A novel method for DNA delivery into bacteria using cationic copolymers [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2021 Amphiphilic copolymers have a wide variety of medical and biotechnological applications, including DNA transfection in eukaryotic cells. Still, no polymer-primed transfection of prokaryotic cells has been described.

Altering under-represented DNA sequences elevates bacterial transformation efficiency
mBio, 2023 A cornerstone of bacterial molecular biology is the ability to genetically manipulate the microbe under study. Many bacteria are difficult to manipulate genetically, a phenotype due in part to robust removal of newly acquired DNA, for example, by ...
