Mechanism of transformation in Mycobacteria using a novel shockwave assisted technique driven by in-situ generated oxyhydrogen

Abstract We present a novel method for shockwave-assisted bacterial transformation using a miniature oxyhydrogen detonation-driven shock tube. We have obtained transformation efficiencies of about 1.28 × 106, 1.7 × 106, 5 × 106, 1 × 105, 1 × 105 and 2 × 105 transformants/µg of DNA for Escherichia co...
