Biolistic transformation of a procaryote, Bacillus megaterium.
We present a simple and rapid method for introducing exogenous DNA into a bacterium, Bacillus megaterium, utilizing the recently developed biolistic process. A suspension of B. megaterium was spread onto the surface of nonselective medium. Plasmid pUB110 DNA, which contains a gene that confers kanamycin resistance, was precipitated onto tungsten particles. Using a biolistic propulsion system, t...
متن کاملBiolistic co-transformation of rice using gold nanoparticles
ABSTRACT- In order to produce transgenic rice lines lacking selectable marker gene, biolistic co-transformation technique using gold nanoparticles was adopted. In the first step, the efficiency of different sizes of gold particles was evaluated. The results showed that the efficiency of the nanoparticles in the transformation was comparable to that of the micro particles. Subsequently, two sepa...
متن کاملBiolistic gun-mediated maize genetic transformation.
Biolistic gun-mediated transformation is one of the two most effective and popular methods for introducing genes into maize. In this chapter, we describe a detailed protocol for genetic transformation of the maize genotype, Hi II. The protocol uses 0.6-microm gold particles as microcarriers and the herbicide resistance bar gene as a selective marker. Both immature zygotic embryos and immature e...
متن کاملGeneration of transgenic C. elegans by biolistic transformation.
The number of laboratories using the free living nematode C. elegans is rapidly growing. The popularity of this biological model is attributed to a rapid generation time and short life span, easy and inexpensive maintenance, fully sequenced genome, and array of RNAi resources and mutant animals. Additionally, analysis of the C. elegans genome revealed a great similarity between worms and higher...
متن کاملHomologous gene targeting in Caenorhabditis elegans by biolistic transformation.
Targeted homologous recombination is a powerful approach for genome manipulation that is widely used for gene alteration and knockouts in mouse and yeast. In Caenorhabditis elegans, several methods of target-selected mutagenesis have been implemented but none of them provides the opportunity of introducing exact predefined changes into the genome. Although anecdotal cases of homologous gene tar...
