A 25-kb supercoiled plasmid, pRK2013, was transformed into three different
competent cell lines (figure
1): XL10-Gold, XL2-Blue cells and DH10B cells.**
The pRK2013 plasmid was selected to simulate the large DNA molecules that
exist when the transformation substrate is a ligated molecule. These data
show that XL10-Gold cells were up to 80-fold more efficient than DH10B
and 10-fold more efficient than XL2-Blue cells at transforming this large
plasmid. The efficiency with which supercoiled pUC18 transformed was the
same
