To determine the best methods, we compared four commonly used chemical methods (DMSO, MgCl2-CaCl2, CaCl2 and Hanahan's methods) on frequently used Escherichia coli (E. coli) strains: DH5α, XL-1 Blue, SCS110, JM109, TOP10 and BL21-(DE3)-PLysS. Hanahan's method was found to be most effective for DH5α, XL-1 Blue and JM109 strains (P | Source Title: | Bioscience Reports | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/99811 | ISSN: | 01448463 | DOI: | 10.1042/BSR20130098 |
