Making electrocompetent cells:
- Grow cells in 500 ml BSK II at 32 C to a cell density of 3-7
x 107 cells/ml.
- Harvest by centrifugation (4,000 x g, 20 min., 4 C). Wash twice
in 60 ml cold PBS and pellet by centrifugation (3,000 x g, 10 min.,
4 C).
- Wash three times in 20 ml cold EPS and pellet by centrifugation (2,000
x g, 10 min., 4 C).
- Resuspend the cells in 0.6 ml cold EPS.
