摘要

A rapid and simple protocol for the transformation of plasmid DNA using CaCl2 is reported. 3 similar to 10 min incubation of cells with DNA on ice and spreading onto agar plates pre-warmed to 37 similar to degrees C, resulting in more than 10(5) colonies/mu g plasmid DNA. The effect of Ca2+ concentration and store time at 4 degrees C on transformation efficiency is also discussed.
