Methionine Auxotrophic Agrobacteria
Competent Cells
Our
new Methionine
Auxotrophic Agrobacterium have been engineered to utilize
methionine, an essential amino acid, for growth and survival. Methionine
Auxotrophic Agrobacterium’s growth is halted unless free methionine is added to
minimal medium.
Successful transformation often
depends on the ability to control Agrobacterium using antibiotics to
prevent it from overgrowing the explants, however antibiotics can have
undesired effects on the plant tissue. The use of Auxotrophic Agrobacterium
minimize this issue and their modifications simplify procedures and increase
overall plant transformation efficiency. Ultimately, the use of
autotrophs reduces bacterial overgrowth during co-cultivation during plant
transformation.
Benefits Include:
● Enables the development of more
efficient transformation systems
● Reduced
bacterial overgrowth during co-cultivation
● Decreased
need for antibiotics
