Optimization of technical conditions for the transformation of Lactobacillus acidophilus strains by electroporation

AIMS: To optimize the conditions for electroporating foreign plasmid DNA into Lactobacillus acidophilus ATCC 43121. METHODS AND RESULTS: The conditions of electroporation were optimized to improve the transformation efficiency. Plasmid pNZ123 containing multicloning site and chloramphenicol resistance was employed to construct a cloning vector. The optimum electroporation conditions for the maximum transformation efficiency were a pulse strength of 12.5 kV cm(-1), a pulse number of 10, a pulse interval of 500 ms, and pNZ123 plasmid DNA concentration of 25 ng microl(-1). Under the optimum conditions the transformation efficiency of L. acidophilus ATCC 43121 was 1.84 +/- 0.13 x 10(4) (+/- standard error of measurements) CFU per mug of plasmid DNA. Other strains of L. acidophilus showed transformation efficiencies ranging from 1.38 +/- 0.02 x 10(4) to 9.32 +/- 0.54 x 10(4) under these conditions. A green fluorescent protein (GFP) was successfully expressed and detected by fluorescence microscopy when the pKU::slpA-GFP, pNZ123 containing GFP gene, was transformed in L. acidophilus ATCC 43121 under the optimum conditions. CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that electrical parameters, antibiotic concentration, and host specificity play important roles to determine transformation efficiency of lactobacilli. The optimum conditions for the transformation of L. acidophilus ATCC 43121 may be applied to improve transformation efficiency of other lactobacilli. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The optimized conditions for electrotransformation may provide a mean to improve the introduction of foreign DNA into L. acidophilus to be used as a vehicle for a heterologous protein expression.     

Mg2+-free buffer elevates transformation efficiency of Vibrio parahaemolyticus by electroporation

Aims:  The ability to transform Vibrio spp. is limited by the extracellular nuclease that their cells secrete. The reported transformation efficiency of this organism is 10²–10⁵ transformants per microgram DNA. We tried different buffers and conditions, aiming to elevate its transformation efficiency.
Methods and Results:  MgCl₂ and sucrose are often included in the washing and/or electroporation buffers to stabilize the cell membrane. However, Mg²⁺ is required for production and activity of the extracellular nuclease. A simple electroporation buffer lacking Mg²⁺ was found to increase transformation efficiency dramatically, to levels 50-fold more than the buffers containing Mg²⁺. To maintain the stability of the cell membranes, Mg²⁺ was replaced with high concentrations of sucrose, from 272 to 408 mmol l⁻¹. With the new buffers, the transformation efficiency of Vibrio parahaemolyticus was increased to 2·2 × 10⁶ transformants per microgram DNA.
Conclusions:  Mg²⁺ in the buffer adversely affected transformation of V. parahaemolyticus by electroporation. The cell membranes of vibrio can be stabilized by high concentration of sucrose when Mg²⁺ is absent.
Significance and Impact of the Study:  A greater transformation efficiency can facilitate the genetic analysis of an organism and its pathogenicity. Buffers lacking Mg²⁺ can be used for other nuclease-producing organisms.     

Improved conditions for the transformation by electroporation of the extracellular polysaccharide-producing methylotroph Methylobacillus sp.

The transformation efficiency of Methylobacillus sp. strain 12S, using electroporation, was unaffected by the growth phase of the cells but competent cells grown at 21 °C had a 1.9 × 10³ times higher transformation efficiency than those grown at 30 °C. Heat shock treatment further increased the transformation efficiency up to 7 times.     

The Effect of thecrp Genotypes on the Transformation Efficiency in Escherichia coli

We have found that a significant difference exists in transformationefficiency between the crp⁺/crp^– isogenic pair of strainsof Escherichia coli, with the efficiency being much higher incrp^– than in crp⁺. The ratio of transformation efficiencybetween crp⁺ and crp^– strains depends very little on theplasmid size. This observation suggests that the differenceof the transformation efficiency is due to mechanisms otherthan a crp-regulated endonuclease. The crp gene is one of thefirst specific genes that have been shown to affect transformationefficiency.

Efficient transformation ofKlebsiella oxytoca by electroporation

A protocol for the transformation ofKlebsiella oxytoca by electroporation was developed. Preparation of competent cells at early exponential phase was most critical to obtain a high transformation efficiency. The highest efficiency of 1.6 × 10⁶ transformants per μg DNA (pBR 322) could be obtained by electroporation ofK. oxytoca cells prepared at the OD₆₀₀ of 0.2 with 1.25 μg DNA at the filed strength of 2.5 kV, the parallel resistance of 200 Ω and capacitance of 25 μF.     

Factors influencing stable transformation of maize protoplasts by electroporation

Two chimaeric genes, containing the promoter of the 35S gene of cauliflower mosaic virus coupled to neomycin phosphotransferase (35S-NPT-NOS) or to hygromycin phosphotransferase (35S-HPT-NOS) have been stably transferred to maize (Zea mays cv. Black Mexican sweet) cells by electroporation. Transformation frequencies of 7.6×10^-4 and 8×10^-4, respectively, (based on the number of surviving cells that divided) were obtained with four pulses of 1 ms duration using 400 V capacitive discharge. Cells transformed to kanamycin-resistance and hygromycin-resistance subsequently multiplied to form callus. Southern blot analysis demonstrated the integration of the selectable marker genes, neomycin or hygromycin phosphotransferase, with single or multiple copy numbers. The blots from DNA of hygromycin-resistant calli also suggested the formation of plasmid concatemers.     

The effect of temperature conditions during growth on the transformation frequency of Coccomyxa subellipsoidea C-169 obtained by electroporation

Study on the electro-transformation conditions of improving transformation efficiency for Bacillus subtilis

Aims: To optimize the transformation conditions and improve the transformation efficiency of Bacillus subtilis WB800 and DB104. Methods and Results: Trehalose, which could decrease the damage of electric shock to the cells, was added to the electroporation medium containing sorbitol and mannitol. The factors affecting the transformation efficiency, such as the growth phase of bacteria, cell concentration, electric field strength and plasmid variety, were examined and improved. The new method increased the transformation efficiency of B. subtilis by nearly 100‐fold compared with the conventional one. Conclusions: With the optimized method, the transformation efficiency came up to 3·64 × 10⁵ transformants μg^?1 DNA for WB800, and 2·10 × 10⁵ transformants μg^?1 DNA for DB104. Significance and Impact of the Study: This improvement in transformation efficiency will be largely attributed to the research of expression of exogenous genes in B. subtilis, gene library construction for directed evolution and transformation of wild‐type B. subtilis strains.
