Ultrasound-mediated DNA transfer for bacteria

In environmental microbiology, the most commonly used methods of bacterial DNA transfer are conjugation and electroporation. However, conjugation requires physical contact and cell–pilus–cell interactions; electroporation requires low-ionic strength medium and high voltage. These limitations have hampered broad applications of bacterial DNA delivery. We have employed a standard low frequency 40 kHz ultrasound bath to successfully transfer plasmid

"low frequency 40 kHz ultrasound"

Guess what ROV's use my friends..?

There were possibly some very unique events happening down there, all I can say is that we have not heard the last of this story. Mark my words.



Mat you back from playing poker yet?
