Making electrocompetent cells:
- Cultivate cells with vigorous shaking at 30 C to an O.D.620
of 0.4-0.5.
- Harvest by centrifugation at 5,000 rpm for 10 min at 0 C.
- Wash with the original culture volume of ice-cold 10% glycerol.
- Repeat this step three times using a half and a quarter of the original
volume, and finally 2-4 ml of the glycerol solution (7.0 x 107
cells/ml final cell concentration).
- Freeze 40 l aliquots in liquid nitrogen and store at 70
