Improving gene transfer in Clostridium pasteurianum through the isolation of rare hypertransformable variants

Effective microbial metabolic engineering is reliant on efficient gene transfer. Here we present a simple screening strategy that may be deployed to isolate rare, hypertransformable variants. The procedure was used to increase the frequency of transformation of the solvent producing organism Clostri...
