Efficient transformation of Staphylococcus aureus using multi-pulse electroporation.

Abstract:

:A new multi-pulse electroporation system was evaluated to transform Staphylococcus aureus. Compared to the conventional electroporation system, it yielded high transformation efficiency to obtain more than 3.9×105S. aureus RN4220 transformed cells/1μg plasmid DNA using a single electroporation by manipulating the poring pulse and transfer pulse.

  • Digital recordings of gas-vesicle collapse used to measure turgor pressure and cell-water relations of cyanobacterial cells.

    abstract::The gas vesicles of the cyanobacterium Microcystis sp. collapse under pressures ranging from 0.65-1.10 MPa, determined from turbidity changes in a pressure nephelometer. In turgid cells, collapse occurs at a lower range of pressures; the difference is equal to the cell turgor pressure. The turgor pressure decreases, h...
