately 30-fold less well, on a molar basis, than molecules of 80 kb. Maximum transformation of large DNA occurs with different voltage gradients and with different time constants than are optimal for smaller DNA. This provides the opportunity to increase the yield of transformants which have taken up large DNA relative to the number incorporating smaller molecules. We have demonstrated that conditions may be selected which increase the average size of BAC clones generated by electroporation and compare the overall efficiency of each of the conditions tested.     

Improved transformation of Pseudomonas putida KT2440 by electroporation

Summary An electric field-mediated transformation (i.e. electroporation) was performed to determine optimal conditions for P. putida transformation. The effects of culture age, electroporation buffer composition, electric field strength, pulse time constant and DNA concentration on transformation efficiency were examined. When plasmid DNA of 8 to 11 kb in size was used with an electroporation buffer containing 1 mM HEPES (pH 7.0), maximum transformation efficiency of 1.0 × 10⁷ transformants/g DNA was obtained at field strength of 12 kV/cm with pulse time of 2.5 millisecond. A linear increase in the number of transformants was observed as DNA concentration was increased over 4 orders of magnitude. A linear relationship was observed between growth phase and transformation efficiency up to OD₆₀₀ = 2.0. This reliable and simple method should be useful for introduction of plasmid DNA into intact P. putida cells.     

Transformation of the Acidophilic Heterotroph Acidiphilium facilis by Electroporation

We constructed a cloning vector for use in the acidophilic heterotroph Acidiphilium facilis. The vector pAH1O1 (8.8kb) was constructed from a 6.1 kb restriction fragment of the Acidiphilium plasmid pAU1 and a pUC19 carrying a β-lactamase gene. The antibiotic resistance gene was efficiently expressed in A. facilis. Several factors which influenced the transformation efficiency were optimized, resulting in a transformation efficiency of up to 3 X 10³ transformants per μg of plasmid DNA at a field strength of 10kV/cm with a 7.0ms pulse.     

A novel method for increasing the transformation efficiency of Escherichia coli-application forbacterial artificial chromosome library construction.

Bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) libraries play a pivotal role in genomics studies. A crucial step in BAC library construction is the transformation of Escherichia coli by electroporation. Absolute efficiency (cfu/microgram DNA) is affected by a number of factors including the topological form and treatment of DNA samples. Here we report a simple new protocol using tRNA assisted precipitation that increased transformation efficiency by 70-fold for BAC ligations and up to 400-fold for plasmid ligations. The mechanism may involve altering or stabilizing the topographical form of the DNA molecules.     

Electrotransformation of three pathovars of Xanthomonas campestris

Procedures for electrotransformation have been adapted for three pathovars of Xanthomonas campestris: campestris, vesicatoria and manihotis. Three differently sized plasmids (51, 9.3 and 3.3 kb) at different concentrations (10, 30 and 50 ng/sample) and different field strengths (10, 12, 14 and 18 kV/cm) were used. The efficiency of transformation was dependent on the recipient strain and the plasmid introduced. In general, a field strength of 14 kV/cm as well as a concentration of 30 ng plasmid DNA/sample seemed to be adequate for most conditions. Only X. campestris pv. vesicatoria strain 479 required a higher field strength for better efficiency. The plasmid size was inversely related to the efficiency of transformation; up to 1.6 × 10¹⁰, 5.3 × 10⁷ and 3.7 × 10⁵ transformants/g DNA were obtained using the pXG31 (3.3 kb), pUFR027 (9.3 kb) and RP4 (51 kb) plasmids, respectively.

Parameters including growth phase of cells, ionic strength of the suspending medium, concentration and size of plasmid DNAs, amplitude and duration of the pulse, were evaluated in order to determine conditions that improved transformation efficiency.

Isolation and characterization of a mildly thermophilic nonsulfur purple bacterium containing bacteriochlorophyll b

A method for transformation of whole Bacillus amyloliquefaciens cells by electroporation was developed. The procedure is as efficient as the protoplast transformation method, resulting in up to 10(5) transformants/micrograms plasmid DNA, but requires less effort and time. Cells for electroporation were grown to late exponential phase in a rich medium supplemented with 0.25 M sucrose, washed with and resuspended in 0.25 M sucrose, 1 mM HEPES, 1 mM MgCl2, 10% (v/v) glycerol, pH 7.0, at 3-5 x 10(10) cells/ml for storage at -80 degrees C. The highest transformation frequency was obtained at 7.5 kV/cm with a 25 microF capacitor. The transformation efficiency increased linearly with DNA concentration at least over the range 10 ng-12.5 micrograms/ml. Transformations with ligated DNA and of industrial strains were also successful. In addition, B. subtilis cells treated as above could be transformed by electroporation, resulting in 10(4) transformants/micrograms DNA at 12.5 kV/cm.     

Improved method for high-efficiency electrotransformation of Escherichia coli with the large BAC plasmids

High transformation competency of Escherichia coli is one of the critical factors in the bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC)-based DNA library construction. Many electroporation protocols have been published until now, but the majority of them was optimized for transformation of small plasmids. Large plasmids with a size above 50 kbp display reduced transformation efficiency and thereby require specific conditions in the preparation and electroporation of electrocompetent cells. In the present work, we have optimized the parameters critical to the application of BAC DNA electrotransformation into E. coli. Systematic evaluation of electroporation variables has revealed several key factors like temperature of growth, media supplements, washing buffer, and cell concentration. Improvements made in the transformation protocol have led to electrocompetent cells with transformation efficiency up to 7?×?10⁸ transformants per microgram of 120 kbp BAC plasmid DNA. We have successfully used in-house prepared competent cells, the quality of which is comparable with those produced by different companies, in the construction of metagenomic libraries from the soil. Our protocol can also be beneficial for other application with limited DNA source.
