The effect of the outer membrane permeabilizing polycation, polymyxin B nonapeptide (PMBN) on the transformation of E. coli HB101 with pBR322 plasmid DNA was investigated. Pretreatment of cells with PMBN (followed by suspending the cells in PMBN-free medium) did not stimulate the development of competence induced by the calcium heat pulse. In the absence of calcium-ions, a high PMBN concentration (1 mM) was able to induce a low transformation frequency provided that PMBN was not removed before the addition of DNA.
研究了外膜通透化聚阳离子多粘菌素B九肽(PMBN)对大肠杆菌HB101用pBR322质粒DNA进行转化的影响。用PMBN预处理细胞(随后将细胞悬浮于不含PMBN的培养基中)并不能刺激由钙热脉冲诱导的感受态的形成。在没有钙离子的情况下,高浓度的PMBN(1 mM)能够诱导低转化频率,前提是在加入DNA之前不去除PMBN。
