FAQ
The procedure utilized in this kit is designed, in some ways, similar to the lithium cation based method. No spheroplast step is involved. The mechanism probably involves some metabolic pathways that we do not fully understand.
Yes. Based on data from other labs and ours, this kit does work as well on C. albicans, S. pombe, or Pichia pastoris as well as S. cerevisiae.
There is no loss of transformation efficiency after half a year of storage below -70°C. The transformation efficiency gradually starts to drop after 6 months.
Thaw at room temperature.
We usually see a 10-30% increase of transformants after the first cycle of freezing. You can refreeze and thaw the competent yeast cells 3-4 times without noticeable effect on the transformation efficiency. Further freezing-thawing cycles adversely affect the transformation efficiency.
No. Temperatures between 30°C and 37°C are in the optimal temperature range. Incubation below or above this range greatly reduces the transformation efficiency.
Yes. Different digestion buffers have only a slight effect on the transformation efficiency. You should try to keep the DNA volume in 5 µl per transformation experiment by increasing the concentration of DNA in the digestion reaction.
For most circular plasmid transformations, 50 µl is enough. But if you use linearized DNA or use more than one selection marker, you can apply up to 200 µl of transformation mixture on each plate to increase the number of transformants. The number of transformants increases linearly with the amount of transformation mixture applied to each plate.
No. Use any plate that is appropriate for your experiment.
No. There is no need for carrier DNA.
