Description No Description Procedure 1. Inoculate 1 ml from overnight culture into 100 ml Psi broth (scale up or down as needed). Incubate at 37 C with aeration to A550=0.48 2. Ice 15 min. 3. Pellet cells in appropriate centrifuge tube 3-5000 x g 5 min (~5000 rpm in a Sorvall SS-34 rotor) 4. Discard supernatant and add 0.4 volume (ie of original volume, here it is 40 ml) TfbI, resupend and ice 15 min. 5. Pellet cells as in #3. 6. Discard supernatant and resupend in 0.04 volume TfbII, ice 15 min and either use immediately or quick freeze at -70C for storage. I usually save these in 0.25 to 0.5 ml aliquots. Quick freeze in ethanol-dry ice or liquid nitrogen prior to storage in a -70 to -80 C freezer. Thaw on ice just before using in a transformation experiment. I typically transform 50 ul cells with 2-10 ul of a ligation reaction, and you should get between 1x10exp8 to 1x10exp9 cfu's/ug DNA.
