Deleting the hns Gene for the H-NS Protein in Escherichia coli Reduces the Transformation Efficiency Following the Heath Shock Transformation Protocol

One commonly used, yet little understood method for transferring DNA into cells is the temperature shock transformation method (TST) that exposes competent bacteria to o o successive temperatures (4 C and 42 C). This study tested the effect of the gene for the heatstable nucleoid...
