Transformation of Zymomonas mobilis by a hybrid plasmid

The transformation of Zymomonas mobilis by plasmid DNA was achieved using a modification of the CaCl 2 method for Escherichia coli. The highest frequency of transformation obtained was 5 × 10 3 transformants/μg DNA. The success of the method depended upon the use of a plasmid which is a cointegrate...

Zusammenfassung:The transformation of Zymomonas mobilis by plasmid DNA was achieved using a modification of the CaCl 2 method for Escherichia coli. The highest frequency of transformation obtained was 5 × 10 3 transformants/μg DNA. The success of the method depended upon the use of a plasmid which is a cointegrate between a Z. mobilis cryptic plasmid and an E. coli plasmid carrying two selectable drug resistance markers.
