Describe the role of CaCl2 in the preparation of competent cells?
Advertisements
उत्तर
CaCl2 is known to increase the efficiency of DNA uptake to produce transformed bactrial cells. The divalent Ca+2 ions supposedly create transient pores on the bactrial cell wall by which the entry of foreign DNA is facilitated into the bactrial cells.
